Luann Oh, go gently caress yourself Luann.  Because I'm into self-punishment apparently, I checked out the comments for that first one. In amongst the expected laughing at Tiffany and expressions of relief that the comic is back to making GBS threads on her instead of treating her like a person was this moment of clarity:  How nice! Might there be hope for the GoComics comment section after all? (No, of course not.)  Oooooh, ok. I see. Greg intended her to be the villain, thus the reader is not permitted to find positive traits and sympathize. Thanks for clearing that up! In other news, I guess I let my subscription to the comics kingdom lapse. More comics to come later when I get around to renewing it.

Wanamingo posted:Nancy Gilchrist should have chosen a song that doesn't have creepy subtext. quote:The lyrics in this duet are designed to be heard as a conversation between two people, marked as "mouse" and "wolf" on the printed score; they have returned to the "wolf's" home after a date, and the "mouse" decides it is time to go home, but the "wolf" flirtatiously invites her to stay as it is late and "it's cold outside."[3] Every line in the song features a statement from the "mouse" followed by a response from the "wolf". Usually the "wolf" part is sung by a male and the "mouse" by a female. Even as a kid I thought this song was skeevy as hell.

It's a good thing those frogs have massive pointed teeth for all those plants they eat. Earth herbivores have it all backwards!

Those frog men are making perfect the enemy of the good. No reason they can't colonize this planet as a fixer-upper and kill the human race and plant their own sea crops.

This has looped around from "awful twist" to "amazing" again because it seems like the frogmen are pissed that they got their asses kicked and can't handle Earth, so they're basically going "well we didn't want your planet anyway, in fact we're pacifists who never wanted to fight you and totally didn't try to eat an old woman's dog, so there".

Seems to me it's the frogmen who are being too salty here  Fingerpori  Close enough. Technically, in Finnish the sign could be read as "mattress inflatable with electricity", and the clerk was warning that "it's full of electricity!" Fok_it reminds us that not all lives were created equal  Something I should have posted yesterday  And also this masterpiece  That random capitalized You was intentional. It's a politeness thing and actually sort of interesting but... later. tiistai fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jan 23, 2014 |

Holy Molé Bradbury Road This is probably the most obscure comic strip I've ever posted, because it was never published. Before striking big with "Pearls Before Swine", Stephan Pastis submitted a number of other strips to syndicates, all of which got rejected. One of them was "Bradbury Road". Here's the synopsis: quote:Bradbury Road is the story of Gus, a ten year old boy who is befriended by Rat, a cynical rodent who gnaws his way through the wall into Gus' room. Gus, the child of divorced parents, lives with his mother and very rarely sees his father. Reserved and slightly awkward, he spends a lot of time in his own room. For those times when Gus is not around, Rat talks with Jingles, a stuffed, court jester doll that lives on a shelf in the boy's room. Yes, this is the same Rat that later became a star in "Pearls". Anyway, since this strip was rejected, there are only 22 sample strips available. Here's the first five.

Here is the conclusion to the Big Time story. Spider-Man (Dec. 21 - 31, 2008)        The headline that was printed the next day was 'Webbed menace damages train station clock".     That big change was that the Spidey storyline was reset back to when Peter was in college. It proved to be so popular that it was dropped after five months and explained away as being a dream

Jane's World Oh settle down Jane, I'm sure they're just playing cards.  Non Sequitur  I love Cap'n Eddie. There's a guy like him that I talk to occasionally at our local bar. Well, he's not a fisherman -- he drives a cement truck, but, whatever. He's convinced that the reason we have Global Warming is because of the space program. "You see all that fire? That's what caused it. You plain just can't have that much fire without screwing up the planet." The more I drink, the more plausible his "theories" become. He's also convinced that his neighbor's water well is somehow tied to his septic system because when the neighbor is watering his garden, his toilet makes booming sounds. Yep. Heavenly Nostrils is late once again. Kliban  Beautiful. That cat's face...  9 Chickweed Lane 1/24/2003  Brooke's definitely got some tongue action going on in panel number two. Zits  Body modifiers are sooooo emotional sometimes. Kevin & Kell  But but.. What does fur thickness have to do with fe.. never mind.  Nemi  Thanks, Nemi. Toasted cheese is sounding really good for lunch, now. I have some Gouda on hand too.
