Drakyn posted:I will say this much about FOOB: few other strips have offered such ...overly-well-communicated imagery for smelly disgusting objects. The combination of wavering stank fumes, flying dirt particles, and spraying ambiguous droplets always has and always will make me feel just a little sick looking at them. Zelda is really good at this, too.

Poil posted:I like this, look at all those facial expressions. The marks on the curtains are different in every frame and even the shadow of the blanket on the floor. Yeah, I started posting old Garfield since no one else was, and I wanted to find out, along with everyone else, if it was ever actually any good, or if it was always just a merchandise machine with a comic strip attached to serve as (eventually vestigial) source material. I remembered liking the books that collected the strips a lot as a kid, but kid brains are what they are. I personally concluded that it was, in fact, good: merchandising aside, there were actually good gags, and it was clearly hand-drawn with craft and care. I never did the reading to find out when exactly it stopped being this way — part of the experiment is that I'm reading it one day at a time, allowing myself to be surprised, same as everyone here.

Arlo and Janis Tina's Groove Classic (May 16, 2009)  Arlo and Janis Classic (May 16, 1999)  Coming across this one in the archives felt weird, because school shootings just aren't the world-stopping news they used to be. In any case, this A&J is, I think, made excellent by its last panel. I try not to comment on the comics I post, generally, but one of the reasons I like doing the "today and across three decades" posts is the cultural contrast they provide. The Tina's Groove above, joking about people microblogging their lives on Facebook, seems almost naive eleven years later now that pretty much everyone you know has had their brains hopelessly scrambled by the intermittent reward loops of eighteen different social media platforms. And yeah, if you have (American) school-aged kids, they might get shot to death in class one day. Garfield Classic (May 16, 1989)  The full-size source for this one was missing. Sorry.

nishi koichi posted:yeah. tinkersons is legit now. i feel like the tide turned around when the family went vegetarian (possibly before?) It started in April 2013, which makes it really quite young as far as your family-focused gag-a-day strips are concerned. Arlo & Janis, the point of comparison I'll use, started in July 1985. I don't know what Bill Bettwy's plans are for Tinkersons, but he's clearly a solid writer, and if his art gradually improves and the writing and character development remains interesting and engaging, it could become something very special indeed.
