YggiDee posted:Wait, okay, I haven't been reading every comic that gets posted, but is the Mark Trail guy using his comic as ammunition for a Twitter fight? A Twitter fight with someone in this thread?? How long has this been happening, there's eighteen threads and they're all five hundred pages. Slightly longer version: WAY back in August, James ran an entire week of strips where Mark complains about losers on the internet who criticize his articles. James found me on Twitter making fun of him for it and proceeded to get into a slap fight with me over it. It went on for days, including him deciding I must be unemployed and making fun of me for that. I even (teasingly) asked if I could be a Mark Trail bad guy. A few other thread people got into it too. I accused him of using clip art and that REALLY set him off. And we ended this fight with him saying something like "You'll see what happens to social media fools in this storyline, STAY TUNED" Two weeks later, Dr Camel appears. And he looks... A little like me. Not a huge amount but enough to make me go "hah, that's funny". And then Dr Camel is a sad little loser and a jerk the whole time. And then stuff from our Twitter feud starts leaking into the strip. Including me getting mauled by a bear, which I think someone actually suggested to him. And now I am friend-zoned and dead. RIP ME.

This seems like the most likely explanation, yeah. I could also say this is why there are three weeks between Dr. Camel being mentioned and Dr Camel actually being seen, but that's just how time works in this strip. Also, as a result of this feud, the guy who does Over The Hedge is a fan of my podcast and the president of Andrews McMeel syndicate got in my DMs and took my resume. It was a weird time.

I laughed at the part where someone made a sarcastic tweet about Mark Trail and Jams thought they were being sincere, and then Vargo had to point out that they were making fun of him. I'm not sure what's more stupid, hiding the fact that the program they made is a buggy mess, or trusting Dethany not to snitch to her corporate overlords. Oh what the fresh hell is this bullshit? gently caress you, Holbrook!

Is Holbrook even in newspapers? I could see the fastrack poo poo but nothing else. Although his furry poo poo reminds me of an old webcomic I read waaaaay back in high school called Tiffany Tiger or some bullshit. I'm sure it was horrible so I read it mostly for the disbelief furries were real (I think I thought it was someone originally trying to make a future-modern day Robin Hood), but I do remember how they handled the poo poo better than Holbrook: predation wasn't allowed in certain areas but the comic mostly focused on relationship poo poo. So if you were a tiger, like the main character, you didn't form up a monogamous relationship; most were single moms, etc. Lions had harems/multiple wives. So not quite like Lackadaisy cats but more to the point Animal Has TRAIT didn't make up every comic. Of course if I went back now to find it, maybe the creator just borrowed everything from Holbrook minus the DNA wizardry poo poo. In Mary Worth, has Wilbur been de-aging somehow? He looks like he lost some years after Estelle was mind-controlled to stay with him.

Wilbur tries to make it sound like his problems are all related to issues that come with long-distance relationships, when all of it was caused by Wilbur being Wilbur. Between this and the part where he blames the double date fiasco on his drinking problem, it feels like Moy is trying to trick us into thinking Wilbur himself is blameless, and it's not working at all. Vargo posted:Yes, and this is... bad... somehow... because of his leg... I guess. Yeah, it's a disjointed narrative. Jams wants to tell a story of a guy who fell to the evils of social media, but it just sounds like a success story of someone who found support online and got himself a good job from it. Add in the part about the leg and how Jams is spinning this into a huge tragedy, and it feels like his message is that you can't be successful if you have a disability. kazz posted:I’m not concerned with all that. I just want to know why they’re still having this conversation outside, at night, in a blizzard, wearing thin layers but not actively searching for Vargo. Because Jams can't say this was a tragic ending if they found Doc Vargo still alive. The more likely solution is that he doesn't have clipart of characters digging through dirt with their hands that he could reuse for this scene. Cowslips Warren posted:Is Holbrook even in newspapers?

Kevin and Kell was originally web only, but it did run in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for a while. Imagine picking up a newspaper after a long while, going to the comics section thinking it might be nice for a laugh or two, and then stumbling onto talking dodos jumping into water and spouting a mermaid's tail or a wolf going back into prison and murdering and eating his body double so no one will notice him being missing.

LMAO at Mark Trail. "Through social media he became a global adventurer." Isn't he right there with you in the flesh? Dude seems to be quite the outdoorsman with or without social media. Camping out in mountain regions with snow is a few tiers above a hiking trail.The Bloop posted:If it's true, he could have given him all twenty and been out nothing Might injure Tim's pride.
