Juliet Jones, where it seems I misread Tuesday's strip. It is not baseball that is Don's dread secret, but where he played it. The world seems a little duller just now. Back on Monday with more exciting blackmail action.![]()

amigolupus posted:How do you even forget your own company? And buying a bunch of copyrights and just sitting on them is extremely lovely. Harmony Gold just did the same thing where they extended their stranglehold on Macross just so they could keep doing nothing with it. I like how in Batiuk's fantasy of starting his own comic company the only solution he can think of to any problem is just having a really rich guy in the room being rich. He can't even pretend like success in the field has anything to do with talent.

My Lovely Horse posted:Man Korean needs a whole lot more characters for "what's with Peggy" and a whole lot less for "semiconductor factory" than I would have guessed. Korean's an alphabet with separate letters just like the Latin alphabet, so if you figure no spaces and ' as its own character, English only needs four more for "semiconductorfactory" than "what'swithpeggy" edit: while we're on language equivalents for Boss Dharma, anyone else see Peggy's speech tick as "like," instead of "gee," since that makes more sense in American English? Eg: "Like, you don't know anything?" "Like, 60% of infections come through the hands" Hoover Dam fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Feb 15, 2020 |

No reason why not; if you go to Antarctica and run 42km then you ran a marathon there. I'm just surprised Ripley's didn't talk about her more recent feat of completing eight marathons on eight consecutive days across eight continents.

Vargo, you do understand you have to make a comic starring Dr. Harvey Camel now, right?Kennel posted:Nancy Sluggo is Perv Zereth posted:
Yes, run by the planned travel "experience" company, "Marathon Adventures", that promoted the fact that she was doing this. The news articles Ripley's is citing were basically set up as promotions for the company.

The thing is...a proper 21st-century Mark Trail would be doing basically everything Harvey is, save the juvenile diabetes/yeti thing. Honestly, Mark making a web series would provide a diegetic reason for the random animal fact strips. It's like Jam Esallen basically laid out a blueprint for what a competent writer would be doing with the character, but he's going 'look at how much

He can't even pretend like success in the field has anything to do with talent. That could be applied to all his characters. His other solution is to keep stumbling onto talented old people who used to be famous and now struggling financially, and then stoking their egos so they'd beg to be hired. It's all incredibly predatory and I doubt Batiuk even realizes what he's made. Arlo is seriously doubling down on this, huh? It'd be interesting to see how this gets resolved. These are adults in their mid-40s to early 50s and even their idea of a nice Valentines is to give cards to each other. ![]() Haifisch posted:Considering dropping Rex Morgan from these unless it stops being terminally boring. The art's better and way more dynamic than modern Rex Morgan, but that's it. There's still nothing interesting going on.

I like modern Rex Morgan, but I think I'd need to start the strip from the beginning to be able to build up a tolerance for this semi-retro Rex. Also I think I'm sold on a set of the prince valiant tracts now. Holy crap.
