Hey whatup new thread. Time for descriptions!

The Dinette Set is about the suburbianest, whitest suburban white trash. Julie Larson has a lot of hate for these types of people, back back when it was first posted around here people thought it was a "laugh with" instead of "laugh at". The strip ended a while ago and is current in reruns.


Working Daze is a contender for Worst in Thread due to being a comic that's supposed to be about workplace comedy and nerd stuff. What it actually is about a bunch of one-note-personality characters who are either assholes or insufferable nerds being terrible to each other. Despite its Big Bang Theory level of "jokes" it somehow has managed to keep going for years and not be cancelled. Oh yeah, there's also a lot of weird fetish-y stuff in there where people get turned into inanimate objects. It's the worst of the three comics I post and therefore the only one that's not in repeats.


Super-Fun-Pak Comix was originally a parody of newspaper comics by Ruben Bolling, award-winning creator of Tom the Dancing Bug. Originally done as a single page with multiple strips, Super-Fun-Pak Comix is now posted as a single daily strip by person or persons unknown. Running gags include a Quantum Weather Butterfly, Phil Collins, the Ghost of James Caan (who's not dead), and the world's stupidest time traveller.

OK I was being a bit facetious there, but cheques in 2018 just blows my mind, or that there are surcharges for debit/credit cards, several smaller stores here now got signs they refuse payment in cash.
The only thing I use checks for anymore is rent, and the only reason I don't pay it online is because there's a $30 "service fee", which is a thing that apparently still exists.

Any other comic this would've just been a dumb joke, but something about Dustin's dad makes me so fuckin' angry.
It's because Ed is unironically supposed to be the "one sane personman" in the strip. We're expected to identify with him as he rolls his eyes at women/millennials/minor life inconveniences.

Safe Havens

Of all the stupid things in Safe Havens, it's the kid who's always upside-down on the trapeze that drives me insane the most.

I'm pretty sure I've asked this many times, and I probably just always blank out the answer for my own mental health, but why in the gently caress is this kid always hanging off a trapeze?

From what I skimmed, it seems like 99% of the complaints are people complaining about the pacing or expecting it to have serial drama strip levels of story.

It's baffling.
It's bizarre how many people who like newspaper comics seem incapable of see what's good and what isn't.

I don't mean this in a "this thread has better taste than everyone else :smug:" way. When you look at the comments of clearly unfunny poo poo like Nancy or Working Daze, stuff where you actually couldn't point out a joke to someone else, you get people fawning all over it. Meanwhile, there were a ton of people who vocally hated when Judge Parker stopped being about rich white people being handed even more stuff.

I just don't get it.

Whoa! I think you're taking his comics way too seriously. Holbrook is tackling segregation and integration in the context of his made up world and he's not doing it parallel to what happened in the US, because his strip is too lighthearted and kid friendly to really do it justice.
On point of order: he thinks it's lighthearted and kid friendly.
