I hate to even ask this, but Kevin and Kell always makes a huge deal about hybrids, and I don't think you ever see an adult who's part elk and part penguin or whatever. Were species only having kids with themselves before the protagonists casually broke barriers and started making magic babies?

Slammy posted:And He Did! (January 20, 1918) I bought some Limburger cheese a few months back; it was on clearance at the supermarket (Because it was rapidly approaching its "best by" date, meaning it was extremely potent.) After 3 decades of stereotyping from Looney Tunes and the like I braced myself for the worst. I was shocked to discover that the cheese actually has a very mild flavor; creamy and kind of grassy with only a little funkiness on the finish. The smell, however, is no exaggeration. Dear lord, it is a pungent thing.

Bruceski posted:Staring behind you... I particularly like these two: The first one for how Addams renders the ferryman in this blurred style that contrasts with the clear linework in the rest of the cartoon and makes him feel like not quite part of the world. I can very easily see, say, Mother Goose & Grimm doing the exact same joke and just drawing a cloaked skeleton in the regular style. The second one because it actually portrays an issue that's hitting museums these days (probably has been for a while): indigenous people registering strong complaints that objects the museums display purely as interesting objects from another culture actually hold very strong spiritual significance for these cultures and more likely than not have been stolen by colonialists back in the day. That really would make a great gangtag. Probably was the 1950s equivalent of a neckbearded gamer type.

Surgeon's Tales  Maria is one of the Larssons, the family who have made some appearances earlier in the story, although the comic cut out many of them. Her father owned the Perttilä farm that was given to their family when Kustaa Bertelsköld's father disowned him in the end of the first book. Six of her brothers were killed during that scouting mission that was posted in October. The book had a short scene where their father felt that Bertelsköld was responsible for that (they were volunteering, but he set up the mission). Nancy  Dustin  Mandrake

catlord posted:Axa Holy hell, Axa is so bad at being a protagonist. She bumbles around and has to get bailed out time after time. She takes doesn't really provide a decent argument against the dome's terrible gender politics. She also did absolutely nothing in helping to resolve things, especially since the Controller just shrugged and said the men and women can go if they wanted to. Axa also acts as if sending these people to the other dome is a good thing because they'll have the freedom to love each other there, when the dome does absolutely nothing of the sort. Also that whole merman thing went absolutely nowhere.

I am curious as to how many get this, since it does involve having to know the unofficial motto of the Canadian Mounties (no, not 'Lets take all First Nation people on starlight tours'), and that ain't common in Europe.

I could be giving it a wildly generous interpretation but I sort of feel the "those were the days" comics are being knowingly flip on both ends. Like the dad in the first one says "they've only been dating for 8 years!!" which feels like a humorous exaggeration of how things used to be. But also as others have said the art does rule.

Well, this certainly took a turn to being extremely stupid. Now I'm wondering if the 'aliens' are really just the Birdlluminati in disguise, since it'd make no sense for aliens to be concerned about Earth and want Fiona to fix the Y2K bug.

The transherbivore guy and his sheep wife are confirmed infertile and adoption is quite common in the worldbuilding. At least four characters that I can think of. I'd like to think hybrids tending to be infertile is coherent worldbuilding based on real life biology but I know that in reality this is probably just a coincidence and that if it ever comes up it's going to be the dumb explanation you wrote.

I didn't understand the strip at first, but now I think it's a phantom case of men (badly) writing women. Someone up top wanted a New Twist on the old stories, and the writers complied. But they had no idea (or didn't care enough) to write how a woman with agency would actually act, so they default to what they knew; her a) making generic/useless comments/exclamations and b) getting her tits out. Like, you can practically draw in the Strong Manly Character she's supposed to be armcandy/Gal Friday for, but since he isn't there, the whole strip feels janky. (If you shopped in a sexy lamp, would the comic make more or less sense?)
