Many of these strips need no photoshopping, they are that :psyduck:

Today's - looks like Liz and Warren are hooking up :gooncamp:

The Sunday strip was April babysitting and getting paid. Now we've gone back in time to before the party. That's some good storytelling, there.

Like somebody said, it's the Battlestar Galactica school of story telling.

Samurai Sanders posted:

All I want is a reliable way to tell which are the authentic, pre-photoshopping strips being posted in the thread. In the previous threads, I wasn't sure with some of them.

Is that a reflection of the quality of photoshopping or a reflection of the strips or both :confused:

He's too happy, something bad has to happen, and as long as he's in the picture, Granthony can't move in.

If any kind of forums that revolve around FBoFW picked up on future strip that was accidentally leaked, then we need to circulate a well-done photoshopped strip pieced together from past strips, that revolves around his death. Best bet is to have it with a date of a week or so after the leaked strip, with Liz dealing with the aftermath of his death (since that would be easier to depict than his chopper crashing).

What? Warren having IMPURE, UNFAITHFUL thoughts? HE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO LIVE.

He'll die at the end of this month :woop:

Unless they are setting it up so that he has impure, unfaithful thoughts, and Liz gets screwed over, but then he goes back to Liz, she takes him back, and hence we see him celebrating getting away with cheating or thinking bad things.

On the website today, they prominently feature Grandpa Jim's 86th birthday - wonder when they'll kill him off.

I'm certain that if you look hard enough, and you look long enough, you'll find a place somewhere else on the internet that makes SA's devotion to FBOFW seem as nothing more than a faithless man's lip service in church.

I don't know about that. We find much deeper meanings in her work than her mainstream fans.

It's like our chance to peer into Lynn's world.

I really don't know where the April thing is going - I'm thinking that because the kids still have their clothes on and the parents have left the party, that April will simply be tipsy (maybe have her top off), and like others have said, something happening to the kids she's babysitting as well.

Oh wait, it's St. Michael's kid.

Women's Rights? posted:

Which means that the parents will come home just as St. Michael's kid is standing at the top of the stairs about to fall. The kid won't really fall, they'll be there in time to stop it of course, and then storm downstairs to see a tipsy April and a drunk boyfriend getting roadside.

April will get yelled at, drunk boyfriend will be kicked out. Then drunk boyfriend will probably steal a car and get into an accident or something and we'll all learn a lesson about underage drinking and driving while drunk.

The boyfriend has to die.

This is St. Michael's kid we are talking about. Endangering the life of the offspring of St. Michael means dire consequences for those involved.

Also, Ben in the Luann strip is so going to die :hurr:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Sexual_Attraction

quote:

Genetic sexual attraction (GSA) is sexual attraction between close relatives, such as a brother and sister. It has been observed in relatives who first meet as adults.

GSA can occur as a consequence of adoption, when the adopted children discover their true ancestry and seek out relatives. Although this is a rare consequence of adoptive reunions, the large number of adoptive reunions in recent years means that a significant number of people are affected. It is generally highly distressing to both parties, as this sexual attraction is contrary to their socialized sexual and moral structures, as well as to the legal structure of society.

Several factors may contribute to GSA:

* People commonly rank faces similar to their own as more attractive, trustworthy, etc. than average. Heredity produces substantial physical similarity between close relatives. However, Bereczkei (2004) attributes this in part to childhood imprinting on the opposite-sex parent.
* Shared interests and personality traits are commonly considered desirable in a partner. The heritability of these qualities is a matter of great debate; to whatever extent they are heritable, they will tend to cluster in close relatives.
* Such reunions typically produce complex emotions in all involved.

Normally, when children are raised together in early childhood, this phenomenon is avoided by a form of reverse sexual imprinting known as the Westermarck effect, which appears to suppress sexual desire between siblings.

Actually, what if it's St. Michael and his wife returning that hit him. Remember, the parents left early, but I'm sure St. Michael and his wife have got to be on their way home by now.

The parents have been home long enough to change clothes and get in bed.

What the gently caress were the kids drinking though? If it was wine, evidenced by the bottles, they aren't even tipsy but I guess the whole focus was the risk of them getting caught rather than a "UNSUPERVISED KIDS WITH ALCOHOL IS BAD" moral story.

Gerald is going to be tipsy.

He's going to be tipsy RIGHT INTO THE PATH OF ST. MICHAEL'S CAR.

Even Michael has to come down out of the clouds once a year. He's been celebrating, he's happy, just as he pulls around the corner, FWABAMM!!!! Right into Gerald who's hauling rear end to catch a taxi..

Yes, "Kids + Alcohol = BAD" is going to be the moral.

I just want to say, this cannot happen until monday - tomorrow's strip (March 31st) was already posted a few weeks ago - it's Warren dropping off Liz and talking about flying. Sunday's will be unrelated or loosely related.

So Gerald won't get hit until monday :colbert:

Ben has to die now. Give it a few weeks for him and Luann to talk, and then he dies, and you are looking at fodder for three months worth of strips, minimum.

As awesome as a FLABLAAM for Ben would be it won't happen. Luann just isn't that type of strip. Just watch Ben is going to come out of the closet and get discharged from the military. He will then move in with Luann's brother, and they will have wacky adventures with a dash of homosexual tension.

And Luann will go into full on denial mode about Ben's homosexuality and continue to persue him.
