What's the big deal? Old New York used to be New Amsterdam.

Why'd they change it?
tellumo » pro2 years ago
I certainly can't say. Perhaps people just liked it better that way.

Ahh, the quotable Lyle! The last panel could've been the whole comic, like a Family Circus (gag) and it'd still deserve a 5.
apocowarg » pro2 years ago
Family Circus is the AIDS virus of the sunday paper bloodstream.

Yes.

I think he meant sober as in personality, chums.
It's a nice play on words.
nexus » neu3 years ago
I have never known a Turk that wasn't sober in his personal life.
ralgnar » neu3 years ago
I suspect his meaning is based on the historical use of Turk as referring to a member of the Ottoman Empire, one of the major islamic kingdoms of the world from the high middle ages until just after world war one. As islamic sharia law forbids the drinking of alcohol, the empire, like many other islamic states, banned the practice, at least for the muslim majority. Hence the expression: Sober as a Turk.

the age old question... why can't i wake up sauced?
kelsotimebomb » neu2 years ago
Indeed. One that we all must face.
u235 » neu2 years ago
You're not drinking enough before you go to bed.
dracer2 » neu1 years ago
Nobody can wake up sauced. People who say "I think I'm still drunk" in the morning are just chicks who are trying to play down the fact that last night WE TOTALLY GOT DRUNK, HAD SEX.
redjoker » neu11 months ago
meh i woke up drunk more times than i can count... which isnt saying much... but still... just drink 2 or 3 bottles of vodka and you cant possibly sleep long enough to get sober...
ashbery » neu1 months ago
Yeah, untrue. Waking up drunk is just like waking up hungover, but with more drinking.
Enjoy these, your salad days.
danjoebak » pro3 years ago
Now this is one of my classics. More of Lyle's alcoholic take on life would be nice.
f1shst1ck » neu3 years ago
Are turks known specifically for their sober tendencies?
mashuren » pro3 years ago
What's up with that clock? Is it some sort of 24-hour clock without a minute hand? If that's the case, then it's wrong.
That clock confuses me.
silver_lake » neu3 years ago
The significant hand of the clock is pointing to the 7-hour.
tellumo » pro2 years ago
I think it's exactly 7:37 or sometime around then, so the minute and hour hand are right over each other.
epicurus » pro3 years ago
I have thought this on at least three occasions and I think this is marketable.
tinhand » neu3 years ago
Excellent There Might Be Giants reference there fellows.
Personally, I long to live such a lifestyle where the only responsibilities and problems seem to be related to getting drunk. He has no bills to pay, prison-time to serve or jobs to hunt for, apparently. Does he even pay for his gin? Only Onstad knows.
Then again it's an early strip. I recall Lyle looking for a job in a later strip.
spectre » neu3 years ago
Lyle's blog is almost all about work and getting money one way or another.
hawaiian_robot » neu1 years ago
And getting fired from various hospitality jobs, or starring in gonzo videos, or fucking post-op trannies.
philosophe » pro3 years ago
I have woken up still buzzed from the night before, drank a few cold ones, fell back asleep, and then woken up drunk. It's pretty good. I've also woken up early, dropped a couple acid tabs, set my alarm for 2 hours later, and woke up tripping. THAT was interesting.
tellumo » pro2 years ago
I know the "excellent icon-comment synergy, dude" comment is hella overplayed, but dude, excellent icon-comment synergy.

This is how I feel most days.
greymantledwolf » pro3 years ago
my daily lament.
hyetal » pro2 years ago
Seven AM and sober as a Turk; ten AM and drunk as a lord. What happens at one?
molesticide » neu2 years ago
you are not afraid of the motherfucking police.
jlynes » neu2 years ago
One PM, out like a light.
zebra » neu2 years ago
This was my first strip and the reason I like Lyle so much.
snowman » neu2 years ago
Classic. I love that I actually feel sorry for Lyle's predicament here. Masterful.

Simple solution, get an IV and fill it with Jack. Sorted

My head-of-department is a Turk, and is responsible for the dry campus with which I have struggled.

Replace "gin" with "lasagna" to make an odd but basically typical Garfield strip

A shoe is an item of cscs exam footwear evolved at first to protect the human foot and later, additionally, as an item of decoration in itself. The foot contains more bones than any other single part of the body, and has evolved over hundreds of thousands of years in relation to vastly varied terrain and climatic conditions. Together with the proprioceptive system, it is cset exam what makes balance and ambulation possible.
Until recent years, shoes were not fcat exam worn by most of the world's population%u2014largely because they could not afford them. Only with the advent of mass production, making available for the first time the cheap flip-flop-type sandal, for example, has shoe-wearing ftce exam become predominant.
