COOKIES WILL BE INCREASED UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES
I keep looking at Mrs. Warner and thinking, dang, I used to draw her way older, but then I remember, oh, right, I aged her down a decade for Dumbing of Age.

Bathrooms with the window (un-shuttered!!) at that level freak me out
actually, it was literal DECADES before I used a bathroom that even HAD windows, still kinda freaks me out
(I guess our school and some public bathrooms had windows at the end of the stalls but I mean the toilet in view of the window)
☝ this. This is a fact.
That’s how the house I grew up in was. Window looked out at the backyard, but the toilet wasn’t visible from outside. I think I was a teen before my dad replaced the original window with a double-pane frosted glass version.
Our house has a window like that, but we put up blackout curtains over it.
But yeah, I have been in ones that didn’t have curtains (or only had the edge decorative lacy ones that conceal nothing) and I was always like “you expect me to use the toilet like that?”
Wow I totally misinterpreted that panel, I was thinking Amber was looking at it and wondering what her chances were of jumping through it and escaping. Actually, you know what? I’m sticking with it until proven otherwise.
I think its a holdover from before electricity, bathrooms nowadays usually have a fan that can be turned on with a switch to deal with the smell, but before that you needed a window
But yeah, unless you aren’t on ground level (and even then) you need blinds/shutters
Weird, I have a friend who has a brand new (built in last 5 years) townhouse, and it has bathroom windows with half(!!) a shade, but tbf idk if that was his choice or his parents’ (also it’s a second story and no other buildings in sight range but STILL AS WEIRD as the friends’ house with the bathroom skylight)
When I was a kid the bathroom had a frosted window, and the downstairs loo had a sort of arrowslit with four panes of frosted glass that pivoted for ventilation purposes. Following a house fire when I was 15, this was replaced with a marginally wider normal frosted window.
The bathroom, meanwhile was rebuilt so that the toilet wasn’t directly facing the door, which for some reason made me feel more comfortable even though the door has a lock, and if it was somehow opened while I was engaged, I’m not sure it would make much difference if I was facing it or not.
Mrs. Warner was rather cute. I mean, still is, but in the pic.
I’m going to assume Mrs. Warner is like this in every universe, unless we see an alternate universe where she’s mean sometime in the future.
And now you’ll probably never have to draw her ever again.
You monster.
I always got the impression that the Warners were desperate to please Amber so that she’d take Mike off of their hands!
“average person bakes 7.5 million cookies a year” factoid actually just statistical error; Harriet Warner, who has produced 86 billion cookies in her lifetime, is an outlier and should not have been counted.
Damn you, cookie clicker game.
Laughing way too hard at this hammerspace oven Harriet has.
I can’t show my wife this arc because she’ll want to know why I haven’t been baking cookies lately.
Is Mrs. Warner supposed to have a strong “Marge Simpson surpressing her rage” vibe?
I think they’re just supposed to be idealized postwar nuclear family parents, straight out of a black-and-white TV sitcom.
(I read this as “post–nuclear war family”)
