Tuesday, July 7, 1998: How to juggle eggs

[NonsenseWords]

...actually, Millie, um...


Hey, is that a Simpson's thingy in the upper-left corner?

[Happy Rutabegas year]

You know that at least one of the writers of the Simpsons was an OM fan, and found out that DCS felt like she was Lisa in almost every way, and back when DCS was still David they made an episode where Lisa pretended to be a boy, and her disguise was literally a copy of DCS's own "simpsona"

I see Millie's mom decided to start going barefoot already.

You JUGGLE the UNBORN?

[Cactus Jack]

Calvin and Hobbes had one like this, but so did Foxtrot. I think if more then one person uses the idea its no longer considered stealing, just being uncreative.

The question is which one of THOSE two ripped the other off.

[Happy Rutabegas year]

they both ripped off OM

Calvin and Hobbes ran from November 1985 to December 1995. Foxtrot was published in 1988 and is still going (at this time, though, only on Sundays). Ozy and Millie began in 1998.

So clearly Watterson read O&M, built a time machine, and went back in time in order to make Calvin and Hobbes, which O&M cribs from rather liberally at this point in time. That way, in the future, he would be able to read O&M to make a time machine to go back in time to make Calvin and Hobbes to spur Simpson to make O&M so he could steal jokes and go back in time...

According to book commentary, the sole compendium of human knowledge ever, this was apparently a spoof of Clinton's many and varied scandals. Apparently.

[Cactus Jack]

If he wanted to spoof Clinton Millie should have had sex with an intern. It doesn't even make sense any other way.

[Arloest]

Sarcasm and non-serious statements really don't translate well over the internet, apparently.

[Happy Rutabegas year]

and on DC, of all places. Gosh if I remember correctly, back in the early half of the decade...

I wanna see that

[Kumquat]

It happened in the episode "Girls Just Want to Have Sums". She looked like this:

Eh.
