Happy new year, new thread. I wish I had something to start posting this year but comic strips don't really intersect me much outside of a few webcomics I still read (and I don't think anyone here wants me to start posting 17 years of 365/366 Schlock Mercenary comics a year.)Johnny Walker posted:Mary Worth is a serial drama strip about a retired widow living in a condo in Santa Royale, Calif., who meddles in the lives of her neighbors, friends, family, and anyone that crosses her path, really. As mentioned above, right now Wilbur is having his heart broken, and this thread is in general agreement that he deserves everything he's getting.

Strontium posted:I posted it and even I think it's an edit. That I somehow got from comicskingdom. For goodness sake, the punchline in the final panel is edited out and it's just a pastejob of the third panel so the new joke is that he's staring at her boobs! Wait, that's not an edit? ...I didn't know you could run something like that in American newspapers.

Vargo posted:Wait, what is the joke supposed to be here? "lol, drat those kids and their active interest in reading!" Go Set a Watchman is the recently-published first draft of To Kill a Mockingbird. It has a massively different narrative structure to the final work, enough so that it was originally marketed as a sequel. A stylistic comparison of the two is actually quite interesting, not only due to the differences in the way the events in the plot are approached (Watchman views them primarily through an adult Scout's flashbacks) but also because Watchman was the first full manuscript she ever wrote and the released novel is basically a polished version of what Lee originally sold and what would, over the course of a few years and several more drafts, become Mockingbird. The joke is the drat post-millennials are doing their research and taking an active interest in reading, how dare they.

I gotta admit, I'm actually kind of enjoying Les doing a little Statler and Waldorf thing in the background.

Shirt, mullet, face of an actor who's starting to get too old to pass as a high school senior...

Whereabouts in the chronology are we? I can't wait to see what she does to butcher the rerun of the arc where Lawrence comes out.

Kai Tave posted:I mean I get that this is Intelligent Life's schtick but this is the most blatant masturbatory self-insert pandering I think I've ever seen outside of Least I Could Do. "Oh supporting character, my fat goony socially awkward boyfriend is just so wonderful. Who would have known he isn't...that guy." It's not even vaguely groan-funny anymore. It's just really loving sad. I feel bad for Reddick at this point.

Ein cooler Typ posted:in Canada, milk comes in bags, so these accidents can't happen We use cartons on the west coast. I have never had milk in a bag but I suspect it's easier to pop a bag full of liquids than it is a carton full of liquids. Regardless, Foob is a terrible comic strip written by a terrible woman and it surprises me that people have such a high opinion of Canada when we export such things as Nickelback, William Shatner's Tambourine Man, apartheid, and Foob.

Some kind of animal-human transformation fetish thing I'm sure. Basically Holbrook is a poo poo artist in all senses and whoever gave him any sort of syndication deal or whatever it is that compels people to post it in the comic strips thread should be demoted to janitor and not given access to any mops.

New Nancy is meta as all hell and I like it. The person/people behind it must just love pissing off the Gilchrist fans. e: Also reiterating something I posted months ago: I sincerely believe Reddick is a goon with a humiliation fetish who reads this thread in earnest. Every time we get riled up about something specifically horrible in his strip it drags out for loving ever. This is the only explanation I have for that trash goddamn cartoon that makes sense.
