I'm liking this Phantom plot a lot more now that I'm pretty sure Phantom being a smarmy jackass and loving every second of it is completely intentional on the writer's part.

For some reason, the firewall at my workplace decided to block this thread. Not the whole forums, just this thread.  I thought I was going to encounter two days worth of pixelated dongs or something, but no. I can't even think what triggered it. Edit: It wasn't even the whole thread, just the previous two pages.

Mister Beeg posted:The guy who drew this also does "Rip Haywire" (Dan Thompson). I thought that second panel looked familiar. The rest of the art style is very different, obviously, but that panicking bird looks just like TNT's panic face. This isn't the best example but it's the only one I could find via a quick Google search:  I just couldn't place what exactly it reminded me of until you posted that.

The Phantom relentlessly owning some criminal in the smuggest possible way is a lot of fun. The only reason the latest arc hasn't been that interesting is the tremendous quantity of filler.

I still really like the art though; you can tell just how sentimental JRWilliams is about his subject matter, however mined-out it may be.

A wonderful Fok_It You could say that besides being pretty generic and common-sounding, Pertsa and Arska are fairly "manly" names. Guess that's part of the joke. ihana 1. wonderful, marvellous, marvelous 2. lovely, adorable 3. fabulous, fantastic "Fabulous" would make this sound like a gay joke, but I actually don't think that's what the strip was going for.

Minnesota has taken it off job applications statewide, unless I've missed something and that campaign is still ongoing. We're getting widespread recognition that A. A lot of our prison population has been jailed for sub-par reasons, B. Even the ones that weren't still get out at some point and reform, and they need to eat too, and C. We have a LOT of ex-and current prisoners. It's slow, but it's starting.

Note the other two names, Price and Tatulli. The latter is Mark Tatulli, who does "Lio" and "Heart of the City". I'm guessing Price is Hillary Price, who does "Rhymes with Orange"

And Amber clearly missed evaluating the needs of that secret shopper, so maybe she's not as good as you think?

Midnight Moth posted:Heaven's Love Thrift Shop It may or may not be worth pointing out that "It is well with my soul" is a line from a hymn written shortly after the author's loss of his fortune and the deaths of all his children. It's a lovely expression of hope and peace, even in the face of utter devastation... and knowing the history, Dag might not be wrong in interpreting it as a cry for help. Radio Patrol     I have no idea what's happening here, but something IS happening, I can tell you that! That puts it ahead of a few other action comics that come to mind.
