I think you're being very charitable on One Big Happy, but I suspect I may have also said that last year

StrixNebulosa posted:Funky Winkerbean was spoiler-tagged for the entirety of that arc, so something was done. Additionally, an insensitive depiction of an illness isn't the same as hate speech. Ignoring isn't the best solution, either - letting hate speech go unopposed is a great way for it to push its way into a community and then get more extreme. Ghostlight posted: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. Purely as a comic, Dilbert is probably one of the least consistently lovely out of the lovely ones. It had one transphobic arc recently, no doubt at all that's reflecting Adams' own views, but 95% of the time it isn't. Dustin is lovely every single day. I get banning Dilbert from the thread because it's a reminder that Scott Adams is doing his thing, but a lot of comics are cut from the same cloth and it seems they get a pass because their creators are staying just below the line with overt social media statements while regularly crossing it in the actual comics.

You know who I am? I'm Johnny Two Hats. This hat story is pretty baffling even for Billingsley but at least he's trying to make it a thing in the comic unlike the Working Daze guys with their water bottle who just put the backstory on Wikipedia. I will say, though, that the new hat makes Curtis pretty bottom heavy, visually speaking.

Haifisch posted:I've decided that unless this arc is actually interesting somehow or unless there's a surprise contingent of people really into modern Tracy, I'm going to stop posting it after this arc. This isn't even bad in a fun to hate way, it's just boring. There's only so many times I can make fun of the stories getting constantly sidetracked by Flintheart bullshit before it gets old.

I think you're right and I think that may have been the first reappearance of Splitface. And I also think it's possible that wasn't the first instance either.

Gloomy Rube posted:Dustin's artist is the creator of 'Gil', it's the author who has the crummy opinions. I think a goon got an email interview with them a couple threads ago about it. I do dimly recall that interview and that Parker came off as a reasonable guy in it, buuuut even then he's still putting himself in Kelley's service each and every day drawing his strip, and it takes a lot more than drawing a video game accurately to make up for that.

Ashsaber posted:So, as someone who hasn't even been reading these threads for a full year, can someone give me a cliff's notes explanation of how and why there are moon people in Dick Tracy? Because suddenly, from my perspective, there's literal magic powers in the strip and you can easily acquire giant, cornucopia sized snails from the moon as a regular thing? What?

He looks actually good in this. Like a slightly more detailed Tintin character, and I realize that's against the point of Tintin. Can someone quote the Morning Call article for us poor Europeans who are being locked out?

Do you think Curtis may, at some point, get new shoes? I feel like there's some panel real estate to be gained and it'll be good for three weeks of strips minimum.

I'd just like to remind everyone that James Allen spent something like a week setting up an elaborate story about clowns where the punchline, such as it was, was "the phrase 'Wilhelm scream' exists", and his pride in coming up with that stellar gag oozed out of every line of artwork he retrieved from the folder. Spending a few months on a storyarc in exclusive order to, in his mind, dunk on a twitter person would seem entirely reasonable for such a man.

The Bloop posted:The way some of you people talk about certain strips is a but worryng. Character assassination because Team Evans had something against Bets for being a Strong Woman.... You know she's a fake shallow character that they literally invented from nothing fairly recently, right? She's literally whatever they want her to be. There's no one there to defend. It's not even like she's an established beloved character like Picard
