Columbus day? Supposed to watch The Goonies, Gremlins, some Mrs. Doubtfire and little bit of Sorcerer’s Stone.
Columbus Day could also be celebrated by breaking into someone’s house and forcing them to find and bring you money. If they don’t bring enough start killing their family.
Completely off-topic: That cartoonist is continuing a tradition that goes all the way back to George Herriman near the beginning of the 20th century. He had an incredible strip called Krazy Kat, but it started out like the Tom Waits sub-strip there, under a strip he ended up abandoning.
I’m betting the cartoonist here knew about that and is continuing the tradition, which is pretty cool.
The strip is a tribute to Tony Millionare, which is also where the sub-strip comes from.
Dresden Codak used to be a wonderful webcomic with great surreal humour and some super funky layouts. Then over a decade ago the author started a long, boring and confusing storyline which is apparently still ongoing? Crazy.
Anyway, mostly everything under “One-Offs” in the archive is solid gold and highly recommended. The rest of it… don’t bother.
“Listen, I’m white. Columbus is associated with settlers and colonialism which the left unfairly demonized so poor Columbus got cancelled! Because I’m white I feel personally attacked because fox news says I should be so I’m celebrating out of spite even though I don’t really even know what I’m celebrating! Make America Genocide Again!”
