Six Chix  Zippy the Pinhead  Nancy  Arlo and Janis  Wee Pals  Andertoons  I was so disappointed when I learned that those dogs don't actually carry alcohol with them. Four Eyes  Same joke as always, but I do have to admit that I like the confused skort. Lost Side of Suburbia  Zachary Nixon Johnson  This is dumb, but at least the plot's moving again.

It really is kind of horrifying that whoever is writing The Phantom clearly thinks the Ghost Who Brags is a hero and not a total jerk. But then, that's kind of true of a lot of things, many of them in this very thread.

Ghostlight posted:The writer for this is loving awful and so short-sighted. Almost every single strip has featured a stupid FUTURE! deus-ex-machina which means that by the time actual conflict happens the only way to resolve it is another FUTURE! deus-ex-machina. The characters are essentially ungrowable because every single issue they have can be resolved simply by using any of the devices already introduced - the only way to challenge them is to introduce yet more deus-ex-machina that exist only to foil the existing ones, and the plot can never build tension because the audience is just waiting for the next piece of tech to magic them out of the predicament they were just magicked into. Beyond how clusterfucked it is now, it's just going to descend into a constant spiral of needing new things to be introduced to move the plot/action along instead of actions or motives; or the audience constantly questioning why they aren't using their old things. That's a good complaint. The entire premise of the comic is that he's the last operating private investigator, so it follows that with the old fashioned job the character would use old fashioned equipment. It's not exactly the most original premise ever, but it does at least make it seem natural for the character to use their wits to get out of a situation instead of just whipping out some new gadget.

There are honestly times when I'm a bit lost on the story but I have to enlarge these just to check out the gorgeous art. (And not even when Romero gets all cheesecakey! Not necessarily, anyway...)

I mostly try to ignore Mceldowney anymore, but what's getting to me now is swords have weight, and you have to mind your own center of mass to handle one. It's a hella good workout even if somebody's not trying to kill you. You don't dance around with them all floaty and swoopy on tiptoe, dammit. Also, he draws the blade a different length in every. stinkin. panel. Joining you in the angry corner.

Gil She's actually apothecary class. Witches do status effects. Retail  There are a handful that are still worth mad cash like the Princess Di bear. You just had to have the clairvoyance to know which ones. The rest are children's hospital worthy. Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Bleeker could tolerate the dirty socks and snack wrappers littering the ground in Skip's room, but underwear was the last straw. Dustin  Dustin's mom could help out by not making so many cakes and brownies, and Steve Kelley could diversify the jokes. We hit the "Ed's weight" bingo square yesterday. On the Fastrack  "She thinks she's the brightest, hottest star in the universe, but really she's just a yellow dwarf." Heaven's Love Thrift Shop  First schools, now churches?

Somehow, the three of them all working together, however, produce something much worse than any one of them would normally put out.

When I was a kid, I had glow-in-the-dark Silly Putty, and I knew two things about it. One, the brighter the light it was exposed to, the more it would glow. Two, the more I could stretch it out, the more light it would be able to absorb. So I found the brightest lamp in the house, spread the putty directly onto the bulb, and left it on all day. Disastrously Bad Idea Comix.   Okay, I guess this proves that Poncho can't be a boston terrier, since those french bulldogs don't resemble allen keys in the slightest.  Ballard Street  It is a warning to the other instruments. Liberate tutame ex inferis.

I used to think he was something of a miniature bull terrier which is why I made him one in those old edits, mostly because of the schnoz. I only made him a Boston terrier in the last edit because I thought it was established he was one somewhere. Frankly I have no idea what breed Hudson is since his mouth is always jumping all over the place.
