So yes, when I was 18, I saw this comic... and it hit me all at once, its power. I clipped it, and every day, I looked at it, and I said "Okay... let me look at this here. What is this doing to me? Why is this so powerful?"

Jon Arbuckle, he sits here, legs crossed... comfortable in his home, and he reads his newspaper... The news of the world, perhaps... and then he extends his fingers lightly, delicately... he taps his fingers on an end table, and he feels for something...

What is it? It is something he needs, but it is not there.

And then he looks up, slightly cockeyed, and he thinks... His newspaper's in his lap now, and he thinks this...

Now where could my pipe be?

This... I always come to this, because I was a young man... I'm older now, and I still don't have the secrets, the answers, so this question still rings true, Jon looks up and he thinks...

Now where could my pipe be?

And then it happens... You see it, you see... it's almost like divine intervention, suddenly it is there, and it overpowers you...

A cat is smoking a pipe.

It is the man's pipe, it's Jon's pipe, but the cat... this cat, Garfield, is smoking the pipe... and from afar, and someplace near, but not clear... near but not clear... The man calls out... Jon calls out, he is shocked. "Garfield!" he shouts.

Garfield. The cat's name.

But, let's take a step back... let us examine this from all sides, all perspectives... and when I first came across this comic strip, I was at my father's house... a newspaper had arrived, and I picked it up for him, and brought it inside.

I organized its sections for him and then, yes, the comic strip section fell out from somewhere in the middle, and landed on the kitchen floor... I picked up the paper pages and saw, up somewhere near the top of this strip... just like Jon, I was wearing an aquamarine shirt.

So I thought, "Ah, interesting. I'll have to see this later." I snipped out the little comic, and held on to it... and five days later, I reexamined it... and it gripped me, I needed to find out more about this. The information I had was minimal, but enough...

An orange cat named Garfield...

Okay, that seemed to be the lynchpin of this whole operation, yes. Another clue... a signature in the bottom right corner, a man's name...

Jim Davis.

Yes, I'm on to it for sure.

So... one: Garfield, orange cat, and two: Jim Davis, the creator of this cat...

And that curiously plain man.

I did not know, at the time, that his name was Jon. This strip, you see, had no mention of this man's name, and I'd never seen it before.

But I had these clues; Jim Davis, Garfield.

And then I saw more, I spotted the tiny copyright mark in the upper left corner. Copyright 1978 to... what is this? Copyright belongs to a... PAWS Incorporated...

I use the local library and mail services to track down the information I was looking for...

Jim Davis, a cartoonist, had created a comic strip about a cat, Garfield... and a man, Jon Arbuckle. Well, from that point on, I made sure I read the Garfield comic strips, though as I read each one, as each day passed... the strips seemed to resonate with me less and less...


I sent letters to PAWS Incorporated, long letters, pages upon pages... asking if Mister Jim Davis could somehow publish just the one comic, over and over again... "It would be meditative," I wrote, "the strength of that."

Could you imagine?

But... no response... The strips lost their power, and eventually I stopped reading, but... I did not want my perceptions diluted, so I vowed to read the pipe strip over and over again... That is what I call it, "The Pipe Strip."

The Pipe Strip.

Now go watch the movie.

Why the fuck do people say season 2 is the best when season 3 blew it the fuck out of the water in every possible way? Season 2 was mediocre at best. Season 1 was literal shit.

Korra seasons 1 and 3 were better than Avatar season 2. This isn't up for debate anymore, so don't bother replying if you're retarded.

If you reply, you prove me right.

I think it was really post-Crisis, him doing stuff with the various Leagues probably broadened his worldview after really only living in Smalltown America for most of his life.

Isn't Blue Valley supposed to be some sort of rural Oregon town?

That is probably what did it. I wonder if he still holds some conservative views. I know he mentioned that Wonder Woman was about leading woman's and environmentalist marches and that just wasn't for him.

the fact that he can stand up to jack obviously means he isn't just some dude

When you use it with dark night's effect to use 1 commissioner gordon to special summon dark knight from your hand it becomes bullshit

i know there's a normal card that has flavor text that say's it has an effect but i forgot

Zod on his own would wreck every avenger.

Maybe if Thanos came to earth to look for an infinity stone, and got annoyed by Zod he might pose a threat.

>>91563495
With Thor, Vision and Hulk MAYBE.

>>91563495
Since they are the heroes of the movie, yes.
They even try to save people while fighting.

yeah lol

No, it's just the way to get /co/ to not shut up about them.

Bojack Horseman is neither though

After Ashi and Jack talk briefly they will go their seperate ways

Ashi will go on a journey to see the world with her own eyes so she can draw her own conclusions, Jack encourages her to do so.

I don't think they do, I just think they're saying that self-doubt is something all artists experience.

Because it was funny, loser.

With this particular show, it was a running gag for Oscar to always get the brunt of abuse in all aspects.

Although, I do see what you're getting at, because it is a thing in relationships, where they do the whole "who would you fuck" question, and usually when the male of the relationship responds, his female counterpart would not display any effect until later, where they physically or audibly state that they were indeed bothered with their male-mate responding at all to the question

Or, alternatively, passive-aggressively punish him by withholding affection and positive communication indefinitely. Unless that's what you meant.

You're not an adult. You're a manchild.

It's alright.

But, don't get your hopes up about any female character. They're all pretty poorly written one way or another.

not speaking from experience y'unnerstan, but i imagine an adult would be able to make up their own mind as to what to watch, yeah?
