Retail can be a bit repetitive, but it handles rear end in a top hat characters better than Kevin and Kel ever has. I'm more worried about Stuart based on the lack of phone calls than I was ever worried about serial killer wolf monster RJ.

Heaven help us if Tiff knows some "secret" about Bets which is why she's reacting this way. What would it be; Bets is non-binary, poly, or undocumented? Trick question, the comic is too hamfisted to consider any of those off without tipping its hand.

Maybe Luann will go the "Sports Night" route and his new GF has her own porn site. And Isaac says a thing. And a guy's brother makes TV tubes! The last season kind of blurs together.

The latest twist in Intelligent Life isn't doing anything to dissuade me from my "Black Mirror/Rick and Morty" style reading of the strip. Real humans are forced to act out Skips fantasy of him being in a sitcom but Skip doesn't realize that's what's going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1jWdeRKvvk

There's already a bat-kid in the other comic, and Holbrook seems to hate using the same species twice as a general rule.

Genetics is Holbrook's Checkov's gun. Lady scientist is going to get pregnant in the future and her new kid will be half shapeshifter.

They don't explain why the baby is pale as her dad either. This does happen with some biracial children, but I don't know that Holbrook gave it much more thought than that.

Thanks for reminding me of this song from that album. It's the closest thing to a drunk guy impersonation that I actually like. Or he actually got drunk before singing this song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOT-XHsG4ss

amigolupus posted:Was this the rabbit "hate group" whose high crime was trying to overturn the system so they would no longer be in danger of being murdered and cannibalized, or did K&K have some other hate group that I don't know about? It might have been the TERF-analog hate group that hated a wolf that transitioned into being a sheep. Or the racist-analog hate group that hated the farmer wolf for farming and not being a herbivore.

An evil racism/miscagation storyline where one partner is royalty would be very topical given how the Brits treat Meghan Merkal and Prince Henry. So, of course, Holbrook hosed up that idea too. Edit: I still don't know how I know that one of them is a princess somehow.

Fort Knox gives me "Origin of the Sunday Funnies" vibes. Specifically back when they were starting to figure out what did and didn't work in the format. Like, using sequential panels. Or jokes.

Today's 9CL reminds me of my birthday a lot. It was today, and my mom made my birthday party all about her. How painful it was giving birth to me and my sisters, what the experience of giving birth was like. There were also really shallow, superficial comments about how horrible the holocaust was and gosh it was so horrible and wasn't it horrible? That feels like the fate that will befall those poor kids. A fate where the most important things will always be putting their parent's wants, needs, and desires front and center.

How Wonderful! posted:I tried to explain Kevin & Kell to my wife today and eventually just gave up and said it was Beastars for perverts and 90 year olds. I'll give it a go. Holbrook decided to make a comic with a milquetoast, Aaron Sorken, truth is in the middle sensibility. Except half the characters are predators and half is pray and murder is legal but self defense is not. Holbrook inadvertently created a comic that critiques his world view but he either didn't realize that or he didn't care so long as people kept paying him to draw boobs on animals.
