raditts posted:I still don't understand the "sun's in my eyes" thing. I keep reading that strip over and over and over, and I just don't get what the "joke" or "message" or whatever was going through Lynn Johnston's twisted loving mind was suppose to be. I think it was supposed to be like the dad is saying the storm is over and now there will be clarity in St. Michael's life. Whereas Elizabeth's happiness is now being sacrificed at his altar edit: drat you cruster! You and your meddling pooch!

The Cubelodyte posted:Someone's about to really relax the sphincter. Now that I notice it, who the gently caress naturally bends back their ring finger, and only their ring finger? So if the whole story arc of (St.) Michael marrying Deanna is compensation for his taking pictures of her corpse, so what is the deal with this arc and Michael's novel? I take it she found him in her basement with a bunch of incoherent scrawls on the wall accusing the Canadian government of planting the number 23 in his coffee and thus she spun it into him being a genius?  You know there's good ol' boy "women belong in the kitchen" and there's just plain wifebeating, let's see if we can't find the cause  Somebody needs a hug

I have never had so much contempt for comic strip characters. I've hated April for years but that was when she was just doing stupid poo poo like putting a button in her mouth and singing "button in my mouf button in my mouf, Aypo's got a button in my mouf" and swallows it (why do I remember this so much  )Now the bitch is gonna get knocked up.

April and Gerald are getting crazy nasty and the fireman's like "I think it's time to put out THIS fire!" or "It's getting a little HOT in here!" and then Elly would stand in the corner laughing her big mouth off while her wormtongue whips around.

Nausicaa posted:Gerald really thought this one through, didn't he? How was he planning to get home with no money even if the Pattersons DIDN'T get home early? I think this is the fault of Lynn Johnston not Gerald. I mean honestly Gerald, as much as he wants muppet pussy, would have had an exit strategy (would you loving cuddle with April afterwards?) BUT IM NOT, AND YOU DIDN'T is by far the worst, WORST punchline Lynn has come up with thus far. Even the sun is in my eyes was hilariously bad in a 80s one liner kind of way. This just reeks of laziness. I hope they have to amputate Gerald's blue balls. They'll find his frozen corpse with icicle tears streaming down his face and the fireman will be like "some things aren't worth crying for" God I love to hate this comic

Holy poo poo, this is courtesy of http://joshreads.com/ Remember that Ziggy wifi comic? Well if it seemed familiar to you:  "Well, it sadly looks like I was right. Despite the fact that today’s Ziggy could have just used the November panel with different dialogue, it seems that the artist has gone through all the trouble of making an entirely new drawing for what’s essentially the same mice-using-wireless-communications-technology joke. To his credit, he managed to make it even less interesting visually this time around." -Josh Reads

tonelok posted:Don't leave out Gerald, he was hauling rear end out of the house to the corner, with a bit of alcohol in him. Naw Gerald's still got an arc ahead of him, after all we need him so that April can be punished for a later transgression Ben is still in emailing phase with Luann and I figure the earliest you can kill him is not for a few comics, because 1) you need to have a enough emails to establish a relationship with Luann 2) the quickest way to kill him would be a FLABAAMM! in the camp he's in Whereas Warren has stated he's going to fly now. Since Lynn likes to throw time out the window we could see Warren dying within the next 2 comics comic 1: "Here I am, Warren the helicopter pilot taking off in my helicopter. I am SOARING with love!" comic 2: "Is that a power line I see before me? BZZZZZT. MAYDAY MAYDAY. Say did you know that mayday comes from the french m'aidez?" FLABLAAM

My guess is that it's all propaganda for the heterosexualist agenda.

And I like how they mention both the corporate ladder and emotional black hole as if they were inversely proportional to each other. CUZ BITCH NEEDS A MAN IN HER LIFE!
