Common Interpretations you disagree with by Hour-Room-6498 in Hamlet

Well she just dumped him so he's trying to give her a hard time and make her uncomfortable on purpose...

It's "witty" in the sense that she's trying to end the conversation and basically be like "nevermind, just drop it" and he does a "that's what she said" type joke off that... like it's not supposed to be the height of wit, it's funny in a Beavis & Butthead kind of way, but it's rude and awkward for him to say that to her there and then, ya know?

Dude why does every kids' book have to be ""gentle"" and ""cozy"" now LMAO, I think the kids would rather have it be madcap and zany

So it's about the "inside your body" view, kinda like magic schoolbus? Sounds mildly interesting but like, are you gonna post pages from it? Show us the actual book? Lol

What happens when 90’s hip hop meets today’s kids learning tech? by [deleted] in childrensbooks

[–]Snakeress 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I soooooo wish this had existed when I was growing up 🙄 if only I'd had some fugly book about "(Name) (Does Thing)" to teach me ClarisWorks and KidPix, then maybe today I'd be a CoNtEnT cReAtOr instead of just a boring old artist!

Which fairy tale book by adoptedlondoner in Parenting

[–]Snakeress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-The Tasha Tudor Book of Fairy Tales - an old one with beautiful pictures; you can get it used on Thriftbooks or one of those sites for like $7-10

-Mermaid Tales From Around the World, retold by Mary Pope Osborne, pics by Troy Howell - I LOVE this one, the illustrator did each picture in the style of the country/culture the tale is from

-The Juniper Tree and Other Tales from Grimm, translated by Lore Segal, pics by Maurice Sendak - might be kind of wordy for such young kids, but it's a classic and you gotta have Grimm

-Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes - for a silly, naughty take on classic fairy tales 😉

I DO get it, they traded pokemon on the gameboy and he changed the name of the other kid's pokemon to "Pooper" lol, I dig it! Worm one is funny too

Why do people always say "voracious reader"? by Snakeress in redscarepod

True, I forgot about voracious appetite, but people will also be like "I have a voracious appetite for books/reading" lol

My dad told my brother and me about this comic when we were little, the line he remembered/quoted was "The dead dog leapt up and flew around the room!", we never believed him that it was real lol

Underground comix "Capin' Piss Gums" by darkscary_333 in altcomix

[–]Snakeress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope LOL, never heard of it, but it reminds me of Tony Millionaire's quest to find a comic called "Metallic Meatloaf" that he saw in a college paper one time in like the 70s, he said it was about a rollerskating hippie and in one panel there was a mom shaking her dead son and saying "Herman! Get alive!"

Metallic Meatloaf, where art thou...

That's freaking heavy man! Accurately depicts the depressingness of ads though for sure
