Cowslips Warren posted:Then maybe I need to read it all at once, because once a day makes it lovely. It can't make up its mind if it wants to be a comic or a novel with a few pictures attached and so far it's tons of cliche descriptions and no real substance. Then again I don't know if reading all of that Nixon space future comic in one sitting would make it bearable. Just what the hell is happening in that last comic? Reading it in a sitting or two makes it clear that this particular story is an old style graphic novel, with prose and illustrations to help things along. There's one arc where it's more of a traditional comic-book style storytelling, but it goes back to this style after that. Reading it bit by bit really doesn't do it any favors. Nixon is awful and really skeezy. Cul-de-sac Has issues with stinky tissues.  The Creeps tickles your inner child's funny bone.

"CUT TO OFFICE ACROSS TOWN" in a visual medium is probably a new low point for this thread. I think I heard Scott McCloud's heart breaking. NEXT POST FOLLOWS

Bloom County    Calvin And Hobbes   Cheap Thrills Cuisine  Sounds delicious, but again, that last panel isn't doing it any favors. Heart of the City always vaguely reminded me of One Big Happy back in the day. I wonder if it's aged as well?  Herb and Jamaal has provided the thread with some of the oddest panels over the years. None today, though!

I think you're giving Brooke too much credit. Miyamoto Musashi never fought in a river with a boat oar, the closest was when he whittled a wooden sword out of one before a duel on an island. See, Musashi was one of the greatest swordsmen who ever lived, and he went kind of crazy as he got old. He started exclusively dueling with blunt wood swords, even in duels to the death against sharpened steel. He did this partly to insult the young whelps who kept challenging him, and partly because he genuinely believed that he was invincible. He fought hundreds of duels to the death that way before retiring to become a monk and poet, because back then you could decide you were invincible and then prove yourself correct. That is, of course, barring any Sudden and Unexpected Animal Attack Comix. Pooch Café   Ballard Street   Holy poo poo, a Ballard Moose!

Zereth posted:Did he really just put a PANEL DIVIDER right down the middle of a series of word balloons which are supposed to be read from top to bottom? I can just imagine the Honorable Master patting himself on the back about how innovative and artistic he is by breaking all the conventions of panel and word balloon placement, not realizing (or caring?) that those conventions are there for a purpose. They're so that the reader's eye will view things in the intended order and the reader will understand what the hell is going on. Luann  Apartment 3-G  Check those phones with the curly cords.

Endless Mike posted:Because there is little reason to lock one's self into a closet (home invasions, I guess?), however there are plenty of reasons one might want to lock a closet that's full of stuff. This would generally necessitate a key, though. A much better version of this would involve Shannon, hearing the soft moaning, and heavy breathing coming from the closet, props a chair under the doorknob, avails herself of the treasures in the refrigerator, burns Brad's porn stash, and leaves the house.

Seriously, what the hell is going on in Chickweed Lane at this point? I've actually been making an effort to follow it a bit, and I'm lost. As near as I can tell it's something like this: Souris there is actually working for the axis. German guy was actually a spy for the allies. American guy has head trauma and he's been very confused. At first I thought the American Guy's head being hurt was just a Calvin and Hobbes style 'this is how he's framing the situation in his imagination' thing, but now it's looking like the head damage actually scrambled his brains a little, and he's only just now realizing that the nazi was on his side, and Souris there is the enemy?

Endless Mike posted:Isn't it just a retelling of Nazi Gamma from a few years back? I think this is some sort of a sub-plot within the original Nazi Gamma story. I'm still thoroughly confused though, and I kinda just glance at it now because I'm so far off. Same with Pigporn too, since he started the Shakespeare. Anyway, pic sort of related to the thread... Paige just posted this to her Facebook page, and I really, really like it.  I think her artwork is really slick in this drawing.

Does anyone remember the name of the brand of automobile tires that the cavemen from B.C. are mascots for? I've been looking all over Skynet and I can't find the answer. Any link to pictures or video are also welcome.

Wikipedia says that B.C. characters were mascots for Monroe shocks in the 80s, and Marathon gasoline in the 60s. I'm having a hard time coming up with any pictures though.

I remember I got that BC Game for my Tandy 1000 and my mom saw the box and said I wasn't allowed to call the one lady "Fat Broad" as it suggested in the manual. She would come out and hit you with a club and kill you, so we would always scream, "Watch out for That Lady" instead. BC was a weird comic. https://archive.org/stream/BCs_Quest_for_Tires_1983_Sierra_On-Line#page/n3/mode/thumb

(Literally the plot of the book is that a rich old gently caress dies and is restored from a upload of his brain which leads him to hiring Takeshi Kovacs as a P.I. to discover why he died.)

There've been a couple of panels with the Phantom self-satisfiedly chuckling about it, or Guran mashing stuff to make it, etc. Which just makes the Endless Treasure Carousel even more pointless.
