I remember thinking Zelda was okay on the whole, though I agree that this period sucks. However, if the politoons thread from a few years ago is any indication, goons eventually get weird horny cartoon crushes on her and defend the comic a weird amount.

It's a very specific kind of pretentiousness where it's hard to tell whether we're supposed to laugh with her for her relatable problems or laugh at her for inflicting misery for herself and others due to a generally terrible attitude and poor grasp of long-term consequences. It's kind of like Girls if that helps. Cheer Up Boss Dharma     Darn. Went and doxxed myself.

Tiggum posted:While any person with even a basic understanding of subtext would most likely come to that conclusion, we're dealing with Bill Holbrook here. He. does. not. understand. subtext. They are animals who live in the wild. Nothing more, nothing less. Unless it's explicitly on the page, it's never occurred to him. You simply cannot analyse any Bill Holbrook comic the same way you'd analyse other media and expect any degree of coherence, because he just doesn't write it that way. Not even subconsciously. The thing that gets to me about Holbrook is that while he doesn't understand subtlety, he has the knack for somehow picking up things to add in his comics that gives the most hosed up message. It's cool to work for an abusive boss as long as you're the one they favor occasionally! Colonialism is good as long as you make money off of it! Marrying into the upper class is the only way you survive in this dog-eat-dog world! It's just really weird that all of Holbrook's comics boil down to an indictment of capitalism and corporations. Powered Descent posted:It's been four days now and she still hasn't given a single thought to poor old what's-his-face in Paris. Now that you mention it, did Dawn even know what Wilbur did in Bogota? Dawn's complete absence in the drunk Wilbur fiasco makes me think she doesn't even know that Wilbur almost got dumped by Estelle again. I'm still curious why John Allison struck this story from canon. I'm looking forward to the rest to hopefully figure out if there's something in it that made him think the story was bad or something. So the merfolk claimed Earth's waters as their home and said they want a voice in how the planet is run... and then they refuse to meet with politicians anyway.

Between this and Wilbur's fling on the beach in Bogota* a few years ago, does this entire cursed bloodline treat relationships as "out of sight, out of mind"?

Wow, Lt Tracy is so incompetent when he doesn't have a prisoner to torture that Shaky feels he can just go out collecting his sister's fake charity donations. Good thing there are a few actual detectives left in Chicago. Anyway, in Juliet Jones, Pop is in control.
