The Creeps

This is from a few pages ago, but seriously the Creeps is pretty much my favorite comic currently being made. Does it actually run in any newspapers? Who makes it? This mysterious comic :allears:

I don't think I get it. Is the joke that he eats food which is coloured the same as whatever glass he needs to blow or am I missing some finer point?

The joke is that Yacob (the knife kid telling the story) is full of poo poo, but he's sticking to it. Skippy seems to do the gag of "kids talking like they think adults talk" a lot, which I think is a pretty great running gag. I really appreciate the deadpan final panel.

His shirt hanging off his shoulder is pissing me off. It looks loving stupid (especially with the stupid loving red smears that are supposed to be his blood).

Edit: Also, what the gently caress is going on? He told a medic to ignore him so he could stagger off, bleeding profusely, to pester some lady at her home? Is she living right on the beaches of Normandy? Did he wander miles behind enemy lines to find some place populated? Is he even in Europe still?

Don't know if anyone knows this, but Lindesfarne has a tumblr blog (yes, it's official) where she basically writes about the things that happen in the week's strip from her POV. Here's the latest:

quote:

BALL DROP, PART II

By the time the security team arrived on the building�s rooftop the assailants were gone. They only had two boulders in their arsenal, but it�s still impressive that they were able to get both of them up there undetected. During the distraction of the New Year�s Eve party they had been able to gain access to a freight elevator that went up to the roof.
Caniche had not been on duty that evening, but her sense of responsibility was so great that she felt awful for not preventing the danger and bringing it upon Dip and her other co-workers. She thought about leaving, but Kell would have none of that. (That�s Kell; she�s all about family, even the workplace kind.)
That brought up the issue of how to protect her. Living in the same house as a vampire bat, Dip is safe. (Besides, it appears that R.L. actually is honoring his promise to leave him alone.) So where does Caniche turn? She had been renting an apartment, but the assassins had surely located that.
We immediately left the building and drove her to the Dewclaw house where we set her up in my old bedroom. In the morning it became apparent why that had been a wise course of action. Coney had observed the assassins attempting to break into the house, and dealt with them accordingly. She was excused from breakfast on account of having a full tummy.
Analysis of the remains proved that the two were indeed the ones who had arrived from France on a container ship and travelled to Domain to kill Caniche. The company that employed them issued a statement denying all responsibility for the incident but no one believes them.
For now, Caniche stays with the Dewclaws. I hope I didn�t leave too many quills in that bed.

Yes Holbrook does a weekly summary for Safe Havens too on the Safe Havens FB page. It's somewhat useful for going back and checking what happened a few months ago without digging through and rereading the comic archive. Or explaining what the hell is going on which can be a problem in Holbrook strips.

The only way I could get any respect for this strip at this point is if this ended with that guy actually being killed and eaten and he leaves the strip forever.

Slylock Fox

Because Slylock-Land is like a Redwall-esque horror universe where you can pretty much profile various species based on innate traits. The raggedly clothing also gives him away as part of the criminal underclass.

I can vouch that Moomin is very popular in Japan.

Actually, now I'm thinking of the 1969 anime done by TMS Entertainment. Apparently Tove Jansson hated it due to the changes made to the characters and setting; specifically, the violence (Moomin got into fights a lot), and also cars (apparently Moomins driving cars pissed her off). Tove demanded that they fire TMS, and they did. TMS only did the first 26 episodes. After that, production switched to Mushi Production for the last 39 episodes, which was more gentle compared to the rough and rowdy TMS episodes.

A bunch of TMS episodes are on YouTube, if you desire to check them out.

During WWI, to "hooverize" meant to ration and save. Future president Herbert Hoover was the head of the US Food Administration, in charge of voluntary food rationing such as encouraging people to not eat certain types of food on certain days, creating, for instance, "meatless mondays."
