riderchop posted:Anything anyone wanna see over Monty? Monty's really hit or miss, and I know he's supposed to be insufferable, but little lord Fauntleroy is not a fun character I seem to remember Pearls Before Swine being pretty good, and I even like the drawn out Sunday length Pun comics. Hell, he even got Bill freaking Waterson to do guest strips for him. How cool is that?

Pearls Before Swine is good.

It blows my mind that people don't like Monty, it's consistently one of the best comics in this thread.

Monty is a consistent 7/10 except for the rich kid, post reruns if it's a rich kid storyline imo.

Some Guy TT posted:Cheer Up Boss Dharma that's a case of a joke taking on a better meaning but similar meaning with translation! Also, the common names of fish are one of the most difficult to translate, as they differ even in different regions of the same country, I've had many conversations with european fishermen where it took us a while of describing back and forth to figure out what fish we were referring to. of course, the internet ruined that - now you can just...GOOGLE IT

I don't mind a couple rich kid comics, but having them go on for a week or two... eh.

PBS was great ~10 years ago but I think it's run out of steam. I like Monty though, and don't mind the rich kid although his stories are rarely good.

I remember reading a robotman collection when i was a kid, he was living with a family and it felt like a completely different strip. I still can't believe robotman was created by the syndicate as a brand mascot to get licensing deals and their first choice of artist was noted merchandising lover bill watterson. (to be fair it was before calvin and hobbes was a thing and he was still trying to get a comic deal) anyway, i'm trying to find a strip that was posted in a previous iteration of this thread - i remember it being a very "indie" sort of strip, started mid-late 80s, was in a lot of college newspapers maybe? it didn't really have jokes, just observations. basically every strip looked like this:

Brooke has a daughter, he should know that new parents don't have the same active, social, sex filled lives in the month after birth. For fucks sake, the only consequence of a woman giving birth isn't bigger tits and an unplanned nap once a month!

Yep, good old anal conception. Also, when it comes to Monty, the good to flat ratio is very much so on the good side.

EasyEW posted:Out Our Way (July 5-7, 1934) I was a bit puzzled by this, but it turns out barbers used to keep a rack of personalized shaving mugs for their regular customers (and naturally, you wanted a spiffy-looking mug so everyone else who dropped by the shop could see you were a Person of Importance). The barber here is trying to upsell the kid on a fancy mug. (edited to add this, from a 1931 article about a local barber shop getting rid of its stock of mugs): ![]() Selachian fucked around with this message at 01:48 on May 19, 2020 |
