F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:This is incredibly gross...and degrading to Carla (is that her name?). "Oh, Les will call out my name during sex. Don't worry about it". My parents love this strip for some reason. Must be a Boomer thing. What, you don't find the idea of never being able to move on from your past relationship romantic? Do you see something wrong with being so in love with a person that you won't allow yourself to even consider marrying another person without hallucinating their ghostly visage* giving a literal thumbs up of approval? Are you one of those sickos who doesn't believe in parading your current partner through the life history of your dead spouse and constantly comparing the two, both of you knowing full well that the new could never even hope to hold a candle to the original? *I almost forgot about that part until I started typing. Back before Carla and Les got married, right after he proposed, they hug, he looks over her shoulder and sees the ghost of Lisa giving the thumbs up. But I'm almost positive it was not healthy, young, happy Lisa. It was old, bald, sickly, sunken eyed, tired of life, Lisa. So not only does he hang on to his dead wife in a disturbing way, but his idealized form for her is dying from cancer. Holy poo poo that is hosed up.

Rand Brittain posted:I just realized that Holbrook's entire awfulness revolves around his unexamined belief that obviously bad things are Good, Somehow. Oh what a surprise, another comic strip writer/illustrator who openly discloses his fetishes in his work is a republican.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:A Very Special series about coronavirus, or do these strips operate on a two week (or more) delay like political cartoons? A two week lead up time would be enough to crank out a corona virus plot. Hell, Curtis is doing one right now, just started a day or two ago.

amigolupus posted:So which comic has more contempt for its titular main character? Dustin or Funky Winkerbean? Dustin. Funky has basically been winning the life lottery ever since Lisa died (which is a really twisted thing when you think about it). And even then, it was life being unfair to Funky. Back in the classic days he had a bully, but that was one guy. Dustin has people actively making choices to poo poo on Dustin at every opportunity, and he hasn't done anything to really earn that hatred. OK, yes, he is arguably a bad employee when he does get a job and that you could pin on him. But being unable to find stable employment, and being unable to get a date are things beyond his control.

Kennel posted:But why? Because a married couple sleeping together in comic strip land is sinful. Also, I would guess that it's kind of like the Sitcom rule of writing. The editor is not going to let you ever do joke A, but that's tame compared to joke B. So you pitch joke B and settle for joke A. Bloom County probably got plenty of negative feedback due to it's political leaning, and this was one of those editorial mandates that said "No, this married couple can't even joke about sharing a bed". Maybe the edit is Breathed defiantly taking all the air out of it, completely neutering the joke.

TeerZombie posted:I would love to see what his henchmen ended up being. He would definitely be caught monologuing His henchmen would all be Ghulk-alikes, in male ballet dancer attire (tights, pointe shoes) and masks that look like Edda's freakish open maw.

riderchop posted:Anything anyone wanna see over Monty? Monty's really hit or miss, and I know he's supposed to be insufferable, but little lord Fauntleroy is not a fun character I seem to remember Pearls Before Swine being pretty good, and I even like the drawn out Sunday length Pun comics. Hell, he even got Bill freaking Waterson to do guest strips for him. How cool is that?

Oof. From what I hear Larson is a genuinely nice guy and whether he's returning because he needs the money, or just has something he wants to say or just create again, I'm all in favor of.

Discendo Vox posted:Is the joke that it's big/not cute? Because all I can think is drat, that's one skilled/dedicated father. That was my take on it. Dad built a robot dog overnight, after a day of work, and it has that typical, homemade, dad-crafted functional bulkiness to it.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Maybe figure out what psychological reasons are causing your daughter to suck her thumb at such a later age instead of hooking her up to some torture device to ensure she doesn't do it? Excuse you, I think you have the Johnston's confused with a couple that cares more for their child's well being than being inconvenienced by said child's behavior. I expect an apology or I'll toss you out into the snow until my guardian angel intervenes.

Johnny Aztec posted:eyyyy, I see the big twist in this caper of Modesty Blaise Somehow I didn't put those pieces together but that makes a lot of sense. By the way, when did this story run? Sometimes I can see the years on the old strips, but not recently.

Kennel posted:Don't forget the seals! This might have been brought up on the first go around, but shouting "Art must contain truth!" in an image with some of the least accurate depictions of animal life must be some galaxy brain level irony.
