I loving hate Holbrook. Every single Fastrack strip he's putting out in this societal landscape just makes me angrier and angrier. The sheer lust for authoritarianism and corporate boot-licking is loving disgusting and that's coming from a collection of works that are increasingly becoming the Forgotten Realms of newspaper comics. I think the thing that ultimately makes it worse is the jovial and playful way he's made a reliable part of his entire design ethos, this winking and happy "I really like visual metaphors!" style that gilds the poison oak.

His characters don't have natural conversations either; everything they say is them explaining the scene to onlookers/the reader.

Does the Fastrack comic even have anything besides 'visual metaphor, character A explains metaphor to character B'? Maybe he can't figure out a way to do that setup long-distance.

Like, okay, I know the forums rules of "don't be creepy" but this whole turn in On The Fastrack weirds me the gently caress out because it keeps reading as a weird authoritarianism fetish to me. She's having employees work from her house. This comic, in particular, just sits in my stomach like a lead weight. ![]() None of this is okay. Not a single part of this is okay. I understand that this character's defining characteristic is She's Boss Lady Who Controls All. But the language of the strip, the body posture, it just has strong overtones of [heavy breathing] enjoyment. This isn't "out-of-touch boss being out-of-touch" or any sort of Pointy Haired Manager shenanigans you get with, like, Dana from Working Daze. I get more than "control freak" vibes in the same way that one knows what obscenity is when one sees it and it's just making me incredibly uncomfortable for Bill loving Holbrook to put this poo poo in the newspapers with all of the confidence of a mediocre white male writer he throws around on a daily basis. And I would feel like these gut feelings would be reading too much into this if this wasn't Bill Holbrook who never saw a metaphor he couldn't take at face value and a pregnancy he couldn't shoehorn in.

And we've been shown that Deathany goes home to her boyfriend/fiancee/whatever the gently caress he is despite working at her boss' home so it's safe to assume her coworker is also going home, and that these people are not social distancing at all, and therefore they're complicit in murder.

in this installment of Keeping Up With the Joneses, I don't know if using "not at liberty" to mean "not available" was actually common, or if Momand contrived it for the sake of the joke. (Just in case: Aloysius is deliberately misparsing 'not at liberty' to mean 'in prison'; 'pinched' = 'arrested'.) Note the extra joke: Mr. Bonehed has a Funny Name, tee hee.
