I love this because Curtis' dad is laughing at the joke like a real person instead of the usual comic strip thing of looking worried or doing a Jim from the Office face at the camera.

Every comic in that week sucks incredible amounts of poo poo for different reasons.

The first comic after that week long "tribute to Ernie Bushmiller" is five close up panels of Aunt Fritzi in a bikini, and the Boomer comment underneath is about how socialism is bad.

So, yes, that week sucked poo poo, plus the decade or so either side of it.

I'd say someone should tell this man about internet pornography so he doesn't have to jack off to newspaper comics anymore but I'm quite sure he took a bath with the toaster the day he saw Olivia Jaimes' Aunt Fritzi.

The most offensive thing to me about these strips is the size of the artists signature. You should be ashamed to put your name on this uninspired, bland, MS Paint bucket fill tool art in a strip that takes a millennium to tell a boring story. The Sunday strips are even worse, because they have the jaunty lettering in the title card which lulls you into thinking there might be a morsel of entertainment to follow, but oh, no, it's seven panels of a guy on the phone discussing gently caress all.

Please do not interpret my ranting as a demand for you to stop posting anything. I like seeing the comics I don't like - sometimes they surprise me, more often I enjoy marvelling at the continued existence of the banal.

There's a joke. It's mean-spirited and not very funny, though

You see, the common phrasing would be "what did I do now" indicating that the speaker has done something wrong

Dustin has instead asked what he has NOT done, subverting the usual formulation and implying that since he is lazy he is more commonly criticized for not doing things than for doing things incorrectly




Hillarious!

oooooooooh yeah. I missed the word "not". I take back my previous comment and wish to commend Dustin or Zits, whichever one that was, for being the best comic ever made.

Okay, if this doesn't turn out to be a dream sequence, I'm going to put my head through the wall.

Place your bets now!
- It's a dream
- It's pizzagate
- The Clinton impersonator who ate at Montoni's 30 years ago went senile and now thinks he actually is Bill Clinton, he's talking to Moviefone in the above strip
- Clinton fixes everything, so there's no need to worry about ICE and the immigration system it's fine really, see?

I would have the last panel be everyone sitting down for pizza with a photo of Funky/Montoni or whoever and Epstein in the foreground. You could slip it past the censors, it's been a while and they might not immediately recognize him.

Genuinely I can't believe anyone would, in 2020, make a connection between a pizza place and the Clintons that ISN'T a reference to Pizzagate/Epstein.

Jules has stated multiple times that the plan (with the editors' blessing) is to try to pick up new webcomic-audience readers with the logic that most of the oldheads will still stick around to complain. Not sure if it'll work or if it's a good strategy, but there is a strategy there, I guess.

In this installment of The Timid Soul, it feels odd that Caspar's not wearing a helmet.

Look at the detail on that bike. You can actually see the nozzle on the tire on the front wheel. Similarly, you can just barely see the pedal beneath Caspar's left foot. Notice how Caspar's tie and jacket are both flapping in the wind.

Look at those trees in the background. Look at the woman on the billboard.



Caspar would definitely wear a helmet, so I looked it up. Bike helmets are one of those 'much more recent than you'd think' items. Certainly, much later than I assumed. They didn't really exist in any form until the mid 70s, and weren't much cop until the early 90s when the modern type with a thin plastic shell debuted.

I didn't realize until now that the furkini is supposed to be backless. The strap is around her neck and it doesn't have an elastic band so I'm not sure how she's supposed to take her clothes off, especially since the material doesn't look that flexible.

It's spray on asbestos insulation, so she probably takes her clothes off with a metal scraper while wearing a suitably rated respirator.
