I really thought this was about Taku until the last few panels.

The original Korean actually has a line saying "he's even worse than Taku" in reference to women which I had to cut for space constraints. This creative decision does make a reasonable amount of sense on further consideration. After all, Taku knows that money can be used to buy anime. Why waste money on some woman's sick mother when you could just buy anime instead?

I do not understand the Maria reference. It's presented so bluntly that an alternate interpretation isn't obvious.



Everyone in today's strip is just deciding whether to use honorifics at random. Which is pretty typical for the doctor's office.



This mainly denotes that characters are going out of their way to avoid sounding rude. Although when sir's completely inappropriate I have to try something more subtle.



In another possible character shift we have in fact seen Guy Fenix drinking alcohol and expressing an interest in women before. Although the former was at Dharma's prodding and the latter was extremely abstract and not directed to any woman in particular.

It didn't occur to me earlier when we talked about referring to your family members as "our", like "our Sulo", but another thing that the characters do constantly and is very Finnish is referring to non-family as "last name's first name" e.g. "Smith's John", like in the last panel. I have simply used full names normally ("will get engaged with Eeva Lehtonen") when that happens because I think it will help keep track of the characters and I feel the form you see here is very clumsy in English while "Lempi of Lahtinen" would sound pompous.

I honestly perceived them as holding hands in the first panel, which would've been an amazing direction for a syndicated strip to go, and which made me expect something very different from that "little do they know" in the third panel.

Is it a -thing- in Luann where Tiffany's father is always shown with his back to the reader, or from the shoulders up? Is this supposed to be meaningful, like he's going to be someone we know?

This one's really screwing with me. I didn't think the black stuff was water at first but then when I saw the boat I couldn't remember what I thought the black stuff was. I think I thought it was the sky even though it doesn't look like the sky at all now and I can't figure out why I assumed that.
I think it's supposed to be sky with clouds, but I actually immediately thought sea anyways, so it didn't work for me.

We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.


I'm about 99.9% sure that this never ran in a newspaper, or on an official distributer of newspaper strips like comicskingdom. I've read this strip, and I can appreciate (if that's the right word) it for its sheer :wtc: weirdness, but it's better suited to a webcomics thread, I think.

I thought about posting it in the Tails Gets Trolled thread given the obvious thematic similarity. Making that thread into a megathread for weird copyright violation webcomics seemed like a logical evolution of the concept. I chickened out but even so it would still make much more sense to post it there than here.

if people are going to keep posting that wolf comic i figured i'd post a twitter comic that's actually funny

also it has betty boop in it which is like an old comic, so gently caress it

I only have excellent ideas
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.)

Anyway my phone was raunched out all weekend but it's working again so I'll resume DtWOF soonish.

The idea of Mr Boop being a spiritual descendant of Tijuana bibles is funny enough on its own to have swayed me on putting it in the thread.

So... time to guess how this storyline will play out? Obviously she's on the run from racists or something, but I'm going to with the obvious cliche and say that he and she are traditionally antagonistic species who will fall in love with each other, because they can't tell the species behind the mask.
