Some Guy TT posted:On one end a six pack of bottled beer is one of the more impractical things a person can shoplift so I can't help but feel like this is supposed to be some kind of moral statement. At least around here grabbing a case of beer and running seems to be one of the most common (* shoplifting methods. Those don't have alarms though. *) or just the most visible, because they don't even try to hide it. Kennel fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Apr 19, 2020 |

I'd say I can't get over how deliberately the shoplifter is visually coded - like, this can't be a generic character just having something under his jacket, he's got to be UNSHAVEN and wearing a HOODIE and specifically stealing BEER so no one can say he might just be hungry - but mostly what I can't get over, generally, is how badly OBH is drawn.

Junk Drawer was good this week I laughed  A little controversy on this last one:  The featured comment is accusing this of stealing from Overboard. I don't read Overboard so you guys who do can tell us if you think Featured Comment has a point.

No, Junk Drawer has managed to draw animals in a weird enough way than Overboard draws them for it to be outright theft.

I worked in a convenience store in the mid-80s and during an especially busy night, a guy walked in and grabbed a 12-pack and walked right out. My co-worker and I looked at each other and just smiled and went on checking out customers.

This installment of Keeping Up With the Joneses is interesting not for the fairly standard "I load your arms full of packages then criticize you for not using your hands for something else" gag, but for the explicit anticommunist message in the last panel. How many modern cartoonists (non-editorial) would be quite that blatant?

I find Overboard clumsy and painfully earnest, like a retired dentist's painting of wild horses at a garage sale. It mostly elicits a "hmm, I see" reaction, such as a Zippy the Pinhead might.

I think Josh nailed Zippy pretty well:Comics Curmudgeon posted:This dripping, self-indulgent bolus of hipper-than-thou omphaloskepsis no longer stains even the benighted San Francisco Chronicle.

I still think Zippy's great. I can't imagine being upset at a hand-drawn absurdist comic with deliberately obscure references to old cultural ephemera in the era of Luann, Garf and Drinky Duck.

Surgeon's Tales  Nancy   Dustin  Mandrake  I might drop Redneck/Punaniska. Went trough several weeks of archive and there wasn't a single strip I liked enough to translate (I've already been skipping a lot). The art is fine, but the jokes are just too bland.
