I will be getting my cavities filled today, so that’s fun. I shudder to think of the expense. That’s about all I have going on, which is more than enough really.
Anyway, I hope you have a nice Monday. I’ll see you on Wednesday unless the dentistry goes wildly awry. Until then, beware the Soggies.
Edit:
This is just a note for myself since I just remembered a message I got this morning. Jack Simpson died on the second of July, 2025. If I ever go back and read all these posts this is something I would want to make note of. Phil Buntin died several years ago, so both of my high school art teachers have died now. I can’t really put much blame on either of them for my art since I refused to listen to them most of the time. Still, I was fond of them so it’s sad to know that part of my past is firmly in the past now.

Carol’s new hairdo reminds me of- Helga from “hey arnold!”, somehow.
(That means I really like it, by the way!)
:D
New Carol in the comics and old Carol in the banner and cast list is so jarring for me. The new one is so polished but the old one is so iconic. I’m feeling confused.
I think my dentist calls his teeth, “My Thousand Dollar Friends”, because- it costs about $1,000 to replace each one.
As Boris Baddenov says: Hoo boy.
>:(
;)
Hope for ceramic fillings. FAR less painful.
My dentist finished replacing all of my old fillings with ceramic long long ago. He says they last longer and put less stress on the remaining tooth structure. As a bonus, I no longer set off the airport metal detectors.
Truth, I didn’t know it until one needed replacing but metal filings have a working life. Apparently the amalgam expands over time. It keeps the filling locked in but does stress the tooth. Amalgam is a mechanical bond while the composite filling is a molecular bond.
Love Carol’s expression in the final panel. You nailed it.
A hair twirl? Ooooooh.
…and that (in panel two) wasn’t supposed to be a reply.
But yeah, that last panel is great and she deserves it.
It’s always rough to lose high school teachers. It not only reminds you of your own mortality but it also takes a chunk of your past with it.
Just the passing of a mentor in general. A couple of my Dad’s business partners also had this level of influence.
lol this is hilarious
Reuben Apodaca was my college animation processes teacher. He died years back, but I didn’t find out until fairly recently. I left notes all over my workspace to remind me about a lot of my teachers and who is left and who is gone. And I am sad, but I also smile, remembering them all.
“The Observed”.
That sounds like a cool…spies + action film, starring Steve McQueen.
:D
Common dichotomy between men and women; women go “I’m tired of always being looked at” unless they deliberately present themselves as plain as possible, while most men are like “Please look at me! I’m not invisible!” I wish more people on both sides understood this.
