Dr. Video Games 0081 posted:Casting the Sluggo-Nancy relationship in explicitly romantic terms is hosed up. Just let those kids be kids, in my opinion. It's also creepy that the bear seems to be admitting to being IN love with her (as opposed to just loving her as a friend or guardian or whatever). Regardless, the whole sad-eyed passive bear thing is beyond creepy anyway. God, Luann sucks. I'm not saying the kid isn't a demanding little hellspawn, but she's probably that way because she gets shunted around and ignored a lot. Now she's with two people she really likes, and they can't give her any attention at all. Get her started on a game or something! Talk to each other after she gets engrossed in a movie or goes to bed or whatever. She'll get interested in something and then you can finish exchanging firehouse gossip. Jesus Christ. At least Scary Gary is supposed to be creepy and off-putting.

Manuel Calavera posted:I don't believe you *haven't* been doing it on purpose. t To be honest, I scroll past most of the comics posted in this thread. I come here for the edits and the discussion, the actual comics I read on Comics Kingdom and GoComics, so I mostly don't notice which comics are regularly posted here or who posts them. I think the thread would actually be better if people didn't post a set list of current strips every day and just posted whatever was interesting or noteworthy. Stuff like Modesty Blaise is different because it's not readily available elsewhere, but the stuff that's available for free online seems pretty pointless to repost here unless there's some specific reason for doing so. That's what I do. If I see something I think is worthy of discussion or that I think people who don't regularly read it might like to see then I'll post that, the only thing I post every week regardless is classic Mandrake Sundays, and just because someone asked for them to be posted and they're only available to paid Comics Kingdom members. Ockhams Crowbar posted:I dunno, this got a chuckle out of me, but then I usually find Non Sequitur funny. Maybe my sense of humor is defective. Yep. Some Guy TT posted:Oh god yes this, so many times this. The worst of it is that Nancy isn't the only one that does it, way too often creepy romances are shoehorned into shows that are explicitly about elementary school students. Or babies. drat you 90's Nickelodeon! It worked with Rocko because they were all adults! I refuse to watch any show (or episode) about children having romantic relationships. It's creepy and weird and I wish TV writers would just stop it. Some Guy TT posted:Eyebeam There are plenty of ways this could happen. Maybe the tickets were free and she just figured she'd find someone to go with. Maybe the show isn't doing well and they were really cheap so she decided to chance it. Maybe she had intended to go with someone but circumstances changed after she bought the tickets. Julet Esqu posted:And now for more 2010 Spidey! I love it. The theatre just accepted payment in lumps of gold. No one thought it was suspicious that anyone would want to pay that way; in a world full of super-villains, who else is likely to pay in gold nuggets? Is the theatre knowingly and happily letting super-villains attend? And you'd have to assume that those nuggets are probably stolen. Beetle Bailey  Blondie  Crock  Her hair is not visible! Curtis

Skippy (December 15, 1926) It never occurred to him that he might be judged on fences, too. Peanuts gives us Charlie Brown's life in a nutshell. (March 8, 1967)  Funky Winkerbean gives us a triumphant shrug.  Popeye  Sounds like the judge is an Army man. Rip Haywire  Pogo (March 7, 1956)  Fall on him, Owl! That'll teach him! Out Our Way (July 25-26, 1924)

The Grizzwells I know it's a cliche to say it at this point, but I swear Calvin and Hobbes did this exact joke. Also, we've got a sharp one in the comments section:  Yeah. Yea... yes. Thank you. Uh huh, that's... that's it, all right.

The control group, which got a different kind of x-ray that serves the same diagnostic purpose, or none at all? You may not have the option. Also, how did they set that up, because it wasn't "give these 100 people the x-ray and don't give it to those 100, and we'll get back to them in a few years." They have to have used existing records. How did they rule out other factors? Increased risk in what timespan, anyway? Stupid comic strip needs citations is what I'm saying.

September 10th, 1988. Not a big fan of the whole "[other comic] did it first/better!" thing but it actually did stand out to me, too. (It has to be said that this version really does work a lot better, unless Tucker is terribly misusing that armchair.)

Indolent Bastard posted:Mike du Jour Ahahaha, look at this poo poo. There really isn't any other word that properly describes it. There's the complete lack of perspective, the "background," the usual lazy copy/past art that's somehow WORSE than normal (the gently caress is up with his nose?), the failure to properly draw anything on the table, and to cap it all off "aw crap, I don't know how to draw this guy from behind, oh well, no one will notice/care anyways." It's masterful in it's complete inability to succeed in anything it attempts to be.

ChickenOfTomorrow posted:The Little King Look, I understand that a king can't just go out and watch the latest romantic comedy in a theater because the local tabloids would go hog wild, but is building a secret entrance, a secret mining track/rollercoaster and a secret canal that leads to the movie theater really easier than waiting for the DVD? Hell, I'll bet the producer will mail you a copy ahead of schedule if you ask since you're the king!

Jim's Journal Really? I'm never not doing that. Guess I'd better not look for a copy shop job. Krazy Kat  Jack Handey, eat your heart out. Classic Mandrake  Hook, line, and sinker. Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future   The Crypts can't see them, but they pass through this part of space regularly, presumably in perfect safety. So is going out and blasting them with disintegrator beams really necessary?
