I had a real problem as a child understanding the difference between “peas” and “peace”. Looking back, I’m surprised how long it took me to grasp the concept of context.
My only problem with this cartoon is that two weeks ago Pete didn’t know who The Eagles were. The thing is, I rearrange the orders of cartoons from the order in which they were drawn and sometimes I’ll end up with two strips near each other that should have been separated by a greater amount of time. Or, I’ll accidentally separate strips that should have been together. You aren’t really interested, are you?
Based on a buddy of mine whose wife drug him to the opera and he didn’t realize it was in English until after it was over and she told him it was. In the words of Andy Griffith, “Opera ain’t nothin’ but hollerin’, but it’s high-classed hollerin’.”
I guess it’s a handy feature for work’s sake, but it bugs me that–when I’m in my car–the stereo system will pause the music so I can answer the calls. I’d much rather just miss the calls.
I still think The Eagles should have been asked to do the final song for The Hobbit movies. If you have to ask why, you weren’t paying attention to the book or the movie.
