Hello new thread! My comic is Luann and it sucks! It is a humorous (allegedly) soap strip that deals with the life and times of wholesome girl next door Luann and all her little raggedy friends and foes. It is written by Greg Evans. As of 2012 his daughter Karen (on whom Luann was based) began co-writing. In classic Luann fashion, we are behind the times, still stuck on Christmas even though it is New Years. 19-Year-Old Luann's horrible gift to her father was to clean her own bedroom and her horrible gift to her brother (who just wanted to take her to a movie on Christmas) is to make him clean her room. Thus she gets away with doing nothing and giving nobody anything they want. We are supposed to like her. This is my favorite hate-read.

Transmodiar posted:Page one reminds me: what happened to "The Heart of Juliet Jones" and "Radio Patrol"? I loved those comics.  Comics Kingdom and my Chromebook are no longer on speaking terms. I can't get any of the images over there to load. I don't know what happened. I go back every once in a while to see if images are appearing, but nope. Some day I hope to be able to afford a real laptop and then hopefully I'll be able to post them again, along with my other favorite classics. Until then, this is what you get: This just makes me vaguely remember when (I think) Paul F Tompkins was saying that Jeremy Piven seems like the kind of guy who would bow to you when saying hello in a smarmy faux-spiritual manner. That article about Gilchrist posted:“We don’t have any public comment right now,” said John Glynn, president and editorial director for the strip’s distributor, Andrews McMeel Syndication of Kansas City, Mo. Why?  Not that I ever doubted, but we can throw this on the evidence pile that that assistant's allegations were true.

No way he could do worse than his predecessor.  1. Random colors from the garage swirled together? That sure won't look like rear end! I can see why she does so well in her bullshit art class! 2.

They attempted to go, but they weren't on the guest list so Les wouldn't let them in. He said he'd put them on the list for the next time, but since his mother is presumably attempting to run a scam here, you'd think she wouldn't want the venue-owner's daughter here. Especially since she already abused said daughter's brother and same daughter's best friend. But I guess it's not a problem:  Yes, you three are looking quite daring in your jeans, high-necked sweaters, and vest.

 I feel like Luann would be able to recognize Ann Eiffel... but I'm not 100% sure that they've met in person and going through those archives would be torturous. But Luann would have had to have seen her at Weenie World, right? Or the bookstore?

^^^Slacktivist posted:Yet while the KJV’s use of the word “unicorn” wasn’t the best translation, it also wasn’t quite what we might think of as “mistranslation.” The Hebrew word the KJV renders as unicorn is re’em, and back in 1611, nobody really knew what that word meant. For the translators in 1611, re’em referred to some vaguely imagined mysterious wild creature. And for them “unicorn” also referred to some vaguely imagined mysterious wild creature. So for them, at the time, it was a reasonable suggestion. It was a legitimate bit of guesswork on their part. Tiggum posted:He knows he can quit, right?

 Again supposed to be evidence of Ann Eiffel's inherent EEEEEVIL, but we still haven't seen any more evil than your average commission-based or MLM salesperson. Luann's just a dumbass because I still don't know how she doesn't know who this person is.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different comic, but it seems like when Bad Machinery was posted in the last thread everybody was like, "gently caress off with that webcomic garbage!" and that's why it didn't last long. Not sure what changed since then, but also, I don't really care.  Ghostlight posted:It's 'Red and Rover' Thanks and thanks!

My cats are indoor/outdoor, but I still have a litter box because sometimes when it's cold they don't feel like going outside to pee. I scoop and change the litter and accessories as recommended, but only clean the box itself when I find that one of the cats has gotten sloppy. It seems to be fine. That's someone Luann should have totally recognized!!

 Yes, give a heads-up to the DeGroots so they can hire a lawyer to help them cover their asses, but your very next call after that should be to Souffle Lingerie who will most definitely call up their own lawyers to take Ann Eiffel to the cleaners.

It's important to find somebody who likes you for you, not because you hang with Leonardo and so on. That said, they're in the early honeymoon period of their relationship and if he's not willing to make an effort now, good luck in ten years when she just wants him to stop eating his drat cheetos in the drat bed and put on some drat pants and help her get the kids ready for soccer.

 What in the everloving gently caress, Dez? She's trying to learn to dress sexy in her new body and this is what you come up with? Her sweats complemented her body better. Make her hair bigger and she can play somebody's very professional mom in a 90's sitcom. In other news, Ces Marciuliano and Hector Cantu were on an episode of All Things Considered. If the fact that it's an NPR show wasn't a clue, yes, they do talk politics.

The current storyline in Modesty Blaise hasn't grabbed me yet, but I'll say one thing for it. We know they'll come to blows eventually, but for once the bad guys saw Modesty walking around and said, "Let's leave her alone," instead of "LET'S PISS HER OFF ASAP SO SHE'LL COME gently caress US UP!" 1. You could still date, if that's what you want to do. You didn't grow up together so there wouldn't be an incesty vibe. And you hate your mom, so it's not like if things didn't work out with Tiff it would make family reunions weird. 2. Is Ann Eiffel paying the booking fee? Last we saw, Pru waived that. That was only for the first party, yes, but we haven't seen anything to say whether or not she's paid for subsequent events and we know a dedicated con-woman would try to get around that. 3. All of Tiff's stated goals would still be better served by ratting Ann Eiffel out to Souffle Lingerie and their attack lawyers. 4. Here is some terrible fan fiction. Linked because it's unimaginably awful. I don't recommend it.

Evil Mastermind posted:Working Daze is doing <nerd thing> with special guest <nerd icon>! Now, I admit I haven't watched every single episode of Will Wheaton's YouTube board game series, but I'm preeeeeeeetty sure he doesn't generally wear a Starfleet uniform while hosting. I guess at least there's no "Shut-up Wesley." Thank heaven for small favors. Kennel posted:Dustin Yeah, definitely ask your toady that question. Surely she has nothing to gain by encouraging you to continue bullying the less-favored child. Baby Proof posted:Ballard Street would be a good 20% better if it just dropped the captions. They're clearly not written at the same time as the drawings - I wonder if they're even by the same person. There was a theory that Ballard Street has a different caption writer and artist and that the resulting comic is their way of acting out a long-standing and bitter feud. It's not true. As far as I know, it's all one guy and the comic is about some weird people who live on this street. But I don't care. I still like thinking the artist and the caption guy hate each other.  It's like Team Evans were thinking, "How can we make this arc shittier?"

To be clear, I'm pretty sure the GoComics comment I posted was making GBS threads on Gunther. I shared it because I thought it was funny. Poor Liz doesn't even know she marries Anthony yet! Darthemed posted:Ripley's The resulting furniture looks better than I expected, but still pretty gross.  Now, if you want some comments that don't appear to be sarcastic...  This was today's featured comment.  Of course there's evidence that shows I'm wrong, but I'm ignoring it and I request that you do the same!

But if the person who usually posts Judge Parker does not post Judge Parker, then there will be no more Judge Parker until somebody else posts Judge Parker or the original poster returns. Anybody feel like posting Judge Parker?  Gunther seems to be such a Nice Guy and then you catch him thinking women are property.
