WeaponGradeSadness posted:If there's any evidence that it happened because of OH BABY then I missed it, but he did have to stop the strip because he couldn't afford to pay to host it on GoComics since his wife divorced him and he lost his job: Yeah I don't have evidence for it being the cause of the divorce other than the fact that Oh, Baby itself is probably grounds for divorce for just showing it to someone, let alone creating the god drat thing.

God, drawing that was the high point of his day.WeaponGradeSadness posted:I'm not going to lie: I like OH BABY. Not because it's good, because god knows it's nowhere near it. But it's bad in this perfect, surreal way. Like a dada masterpiece, but played entirely straight. It's fascinating to read precisely because of its specific, utterly bizarre flavor of awful. I agree with all of this, even if it means I'm a masochist. It's weirdly intriguing.

The first time I read the "pooter sounds" one I was filled with such incomprehension and disbelief, I didn't want to accept that it wasn't an edit even after I checked GoComics. I even thought that maybe I'd misunderstood the creator's original intent. My mind did not want to accept that what I was looking at really existed. Hey! Here's some other comics!

gently caress Your Website posted:Did you just discover it or something? It was posted here and universally hated already so a lot of us have already seen it, since it ended awhile ago. Even terrible comics only have so much impact. Honestly, I'm so sick of 9 Chickweed Lane and Kevin and Kell and Mike Du Jour and Gilchrist's Nancy that I've dragged out this horrible thing just to put them in the shade. And the irritating thing is, I'm finding Oh Baby more interesting as a window into one brainless man's imagination than having to look at Deathany's stupid smirk again, or reading entire pages of Retail discussion. I've already ditched posting three strips this year because they were monotonous and dumb, and I'll probably ditch Oh Baby before going through the entire four year run, but in the meantime I want to know what it's like to post the worst poo poo day after day after day. Rarg.

9 Chickweed Lane, like Nancy, only exists as fodder for our cruel and unusual editing. More to come.

Oh sure the first time, but it's just tired reruns to us now. The sad dude gave up his creepy dream a long time ago, reposting in hopes of eliciting the same effect just comes off sorta desperate, especially when failing to get the desired reaction results in quintupling up on the posting.

Say Nothing posted:9 Junji Lane. We've seen a lot of different edit themes in the comic megathreads, but this is shaping up to be my favorite.  Wanamingo posted:Zachary Nixon Johnson I've been struggling with how to describe why I dislike this strip so much, and I think it's because the art is trying so hard to be "good", but ends up looking absolutely boring. Look at that expression in the last panel. Totally blank and emotionless, but the art in general seems to have a lot of effort put into it.

Isn't the artist actually a graphic designer or something? That's probably a big reason the art has very little impact panel to panel. Not to mention the inker is a complete novice.

The writer is also completely incapable of giving the audience a reason to emotionally connect with the comic or the characters on any level, so it's a perfect trifecta of incompetence.

^ Yeah, he had months of buffer. Fingerpori  - I'm still at work... watching data getting reintegrated... - Homosexuality is against the natural order! "To reintegrate" is the best translation for eheyttää I could come up with on a short notice. It means "to defragment" and I wasn't aware it had a meaning beyond being a computer term. Looking at the word literally, it means something like "to make whole/intact/unbroken again". Fok_It  I despair every time I have to translate the word kuumotus.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:Weighing in on the That A Baby scandal, I've got no problem with it being posted. It's amazingly stupid (save for the edits), but, so are half the other strips that are in existence today. I would put it on par with Computoon, but most of the time I actually laugh at Computoon -- strictly because of Boyce's bizarre, illucid, and incomprehensible captions. Thatababy is actually the title of yet another comic about a baby. We don't talk about Thatababy.

If, for some reason, he was working under the table, he would just be back to not having to file. I can't really see any scenario in which he'd have to *pay* taxes.

Endless Mike posted:I'd be shocked to find a state that doesn't have online renewals for that sort of thing. At least as of the mid-2000s, as a dependent you couldn't claim the standard deduction, so you effectively pay taxes on the full amount of your earnings. You also didn't get any tax refund when Bush signed those into law either. I learned this when, one year, when I worked part time in fast food, I had to pay more in taxes than my parents (they were working on their own business that wasn't making enough for them to have take home pay.)
