I'm not sure whether I love or hate what a murderous lunatic Prince Valiant is. I mean, I'm pretty sure I love it, but I'm having a hard time expressing what makes it different from all the murderous lunatics I hate like Dick Tracy and the Phantom.

He's era and theme appropriate, his enemies aren't cartoons and he's not moralizing.

How Wonderful! posted:Yeah I raised an eyebrow when I first saw "Mr. Boop" in here but it's funny and it's deliberately done in more of a newspaper-strip style than a lot of webcomics so I'm fine with it unless there are very very strong and compelling objections, in the same way that if somebody decided to post Tijuana Bibles about Popeye or whoever I'd allow it (or the wolf comic, or Bad Machinery, etc.) But it doesn't have the bonus panels so I can't be assed to be the one posting it.

I'm okay with Mr. Boop if it means Awoo is also posted. Just make sure you the ones you have to for those of us who're reading at work. The Dinette Set proves you wrong. Working Daze is...no. Not today's, no. If you want to go look, it's your own drat fault. Super-Fun-Pak Comix is a superhero I can relate to. Cul De Sac has a good point.

Professor Wayne posted:“Okay, okay! Calm down, everyone! … This monster—would you say he was bigger or smaller than your building? … You can talk it over.” Trivia: The phrase "Is is bigger than a breadbox" was popularized by comedian Steve Allen on the 50s/60s games show What's My Line?. He would ask this when told that the contestant dealt with a product of some kind. On a couple of occasions, the contestant actually manufactured breadboxes.

I've come to accept the fact that Working Daze exists, but Christ almighty I really wish they'd stop trying to be relevant.

You know, aside from the horrendous mockeries of human anatomy attempting to look 'sexy', 9CL also pisses me off with its 'artsy' strips. Here's a strip of a few cats knocking balls around in ways that don't connect in the frames. Here's a Sunday strip with 7/8 panels of dog tail and snow, with one of creepo the dog monster leaping into the air. Here's a strip with one panel of a cat and everything else is just a series of red balls, which is supposed to convey perpetual motion. A strip of a woman at a piano, but there is a cat yowling at the other end, how goddamn droll. If its not pissing me off with perpetually horny idiots pretending to be smart people, its pissing me off by being a waste of space. Like, in this thread we see the old Sunday funnies, which are amazing spreads with tons of details that you can just feel taking up like a full page of Newspaper, making good use of all that room, then you've got a large comic of Edda just having her dress change color in a I guess it ties into his own interpretation of art where music is all about making you feel horny and nothing else that anything artsy he makes is most easily read as either laziness or more horniness.

In today's Jack London: Cpt. Sakai has insult added to injury, or Isn't it always the same with Yale boys?, or What Rasputin lacks in innate charisma points he more than makes up in agility. Or, to stop using stupid D&D references (which I've never played, can you believe it?) Cpt. Suto is just amazingly bad at his job
