As for this comic...

The attendant’s wife doesn’t approve.
Her name is Edith.
All yokel wives are named Edith.
Or Ethel, my grandma, born and raised in WVA was an Ethel.
When I hear/read “Ethel”, I immediately think of “I Love Lucy”. She was a “city girl” though.
When I hear/read “Edith”, I immediately think of “All in the Family”. Edith was the real star of that show, but Archie is the epitome of “Urban Hick”. In other words, perfect for the City of Hamilton… lol
(When I was a tyke, I used to think that “All in the Family” was filmed and located in Hamilton. If you think about it, the similarities to North and East Hamilton are stunning. Especially if you consider the Polish emigree population near Barton and Sherman, where a pretty Anglo girl can fall in love with a tall Polish boy and cause friction with her “Urban Hick” dad…)
Hamilton is a perfect distillation of the American Midwest rust belt experience … only bafflingly located in Canada. So yeah, that checks out. Archie Bunker could totally come from Hamilton.
I hated ‘All in the family’ (still do).
The liberals must have loved it.
It showcased Archie’s stupidity and idiocy and made it seem like his conservative values were a result of his stupidity, idiocy, and extreme bigotry.
I hold the same conservative values of patriotism and individualism, but I hated his racism, sexism, and all those other extreme ideals Archie had (still hate them).
I am not a big fan of homosexuality, lesbianism, trans-gender, or all that other stuff.
I can and will tolerate people who hold them (as long as they don’t try to push them on me), but I do NOT tolerate racism, sexism (except the one and only NATURAL application), and the extreme bigotry Archie exhibited.
You can’t have your cake and Edith too. I had to say it.
You deserve a medal.
You also can’t have your Kate and Edith too.
One of them will dump you, and possibly both.
Lol. Where is this place called Hamilton, Ontario, Canada? Is it the Los Vegas of the north? Only hot and bothersome half of the year instead of year round?
Winters? Pah! No winters here!
This week, Hamilton, Ontario is hotter than Las Vegas, Nevada.
And if you count the “humidex”, it’s hotter than Death Valley.
I hate this country for that. It’s only comfortable for two months out of the year. I recently watched a video by a Nigerian guy who moved to Alberta, and he was cautioning people who are thinking of moving to Canada about the summer’s intense heat. He says people are constantly ribbing him when he complains, saying to him, “You’re from Africa! You should be used to the heat!” And he responds, “No, I’m used to warm weather. I’m not used to … whatever this nightmare is.”
We had a woman from South Africa working with differently abled people ofcvsrying degrees lamanting how cold it was in winter. One one of our outings we watched a video of a group of Canadians planted a a Canadian flag at the noth pole as a thumb in the eye to the Russians. Reportedly it was -60° with winds getting up to 80 kph and higher. Asked after that if she still thought it was cold.
All relative, I guess.
I think that’s cold.
-60°C= -76°F
80 km/h= 50 mph or 43 kn.
I had to show off. Sorry.
With tge windchill calclsted it is was equilrvrnt yo about -95° Celsius
“With the windchill calculated it is was equilent to about -95° Celsius”
that equals -140°F. That’s some chill wind, bro.
Florida prepared me for living in Canada.
Yeah, that’d do it. A friend in college was from Oregon but originally hailed from Missouri. Upon stepping off the plane in Ontario for the first time (in the middle of the summer), his reaction was, “Oh, so I’m basically back in the South again.”

And then: January
Our country has no end of ways to make you miserable.
“Our country has no end of ways to make you miserable.”
That’s most places, I think. The harmonics may differ, but it still rhymes.
What’s the regional equivalent of “all hat and no cattle”? or “all barrel and no beer?”
I hate it when I stop to ask for directions only to find out my destination is only one block over.
Better than pulling over to ask for directions and finding you’re seven hours away and you’ve been going the wrong direction.
So long as Colin can have his cake and eat it, too.
Uh, he can’t.
Not that cake anyway.
It’s even worse if you replace “cake” with “pie”, amirite?
“All meringue and no pie” doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue either.
A buddy’s fiancee once made us a “delicacy” for dessert once. It was a store-bought cherry pie suspended in a cake pan filled with chocolate cake batter, and then baked.
It was dubbed “Piecaken” – after the great American South invention of “Turducken”…
“…four of fish and finger pies in summer, meanwhile back…”
Admittedly, someplace creepy in the middle of nowhere would be an apropos venue for a Scooby Doo convention.
Exactly. Thematically appropriate!
Only if they will engage in actually scoobian hijinks. Which as we all know, won’t happen here.
Actual Scoobian Hijinks. Sounds good.
request: someone riding an electric motorcycle/bike cosplaying as a dog. band providing background music optional.
I think the new Scooby Gang are soon to learn an important lesson regarding the phenomenon of unreliable narrators and the hidden agenda of rural populations and the proper treatment of sinful city dwellers.

You’re telling me this guy doesn’t look reliable?
I’m saying I live in the rural countryside with few neighbors and I’ve seen quite a few rural, desert, and Aussie Outback movie, so I know that fella and, yes, my Scooby sense is tingling…
That only happens in the presence of Scooby-Snax or if Spike is evil again.
Phoebe FTW! 🙂
“We’d have made it to the Scooby Convention too, if it wasn’t for those meddling kids.”
“What meddling kids? You and your bargain GPS got us lost, doofus.”
“Ruh, roh.”
(Well, someone had to say it)
I see the chap you hire to write the subtitles felt a little rushed this week.
Is he saying Hamilton or Toronto is sinful? Either way, I find it hard to credit. Must be relative. Like the temperature.
Poor Phoebe. I’m not saying he’s WRONG, just poor Phoebe.
This comic has subtitles?
And Phoebe is heartbreakingly overjoyed to be right.
I know. Poor thing. Now they’ll never get her out of that costume.
Next chalenge, getting the van back together.
Puck has freckles, so Puck FTW. 🙂
In re new voting incentive:
“Puck is not really bad, she’s just drawn that way” … is wrong on both counts 😉
Indeed. Appreciated.
When I saw there a bew Puck pic I immediately thought it been Canada Day based
Nah, no one likes Canada Day.
Jessica Puck votey, my only thought is hawt 🙂
Va va voom, as it were.
Awooga, even.
hahaha I chuckled at this 🙂
Satan?
Reception?
On his mobile phone?
Out there in the boonies?
Not a chance…
Can’t get a signal on his vintage Motorola.
Ok, how can that be permissible?
Is Canada day even celebrated?
I am an American living in Quebec, so I am not sure.
The Quebecois are kinda anti-Canadian at times.
Kinda? Not really? Quebec is an area where you can get beat up for just talking about Canada Day. And as for the rest of Canada, it’s a muted celebration compared to our neighbours down south. In my area the big fireworks celebration is Victoria Day (around May 24th) so we never do anything on Canada Day. Some families let off sad fireworks of their own. Ottawa always has a big party. Most Canadians do nothing, though.
I miss importing illegal fireworks into Florida for the 4th of July.
