 (by Esplanade)It's 2020 and we're still here posting about an obscure art form formerly found in these things called 'newspapers'.  For the unaware, this thread is for sharing newspaper comics no matter how good or bad. You'll take your Holbrooks along with your Wallace the Greats, and you'll like it. Don't think too hard about the comic's quality,  . And don't worry if nobody's commenting on your comic - that likely means it's actually good, since 99% of the commentary is about terrible comics. That said, the thread rule is that any comic you post must have been published in a newspaper at some point, or else hosted by Comics Kingdom or GoComics since they're the closest things to actual newspapers we have anymore. There are a few exceptions, mostly stuff that you likely wouldn't find anywhere else, such as thread favorite Nekonaughey. Highlights and lowlights of last year include the saga of drunken Wilbur in Mary Worth, almost every comic in the thread featuring a pregnancy arc at the same time somehow, the end of Newspaper Spiderman, Funky Winkerbean attempting to do a poigniant CTE/suicide arc but making it all about Les instead of the actual victims, James Allen getting in a twitter slapfight with one of our posters and writing him into his next Mark Trail storyline just to get back at him, NuNancy (sort of) getting its groove back, Sally Forth doing the time warp again, and Dilbert getting so inexcusably bad it actually got booted off the thread.

Newspaper Spiderman: The sad tale of the world's least competent super hero came to an end last year, with the final comic depicted above. I've slowly been posting old strips starting from 1999, and have currently caught up to 2017.  We are currently in the middle of the Rocket Raccoon arc, where Peter's space son is trying to stop Ronan from destroying poo poo. 1978 comics: I started posting 70s Spiderman because why the hell not. I've recently expanded to include 70s Mary Worth and 70s Rex Morgan since it's not any more effort and they can't be more disappointing than the modern versions, probably.  The current 70s MW involves the scandal of cohabiting before marriage.   70s NSM involves Peter being involved with a terrorist's daughter, and also being extremely angry all the time. I started in the middle of this arc and I'm honestly not sure what's happening in it yet.Dick Tracy is a comic I mostly post because I keep hoping something, anything will happen. Instead we mostly get storylines that start off with a possibly interesting concept and end with a wet fart, and probably a cameo or two from some other comic because that's all Staton/Curtis know how to do.  Locher Tracy is a throwback to a simpler time. A time when the stories made no loving sense, but in a way that was funny and had actual beginnings and ends to each plotline. It also features tiny arms.  Origins of the Sunday Comics is a Gocomics feature where some brave soul has been curating random old Sunday comics for our enjoyment. Sometimes they post an assortment of comics, sometimes they post one comic for several strips. They're currently doing Dreams of the Rarebit fiend.  Footrot Flats is a charming New Zealand comic about the realities of farm life. It doesn't sugarcoat things, so don't be surprised if you see freshly butchered headless chickens running around or the dog talking about eating a dead sheep.

Piping in as your local transman thread OP to say that seriously, please do not post transphobic comics by transphobic people. There's nothing even interesting about how bad it is, it's just a hateful slug spewing the same poo poo we have to deal with everywhere else. It's extra bad timing considering the, well, (gestures to the forums shitstorm happening over the past month and a half). I hate Pros and Cons for similar reasons, even though it's managed to edge away from saying the quiet part loud yet. Dustin also sucks but it provides enough edit fodder that I'm okay with it. 2017 Spiderman  1978 Comics    Dick Tracy  Locher Tracy  Origins of the Sunday Comics  Footrot Flats

2017 Spiderman 1978 Comics    Dick Tracy  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.

Archyduchess posted:I want to give back a bit to a thread that I've gotten a lot of education and enjoyment out of. I'm thinking about posting Cathy and Crockett Johnson's initial 1942-1946 run on Barnaby-- the former because I think it's a fascinating barometer for what a comic predicated on being "relateable" to a mainstream demographic of (white) women looked at through the 70s-aughts, and the latter because it's an exquisite comic. 2017 Spiderman  Bonus edit by Snackmar  1978 Comics    Dick Tracy  Locher Tracy  Origins of the Sunday Comics  Footrot Flats

This was posted just in time for it to go from ridiculous(because our winter has had jack poo poo for snow) to prescient-ish(because we're due to get a winter storm soon).  Also going by the signs, they're in Indiana somewhere. This is your pointless geography detail of the day. Elysiume posted:Why is he acting like Michelle doesn't generally hates Curtis?

2017 Spiderman 1978 Comics    Dick Tracy  And a special feature: Staton & Curtis's Dick Tracy Fanfic! OK, it's actually a fan comic called Major Crime Squad. Hosted on Plainclothes, a Tracy fansite run by Staton/Curtis and a few others(which was also the source for the 50s Minit Mysteries from earlier), taken down around the time Staton/Curtis got involved with the real Dick Tracy strip but helpfully archived on the wayback machine. You'll get one a day until they run out. Why? Because it can't be any more tedious than their real Dick Tracy strips. site blurb posted:Artist Joe Staton and writer Mike Curtis (with inks and letters from Shelley Pleger) put the members of Chester Gould's Major Crime Squad through an adventure featuring two presumed dead criminals and the answers to "What happened to the Space Coupe?"

Some Guy TT posted:I'm not sure how useful that is but it seems like a much better site than imgur, what with its constant crashes and front page loading slowing everything down. Although imgur does keep getting shittier as it tries to convince itself it's a social media site and not an image host, so alternatives are always welcome.

Mysta the moon girl was playing Futura in a production of Metropolis the Flinthearts were putting on. Roboto fell for Mysta-as-Futura and has kidnapped her, and is now feeding her a giant snail. Dick Tracy himself is probably somewhere, doing something. This storyline has been going on for about a month and a half but that's all that's really happened.
