C'est la Vie by Jennifer Babcock for December 21, 2024

It’s Morbin’ time for Mona.

Just be careful who you firkytoodle with or you might end up with more than the morbs.

[nerd alert] “The Difference Engine” by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. Alternate world science fiction where Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage actually built computers in their lifetimes. The novel pretty much invented ‘steam punk’

‘’Morbs?’’ Don’t they make an ointment for that?

If I hear this one more time, I’m gonna get the vapors.

I used to go snogging Victoria when she got the morbs.

Strewth!

What is the point of verbal abbreviation imitating a text abbreviation when the verbal abbreviation is as long to say as the unabbreviated version. For example, the last panel: “No cap, frfr” is the same amout of effort as to say, “No lie, for real for real”. Is it to obscure what one says from the understanding of non-members of one’s group/generation? Get off my lawn, you kids!

‘Got the morbs’ is totes adorbs!

“Good morning, morbs. Morbs, how do you do.” Is that from morbid?
