I've finally finished my traditional new year ritual of catching up on the six months of thread that I missed! How long will I be able to keep up this year? Six months. It's always six months. My comic strip megashelf grew over the holiday season, and one of my acquisitions was the new Nancy collection.  Yeah, that tracks. It also includes the Vulture interview, which still makes me laugh because I'm petty. Vulture posted:What was the note you wrote down for the famed “Sluggo is lit” Labor Day strip? Did you just write down “Sluggo is lit?” Here are some lovely cellphone pics of the pages I think are most relevant to this thread's interests.    I love that little Cul de Sac Nancy.

I found a badge maker at a thrift store, and I can already tell I will be going mad with power. (It didn't actually turn out that great because it was a lo-res picture I got off google and I didn't get the plastic lined up right but I'm still happy with it, which is the most Nekonaughey thing of all.)

If Jam gets to write Vargo RPF then I get to write the Mark Trail fix-it fic where he meets a yeti and all his choices are validated. Unfortunately, I only know how to write one thing, so the yeti is going to turn out to be a shapeshifting hunk and they're going to fall in love.

I'm thinking about getting a new av as long as I'm buying my way into the gang (I'm willing to pay the price for my bad timing  )But I don't actually have anything in mind. Are there any good Nekonaughey avs that got made but never used?

Oooh--are there any good panels of Nekonaughey having Success with either sweets or tea? Maybe I could gif a nice back-and-forth with some no-coffee face. The Duality Of Cat. I got a tag!! Thank you, How Wonderful!

I've been lurking since the first Foob hate-read and I only kept my middle school username because it's in the OP of this thread (with the very bad font I made). I'll lurk the discord but it's really not the same (I'm unpretty over there, what's up). Hopefully we can seize the means of posting, or at the very least get another site going. If someone makes a comic strip mastodon server I wanna be the first to know. (And starting up a MyBB forum is easy as gently caress but since getting people to join is a nightmare, welp  )

fun hater posted:im pretty disheartened that so many people inexplicably leapt to such a bizarrely negative reading of what appeared to be a pretty straightforward comic Yeah, same. I can't imagine looking at it and thinking, "the woman on the right is the relatable one in this comic". I'm also not a fan of the idea that it needs to have a big sign over the white woman's head saying "she's the one who is wrong and sucks" to avoid confusion.

It looks like the new Mark Trail artist is going to be a woman who gives Cherry an undercut and turns Mark into eyecandy. quote:Rivera does not see her take on “Mark Trail” as a reboot. Instead, she describes it as a “blowup,” a bigger focus on the characters and themes of the strip but with a modern sensibility, which let her put her degree in electrical engineering and a background in STEM to use. She’s also updating Mark’s look. “I kind of drew inspiration from Jon Hamm,” she said. Among the other enhancements: His wife, Cherry, and their son, Rusty, will receive more prominent roles.

Kennel posted:Dustin I know this is from a week ago but I'm bringing it back to complain because I have one of these bastards.  That top on the left? That's the kind of thing we're talking about. It's basically a sports bra but they make it fancy and it matches your leggings so you don't have to wear a shirt. It's the kind of thing you buy because it looks good on the mannequin and it's on clearance. Except mine, at least, still has hooks in the back like a regular bra. While also having that criss-crossing bit. So there's no point to having the hooks, because no matter what, I have to pull it on over my head. Except I forget that and leave the hooks loose, which means straps go every which way and the garment has no structure. And then when I'm standing there trying to recover from almost choking myself with my arm sticking out from between the wrong straps, I think, "god loving dammit, I'm the lovely Dustin dad." It's easy as hell to put on a hanger though.

Hey, weird question: if I change my username to something I didn't come up with in middle school, can the OP be changed to have my new username? Not that I'm especially proud of the unspeakably lovely font I made as a teen, but, you know.

Vargo posted:Does anyone remember who used to post Condorito or even what thread it was in? I stuck Condorito in the search bar of every thread back to 2014 before giving up, which seems way too long ago but also the passage of time is bullshit. It's possible search is just being fuckity so hopefully someone else has a better memory for Thread Lore.

The stripes made me think they were kittens, like maybe he was supposed to take them in a sack down to the river (but then he hid them in the furnace instead). That feels like something that would have happened often enough to be Relatable Humor.

Parahexavoctal posted:In this installment of The Timid Soul (September 15, 1927), it's interesting that HT Webster assumed everyone would grasp 'straw hat season' as a universal, with a fixed endpoint. I'm late and someone already mentioned the Straw Hat Riots, but quote:Summer’s end in the late 19th and early 20th centuries meant that men had to retire these caps until spring. By unwritten rule standards, this one was quite specific—September 15th (aka “Felt Hat Day”) was the universally-accepted deadline. As the New York Times only half-jokingly explained, any man who wore a straw hat after this date “may even be a Bolshevik, a communal enemy, a potential subverter of the social order.” Exactly eight months later, on May 15—but not a moment before—a fellow could again don his straw hat, safe from ridicule. It looks like the situation peaked in 1922 and by 1925 the president was seen wearing his hat out of season, so the joke may be that Felt Hat Day is an old dead meme and no one actually cares anymore (which is why only Caspar was afeared enough to put his felt hat on in a timely manner)
