I have always cited this fifty-year-old strip as the last word on AI.

(Linus Van Pelt is standing on someone’s front step as a door to door salesman. A girl who may or may not be Violet sticks her head out cautiously.

GOOD MORNING, MISS... I'M SELLING A NEW ITEM FOR KITTENS, AND I…

FOR WHAT?

(The girl steps out onto the porch to see his wares.)

FOR KITTENS...THIS IS A NEW TOY I HAVE DEVELOPED… A KITTEN CAN ENTERTAIN HIMSELF FOR HOURS WITH THIS TOY...

THE TOY IS SIMPLICITY ITSELF...I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL PIECES OF SCRAP PAPER AND I HAVE CRUMPLED THEM UP...

(Linus begins enthusiastically miming a kitten playing with scrap paper balls.)

A KITTEN WILL PLAY FOR HOURS WITH A PIECE OF CRUMPLED PAPER! HE'LL BAT IT, AND HE'LL JUMP AT IT...

AND IF YOU HANG IT FROM A STRING, HE'LL HIT IT AND BOX WITH IT AND EVERYTHING!

IT'S REALLY FUN TO WATCH A KITTEN
BOUNCE AROUND...

(Linus returns to the hard sell. The girl is unimpressed.)

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY ONE?
THEY'RE ONLY FIVE CENTS APIECE..

WHY SHOULD I BUY ONE? WHY
CAN’T I JUST CRUMPLE A PIECE OF PAPER MYSELF?

(Linus stares into the middle distance for two panels. In the final panel he’s slumping his way back home with his box of paper scraps.)

ALL ALONG I'VE BEEN AFRAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS IDEA...

If you see this, reskeet with a Sentai team that is not Power Rangers or Super Sentai

The Axem Rangers from Super Mario RPG, who all resemble octopus-faced fire hydrants wielding polearm axes. The huge, ax-eared face of their battleship, the Blade, looms over them from behind.

Yes, this question is for Mr. Monster. Do you have any comment on the “Amagon Incident” of 1988 where you allegedly attacked our most decorated Marine?

You know, being 200 years old isn't always so easy, not even when you're a witch. The days go by so fast sometimes. Has it already been a week since Halloween Night? It can be hard to tell whether Halloween is over or not when you live in the heart of Halloween itself.

#WIPSnip is a thing? Here’s a double dose of vulnerability, as our main character Jack finds himself at his bully’s mercy, while the bully confesses to his online girlfriend his discomfort with his own empathy.

So I look back at the dream I just came out of and
like
WTF
It's Jack

Namazuchan:
The one you don't like?

Lazarus5150:
Yeah him
I'm right in his room
I could do something funny like put his hand in
warm water
But I had to get back
So I went back in his dream and like That sad dead dad dream was his
I'm like
This is what scares you?
No fair
That's way worse than zombies eating your brain

Namazuchan:
Are you feeling empathy now?

Lazarus5150:
Look I don't know
I felt stupid
I think all the time about hating his ass
But he's like
Oh my poor dad
He's not even thinking about me
He's got way bigger problems
Maybe I do feel bad?
I thought I had an enemy
But to him I'm just Nick from school

Happy Father’s Day to this specific dad from a 2022 Six Chix strip, presented here in its entirety

Pretty minimalist compared to the other one.

This ad features Darren Bartlett, in shades and mohawk, pitching M.C. Kids with this text:

Can't talk long, I'm playing "M.C.Kids" Way wildest game ever.
I should know. I, me, Darren Bartlett invented it.

"THAT'S M.C as in
MAJOR COOL
MEGA CHALLENGING
M.C
KIDS
Mondo
CrAzY"

As in the M.C. Kids- Mick and Mack. Two cool dudes I mind-warped into McDonaldland®, who turn the whole place upside down..... TOTALLY

Think you know McDonaldland ?
Wait 'till you meet
GNASH, GOFORIT,. PSYCHO, and the other video misfits I've unleashed.

IT’S A RADICAL NEW WORLD

IF YOU THINK YOU'RE TOO OLD FOR M.C. KIDS, HAVE YOUR MOM BUY IT FOR YOUR LITTLE BROTHER. BET JUNIOR WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN.

GOT IT? GET IT. PLAY IT. THAT'S IT. I'M OUT OF HERE.

Do you think they’d be more freaked out or less if it had still been the Doki Doki Panic version

Daughter Lina battles Catherine (Birdo) in the original Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic, as a possibly offensive humanoid Mask Gate looks on impassively.

I choose to believe Stephen Notley’s assertion: At the moment of your death, not only your own life flashes before your eyes, but everyone’s life ever. In that last terminal second, he will finally become acutely aware of how hated he is by everyone, to the end of time.
