If the bottom right corner of an oglaf is not clipped, hit the next button, there's more comic. If it is clipped, you're done.

There's almost certainly a sex joke somewhere in there but I'm not going looking for it.

I remember seeing one of those "really stoned guy tries to order fast food" type comics, but it was done for a thread in GBS 1.0. This European guy got baked off his rear end and tried to order pizza, and when they asked him what he wanted on it he was just, like, "... mayonnaise?"

I'm sorry that's not very funny outside the context of the comic but "... mayonnaise?" has stuck with me for many a year

e: Bob the Angry Flower is another early webcomic I loved the poo poo out of, but I think it aged a bit less well. Space Moose is just pure counter-culture chaos and a lot of it stands the test of time. There are a few comics that are a bit too grody, but overall it's pretty great.

Both the Space Moose guy and the fellow who does Bob are from Edmonton. The Bob guy is also the brother of Alberta's last (and potentially next) premier, Rachel Notley.

Although At the Mountains of Madness was probably one of the least racist stories HPL wrote? On account of not having much in the way of minority human characters in it.

Strangely, Lovecraft's narrator extends more respect to the Elder Things than his characters commonly do to anyone not a white New Englander. "Radiates, vegetables, monstrosities, star-spawn—whatever they had been, they were men!"

I just imagined Watterson reading through that pap, forcing himself to focus though his eyes slide off it, skin turning boiled-lobster-red, vein throbbing in his forehead, nose running, teeth clenched around a long-dead cigarette stub until he reaches the end, when he lets out a scream of visceral, primal rage as he picks up his monitor and tears it to shreds with his bare goddamn hands.

And then he eats them.

I can't imagine Watterson having a monitor, much less an entire computer

That all sounds about right, but the initiator for the whole thing was when the gods had a feast for which those three were present. The goddess of Strife, Eris, lobbed a golden apple inscribed "KALLISTI", or "fairest", into the middle of the feast, and she was like "lol sort it out between yourselves, peace out shitlords" and then the whole thing you said happened.

Der Kyhe posted:

Finnish also have their own pantheon of gods, completely separate from the Norse in West and slavic in East. And obviously, everything was "chistianized" after the 12th century.

Fun fact, the original name for the Ukko's representative, a bear, was considered sacred "True name" of the chief god and saying it out loud was very no-no and brought bad times, so several work-around names were invented. For example the current most common Finnish words for bear '(karhu, or also mesikämmen, kouvo, kontio, otso, metsän omena, metsän kuningas or nalle) are all work-arounds, and the original word for bear is believed to be lost since we really didn't write that stuff down until the Swedes showed up in the 11th century.

Assuming etymonline isn't loving with me or oversimplifying, "bear" is also a way of referring to the creature without using its real name, as it comes from a Germanic word meaning "the brown one". Other northern cultures also went out of their way to provide new names for the bear. But the Greek and Latin words, "arktos" and "ursus", both come from the original PIE root. Incidentally, this means the brown/grizzly bear's scientific name, Ursus arctos, means Bear bear. The Arctic is the land of bears. And the Antarctic is the place away from bears.

We got really weird about bears.

There has been a thread series in BSS for .... like a decade now, that is for Newspaper comics. People cover modern stuff, but the old strips are represented as well.

Aunt Fritzy has been ran a few times. Currently into the run of Thimble Theater, though we are well past the point where Popeye becomes the main character.

One person is running the old Prince Valiant Sunday strips from the 1930s.

It was funny seeing y'all talk about this

I know about the Newspaper Comics thread, I just never visit it cause it moves so g'drat fast.
