Bad Machinery![]() Sorry for the white line, that was there the last time GoComics published the page. I hoped they might have fixed it for the rerun, but alas no.

God, the parenting in Cul De Sac is so good. We can see from her expression that Alice's mom isn't a fan of how much space the art is taking up, but she doesn't tell her daughter to stop drawing or that she draws "too much". Instead, she suggests using computers to make art as a way of expanding Alice's horizons and to make it easier to sort. The Vosgian Beast posted:Big comic strip news https://deadline.com/2020/06/nickelodeon-phoebe-and-her-unicorn-options-franchise-1202963565/ This is great news and I hope it goes well for the creator. Is the last panel supposed to be a flashback? Because if not, then Dethany just immediately broke her promise to Fi not to tell this conversation to anyone. So it's only been a couple of months but the dodos are inbreeding at a terrifying rate. Not only that, but the sentient flytraps, the only predator that can keep the dodo numbers in check, are ineffectual because the dodos easily destroy them. Mars' entire ecosystem is going to be destroyed and the dodos will resort to cannibalism because there's nothing else to eat. Mars is completely hosed over and it's all DNA Wizard's fault. Good Listener posted:The only reason they had the gopher take a selfie is so the weasel can tell oh maybe gophers aren't just to be eaten so they can start dating because everyone must be paired off in all of Holbrook's poo poo. What's really annoying about this stupid selfie plan is that there's actually a good reason to do it. Holbrook came up with a law where predators can't hunt down preys that they personally know. But you know Holbrook never even considered that and this is just an excuse to make the gopher and weasel get together and make babies.

-My guess is the "Vaca" in "Mr. Vaca" is supposed to be pronounced "vaycay" as in "vacation." I've seen people abbreviate vacation that way before, though it doesn't read very well. -Les being excited at the prospect of a younger sibling is really sweet. Poor kid probably wants to spare them the neglectful childhood he had. -Safe Havens doesn't show up on my app unless I actively click on the image link but reading amigolupus' description of what's happening was bonkers and made me really happy I don't see it unless I really want to.

Mämmilä![]() Toivo and Rauha Rönkä we have seen before. Toivo is possibly the richest man in Mämmilä, owning tracts of land around Mämmilä and properties in the town proper, for example the building clothing store Ajan Asu is in. He's the heir of a rich, land-owning farmer, old money, and as such hopelessly out of touch. He is not in the town council or take any interest in actual development of anything, he's only in it for the money. We learn more about his history and his connection to Jalmari Lepola later.

FrumpleOrz posted:Kevin & Kell Look at that word choice. "He at *that*" Not, he ate "him/her" or he at "them" even. That. A thing. A piece of meat with no soul, rather than a thinking, feeling, sentient person. What a hellworld this strip is, and what kind of bone-chilling thought process holbrook has to enthusiastically engage with it as though it's good and even *funny* day after day. Also, C&H shows that his parents really do care for him.

El Spamo posted:Look at that word choice. "He at *that*" Not, he ate "him/her" or he at "them" even. That. A thing. A piece of meat with no soul, rather than a thinking, feeling, sentient person. The weasel has already loudly proclaimed wanting to kill and eat [X] race before they went inside. These two are idiots for inviting her inside their home not just because of the quarantine but also because there's a chance this weasel might just decide to eat them and their kid instead. And gently caress, I know that if a murderer might be after me, I sure as hell wouldn't want my landlords to sell me out by showing the murderer what I look like. God, this is so hosed up. The baby's only a few months old and Lynn's already verbally abusing her. ![]()

It really smacks a lot of 'oh, but you're one of the good ones.', where racists/bigots are hateful against groups of people, but not -you-, because they know you. (Or in this case, eat those groups of people.) She'll probably end up together with him and they'll be madly in love, and the only difference between him and the countless of sapient beings she's murdered for sustenance is that she met him and talked to him a bit first. Literally unable to emptathise with or humanise anyone they don't personally know, or have had a positive experience with.

I'm not at all surprised about Phoebe getting picked up by Nick. My friend's 9-year-old knows it and loves it, and she's not a comic strip reader, generally speaking. I believe she got to them through the collections, and I bet there are other kids like that. It's definitely something I can see appealing to that demo.
