Zereth posted:... Fun? what does the writer think a covid party is? A covid party is when a group of kids have a party and intentionally invite people who have covid so they can prove they don't care about the virus and are cool and to have fun being rebellious It's another one of those things that doesn't happen or happened once but the media tells everyone all the young people are doing it everywhere

How Wonderful! posted:Sam's Strip (2/27/1962) I wonder if this is meant to be a Smokey Stover gag, given Holman's love of background signs with nonsense catchphrases (scramgravy ain't wavey!). Rhymes with Orange  Get Fuzzy 10/11/00  Brenda Starr 9/5/43  Aleister Crowley supposedly filed down a couple of his front teeth, and would offer women he met a "serpent's kiss." If they agreed, he'd bite their hands and lick up the blood drawn. I wonder if that might have inspired Messick to create this charmer. Smokey Stover 4/10/38  Edge of Recovery  Yes, yes, get on with it. Bonus ad! If you have ever had trouble telling poo poo from Shinola, this should clear things up.

I think early on there may have been parties where people deliberately exposed themselves to someone with covid in order to get it, thinking they'd be immune after. On the other hand, that might just've been an urban legend.

Just try to find a story about it that lists information that could be fact checked like the name of a reporter or a newspaper. That's the big tell and I have yet to see any story on the subject that's done so.

So not only has Muldar made a racist comment about the interracial family, he also said a saying that's probably offensive to his feline partner. That's Holbrook humor for you.

IT IS TIME     Hahahaha, gently caress these whiny babies. I'm glad they're losing this. Turning Mark into a YouTube guy and opening with "you're acting so UNNATURAL" is such a great middle finger to James Allen and older Trail, I'm in love.

I'm into this if for no other reason (and there are other good reasons) that there's a self-contained strip with a bit of storytelling. One of JAM's sins that rarely gets discussed among all of the other awful things about him is his pacing - he'd take 5-10 strips to say something that could be said in 2 or padded reasonably cleanly to 3 for the slower serialization recaps or overlaps. The result is just huge stretches of identical close-ups and strips that said literally nothing. I could actually even forgive the tracing or weird hand drawn art if the stories happened at a reasonable pace.

Well, *that* sin is shared with every syndicated serial daily story strip I can think of. The syndicates actively push for it, because they think newspaper readers will need it to keep up with the story, plus it's a strain for a writer to come up with so much material. Dumbing of Age (which has no syndication pressure) avoids it but with this annoying whiplash where the setup from one day is frequently canceled in the next. If Rivera can actually avoid that she's a genius. IMO the best storyline strips are the twice or three times a week webcomics. curtadams fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Oct 12, 2020 |

Vargo posted:IT IS TIME To be honest I wasn't sold on this based on the details given so far. Mark's not a professional wildlife guy? Cherry's a small business owner? Eh... But this is an excellent introduction. Contextualizing Mark Trail's job as if these were the Sunday strips makes a lot of sense. Because of course Mark would be an online guy today. Where else would you be able to stream your PSAs?

I was gonna say I feel like they've actually nailed the look of Mark Trail pretty well? A little cartoony in comparison but the way the page is set up feels right to me. I was looking forward to seeing this and knowing it makes dumb commenters mad is a definite plus.

Hey, just a quick reminder of the forum rules to head things off at the pass:Waterhaul posted:Don't Be A Creep. But also: How Wonderful! posted:6) You are only allowed to be a creep about a comic character if it is about the new Mark Trail and his hard, hot body.

I think we talked a lot about this during the Dr. Camel storyline - making Mark Trail a YouTuber instead of a magazine writer is such an easy, natural, change and it makes a world of difference - and James was using it for the BAD GUY'S backstory.

My very important first impression of Neo-Mark: Not a fan, face and body art don't match very well. Probably gets better when she gets more comfortable with the characters.

curtadams posted:"What is this, the 40's? Who talks like that anymore?" Mark trail would hit this pace to a new order of magnitude even compared to Mary worth or Rex Parker. They stood in one place talking about vargo's corpse for two weeks. And it's supposed to be something of an adventure strip?
