Wikipedia says RIR creator Pat Brady is originally from Kentucky, graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison, and lives in New Jersey. I also found a 2000 interview where he said "Brooke McEldowney is doing fascinating art with '9 Chickweed Lane.'" ![]()

Green Intern posted:Nobody reported her for the scam because...? I wanna say that someone tried and Ann spun a sob story about being duped by a sham company. Re: DtWOF, that moment of Lois realizing she's not the transgressive element in the room is hilarious and reminds me of many of my college friends. It was a shock for them to move from small towns into a major city and realize nobody gave a poo poo.

Count me in among people who are SHOCKED that Luann's narrative didn't delve further into opportunities to poo poo on Tiffany. In the context of Luann as a whole it's bittersweet but hell, I'll take any victory for the last two likeable characters in the strip

Ah yes the DeGroots sleep in because they're not awake and bustling at 6AM I hate that this strip has me defending Luann characters that aren't Tiffany or Les

1) crab Lupin is wonderful 2) I want so badly for Lucas Honeycutt to get sloshed and tank his chance at getting published, but I know in my heart this isn't what will happen. I was picturing a drinking spree meltdown like that guy's sister had right before this story.

I just want to point out that Brooke uses the wrong form of discreet to describe his creepy loving eavesdropping. Discrete means "separate/distinct from"

Vargo posted:Curtis This brought back memories of the arc where Curtis discovered a questionable tape of his parents... it was written to seem like he'd found some intimate home movies but turned out to be footage of their time as dancers on Soul Train.

Been meaning to pop in and say how thrilled I am that Lucas Honeycutt is having a tantrum over his editor saying that he needs her, and is leaving town. gently caress off forever. I know that's not how it will end but it's nice to dream sometimes.

amigolupus posted:It's not even like he overheard them criticize his bullshit that makes him reevaluate himself, he just decides to go away because ?????? This whole storyline is about Lucas doing poo poo on impulse without a single thought to the people who are worried about him, so it's very fitting that he does it to the end. Apartment 3G sure loves introducing obnoxious characters that we're supposed to like. I'll admit I didn't get a clear read on his reaction but until the strip says otherwise I interpret it as his pride being wounded that his editor says he needs her. Because the gee-shucks good ol' country boy wrote the Great American Novel and gosh golly it should stand on its own merit without you fancy city folk publishers!

FrumpleOrz posted:At one point, she time traveled into the future to get some training before they launched into space. Kind of like the end of Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. I don't remember if they ever stated how long she was gone but I think we're supposed to assume she's at least in her fifties at least. I wanna say she time traveled for all the training to be an OBGYN so she could deliver...herself

CommonShore posted:It's more of a genuine emotional exploration than anything Batiuk has ever done. One of Watterson's best, imo. Imagine FOOB trying to do this. For Cruel Little Stories the best I can come up with is that Dad didn't have anything for them to do so played up shoe polishing as a super fun activity, Mom is annoyed he didn't actually do anything fun with the kids and preemptively polished the shoes to keep him from pulling that poo poo again

This man really thinks a training bra is a device that trains your breasts to grow. In happier news I've really loved this week's modern A&J. The theme is fun and they don't explain the joke at the end of every strip. Holbrook could never. Funky's ICE deportation arc has disgusted me in ways I cannot yet put into words, but I am toying with the notion of writing to my local paper about dropping the strip.
