In this installment of Keeping Up With the Joneses, Aloysius is able to identify a century plant on sight, but doesn't know that they can bloom a lot more frequently than that.

How Wonderful! posted:Me too, when I lived alone right after college it was steamed broccoli over brown rice with tofu and soy sauce every single night for dinner and vegetable quesadillas every single lunch, dumb expensive oats every breakfast, no snacks, tons of wine, really depressing stuff. I love love love cooking when I've got other people to feed though. At my worst, dinner was a bottle of Sprite, cause it's got calories just the same as a meal.

The only critique I have of DtWoF (and this is rich, coming from the quality of my scans, I know) is that I sometimes find the comics a bit small? Otherwise, they - and the added commentary - are fantastic. And from added commentary that is fantastic to its atonym - in today's Corto Maltese: The fog is a metaphor, or the local inspector needs to start limiting his coffee intake, or Harry du Bois would consider this police department decidedly un-Disco. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Is this any better? ![]() to compare: ![]() Right now I'm just grabbing my images from the edition of the Essential I have on Comixology. I've started buying up used copies of the old print editions, which may be easier to just scan and post larger, but the world being what it is right now I'm not really expecting to see them show up any time in the immediate future.

I'd never even thought about using browser zoom features to look at smaller images. I mean there's no reason I can't, just seems like a lot of effort. Suffice to say yes the bigger images are much better. I've been skipping maybe half of these when I'm not in the mood for squinting but the bigger one really jumps out.

It's interesting to compare how DtWOF and Mary Worth handles cheating, especially since it treats the topic seriously. Ginger and Clarice are presented to be in the wrong, and even their friends know this is a bad idea and are trying to talk them out of it. Toni's body language in the last panel says she's deeply uncomfortable and vulnerable being back with her family, so Bechdel wants to remind us who will get hurt the most by this. It's quite refreshing, especially after weeks of Mary Worth more or less telling us that Dawn's actions were the right move because she would've been miserable staying with Hugo. I definitely didn't expect this ending. ![]()

Vargo posted:Internet/graphic novel artist Steenz is taking over Mark Tatuli's Heart of the City. I'm pretty excited about this, since Heart of the City kinda sucks and Steenz is pretty committed to doing her own thing with Tatuli's blessing. Plus, it's also nice to see fresh faces on the comics page, and as that WaPo article points out, almost none of the newspaper comic regulars are black women. ![]() How Wonderful! posted:Is this any better? ![]() Some Guy TT posted:I'd never even thought about using browser zoom features to look at smaller images.

Vargo posted:Adam loves this loving Godfather bit and he definitely has not read the book. It wouldn't annoy me so much except that speaking as someone who actually read the book I'm dead serious when I say that like a fifth of the text is dedicated to this utterly bizarre experimental vaginal reconstruction surgery subplot. I would think that a preteen girl might find that part to be just a wee bit more interesting than gangster cliches.

Darthemed posted:Docks I am frustrated that these boys completely missed that Eminem is trailer trash, the kind of poor white boy who lived the same hardship black folks in the ghetto suffered. It's not quite the same without the institutional racism, but it's about as close as you can get while being white.

How Wonderful! posted:I think it's a love to hate thing at best, kind of a register of where these characters have gone in their lives and how far they've drifted from their original characterizations, just like the little recurring bit about everyone gradually dropping vegetarianism except Mo. As far as foils go I kind of like the College Republican kid who shows up eventually better.

F Minus![]() Mark Trail ![]() Mary Worth ![]() Another thing that bugs me about this is that Dawn has never once considered moving to France.
