That was like the first one in the series, actually. Back when I think we naively assumed this groan-inducing gimmick would only last a week.

Good thing the dialogue explains why they can't climb out because the art certainly isn't making it clear at all.

I saw it has some resize options that could be useful, and I was thinking of setting them to the largest size you're allowed to post. However, it looks to me like the forum rules haven't been updated since 2006, and the official word is you shouldn't post images larger than 800x600 pixels. Almost every comic in this thread breaks one if not both of those dimensions. Is there some unofficial rule, guideline or recommendation regarding file size I should abide by? Or should I just post everything in timg tags?
I don't think there's an official thing, but imgur's "huge" image size is about 1000px wide and doesn't seem to bother anyone so I'd go with that.

And now, introducing Dark Side of the Horse

wikipedia posted:

Dark Side of the Horse (Finnish: Musta hevonen, "the black horse") is a Finnish comic strip, written and drawn by the comics artist Samson (Samuli Lintula). The strip features the horses Horace (Heikki, a steed) and Melody (Helka, a mare), and the bird Sine (Sini). In North America, the strip is syndicated by the Royal Comics Syndicate.
I got to know this strip when it appeared in one of the free newspapers that was dumped through my mailslot once a week. At first I thouhgt it fell flat, but it does some clever things with the comic format once in a while.

This is the fourth or fifth time James Allen has copy-pasted that face in the second panel. I can't decide whether to be irritated at the laziness or grateful he isn't attempting to draw something beyond weird, tiny hands. What I'm subtly hinting at is that James Allen is bad. I don't like James Allen. He's a poor artist. By this point I have started to yell

Yeah, I had some high hopes for him back when boats were exploding and everything was fun, but this entire arc he's seemingly gone out of his way to demonstrate his myriad artistic deficiencies. That this is somehow even more boring than the average Jackelrod plot line isn't helping, either.
