So now that 9CL is officially booted from papers do you think it's going to go all in on reactionary fascist politics Ishida-style or simply become overt pornography? Both? It's both isn't it.

Queer my pitch is super old time way to rocked my boat more or less. Not a big deal. Using Jap in a historical setting perhaps but I’m not giving that lech any leeway in a three panel comic. Could have easily just said “Zero”. It’s implied it’s a Japanese plane since nobody else flew them.

Fascinating look at what Dustin duo think qualifies as a man worthy of fuckin' in the Dustinverse. So maybe women can't instinctively smell the unemployment on Dustin so much as he is 1/3 the size of a "real man." Dustin is college age so unlikely to grow further without a serious workout bulk up plan and his father is like half a head taller then him and almost 1.5 times as wide(.. comparing shoulder width.) Just fascinating to me because the only other adult men we see are Dustin's friend and Ed. Doomykins fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Dec 4, 2021 |

To encourage moving on from PCL, in today's Blueberry: From what amateur (and extremely amateur at that) research I did, I couldn't find a specific Apache person who had the name Little Moon. Possibly Charlier knew of a Crow warrior who went by that name - that's certainly what I got a lot of by looking up 'Little Moon'. But it is also possible that this person is much like Lt. Crow or Quanah, and is not based on an actual real-life person, or Blueberry gets out of the frying pan and into that fire!, or Blueberry gets upset with Cole and Blount

Huxley posted:using the Q word in the old-timey sense Julet Esqu posted:The "It was how they talked back then" defense would hold more water if the slur in question was coming out of a character's mouth and not the narrator's. Narrators are often assumed to be the point of view the reader should be able to trust. Even if the narrator is meant to be an unreliable ignorant doofus, that's a challenge to convey in an actual novel and almost impossible in comic strip form. None of which has a place in the reception of a comic strip which inherently uses completely different narrative structures unless you're McEldowney and you're writing a poo poo pastiche novel and it's either publish it in the guise of your comic strip to be read by weirdo loyalists or publish it on a blog to be read by no one.

On one hand, I can understand a slur being used to reinforce the historical setting and all its ills, but at A) I didn't trust Brooke McEldowney to handle it well even before I saw it and knew for sure, and B) is the modern newspaper comics landscape the place to do so? The last time something happened to make people other than us take notice was Bull dying in Funky Winkerbean and loving look at how that went. Besides, 9CL is entirely wank strung together with the barest pretense of plot and all its attempts to be otherwise are loving embarrassing. At least Axa is honest about what is is   Huh, ok.

riderchop posted:Garfield I'm glad whoever is assembling the Garfield strip at present is sticking to the mashed potatoes and peas dinner imagery. I know I made an effort post about it years ago in one of these threads but one of the things I loved about Garfield when it was actually hand-drawn was how appealing all the food was made to look. My Lovely Horse posted:None of which has a place in the reception of a comic strip which inherently uses completely different narrative structures unless you're McEldowney and you're writing a poo poo pastiche novel and it's either publish it in the guise of your comic strip to be read by weirdo loyalists or publish it on a blog to be read by no one. The trouble is that he thinks he's writing literary fiction - or, rather, that he would rather be writing (what is in his mind) literary fiction, but is already established in a career that requires constant creative output and there is only so much energy any one person has in a day. This probably accounts for his lazier strips (although he'd take offense at the idea) in which mostly blank panels are presented with some sort of meta-frippery going on involving their edges or a single leg or whatever. I like cats and I used to enjoy his occasional "hallmarks of felinity" installments but the best days of those are quite gone and he's burned through a lot of goodwill in ways I really don't need to explain to this crowd.

That's independent of 9CL being, in fact, complete wank, but even if McEldowney is (emphatically) not the creator who elevates the humble comic strip to the echelons of high-brow entertainment, like he so transparently wants to be, his failing efforts should stand only for themselves; "McEldowney can't do a comic strip of value" shouldn't mean "nothing of value can be done in comic strips" and stand in someone else's way.

It's not that I don't think newspaper comics are a medium where quality art and literature are possible, I do read this thread, after all, it's that I don't think McEldowney (or Batiuk, or Evans) is capable of writing it. loving turn around or cover your eyes, you loving pervert.
