Dilbert

Did his rear end just yell WAG! or what?

Dogbert used to do the wagging tail punchline all the time and I'm pretty sure his rear end never needed to yell WAG for the joke to be conveyed.

Is Adams getting stupider or does he think we are?

Yeah he might do something like collect all action figures possible or watch every Dr Who.

I don't even know if this would be possible with a normal shovel like that.

I picked up one of the Titan Books Modesty Blaise reprints recently. The art does look a little different on glossy paper, I think the scans here may be closer to how the strips actually read back in the day.

No one really talks about Heathcliff, but I really like it. It wasn't in the paper when I was a kid so this thread is my first exposure to it. It's just surreal enough without trying too hard.

It's All Right, Chief Dharma

...Yes, it was a dream. One that lasted over two years for all of us but less than two months for those Koreans who paid more attention to comic hub sites than I did. In that time, two hundred ninety three new comics were posted on a new website with the newest one having been published in late April. The Daily Focus archives are no longer publicly available. Finding older Dharma comics would necessitate trawling random Korean blogs. Or the Something Awful Archives for the ones I already translated.

As for me, well, the reasons I left the Something Awful forums are largely unchanged, but right to the end I did enjoy translating these. For real life reasons it just stopped being practical. Now it is again- for the moment anyway.

Hooray! I look forward to reading about the adventures of Korean Pam.

I really just want to email Francesco Marciuliano and let him know how much I am enjoying his writing and what it brings to the strip.

Like seriously, I love the way he went from the bright light into the actual scene.

As crazy as it might sound, i've actually been thinking about this comic from time to time since you stopped posting it - it really made a big impression on me, maybe because the chief is such a real guy. Also, i know korea and japan are very different, but i spent a lot of time in japan and the feel really reminds me of urban japan.
