Kennel posted:Dustin 440-449 is basically "French". Yeah sure, that works. Dustin knowing that, even Dustin being aware of the DDC enough to research and prepare the joke, shows him to be much more competent and/or motivated than I'm sure this arc will concede he is. Depending on your position you might not need to know the classification details even as an actual librarian. Gotta be frustrating to think up titles for the background books only to have them rendered illegible by the low res reproduction. I can make out Chess Tips and Home & Hearth and something that can't possibly be Kidney of Faust.

Whoa, a strip where Dustin actually succeeds at something related to employment. Did Kelley have a near death experience in which the Ghost of Comics Future told him to stop being such a shithead?

Circus Windows in which Jack's father makes his second appearance. Also note the picture of Billie Baker (from Allison's other comic Steeple) on the cover of the magazine Mildred is reading. Allison mentioned on his Patreon (and was already leaked in these threads) that he is working on a Lottie / Steeple crossover.

Kennel posted:Apparently Dustin is a member in Big Brother program. I couldn't find a first hand source, but google has some hits for that in various comments. This makes sense in terms of how he interacts with the kid, but I assume they avoid mentioning it directly because it runs against the intended theme that Dustin is some kind of worthless loser. I've always assumed they had him interact with the neighbor kid a lot to make him seem immature. Vintage Valiant (Mar. 14, 1943)

I don't think anyone wrote a proper write-up of Mr. Boop, so I'm gonna give it a shot. Mr. Boop is a webcomic originally uploaded to Twitter as a one-off, but was so popular that it kept going and got its own well-designed website because trying to read a comic on Twitter is a goddamn nightmare. The narrative is that of a slice-of-life comic of Alec Robbins, who is married to Betty Boop. He loves his wife, and she loves him. Sometimes people like Bugs Bunny are jealous of their love, and try to come between them, but their raw sexual energy can overcome any obstacle. The meta-narrative of Mr. Boop is the story of Alec Robbins, a man who lives in a world where the quality of a comic is determined neither by art nor by writing, but instead by the coolness of the protagonist. Thus, when he creates a comic about himself being married to Betty Boop, it is universally lauded as one of the greatest comics of all time. After all, what could be cooler than being married to Betty Boop? The supreme coolness of his self-insert is repeatedly emphasized by having other cool characters (Bugs Bunny, Sonic the Hedgehog) surrender to their attraction to Alec Robbins. Alec's lack of self-awareness makes it very easy for readers from a world with reading comprehension and basic literary analysis to determine which aspects of the fictionalized version are likely to be rooted in truth (erectile dysfunction, low self-esteem, working at Subway) and which are not (an orgy with Goku). His life falls apart in scandal when it is eventually revealed that Alec Robbins is not, in fact, married to Betty Boop. Because there is nothing less cool than lying about being married to someone out of your league, his comic retroactively has become trash. When fans rally to reassure Alec of their willingness to forgive him, Alec relaunches the comic as a true slice-of-life comic this time, trying to learn to find happiness in a real relationship with a real person with their own thoughts and desires. Many thread residents feel it belongs here because:

I don't remember this for sure but I can't recall any strip actually saying that. It does always seem like Dustin is just immature for hanging out with the kids  Now that Dustin is actually competent at something working at the library I assume we will never hear about this again and this plot will be all forgotten by tomorrow. Ed would not be impressed by this because the library is not a real business it's just a burden on the taxpayers. edit: i asked on another forum about Dustin being a Big Brother and got the response "it's never been official afaik either, just someone added it to wikipedia unsourced and now when you google it you get a bunch of people mentioning it on the comics sites" , for whatever that's worth you broke my grill fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Jan 11, 2021 |

I'm pretty sure that was the big goon edit that reframed Dustin as the protagonist, so it would be very funny if everyone just accepted that as canon now.
