Even if D2WO4 doesn't catch on with you, everyone should go read Fun Home. It was one of those I blitzed through in a day, woke up the next morning and read cover to cover again. Highly recommended. The follow-up about her mom, not so much, though.

I always walk street-side under the assumption that if someone is going to get hit by a runaway car, I'd rather increase the likelihood it's just me than my wife or kids. That or puddle splashes.

Haifisch posted:Origins of the Sunday Comics Haifisch posted:Origins of the Sunday Comics It's amusing to see these back to back, like seeing the artist discover in real time the gag works better without any of the dialog. Archyduchess posted:One thing that's almost kind of comforting about these is how acute Bechdel's rage and despair at the trajectory of American politics is throughout these. I mean, it's super depressing that we can trace where that trajectory leads us, but it's also somewhat nice to have a sense of continuity. She becomes a little more caustic and self-aware about it when she introduces Mo but we see a bit of it here with the recurrent theme of being terrified of Reagan's nuclear brinksmanship, which carries over to her attitude towards Bush I in the Middle East. This kind of makes me want to go scan a bunch of Nixon/Reagan era Life in Hell, but it would probably be a huge bummer.

RoboRodent posted:I hate the trope of "women are so mysterious and complex how can any man possibly ever hope to understand them!!!!!!!" A boy becomes a man the day he realizes all the things he wants from a woman, she generally wants back from him just as badly. That's 90% of it. The rest is mostly believing them when they say, "yes, just not from YOU specifically."

One of the things I find endlessly charming about A+J is how the Sunday strips totally dispense with the whole, "disposable top third" thing. Jimmy doesn't even bother, like, "why do a third more work for a third fewer people and waste a gag I could spin off into a daily?"

Savidudeosoo posted:Family Circus is like, propaganda meant to stop us from having children? Right? As a kid-haver, I can see how a person would see it this way. But the actual audience for FC is parents with older kids, looking back on a time their kids were small (and all that entails, for better or worse). The kids doing cute stuff, malaprops, being assholes to each other, misunderstanding the adult world ... it's all stuff real kids do and it triggers a lot of, "Oh I remember when my kid did something a lot like that, how did I ever forget that happened!?" Even that one, the house is a mess, mom's frazzled, but nobody is angry. And every cousin's birthday I drive my kids to, we spend half the ride back talking about whose birthday is next and when it is, and where it's going to be. And I know we're like, 5-6 years from all the cousins being old enough to outgrow being excited over cake and cousins and $10 presents. But in the FC universe, the kids are always that age. And the comic isn't GOOD, it doesn't ever hit, but it's very good at pulling parents' heartstrings even where you think there aren't any.

OK, here's the ones I did and enjoy, anyone feel free to steal them as jumping off points. If someone wants to get wacky with the seagull, PM me and I can send you the PSD. Busy work today so this is probably it for me. I did get the pause in there, at least. A couple of them are too wide, and I'd fix them if I thought people wanted to use them, but I'm dubious.

If we can think of fun text to go next to Neato bird, I think that will work better than jamming in a random other face. "COMIX R" neat-o or something less lovely. Otherwise, this is genuinely my second favorite. I laugh every time I think about it.
