June 1, 1922 Home, Sweet Home by Harry J. Tuthill: "When George Describes His Friends, You Sympathize with Their Wives"

Hey, remember when I introduced this sometime last month with a promise of extra comics I didn't originally clip? Turns out I forgot about that. Anyway, here once again (and actually here for good now) is Home, Sweet Home, the comic that would eventually become The Bungle Family. Have fun with century-old interpersonal gossip/jokes about domestic abuse!

[ID: George Bungle, a tall thin fellow with glasses, slicked-back hair and a mustache, walks into his house and takes off his fedora. His wife, Jo, a younger-looking woman with her dark hair up in a bun, looks at him. /end] George: I saw Beverly Highfoot to-day. He's bought a moving van. Every time his wife's people finds out where he lives, he moves. Smart guy, eh? Jo: He may be smart, but no one who ever SAW him would suspect it.

[ID: Jo stands impassively with her hands behind her back. George stands in the open bathroom doorway, rolling his shirtsleeves up. /end] Jo: I didn't believe a man could be as silly as he looked until I heard him talk. George: You mean the way he joked about matrimony? Well, that baby has got reason for going pessimistic. He's been married three times.

[ID: George stands by the bathroom sink, his hands at his side in a sort of shrug. His right hand reaches for the faucet. /end] George: He claims he can't get along with women because he hasn't got a quarrelsome disposition. Jo: Ha! Ha! Do you suppose that marriage is serious to a man like that?

[ID: George stands in the bathroom doorway, drying his wet hands on a hand towel. Jo turns away from him in surprise. /end] George: Serious? My word! A coupla times, it came near being FATAL to him.

I like how Go's eyes are animated when scorbunny evolves. His eyes were also like this during the bulbasaur episode too. I just like the little animation in his eyes

They put so much effort into showing how amazed, shocked and impressed he was at Hibunny evolving, he clearly loves him so much, he’s just so akward with social cues and all ;V; Gosh it hurt to not see Rabbifoot not highfoot Gou…

Cough but yes, that animation bit was beautiful. And showcases what I said. Man I’m quite excited for what’s to come!

Not to get confused by smoke tests used in software testing, the smoke tests I'm talking about is the technique discussed in lean startup to validate a startup idea before developing the product.Do you think they are useful for validating startup ideas? Useful for determining demand from potential users, getting to know who they are? What are the mis-understandings that a smoke test can present? Can the metrics be mis-leading? What problems can we face when utilising a smoke test?I'm promoting by emailing a large group of people as well as advertising in a highfoot fall venue.The metrics I'm tracking are:Landing Page -> Installs -> Early adopter SignupsMost important metric for me is the percentage of people who read the value proposition on the landing page and decide to install the app. The landing page does not mention that the app is not ready yet, so the user thinks they'll actually download the app if they click the button. The button redirects to a page which says 'we'll be ready soon, please signup to get notified and become our early adopters'. I'm not putting too much importance on the early adopter signup conversion.My threshold of determining whether the idea is worth working on was 20% - 20% of people who visit the landing page end up downloading the app. Till now, the install conversions is hovering at 36%. Do you think this number is a good indicator of user interest? Can it be misleading in any way?
