Surgeon's Tales There's no English wiki page for Horn, but he was the king's teacher/adviser and about 50 years old at this point.  We saw Kreeta and Johannes about 150 strips ago. Kreeta was Bernhard's first love and Johannes her nerdy suitor, who was with the bailiff when the peasants attacked his house. Nancy   Dustin  Mandrake  1997 Viivi & Wagner

Kennel posted:Mandrake No wait hold on Can this guy read minds? Because his plan as described is - Send e-mail saying "I know your deepest fear" - Recipient of e-mail thinks "How could they know I fear (x)?" - Guy, having learned the deepest fear, proceeds to act it out The second point would require him to be able to read minds.

Watch yer back Bets. They're gonna dump you into the same limbo as Delta and Rosa... I love the Evans' SKelly-esque commitment to writing their protagonists out to be sociopathic assholes and thinking to themselves, "YEAH! These are the good guys!"  FrumpleOrz posted:On The Fastrack

They're cosplaying, which maybe, just maybe might involve striking poses appropriate to the characters, but that doesn't matter to LuBer, I guess.

I'm just tickled that Boondocks provided early documentation of a weird white boy flex that continues to this very day.

Calvin's Dad is a breath of fresh air compared to the average comic strip dad. His "how the world works" strips are the best. Also the new thread title.

Johnny Walker posted:Hey I thought merpeople were from Mars! No, one of the completely bizarre plot points of this comic is that some alien creature started on Venus, I guess abandoned it when it became uninhabitable(?), stopped by on Earth (and apparently hosed some humans to make mermaids(?)), and then traveled to Mars to start a new civilization. Which was prompted wiped out when Mars became sentient and deliberately killed them all with their own machines.

2017 Spiderman 1978 Comics    Dick Tracy  I've decided that unless this arc is actually interesting somehow or unless there's a surprise contingent of people really into modern Tracy, I'm going to stop posting it after this arc. This isn't even bad in a fun to hate way, it's just boring. There's only so many times I can make fun of the stories getting constantly sidetracked by Flintheart bullshit before it gets old.

I've been very low key fascinated by Metropolis for years, and, while there's a good chance that this story goes someplace completely bonkers, I'm not sure I trust the current Dick Tracy writers to go there, or if they do, to not just switch to a different story half way.

From what I can tell as my eyes skim past it, modern Dick Tracy is a strip about a 90 year old community theater actor who is married to a woman some 60 to 70 years his junior; on occasion the titular cop comes through and shoots somebody

Modern Dick Tracy has just completely lost the thread and I don't understand why they think they need to keep going back to the stupid theatre. I really am disappointed, because pretty much up until the surprise anti-Semitism arc I thought they were doing pretty good, and since then it's just meandering into nothing.
