How Wonderful! posted:DtWOF #75 Would people be interested in Leonard and Larry, a long running gay gag/storyline strip, as a counterpart to DTWOF? It's not nearly as deep, but still pretty entertaining, and has a nice touch for farce for a storyline strip.

I believe Larson wrote in one of his books that he drew his brothers for this comic. Somebody fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Jul 25, 2022 |

Because of the way the dog is shown to be running straight down the path, Jams just implied that it swam through the water close to the edge of the waterfall. ![]() This really makes me believe that the story with the orphan and the forest fire was drawn by someone else, because as bad as the art was, there was some thought put into the placement of characters and the background that makes the sequence of events easy to understand. Margo's look of disgust sums up this storyline very well. Vargo posted:Soooo is Mark just not even gonna TRY to look for his dog or is it another Dr. Vargo situation? It's definitely the latter. Rusty is freaking out that his dog has been missing for an entire day but Mark tells him not to worry. Because surely the huge storm yesterday couldn't have made the forest muddy and made the dog fall down a ditch or something. ![]() The Bloop posted:That looks like a Get Fired From The Funny Pages level tweet Didn't someone link an article a while back written by one of the people that manages which comics gets sent to newspapers, and they were talking about how they used to like Jams' taking over Mark Trail, but all the recent storylines have been so dire that he's this close to firing Jams? This seems like it might be the final straw if they saw these awful Tweets.

holbrook can't be consistent with how people in Murder Hellworld use their sense of smell, can he one story, spraying on some rabbit pheromones and nothing else is a perfect loving disguise another story, somebody standing next to a gopher can't tell that he's a gopher because he's wearing a mask.

Kelly is desperately trying to make the Kudlicks more sympathetic by slowly turning Dustin from “out-of-work twenty-something” to “literal idiot manchild.” Like at this rate in six months we’re going to see adult diaper humor.
