Johnny Aztec posted:Oh yes, two 20-something women living together in an apartment with no obvious male attachments, They MUST be loving. I first started reading the comic right around the start of the arc about Boss' big date, and I thought part of the humour was that Jill and Ingrid were together. It's pretty obvious near the end that Jill has feelings for Ingrid that she hasn't confessed from the way she acts during the date and afterward. But no, yeah, it's probably we're just ship-happy tumblrites unable to stop pairing everyone together. Mike du Jour x Picasso is my OTP, what's yours?

Five pages in and all we have are Mike du Jour edits? Philistines! Mike Du Jour Mike du Jour is the rare triple entendre: the main character's name, the artist's own name and an honest description of the strip. "Like the freedom of a chef designing a menu every day based on what's fresh, MDJ is whatever fresh idea I can cook up," he says. Mike (the character) is an autobiographical composite. He's "a combination of Walter Mitty, Buster Keaton and moi. He's single, a bit of a loner and a situational counter-puncher, heavyweight division". Mike works in a generic office environment known as Big Bottom Line Inc., and since he and his co-workers don't have enough problems, they invent them. "Office work is boring," says Lester, "or so they tell me." From the artist himself: "Put a kid in a room alone with nothing but pencils, paper, his own imagination and you get me. By normal standards I should be an anti-social home pest exterminator by day and WWF fan by night. But I'm not. I'm a cartoonist and for two reasons: I could not hit the curve but I could hit a nerve. I am classically trained to be able to find the classical station when I need to. Beyond that, I've been making it up since I was in that room alone. Truth is, God was in there with me just like he is today and we've managed to knock out some pretty decent work in a number of different areas working with some incredibly talented people and for some great clients. There are more wooden plaques on the wall than I ever imagined. All of them spelled my name right and frankly, I deserve them." Mike Lester is also an award-winning editorial cartoonist (syndicated by the Washington Post Writers Group) and commercial artist. 2000 National Cartoonist Society: Best Book Illustration 2004 National Cartoonist Society: Best Advertising Illustration 2006 National Cartoonist Society: Best Book Illustration 2008 National Cartoonist Society: Best Book Illustration 2010 National Cartoonist Society: Best Book Illustration 2003 Georgia Press Association Designer of the Year 2007 and 2010 recipient Sigma Delta Chi Award for editorial cartoons given by the Society of Professional Journalists. 2009 Reuben Award from the National Cartoonists Society for work on the children's book Cool Daddy Rat. He also authored and illustrated "A is for Salad" a New York Times best-seller.

Marmaduke Circa 1968 Marmaduke is a giant hound from hell that when he appeared in 1954 was a terror to everyone including his "owners". The years have not been kind to this demon dog and as time passes his overwhelming evil becomes ever more blunted and the strip is doomed to the realm of a zombie-comic about dorgs (and in the most milquetoast way possible). The 1968 era Marmaduke still has moments of diabolical evil, but more and more it is simply a comic about a big dumb dog.  meh.  meh.  There's the old killer canine!

Monty Monty is an American comic strip created, written and illustrated by cartoonist Jim Meddick. Monty spoofs suburbia, trashes tacky TV shows and offers absurdest commentary on everything from hosing down spider monkeys to the latest conspiracy theory. Monty Montahue, the brainy, bumbling bachelor who's unlucky in work and love, is the star of the strip.

 Pooch Café is a comic strip about an allen key-shaped dog who is just a real rear end in a top hat. What a super dick this dog is, you don't even know. He is mean:  He is dumb:  He is greedy:  He is Poncho. The thread first met him during Poncho: Year One, a retcon-filled look at his origin story. And I do mean origin. The first week of strips takes place in utero.  Ballard Street is a daily strip that offers glimpses into the lives of the insane people that live on a quiet suburban street. In practice, it reads like a man having a new yorker caption contest with himself and losing.  Natalie is in a loveless relationship.  Earl is a patriot.  Donald is OG.

I'm really enjoying how everyone in the current Phantom story immediately realizes what's going on, and he still thinks he's pulling the caper of ages. First thing the reporter thought of was that he poisoned her and now she's like "yeah that was pretty stupid of me" and Phantom himself probably just thought "ugh this rear end in a top hat again, I did not have the time for this today." Even that Bandar with the bow is probably thinking "yeah whatever Rick, last time I even lent you the cab fare back to town, never gonna see that again am I."

Fok_it There's a lot of onomatopoeic words in Finnish. For some reason, the language just easily affords them - to the point that you could pretty much make up words of your own and the chances are you'd still get understood. They can be problematic to translate, especially when the local words for shivering, shuddering, fluttering and whatnot can also be interpreted as various kinds of intuition or foreboding. So I ignored it and went for a lame Facebook pun instead.

Moomin and the Martians Moominmamma.  So thread, more help required: I've got access to the first 3 collections, meaning that I have the stories: 1 - Moomin and the Brigands 2 - Moomin and Family Life 3 - Moomin on the Riviera 4 - Moomin's Desert Island 5 - Moomin's Winter Follies 6 - Moomin Mamma's Maid 7 - Moomin Builds a House 8 - Moomin Begins a New Life 9 - Moomin Falls in Love 10 - Moominvalley Turns Jungle 11 - Moomin and the Martians 12 - Moomin and the Sea 13 - Club Life in Moominvalley. Bold are ones I'm sure have been posted, Italic ones I'm not sure. ( For example, I think my avatar game from 6 - Moomin Mamma's Maid, but I'm not sure. ) I also think Moomin and the Sea's been posted, with the ghost, and Moominpapa trying to be a writer. " No writer should be encumbered by such trivia as practical detail" I'd appreciate some help in nailing down which have been posted, and which haven't, yet.

Der Shovel posted:Fingerpori is a daily comic strip from Finland which I originally started posting here some four years ago because the strips often featured characters like Spider-Man and The Phantom, both of which the thread had previously enjoyed. It turned out that the thread equally enjoyed the comic's weird pun-based humour and unique Finnishness. Classics like Viperless Milk (sadly lost to me, does anyone else still have a copy?) are still remembered to this day.  "Ugh, what a price!" Back home: Jarla really nailed the atmosphere of the setting somehow. I read an article about the strip's history a little while ago and Jarla himself described the Fingerpori as an "East German Duckburg". It resonates so well in the public consciousness because post-war pre-80s Finland was closer to being an agrarian Soviet satellite than we'd like to admit. He also owns at drawing badly (Gary Larson is still the world champion, I think) and his reliance on crude, offensive puns & knock-knock jokes really takes the piss out of the whole concept of newspaper funnies. Jarla has been celebrated for his contributions to the field of terrible jokes.

The single funniest Fingerpori, even more than the viperless milk or the cavalcade of train jokes, is the strip that reveals that the Phantom's chair is the lair of a tinier mouse Phantom.

I hope this is the lead-in to another story where the Phantom relentlessly owns some schmuck for a couple of weeks. Normally that sort of thing is boring, but for some reason the Phantom team is actually really good at those.

Charles Addams did comics for the New Yorker from the 30's to the 70's. He mixes horror and comedy very brilliantly, and some recurring characters in a creepy family were eventually made into the famous Addams Family. I'm posting panels sporadically in no particular order, from the collection My Crowd. I'm not really adept at scanning and resizing, so be sure to click through for the bigger, cleaner images. (Also, I plan on rescanning some I've already done when I get the chance)
