I've never heard of Sia either. I just perused her wikipedia entry and I still think it's more likely Frank was being Warhol. I doubt Frank would know who Sia is.

It does hold up better, but I don't really consider it a parody, do I guess that's what the writers thought. (I don't necessarily consider WHAS a parody either though.)

Me too. I've never even met anyone who's seen Fear of a Black Hat, much less loved it as much as I did.

I saw Kate Beaton and Noelle Stevenson speak at Small Press Expo this year. I can attest that both of them are, indeed, The Best.

I see a lot of new Scrubs fans. I feel like a lot of 20-somethings are just now discovering it since it was released on Netflix. My FB and Tumblr newsfeeds are filled with people about a decade younger than me (I'm 37) going crazy over it. I think Scrubs ages pretty well (unlike Garden State), especially because you…

I saw the movie, and if I recall, they lived in a neighborhood with crappy public schools. And Zach Braff's dad agreed to foot the bill for private school, but only if it was Yeshiva.

I'm not really disagreeing with you that these stereotypes exist. I just don't think that's the case in Check Please. Even though Bitty has some 'feminine' qualities, there actually is a lot more to his personality than that. And Jack isn't an 'angry at gay guys leather jacket sports car guy' at all. He's an angsty…

I'm not really sure I meant it as a paean? Just as a response to the idea that there isn't a lot of representation of gay characters with stereotypical hetero interests in comics. Sure one of the gay characters is pretty stereotypically gay (and even he is still a college athlete who lives in a frat house), but the…

Right….but when is his Twitter going to become public again? I'm really anxious for that.

If it makes you feel better, Bitty isn't the only gay character. As the series goes on, it's becoming increasingly clear that one of the other teammates is gay as well. And he is not a pie-baking, self-hugging dude. He's pretty manly.

I discovered Check Please about three weeks ago. I devoured the entire archives in about two days, and have re-read it in its entirety twice since then. It's my new favorite thing and I'm thrilled to see it get mentioned on AVC.

Well this was really shitty news to wake up to.

I think a lot of people in a very specific age range were first introduced to Queen by Wayne's World. I was too.

I can't go through all 400+ comments to see if someone has already said this. But dear god, this line had me rolling:

agreed. After last week's episode when the Andrew twist was revealed, I actually said to my husband, "i hope they take care of this next week and don't drag it out over the rest of the season."

Lee Jordan was on Community. Dean Thomas is on How to Get Away with Murder.

Not really an unconventional family. In fact, they are super conventional, but I relate strongly to the Belchers on Bob's Burgers.

This show. So easy to relate to it hurts.

I was a pretty little kid (maybe eleven? twelve?) when Ice Ice Baby came out. I'd heard the music was stolen from another song, and I was curious about it. I'd heard of Queen at that point, but didn't know anything outside We Will Rock You. So my sister found a single for Under Pressure and I listened to it. That was…

Similar jawline too.
