drat, Billingsley can pull off a hat. In today's Corto Maltese: You see, that's why bullet shields are important, Corto, or Brukoy has an unusual way of lifting charges, or Corto decides to leave Africa for more hospitable climes ![]() ![]() And so we finish The Ethiopian and go onto what I consider to be the best story in the collection so far! Join us next time, won't you? In Siberia!

ukonvasara posted:The problem is that you're giving it way too much credit for intentionality and coherence. What happened here is that there were no problems with the code because the concept of autocorrection simply locked the concept of computer bugs in a literal cage. The vehicles of these particular metaphors are so far from their respective tenors that they can see the curvature of the Earth (figuratively). ![]() this is part of what makes holbrook comics such weird incoherent messes

Evil Mastermind posted:Buddy, this guy went nuts on the Working Daze wikipedia page to the point where he pretty much got banned from editing the page. God those character descriptions. 2/3's of the female characters are witches who will curse you if you look at them the wrong way. The others are "pretty and knows it" and "jealous others are more popular". He spends 5 paragraphs talking about the nuances of drawing Rita. No wonder he has no energy left at the end of the day for stuff like "jokes" or "drawing things other than clothing folds"

Late to the new thread but George Gatley's Heathcliff is the comic I post on and off. George created and drew Heathcliff from 1973–2001 usually as a single panel comic about a cat who is a chaotic neutral force of destruction and mischief in his home town. He is owned by the Nutmeg family. His hobbies include tipping gargabe cans, wooing his girlfriend, annoying the local fishmonger, and bullying the local dogs (going so far as to actively help the dog catchers). George's nephew, Peter Gallagher, now runs the strip and has taken it in a radical new direction as you've seen in the thread already. Notable characters from the original run include: *Mr. Nutmeg, Heathcliff's elderly owner. *Iggy Nutmeg, the grandson of Mr. Nutmeg. *Sonja, his maybe girlfriend. *Crazy Shirley who wants to be his girlfriend. *Spike, a bulldog who is his rival. *Chauncey, a dog who is very nice. Heathcliff's father is canonically in prison for crimes we can only assume can never be forgiven. ![]() ![]() I post these out of worn out early 80's paperbacks during my lunch break at work so the quality changes daily.

While it's not exactly hard to do the problem in your head either way, it's interesting (to me, anyway) that my brain approaches it in completely different ways when it's written that way vs. the way in the cartoon. Written the way in the cartoon: oh, that's just .25 times 20. Written your way: oh, that's just 2500 over 500.

Funny, I think "Those 1/100s cancel each other out, so I only have 25/5. Now let me grab my calculator." Studying mathematics actually makes you really bad at arithmetics. But you can simplify expressions quite easily. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Jan 12, 2020 |
