Luann Today, Leslie gets dressed up all nice and plucks up the nerve to ask a pretty girl to the prom. What an rear end in a top hat, right? Apartment 3-G  Pros & Cons  Sally Forth  The Amazing Spider-Man  I sincerely hope that Peter is true to his word. The rest of the arc could be Tony Stark beating the poo poo out of 3J for misusing his tech while our hero hides under the bed.

Gil Retail  Give me a break Marla. Average job tenure is like what, four years now, and worse for retail? You're a statistical anachronism. Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Because she'll bolt the second she sees a cat or squirrel or another dog and good luck chasing after her and bailing her out from the pound. Dustin  Better not trivialize any sport Dustin or you'll piss off the purists. On the Fastrack  An AI that trolls its users? Safe Havens  Sounds like a conspiracy to kill the human and reclaim mermaid girl and their halfling kid.

Midnight Moth posted:Retail Why would she even care about that when the immediate crisis situation is not working 80 hours a week so she can see her toddler? If they leave so what who cares? The only reason Josh leaving was such a problem was because she relieved him of the two week notice responsibility. Midnight Moth posted:Dustin You think that's bad just look at the Summer Olympics. Gymnasts have to completely warp their own body and might win three medals over their lifetime if they're lucky. Michael Phelps meanwhile gets a cartload of them every four years because "swimming in a slightly less efficient way" qualifies as its own event. For three different styles. Midnight Moth posted:Safe Havens I'm going to ignore the obvious stupidity of these characters for a moment and just posit- why do they care? Most advantages of citizenship are contingent on the assumption you're living in the country where you have citizenship. Why would anyone want Merfolk citizenship if they're not living in Merfolkland? The only use I can think of for it is that the Merfolk will evacuate them in case of a war. And this may be Safe Havens but let's not get crazy here.

SynthOrange posted:Good thing it's a shittily written comic with shallow characters written for laughs then because they're all horrible people. Aw, dammit. Jane's World is gradually morphing into Dykes To Watch Out For. Looking back, the signs have been there all along, I just didn't want to see.  At least I can always count on Gahan Wilson for a pick-me-up.

It also might be a way of letting the reader decompress after the events. (I mean, I know it's just some student paper strip, but it seems like a nice technique to use anyway.)

Slylock Fox  Let's see... those three purple fish only have tail fins and are missing the rest, the crab is suspended above the ground, the red plant is growing form nothing, and the anchor is on a noose for some reason.  The error here is that the octopus is not using that knife to stab the shark. Sharks have sharp pointy teeth so you have to fight fire with fire.

Manuel Calavera posted:Red Meat I laughed my rear end off at this. I've been a fan of this strip for years. Red Meat never fails to deliver. Jane's World  Yep, I'm convinced that Skye is being the dick here. She barely knows Jane, and vice versa (after only one date), and she's already aggressively pushing to insert herself into Jane's life. Forcing the "out of the closet" issue, especially with a close family member, is an utterly rear end in a top hat move.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:Jane's World Yeah, the poo poo move I was talking about was just assuming that everyone would be better out of the closet. When Jane's Mom disowns her and calls her a sinner and spawn of the devil I bet Skye will be shocked. Just shocked! Even if it all turns out okay deciding that someone else needs to come out is scummy as gently caress.

JaggerMcDagger posted:What is going on in this strip? Why are they trying to convert that baby to communism? Why is a communist baby so well drawn? Archive is behind a paywall, but spoiler-blocking anyway to err on the side of caution: Baby Michael is the son of a ballerina named Chariman (the only name I've found her called by yet, dunno if it's first or last) and Prince Frederick of Mythania. Communist revolutionaries staged a coup and killed the rest of Mythania's royal family, with only those three escaping the capital. Frederick later died while acting as a decoy so that his lover (wife? fiancee?) and child could escape to America, which leaves little Mikey as the last living person with a clear and rightful claim to the Mythanian throne. On learning of this, rebel leader Maloventi packed up a few dozen spies and hopped the next flight Stateside. Objective: track them down, rescue the infant prince from the clutches of his capitalist pig-dog mother, then take him back to Mythania where his impressionable mind can be properly molded into a model of modern socialism, thereby disarming if not outright shattering the loyalist resistance and effectively ensuring that the only boots standing on the necks of the peasantry for any foreseeable future will be Soviet-issued. The Commies had found Mommy and were almost literally just two steps behind her when she ducked into a park and tossed Michael into the arms of the first person she came across. This person just happened to be Desmond, butler to former US Marine-turned-private detective and all-around Renaissance man Remington "Rip" Kirby, and that's how the plot got started. And that's the short version!

Indolent Bastard posted:Mike du Jour Is the joke about how he has never ordered a loving cup of coffee in his life before Fingerpori  "Break the structure of the egg" might sound a bit weird in English but so it did to my ear in Finnish too. Fok_It  I'm starting to regret the font choice, it's really difficult to work with sometimes when the English is just that much longer. It was just the one that most closely resembled the text in the original. I don't want to start handwriting it myself. "Rocks" has no vulgar connotations in Finnish. Originally the joke was about the pin (the centerpoint of the curling target area) which in Finnish is called the nipple.

For the love of god it's just a comic shop. If you can't handle the potential of B.O. and casual racism and/or sexism, then just do what every sane person would do and buy that poo poo online. If you aren't on the hunt to enjoy the hunt, then don't bother. I collected a full run of The Badger, issues one to seventy-whatever plus the all the mini-series. It was great trolling through 25 cent and dollar bins to find them all at any random shop I found. (Good comic by the way, sort of a pre-Deadpool Deadpool but much less gore and more martial arts).

Calvin And Hobbes   Cheap Thrills Cuisine  If you think you know bland comics, Drabble will set new standards.  Mister Beeg, is there any story behind how Kevin Fagan has kept Drabble going since 1979?
