Evil Mastermind posted:I love how these Olde Timey comics always go out of their way to explain what's going on. The whole "plot" is in the title, then every character says what they're doing as they're doing it in drawn-out detail.

Ah  The scripting program makes it so each they can just churn out any poo poo they can think of, and it'll of course become a blockbuster hit. Is that how they write the comic as well?

Gil So they actually have all that stuff in the house but Gil's mom won't let him eat any of it as a snack? Why would you get your kid's hopes up like that? Retail  What's with the keyboard? Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Half the fun in extreme sports is the bruises and scars and torn appendages as your friends cheer you on. Dustin  Since when did Dustin get a new car? On the Fastrack  Brevity is the soul of wit. Safe Havens  Perfect! Now it's just like my college dormitory! Tiggum posted:OK, quite aside from the fact that the whole plan (setting up a Facebook page for a company, getting lots of customers to Like it and then selling it) is incredibly dumb, and the fact that Dethany actually cares about this for some reason, if I understand this correctly then the company that they sold their page to is still going to run it as the official FastRack page? They didn't just buy it to get a page with a bunch of followers to use for their own marketing? And how would using Breech's Facebook page avoid the problem in any way? If the new owner would object to you starting a new FastRack page, wouldn't they object just as much to you turning an existing page into a new FastRack page?

This is a minor complaint, but why is the smoke alarm emitting a single note? I've only ever heard them beep. Unless they were different in the 70s? Of course though, I'd imagine most homes back then didn't even have the things. Six Chix  Zippy the Pinhead  Nancy  I'm honest to god surprised that this isn't about a country musician.

Hoover Dam posted:Give it two weeks. Of all the "country" musicians for Gilchrist to memorialize, The Everly Brothers are among the most influential and important. If Gilchrist is going to memorialize dead people, I'd rather he did Phil Everly than some no-name country musician who's never once been mentioned by dozens of rock musicians as a major influence.  I may not like his incessant maudlin memorials, but I'm willing to forgive his less odious choices. ComradeCosmobot fucked around with this message at 05:34 on Jan 5, 2014 |

The Everlys weren't country. The most Phil will get is to have his name scrawled across Fritzi's tits. I'm still doing Lio but ecch.  Red and Rover reminds you the kid is stupider than his dog.  And this is a Sunday-only thing, but it goes back a ways so I may switch to it as the full time comic. It's Mac King's Magic in a Minute. Mac King is an influential magician (well, to other magicians) who's probably best known for the "sticking a fork in your eye" trick. He's apparently had this strip since 2000 but I've never seen it before.

Wanamingo posted:Nancy Plastino was hired as a backup artist for "Peanuts" just in case Schulz died from the surgery he was going through back in the early 1980s. Turned out he didn't, so his strips were never used. Schulz himself didn't know about this until years later.

Piranha Club Dick Tracy  We have another guest character for this new story. This crossover is from Mary Perkins, On Stage, that ran from 1957 through 1979.  Judge Parker  9 Chickweed Lane  Solange must have realized in that last panel that she's wasted her life appearing in this comic.

Quincy, October 30 - November 2, 1973    Best described as Skippy merged with Wee Pals, Ted Shearer's Quincy ran from 1970-86. I'm a fan of Quincy, of both its artwork and the grounded storytelling. Shearer quit a lucrative job at BBDO to draw Quincy, and he's a pioneer just like Morrie Turner. ChickenOfTomorrow fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Jan 5, 2014 |
