Calaveron posted:It's called Nancy, a zombie strip that was somewhat amusing and even sometimes funny back when done by its original author, but is now devoid of all humor sans what we can get from making fun of the current author whose interests include country music, christianity, being a talentless hack riding the coattails of what, 60 years of popularity, and tits. Oh, I now what Nancy is. I was asking what the hell was with it as far as this particular strip goes. As in, it isn't a joke, or even "inspirational", just what was the point of it?

Gil "No, because I don't listen to cassettes given that we live in the 21st century." Retail  Are you sure it's not because you just fired your assistant and are now understaffed? Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  More accessories? New robot companion? Dustin  I think those are cougars, Dustin. Try chatting back. On the Fastrack  I Googled "Dethany". About 5,350 results and mostly referencing this comic. So congrats for choosing a name no one else thought of I guess. Heaven's Love Thrift Shop  Oh Dag!

Raskolnikov38 posted:So I was raised a filthy papist but why are they holding shot glasses of the communion wine? It's a protestant thing, though not all protestant churches, of course. That's not wine, either. Everybody gets a little tiny plastic cup of grape juice and a tiny little Chiclet-sized cracker and has to hold onto it while the pastor reads a communion-related bible verse and then when he says go, everybody eats their cracker and chases it with the juice. I don't know how widespread it is, but that's how they did it in every nondenominational protestant church I've been to. Usually only one Sunday a month, too.

When this strip was first posted a few threads back, someone remarked that Big Time looked more like he was celebrating winning a game of Mario Kart than that his evil plan was succeeding. I remember this, because I saved the strip to my hard drive with the filename, "Big Time wins Mario Kart." I'm not sure why I felt you all needed to know that.

Classic Popeye Sunday shows us where reading will get you.  Pogo: Now that all the noses are back in place, Albert helps his comrade dig out...or in. Whatever's quicker. (January 18, 1970)  First-Gen Blondie, in which we once again hoist the "This strip unfair to transients" sign. (c. 1941)  It's funny because he was filthy and starving!

Pretty much this. The Methodist church I was raised in used little squares of bread instead of crackers, but I can still remember the tiny little cups of grape juice. They're nowhere near as big as a shot glass:  In this case, I'm hoping it's grape juice anyway and not wine since it's been established that Dag is a recovering alcoholic.

Ha ha, yeah! Take that, you filthy unionizer! Bang, Zoom! To the Moon Comix! Pooch Café   The panels are silent, but all throughout his vet visit, Poncho is singing a chorus of one and one thousand voices in dissonant unison. Impossible notes forming impossible chords, and the lyrics are all the events that have come to pass, and all those that will. Those who hear a single word are driven mad. Those who hear them all are worse off, for they are given true sanity. Ballard Street  He's been through this before. She's going to set that rocket off indoors no matter what. THE THUNDER CART cannot be stopped.
