Big ol' catchup reactions post, sorry.CommaToes posted:Comic Strip Thread 2020: I hope Lisa comes out of this ok. To be serious I appreciate these looks back and thoughtful commentary. They are a good demonstration of the value of reading even the worst of comics. Yes, even that one. Haifisch posted:Dick Tracy According to the Tracy wiki (which is astoundingly up to date), there are multiple hints in the comic that Bates is the brother of Oswald Cobblepot. Manuel Calavera posted:Compu-Toon ...what? How Wonderful! posted:Different Daughters is the title of two different books, one about the very important early lesbian organization, the Daughters of Bilitis, but that wasn't published in 1989. Bechdel might be referencing Different Daughters: A Book By Mothers of Lesbians, which would certainly be more thematically appropriate. It's the latter; the illustration in the comic matches the old cover: https://www.abebooks.com/9780939416134/Different-Daughters-Book-Mothers-Lesbians-0939416131/plp Vargo posted:I think I'm going to give Heart one more week to pick up before I drop it. I didn't like Heart Classix and I'm not loving nu-Heart. I'm sure it will be very important for some tween eventually, but I am not a tween and there's not much here for me. Aww, but we're all tweens at heart FrumpleOrz posted:Ella Cinders I just...really like this comic and character.

Surgeon's Tales  I love that bear. Nancy    So, I've finally reached the point where I'm posting the same classic Nancys as I did 2½ years ago. I'll drop it so there's a spot for anyone with an access to more Bushmiller stuff to start posting "new" classics.Dustin  Mandrake  Man in Black

I've seen folks on SonofStuckFunky mention how Lisa ends up becoming sanctimonious towards her friends. I can kind of see hints of it, so I wonder how much worse it's going to get.FrumpleOrz posted:On The Fastrack Whenever I see Dethany both on Fastrack and Safe Havens, I get a little pissed because that's way more of Dethany that I could stomach seeing.

Part five. So. Back in the April comics I skipped multiple weeks of what I thought were irrelevant comics about a pair of teenagers. She found his picture album and discovered he was adopted, she pressured him into trying to find his birth parents despite him saying he loves his adopted parents. Ugh looking through them now it's frustrating because he's all "i'll think about it" and she finds the forms for him and gives them to him at school and pressures him into doing it. Then he checks his mailbox literally every day until -  So we drop it and do unrelated things for a while. Until.... Funky Winkerbean - July 17-18, 22-26, 28-29. Skipping a few because the author dragged out the dramatic pacing as much as possible and no thanks.          dun dun DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

We've been talking so much about Saint Lisa, but isn't there a moment in the future where Les gets a phone call from his dead wife telling him not to get on a plane, which then crashes, or something like that? I swear I'm not making this up. I think.

Yeah it happened and it's also never brought up again I think in favor of a much more boring plot of "les consistently failing to reach the final stage of grief"

Okay, folks. From here (July) until October, there are only two week-long breaks from cancerwife. I will be skipping both, as they don't seem interesting. Strap yourselves in for unlimited cancer until the very end. I'm planning to stop posting Funky Winkerbean after that, as this was specifically to check out the cancer story, and while the art in this comic is genuinely amazing, the everything else in it just isn't worth it.

StrixNebulosa posted:Part five. I'd like to point out the implausible part of the adoption subplot. Lisa gave birth and gave the child up to be adopted anonymously. Her husband, creepy Les Moore, works at the local high school. Both the principal of the school, Fred Fairgood, and his wife Anne also work there. Fred and Anne adopted a son. Lisa and Les know this, and they also know when young Darrin Fairgood's birthday is. This is all explicitly stated elsewhere in the strip. And they never even suspect the truth.

Mämmilä Here we meet Heimo Suominen, the county building official responsible of Mämmilä's public works. He is a major character in the series. Last time we touched upon the Finnish civil war, today we talk about one of its legacies. Muilutus was an act of kidnapping communists or leftists in general, transporting them out of town, often near or even over the Russian border, and leaving them there. These "haulings" took place in the early thirties and were mostly connected to Lapua Movement, a right-wing radical, anti-communist movement. The kidnappings were usually accompanied with beatings, and three people were killed during them. We also get a dating, the vote is for the presidential election of 1978, held January 15-16. The winner was, as expected, Urho Kekkonen, who won his fourth and last term.

 Oh yes. The Weenieworld she managed while Brad was working there. She harassed Brad (sexually and just in general) to the point that TJ started working there as well to get "revenge." But please, Evanses, keep reminding us of all the ways that everybody here knows exactly what Anne Eiffel's deal is so we can continue to wonder why she's allowed to enter this establishment in the first place.

You know, you have the right to refuse service. If a customer is throwing you this much abuse you are allowed to kick them out. And what's the punchline? "Ann Eiffel, professional antagonist, is poo poo talking the owner of a restaurant", what's funny about that?

The ONLY reason Anne Eiffel, who is known to have expensive taste, comes to this teen hangout is so she can abuse Tiffany directly. Everybody who works there knows this. Really tells you how much the management of The Fuse care about their employees.
