I’ll agree with everybody else’s comment: Poor Ferris! But I can’t feel too sorry for him right now, since I’m busy being stupidly happy. Until now I’ve waited for the days in which the site updates, but today I checked it early and I’ve just realised that your fridays aren’t actually MY fridays, but my thursdays =D So yay! <(^_^^_^)> v(^_^)v I’m getting the comic earlier than I thought I was until today (does that sentence even make sense? XD).
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your conntet seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Cheers
This is very unrelated to the comic but the thought came upon me when I saw Ferris’s shoes. Is it true that you don’t take your shoes off when you go into a house in the US?
Actually yes! That is the norm. However I’m from a Mexican family, so we ourselves take off our shoes like the rest of the world. All our friends however think this is very strange for some reason…
Actually, I disagree with the “rest of the world” thing. I live in Argentina, and here it’s not common to do so. Most people would actually find it rude (even offensive) if you asked them to take their shoes off at your place. At best, it’s something considered strange. Personally, I think taking them off helps to keep your house clean (less dirt and germs get in from the street), especially with carpeted floors, but I can’t implement the no shoes policy 🙁
I noticed that lately, there are more homes that take their shoes off in the US this decade compared to the early 90’s. Maybe it’s just me, but a lot of my friends back in the US took their shoes off at home, mostly because it was a place to relax.
Thank you so much for clearing it up for me! I’m from Sweden and here it’s unthinkable not to take them off. It’s also very unusual with carpeded floors (as in I’ve never seen it in a swedish home) but I think our no outdoor shoes (at parties you can bring shoes that you only wear indoors some times (mostly old ppl)) policy has it’s roots in our very cold/wet/snowy/muddy climate that brings with it very wet/muddy/snowy/muddy shoes.
Very funny and interesting to read the answers, and I never really understood the shoe-thing in the US before. 🙂
Well here I stumble across a comic from almost exactly 7 years ago.
Nice work, and I’m enjoying my journey through your archives.
Also:
Happy Thanksgiving from the future! Or to the future?
Not sure if I should be addressing the 7 year old caption, or the current reader…

I like how Ferris is all serious and then Stanley’S just being fat. XD
ferris looks so grown up and world-weary already. stan looks like a goober. i like the detail of the tennis shoes on the rug.

Years later and it’s still imprinted on him so strongly… Poor Ferris. Stan, wake up and comfort him!

Wow, the perspective in the last panel is spot on.
I’ve never commented before, but I’d like to let you know that Fishbones is one of my favourite webcomics and I look forward to every update 🙂
I just wanted to tell you that I love this webcomic <3 !
(I feel sorry for Ferris, I hate nightmares D8 ! BUT STANLEY HAHA<3)

Not necessarily. I know some families that do and some that don’t. My own family does take our shoes off, but mostly because it’s more comfortable.

Thanks, it’s a very interesting discussion!
