I hosed up my sleep schedule, let's pretend it's a new day and not the middle of the night. Funky Winkerbean - April 30th - almost all of May. May 1-20. That's right. Over twenty days of CANCER CANCER CANCER. I thought about splitting some of this up but fuckit, I want this over with. Also you get to see how much of a piece of poo poo Les Moore is with a bonus sunday comic. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ...actually I lied, we can stop at May 13th for mother's day. happy mother's day. I'll post the rest of this batch later. e: oh and spoilers, that "good news" doesn't mean anything, she's gone by the end of the year.

How Wonderful! posted:Your comment also reminds me of a project I'd love to do some day which is to just dig into all of the comics that ran in queer periodicals through the 80s and 90s, just because it's something I know so little about what was out there aside from DtWOF and stuff like The Chosen Family, Doc and Raider, I don't know... the Ethan Green thing? Harry Chess? It just seems like there's so much to be done-- it's like pulling teeth just finding out solid syndication information about DtWOF. There were a couple of collections of The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green put out back in the day and there's a big omnibus one still available that claims to be the complete fifteen-year run. It was simple and cute and I always sort of liked the strip, so it'd be neat to see it again. My biggest problem is that a lot of the gay comics I think of are, well, Gay Comix, which was a comic book and not a newspaper strip. I'm not very well versed in the periodicals either!

Majinaughey, as I've been titling it since Q-rais referred to his state as such, is Serious (Not Joking) Naughey and I think based on his interest in Marxist literature we can assume that it's not PTSD but something the crows have done to his brain with their weird ritual.

Yeah-- it's a whole other universe, and as much as I think it would be fun to write about Howard Cruse and Hothead Paisan or Come Out Comix and all that I feel like I need to draw the line somewhere.

(just as a little piece of trivia, here's how DtWOF was regularly printed in off our backs, one of the major publications it consistently ran in:)![]() I think it's interesting that both the Firebrand editions and the Essential print each strip in a format contrary to how it ran in at least one actual periodical-- a necessity of printing of course but still, #37 in particular is a comic I've now read in three different formats and it does land differently each way.

FrumpleOrz posted:On The Fastrack holbrook gets the pose quite correct, but the way he uses this painting in the series of panels suggests the subject is 'waking up' in a new world. the actual subject of the painting was depicted that way due to an inability to physically walk around the grounds of her home.

How Wonderful! posted:I am, I've just had bad allergies this week and haven't had the energy to drag my rear end to our scanner. My very last semester obligations are behind me now though so I'll try to get through a good chunk of them tomorrow. I have two collections of Donovan's single-panel comics for the Advocate during the 80's. Some are funny, some funny more to GLBTQ, some are dated. There's a bunch of jokes about clones (referring to fit gay men with short hair, mustaches, jeans, t-shirts, and maybe leather vest/jackets) which hasn't been a thing for 25 years or more. Second, I have the (I think) complete Curbside/Curbside Boys by Robert Kirby. The first collection is semi-autobiographical comics with himself as the main character, which I think become increasingly fictionalized as the comic continued. The second collection carries over some of the characters, including himself now as a secondary character but, (again I think), with an entirely fictional story, turning into more of a dramedy. I also have the first two collections of Leonard and Larry, a long-running in-real-time serialized strip centering on a gay couple in Los Angeles. It's quite well-drawn and frequently funny, but not deep like DTWOF. Yes, I'm a middle aged gay man who likes comics. How could you tell?

What a loving rear end in a top hat, sure let's make fun of your student and share her personal information to the whole class, that's good behavior coming from the person in authority. Even if you were rear end in a top hat enough to take her phone, once you figured the message was of a private nature, you'd give it back and not even think of saying that out loud.

Sometimes they'd been forced to eat poop until they went crazy, or sometimes an illiterate person would suddenly be able to write because they were possessed by a tengu.

StrixNebulosa posted:I hosed up my sleep schedule, let's pretend it's a new day and not the middle of the night. God, I hate Funky Winkerbean is so relentless with its maudlin "humor". The story of someone dealing with having Cancer could have various emotions to go with different scenes. It could express joy, hope, humor, sadness, apathy, depression, frustration, anger, etc. But the way Batiuk always ends his comic with his idea of a witty oneliner makes the whole thing a big, humorless, gray blob. I'm not sure why people in-universe seem to think Lisa's Story is the greatest thing ever considering how she has the personality of a wet sock in these strips. Why in the gently caress is Cayla smiling here? Les has done nothing but whine in the conversation so far and reaffirm that Lisa is still the most important thing to him. As someone who read Bad Machinery from the site, this one's interesting to me because if I remember right, this is an entirely new addition and Mildred didn't have her own introduction strip.

Haifisch posted:I know part of Zelda is that the title character is often an rear end in a top hat and we're not supposed to agree with her 100% of the time, but I'm sure waiting for a 'seriously though, zelda's a prick and having/wanting kids is equally valid to not having/wanting kids' strip to cap this off. But that's what the strip is doing though. The punchline is that they're so different with kids. Not that it isn't valid to want kid or not.

Alhazred posted:Zelda This one makes me laugh because it's a fandom complaint in Sailor Moon - there's a similar deal, Tuxedo Mask kisses Usagi while she's asleep (and drunk as well I believe) and it's presented as this SUPER romantic thing, but, well, Zelda has it right.
