Manuel Calavera posted:Tina's Groove This is a stupid "HURRR WOMEN AMIRITE" joke, despite being done by a woman. Nevertheless, I'm tickled that the agree option is set as default. It's the little things. Manuel Calavera posted:Mother Goose & Grimm Batman: well-known for following laws. GorfZaplen posted:The Phantom I thought this was going to be an arc where the Phantom relentlessly owned this jackass, but instead he's just standing around smirking while literally everyone around him owns the guy instead. He's passed beyond owning and into meta-owning. Mister Beeg posted:Nina's Adventures (December 10, 1993) HURRR MEN AMIRITE I actually like Nina's Adventures most of the time but this joke is basically paleolithic.

Gil Who doesn't love a trip to the local convenience store? Retail  I want to know the juicy details on how she pulled that off. Sabotage a store inspection? Tip off corporate HR with some dirt? Inside job heist of a bunch of valuable merchandise? Murder? And why hasn't she been able to replicate that success at Delman's, especially since their manager is such a sitting duck? Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  That was pretty mean, but IIRC he was just a pile of loose parts in a box back then. Dustin  Eh, the laptop I'm using is a 2005 Fujitsu running XP. On the Fastrack  Just a reminder, Holbrook actually did make a Facebook page for Fistula back in August that has 76 likes. Safe Havens  Oh just fight to the death already.

InediblePenguin posted:This one's really charming, gosh - and it feels more naturalistic than most old strips back then, like I can imagine this entire thing happening word-for-word with real little kids. Best part is how shocked Tag looks in the first panel - I know exactly how he feels, I think I did the exact same thing once as a kid. Not even thinking about it or the fact that it meant my friend was going to get hurt, and now Jay is crying and oh heck, I hecked up Here's all I could find from the Abbotsford Post (12 strips, sorry about some of them being partially illegible, not my scan or preservation): Imgur album. I wikipedia'ed it, and it turns out this was quite a popular comic in its day. These are from early on, though; later, Freckles and Friends became more about teenagers.

don Jaime posted:Lio fails to rub one out. It's rare for Lio to have this much text in it; either Tatulli or his syndicate--I forget which--decided a strip with very little dialogue would sell better in international markets. Whether or not that's working out for them in this age of imploding newspapers, I don't know.

Traditionally pantomime strips sold poorly in newspapers because they were considered disposable. Since they look less time to read, readers wern't as invested as strips with dialogues and very few would complain if the papers dropped it. "Lio" is one of the few that became popular.

I think the dieing guy is the same person in the middle panel there because when the flashback started he was holding his hand up against his head, in the same way they're holding the phones. I have no idea how or why this is important.

Fingerpori - Oh hi, Irma! I'm in some business training conference [Our values] [Objectives] - Looks like we'll draw lots on our objectives now -mme is the suffix for first-person plural, and like other personal suffixes it's used in most kinds of words where necessary: verbs, nouns, postpositions, some adverbs etc. Arvo is "value", so arvomme is "our values". Arpoa is "to raffle, draw/cast lots, have a lottery" etc, also used in a figurative manner ("to pick randomly" or something to that effect), and arvomme (p->v) is "we draw lots". Fok_it later today, I'm going to miss my bus otherwise

Indolent Bastard posted:Mike du Jour I can't believe how lovely this week's gag has been. The setup is "whoops I made the blood pressure cuff so tight your head was inflated". A weak joke, but this IS a cartoon and Mike du Jour, so that's to be expected. And then the rest of the week is "haha your head is overweight." If you're even lucky enough to remember the lame setup the jokes are still completely nonsensical unless the butt of the joke is "haha look at how stupid this professional doctor is" and "haha let's make fat jokes about his fat head" which makes very little sense outside of the very specific context of the strip. gently caress you Mike Lester.

My guess is he's rerunning this to drum up more interest in the hardcopy version. At fifty bucks a pop, he's probably sitting on a warehouse full of unsold crap.
