Johnny Walker posted:Rex Morgan MD Anyone else instinctively read that in Crypt-Keeper voice? E: I just looked up some clips and wow, that puppet had a lot more expression than I remembered. There's an art to that sort of thing, knowing how to manipulate the mask for all those little movements and having them work together. Like the mouth for example; if it was a static puppet just doing that the aimless flapping would be obvious, but you add in some jaw movement side to side, the whole head and body move to add emphasis to the script, and the mough just falls into place with everything else to become convincing.

The Rex Morgan narrator needs to get more Ella Cinders energy if we're supposed to take Buck's impending diabetic coma seriously.

So not only are the employees forced to do three Zoom meetings per day, the boss also sends Dethany to harangue the others to get in the room like they can't do it on their own. This is some absolute spite right here. Looks like I guessed more or less correctly. This whole plot really was just an excuse to tell Fiona and Rudy that they're adults and can now get married. maltesh posted:They contacted a billions of years old alien intelligence and then claimed responsibility over it and didn't ask it any relevant questions. Don't forget that they caused massive societal upheaval on Earth by telling them that Earth Mermaids have been living there all along, and then 'solved' the problem of people being wary of this civilization that's been hiding in their waters all this time by telling people that they can gently caress mermaids.

Twelve by Pies posted:Yeah I'm still having a hard time suspending my disbelief on this. Even if Mark Trail is white, he destroyed at least two boats (maybe three?) and a helicopter and I feel like the pilot of the helicopter probably did not jump out just before the explosion. How is Mark not on the run from the police right now? They know it was him, it's not like his identity was hidden. I was really enjoying nu Mark Trail up to the speedboat chase. The speedboat chase sequence was literally Looney Tunes stuff - an action sequence without much justification ending in enormous amounts of explosive property damage, for a gag, with no meaningful consequences. It's like Daffy blowing up his house, then a 3 second montage of him repairing it, then things just go on. Fine in Brewster Rocket, but very much the wrong tone for something that had been working as a fast-moving soap drama with eco-education on Sundays.

Mr. Maltose posted:I cannot wait to see more of this storyline about ~personal responsibility~ and never have them ever show something like Buck finding out his insurance has changed what insulin they cover and not tell him, again, leading to a heath crisis as he can’t fill his prescriptions or get new ones for weeks. Buck carefully rationing his meds. Buck being told to his face he’s not taking care of himself enough to get an insulin pump. Some real Diabetes problems. Yeah. Me, I was waiting for Buck to discover that his insurance covers a whole ONE test strip a day! I, uh, may have just been diagnosed with DM2 myself.

Fine in Brewster Rocket, but very much the wrong tone for something that had been working as a fast-moving soap drama with eco-education on Sundays. Yeah it's what the strip had been and what it still is trying to be that makes me unable to accept the speedboat chase. If we had a series of Pooch Cafe strips where Poncho blew up the cafe and his house and the neighbor's house, and then the next week things were back to normal, nobody would be saying "Wait what happened to Poncho blowing up all those buildings?" because it's a goofy gag strip and we're not meant to be thinking about stuff like that. But Mark Trail is a drama strip and you can't just have as someone else put it a Family Guy-esque sequence where loads of destruction happens and Mark Trial just walks off going "Wow that sure was crazy!" and never mention it again or show any consequences. It doesn't fit. And while I'm aware a couple of people have said "No just wait maybe it'll come up again" I don't have any faith in that. We've already had the "Well I blew up another speedboat" "Ha ha no wonder our insurance is so high!" gag, and Rusty making a joke about video of it, and those just downplay the severity of the situation in a way that it would be really weird to turn around and suddenly treat it as a big serious thing. I'm not saying new Mark Trail is bad or anything, and I'm totally in support of having a gag strip or two to lighten the mood since this is supposed to be a new version of him, but the speedboat chase stands out as extremely bad writing and I just can't get over it, or at least not until a new story arc happens.

Circus Windows Down the Meat Toilet From the website John Allison posted:Nighthawks at the diner. For Tackleford historians, Efe’s Kebab Shop (which previously appeared in Giant Days #49) was once Dorado’s restaurant (see Bobbins Dot Horse, early 2020), above which Ryan Beckwith lived until well into Scary Go Round. It has now been bisected into a shawarma spot and a minicab office. I know because I put the dividing wall in there myself in Sketchup.

Buni Rhymes with Orange  Get Fuzzy 2/2/01  Brenda Starr 10/28/45  Hasn't Messick already done this "Brenda goes to a fashion show and is mistaken for a model" plot already? And I'm pretty sure the designer is being played by Franklin Pangborn. Smokey Stover 5/25-27/39  I didn't notice until I posted this that Holman's version of an African is peeking out of the background in the last panel; I just glanced at it and thought it was another appearance by Spooky the cat at first. So hey, you guys get to see it after all.   And that, finally, is the end of the jungle story!
