And we’re off to the racist! Is that the phrase? Chapter 4 begins. In my admittedly damaged memory, Chapter 4 was good. The first comics of course stand as a testament to the fact that it is not. That’s why I clarify that memory is damaged. If it doesn’t directly relate back to Perfect Strangers or Family Matters everything automatically is assigned a lower priority. My niece’s middle name? It doesn’t immediately come to mind. The brand of chips that Carl and Steve stood in front of in the episode where they ripped off Honey, I Shrunk the Kids? Bringles. It was Bringles.
If you’re wondering if we are opening with a weed conversation, no, no we are not. Should it have been? Oh, yes. It should have. These are the days when we hadn’t even had a new Ghostbusters movie in 15 years, and the internet was all pretend bullshit like this site was. There weren’t even a bunch of misogynists to connect with and crap all over the perfectly fine reboot that would happen in approximately 12 more years.
Then Harvest tried to grow facial hair and did not like the response he got. In response to that response, he went full internet and published a strip where he kicks Hitler. I know that in the modern internet it’s illegal to not be saving up to buy an NFT of Hitler if you’re white, but back then you didn’t have to hide your dislike for him.
Anyway, it’s September 19th for you. For me it is considerably earlier. On September 19th, I will be enjoying my privilege as an American to serve on a jury of someone’s peers. I will of course be using the whole thing to take offense at who they consider me to be a peer. I bet they don’t even main Daisy in Smash.
