Flagrant Abuse posted:I've always thought the animation style looks sort of like Rugrats. Naw, "Lost Side of Suburbia" has a more appealing design than just about anything Klasky-Csupo ever did. Speaking of which, anyone remember the "Rugrats" newspaper strip? My local paper ran it, believe it or not.

spirited posted:Some goons might get a kick out of a cartoon strip I did for some weekly county papers. It was called "The Fingers" and it was about a family from the Finger Lakes of upstate New York that had the last name Finger. It ran for about seven months, but ended prematurely because I moved to the midwest. While the jokes were not region specific really, it was drawn for a niche community audience so I'm going to a stealth post it for the goons that might like that sort of thing. Click. It's a good first comic, but it has some of the same issues that "Zachary Nixon Johnson" does. Everyone's poses look unnatural: bent at the waist constantly, heads jutted forward, arms and hands held up like they're doing The Robot or making an "I don't know" gesture. Their limbs look barely attached to their torsos, especially the arms. Also, the expressions don't match the dialogue; everyone's eyebrows are the same from strip to strip, panel to panel. And with the way they're drawn, everybody looks angry, especially the grandfather and the girl. Honestly, it smacks pretty heavily of copy-paste to me, because the interactions look stiff and unnatural. Also, I'm a little bothered by how lovingly the men's pecs are outlined through their shirts, especially the grandfather's.

Aardmania posted:Dick Tracy Wait, that's it? She drives the car into the lake, Dick Tracy assumes they're dead, then we move on? Also holy crap so many Dick Tracy stories end with the crooks dying without the cops/Tracy doing anything besides maybe chasing them. Alternatively they escape, which still has Dick and his pals accomplishing jack. Dick Tracy is more a series of independent stories about crooks doing bad things and then dying than it is a detective series, between how little we actually see detective work being done and how much more focus the villains seem to get. (Which isn't always bad mind, some of the crooks are pretty great.)

My wife left a bag of beef jerky open on the passenger seat of my car, and I left the windows cracked about 5 inches overnight. In the morning the battery was stone cold dead. Upon inspection, I found an empty beef jerky bag in the gravel outside the car, beef jerky greasy footprints all over the hood, and the headlights on. The little striped dick manged to get through that cracked open window, and in doing so turned the loving headlights on in the middle of the night. Fuckers...
