Ghostlight: Sep 25, 2009; maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me

Hello, I post translated Matthew Nekonaughey from mr. q-rais, who is kind of insanely prolific and has many other comics that occasionally get posted as well, and who last year drew the single greatest official Pokemon art.

I post new comics under the title Nekonaughey, but as there's no set schedule or anything and it's just whenever q-rais feels like doing one I also work my way through the back catalogue and post those as Classic Cats.

Why is this grown man hanging around unrelated fourth graders over holiday break?

The titular Frazz is a man in his mid-thirties who is so wealthy he need never work again but chooses to continue serving as a school janitor as it affords him regular interactions with pre-teens with whom he builds a relationship that continues outside of school hours yet somehow the comic continues as if this is extremely normal behaviour that doesn't warrant official intervention.

By the same token Mother from Another Country is currently in its fourth season. Kakao has used some sort of technical wizardry so that even using shenanigans like disabling javascript or downloading the webpage directly won't provide me with images that can be edited and rehosted.

Oh man, they really locked things down.

That said, taking a quick look at it, if you open up the Developer Tools on your browser, and go to the Elements tab, there'll be the css rules on the right - find the one titled * and just edit it in a new rule that reads "pointer-events: all !important" then you can drag and drop the images onto the desktop. That said, all the images are called resource.jpg because of the way they're streamed, so it's still a real hassle.

Changing topics, I like this thread title but I wish we'd gotten more time with "WHEN A MAN'S CONSCIENCE IS GONE HIS SOUL IS DEAD." That was a fine title.

It's now enshrined in the OP forever.

Who is Rudy even supposed to be talking to?
Did his girlfriend just turn around and say "Rudy, what the gently caress have we been doing here for the last couple of minutes with these hockey sticks attached to these drones above this ice? Is it some kind of drone lacrosse?"

Transmodiar posted:

I want to read Dilbert and Pros and Cons. If someone wants to post them, they should be able to. Given the glut of comic strips here that are lovely for other various reasons - Luann, 9 Chickweed Lane, etc. - it's pointless to try and single something out. Just set the poster to ignore and move along.

i think the difference is that those other comics are lovely because they're not funny and poorly written and a bit weird. dilbert is lovely because its creator uses it as a mouthpiece for his regressive political views on the validity of other people's identities and value as human beings.

My Lovely Horse posted:

Dustin is lovely for very close to the same reason. One Big Happy and Luann have entire characters set up to be nothing but strawmen for the creators' backwards views. Pros and Cons, well. Not a week passes where a Foob strip isn't called out for featuring emotional child abuse.

For all their faults none of those have ever suggested that their broad targets, such as the young; the poor; the socially aware; or semi-autobiographical people from forty years ago, only exist as an untreated and indulged mental illness.

P&C does get close.

the reason you use a rubber band is because if you just knife the balls the lamb will bleed out and die or get an infection and die. that lamb is being killed with that knife regardless of how wal uses it.

It makes a lot more sense when you put it into its correct context of Reagan parroting a literal translation of a Russian proverb in an attempt to seem relatable to the Soviets during the Cold War.

That great, because I have no idea what the original pun was supposed to be (other than "pig misunderstands a word").

"Skol" is a Swedish/Norwegian toast so he thinks the guy is telling him he has a drinking problem.

I absolutely loved Cats with the caveat that I saw it in a private screening with a bunch of people who were explicitly there to experience the movie as if it were a showing of The Room.

BigDave posted:

It's been described as a bad acid trip, how far off am I?

It's visually incoherent with a plot that takes place almost entirely within incidental lines between songs about who the new cat on screen is and the word jellicle is somehow repeated so often it loses all meaning despite not having any to begin with and at some point your brain just starts blocking out all the lyrics in self-defense and you concentrate on just counting how many cats are wearing human shoes just to give life meaning but it didn't leave me paralysed in a chair suffering genuine fear that I might never be able to move again, if in fact I ever had because memories of life before the chair seemed so distant and indistinct now.

I haven't had anything to post in a while so here's this, with a note that while Oz's title seems a little suspect I did triple-check that was more correct than not and then figured it was amusing enough not to editorialise.
Also, I expect to soon receive a package of a certain vintage New Zealand comic which I will endeavour to scan and post as quickly as I can.
