I think the modern Dick Tracy writers believe they have a Peter Falk character (as in The Phantom) in Vitamin Flintheart.

Shouldn't they at least try to look for him?

Shut the hell up, Wilbur. You went away on that trip for months without bothering to contact Estelle, so you don't get a say here.


I've really had enough of this storyline. It wants us to care that the sister has a drinking problem, but it's been dragging this out for a couple months now and we still haven't had everyone notice. And I don't want to imagine how long the intervention will get dragged out. It's also trying to build up the drama of the TV host brother eventually finding out about his sister's drinking problem, but this guy is an rear end in a top hat whose shtick in his show is his "ironic" misogyny, so gently caress him. The only relatable character is the host's driver, who is completely tired of this poo poo.

I thought this comic was alright since it had the Professor, but Apartment 3-G is just bad. Or maybe it's just this storyline that's a plodding mess.

Same here. Especially since Holbrook bringing in these pop culture references or memes in his comics raises even more questions about hellworld.

Well, that's what makes Holbrook so endlessly, ahem, fascinating: he's this weird combination of surprisingly clued in for his age and yet, simultaneously, incredibly oblivious.

A) gently caress off, Flintheart, nobody likes you.

B) Is it just me or does Vitamin Flintheart look like a slightly younger (or less hosed up) Fly-Face in panel 1 of this MCS?

i always kind of enjoy bloom county's look into decades past, over time it seems to evolve a bit as well when more characters are introduced due to the nature of it being like a boarding house and all that. it's why boondocks is also fun to read for me, since by now it's pretty obvious that the writer really let current events of the time come through in the comic.

also i went back and read that comic twice :twisted:

Pru has a girlfriend in New York? Did we know this? (We knew she was a lesbian, but I had the impression Team Evans were keeping her permanently single so they could still score the diversity points without spooking the olds. I guess having the girlfriend be someone who lives far far away and whom Pru never ever sees nor speaks of is the next closest thing.) If Pru has a girlfriend in New York, why did she come to Podunk to live with Luann's family?

Also shut the gently caress up, Luann. You could date, but you choose not to so the olds don't think you're a slut because you just haven't met the right guy to settle down with yet.
