Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!

Why are you two still together again? Between this and the previous "let's have an open relationship -- actually wait, I only meant for me to get more dick, not for you to get more pussy"... I mean, you clearly can't stand each other and are mutually terrible. Why are you still together?

Also, what the gently caress is up with Mark Trail right now? The art's been noted, but what is this story?
I think MT has been losing papers and he's trying to shake things up to save his job. We joke about Vargo breaking him here but I admit I think that got him thinking too.

Zelda is a great parody of a certain kind of person, just not a fun person to be around. I like it for many of the same reasons I like Retail

Zelda is the living embodiment of "are straight people okay?" Like, are ya'll good? The sex can not possibly be worth this.

I mean I know she's a cartoon character but I also know like ten people who are exactly like these characters and it's... concerning.

They're each individually capable of ruining some poor innocent's life. Best they stay together: they can only make each other miserable then.

Thanks for contacting John Allison about this! That puts the mystery of why he took the story down to rest. Knowing what comes later, I can kind of see why he thought the writing went down steeply. Still, it's a shame to lose these new Mystery Kids.

I don't get Zelda's appeal either. It's two terrible people being horrid to each other all the time. They don't have other people to bounce off of, or get comeuppance for their actions, so it's just one big miserable pile of a relationship. Zelda is essentially The Lockhorns but with the obnoxiousness cranked up pretty high.

Interesting. I wondered if he was worried about repeating himself (A new group of adolescents get involved with the wider world of Tackleford, while the old guard hangs about to snark at them) but given that WEN-TACK just sort of...ends, that makes sense.

Grendel, Fit Mum, some characters we've yet to meet...it was a shame to have them all written out of the wider John Allison Universe.

It's an issue I've run into before, while for example trying to get an archive of M, or any other series.

There's nothing like comics kingdom etc for Norwegian/Scandinavian comics. They're usually just hosted by the newspaper that carries them, and only for a few days worth of backlog.

Some might run in physical comics and etc, but outside of maybe getting anthologies and scanning those there aren't really any good options.

When I was downloading all the Intet Nytt fra Hjemmefrontens, I had luck writing a program that just blindly guesses what the files might be called on the Dagbladet.no CDN. I could try doing the same thing for another comic if someone wanted.

And from that, to today's Corto Maltese: Corto, please don't antagonize these people, they are literally assassins, or The lessons of WW1 about a frontal approach over open ground against an entrenched position have evidently not reached this far East, or Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad shakes his head in disgust/despair
