curtadams posted:It's even better if you've read the webcomic, because Rae being hyperinsecure is one of the running gags, e.g. This is far better than the entire print run of Rae the Doe we've seen so far and I'm really baffled how the writing can feel so different with the exact same art style and character voices. It's like the author is just making their own bad fanfiction.

Part of the fun of doing a flashback is getting to draw your characters looking slightly different and I'm disappointed at the lack of enthusiasm But June has a ponytail kazz posted:It drives me wild how their two infant children are clearly the farthest thing from their minds at all times.

I think he’d look even more like Tracy if Holbrook has more detail on that coat beyond “yellow body tube.”

Dykes to Watch Out For #88 (1990) -Alison Bechdel (NSFW for nudity and sex:)  I find Toni and Clarice's duck lamp to be extraordinarily sinister in this strip, and I also like that despite the Mo and Harriett panels clearly intending to show a fading and fracturing relationship, they include some really real and earthy details. Harriett pointing out Mo's pimple is a really funny bit and perfectly placed-- right in the center of the nine-panel square grid that dominates the page. Obviously this lands differently in editions that don't offer the strips as one page each, but here in the Essential I think it's just perfect.

How Wonderful! posted:Dykes to Watch Out For #88 (1990) Toni and Clarice's good sex sequence is quite convincing in a medium that's not good for conveying that kind of thing. Bechdel uses much heavier and more complex shading than she usually does (note the shading around to Clarice's back in panel 3 and the directional changes in the shading on Clarice in panel 1 and Toni in panel 3). It's not Michelangelo, for sure, but the contrast with her usual flattish shading or even non-shading gives those panels a voluptuous feel.

I have to agree with Madi. It looks to me like Saul doesn't understand that Madi losing her grandmother is messing her up a lot, dismissed that as her acting up, and is now dumping her on Mary so he wouldn't have to deal with her. And Mary continues to sound condescending. "You seem angry", jfc. The lack of self-awareness from Batiuk is disgusting. He probably thinks he's being self-depreciating by having Les say he's going ruin the movie, but we already know that Les was the one to ruin the first attempt at the Cancerwife movie. Green Intern posted:This is the worst depiction of Dick Tracy I've ever seen. Look, this version of Tracy isn't the worst because he's not killing criminals. Yet. But this is Holbrook, so it's going to be something incredibly stupid like Dick Tracy shooting a gun into the internet to kill viruses or some poo poo.

Hi! I've been lurking the thread for several years now. Recently I ran into two Finnish comic/cartoon albums and thought it could be interesting to post them here. So here we go: B. Virtanen   B. Virtanen is a long-running comic strip created by Ilkka Heilä. Apparently the strip started in 1991. It tells about the life of the titular B. Virtanen (with Virtanen being a very generic, "boring" Finnish surname and B being a reference to a somewhat common way of referring good, productive employees/businesspeople as belonging in "class A", and failures or mediocre employees belonging in "class B".) The strip is very heavily built around Virtanen's job at Oy Firma Ab (essentially "Company Ltd") and how much his work there sucks. Many strips also deal with Virtanen's family life, which also sucks. I don't think I've ever read a comic strip that so relentlessly punches down on the protagonist and portrays their life as unending suffering, while also showcasing lots of really unpleasant cliches (this guy is a loser who hates his marriage! His wife is portrayed as a muscular person who threatens him! That kinda stuff.) I'll be posting this until I run out, but I'll stop if people find it too uninteresting or unpleasant. ANSU    Antero "Ansu" Halla drew a lot of small comics & cartoons for various Finnish magazines, starting from 1964 and lasting until at least the end of the 70s, although I'm not sure about the exact history here. The cartoons were also exhibited in multiple art exhibitions, and this particular album has received art awards. If you like the Man in Black or the Horse in Black, you'll probably appreciate the absurd visual humour of these; I'm a huge fan. I guess somehow Finnish cartoonists have a tendency for this kind of stuff? Hempuli fucked around with this message at 08:49 on Jul 21, 2020 |

That can't be the worst Dick Tracy becuase he isn't going on about Little Orphan Annie or Lum and Abner.

Farley dies saving April from drowning in a river Reportedly, after hearing where the story was going, Charles Shulz sent Lynn a letter threatening to kill Snoopy the very next week if she went through with it, and Lynn was basically like "Do it, old man." This is the only cool thing Lynn has ever done.
