Today's 9CL reminds me of my birthday a lot.

It was today, and my mom made my birthday party all about her. How painful it was giving birth to me and my sisters, what the experience of giving birth was like. There were also really shallow, superficial comments about how horrible the holocaust was and gosh it was so horrible and wasn't it horrible?

That feels like the fate that will befall those poor kids. A fate where the most important things will always be putting their parent's wants, needs, and desires front and center.

Happy birthday! And sorry about your mom ruining it by making it all about her.

Speaking of the fate of the poor kids, one thing I'm afraid these two idiots will do is force their kids to read aaaaall those long letters Amos wrote about how their mom's hot and what a good gently caress she is.

I think his motor control disability is supposed to be, like, shaking his face apart into a contortion? That said listen to your wife dude, you've already got a pretty good life as a criminal.

I looked him up and it's actually quite clever- this Shaky is a sort of reboot of the original Shaky, who was a really old Tracy villain, old enough that we're going to encounter him in Classic Tracy. The classic version had to take a "nerve tonic" for his shakes, but he's specifically depicted as incredibly dexterous. This new version has the same trait- if you look back at the strips involving this character, he's always doing things like building ships in bottles and sharpshooting.

Both versions of this character share the same condition, but if you take a look back at the strips involving this character...




He's also not actually affected by it- which is why the artists are depicting him lighting cigarettes and pouring whiskey!

I love how Jams established that Dr. Vargo is really famous online, and that he's got millions of viewers and even got sponsorship because of it. And then Jams just contradicts himself in this comic by having Mark make that petty comment about how Dr. Vargo died over "a little bit of fame". He can't even keep his loving facts straight.

I bet he's going to end this with Genie not only being a terrible enabler, but also never notifying anyone that Dr. Vargo died. And then Mark Trail is back in his cabin making a smug comment how people like Dr. Vargo who only chase after fame are quickly forgotten by the internet.

It's going to end up being "tell, don't show" again. First panel is Genie turning back, second panel is Mark stopping in his tracks saying he heard something and the last panel is a close up shot of Mark's shocked face as he says he saw two figures in the distance.

not gonna lie, if I were actually into wild internet star Vargo and his travel diaries on youtube and twitter, if he died mysteriously in the mountains I would assume yeti and demand investigation. Dr Vargo wouldn't be forgotten because "fame is fleeting" that's not how the internet works when something weird happens

I can't parse what the man says in the last panel (even after reading the book's more detailed version in both Finnish and Swedish). I presume it's deliberately cryptic description of some magical ritual.

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.


In today's Corto Maltese: These boys seem to be fairly unpleasant people. Well! At least they won't be of any major concern to Italy or the world in the near future! What's that? ...oh, or Corto meets a man who the world would have been much better off if his mother had accidentally tripped up and decapitated him as a baby, or Hey, D'Annuzio, why are you trying to deescalate things? Shouldn't you be snorting cocaine off of the nearest aristo's arse instead?
