Wanamingo posted:Zachary Nixon Johnson This comic pisses me off more than most of the other ones posted here like Nancy and Mike du Jour. It's a really cool setting, and the art is eye-catching at first. The static poses, the creepy broken necks and vapid stares, the nonsensical story and bizarre pacing, the stupid attempts at being edgy like HARV the Super Mario sprite - it adds up to being a lot of wasted potential and has a smug "wink at the reader" air about it. I at least don't expect much from Gilchrist or Lester.

WeaponGradeSadness posted:The dude had a storyline about the high school putting on a play and a bunch of fucker idiot philistines protested because it was too sad and had so much tragedy and were too dumb to appreciate how good it was. Then, one of the characters went to bat for it because it's true art and represents real life, man. And then everyone realized that actually the play was good as hell. It was so transparent that the whole storyline was just Batiuk jerking himself off about how great his story is and how everyone saying that tragedy doesn't inherently make a story deep or interesting is wrong and dumb that it made me want to hurl. Does anyone remember this/have a link to it? I remember that storyline. The play in question was Wit, which is about cancer (naturally). I've read that play and it's pretty great. It's also a goddamn terrible choice for a high school production. I don't care how talented the kids are. The bulk of the play is about one woman and how she deals with the cancer that steadily strips her of all the strength and dignity she once prided herself in. You can't showcase/fund a high school drama program with that. Nobody's parents are going to pay to see somebody else's kid depress them for two hours. Luann   Somehow I don't think that story will be appropriate for children. Apartment 3-G   Pros & Cons   Sally Forth   The Amazing Spider-Man

Errm, while I see his point, you also don't have to let them be hand raised? One of the local vets here takes in various wild animals all the time. There is a herd of deer in the woods behind their house. His wife takes care of the fawn, and usually one of the does will adopt it after a short while. ...except for the most recently one. Which is a male. Yeaaah, I just don't see how this won't cause problems here in a couple years.

Magikarpal Tunnel posted:They can't, it's a Father Daughter Picnic!! Fathers and Daughters only. You're forgetting that Nancy takes place in the 1950s effectively, in a world before PEE CEE GONE MAD or what have you. Come to think of it I don't know if I've ever seen a black person in Gilchrist's comic. I'd bet Nancy's dad was a VIET NAM VET, though even Gilchrist might think this is a stretch given the timeline....maybe to mix things up he'll be an AFG-HAN-ISTAN VET. I'm picturing some guy wearing the hat while crying in heaven or whatever the gently caress. Speaking of terrible comics, the latest "my father, John Darling, the TV personality" plot in Funky just makes me think of the last we saw of that plot, where Darrin's date-rapist dad showed up and tried to make a reality show, and somehow everyone just stood around in a room and literally went "there is absolutely no way we can conceive of preventing him from doing this." That was terrible even by Funky standards. grading essays nude fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Apr 9, 2014 |

The speed of sound is very roughly six times the terminal velocity of a human body. I think it's gonna be fine, especially considering Spider-Man has apparently been suspended in mid-air for the past four strips.grading essays nude posted:Come to think of it I don't know if I've ever seen a black person in Gilchrist's comic.

Gil Retail  1. Why didn't the other employees tell him the store was closed? 2. What's the point of adding a new character if he's just going to act exactly like any of the other existing characters? You could literally have Marla, Val, Cooper or Amber stand in and deliver Arthur's lines with the exact same body language here and it wouldn't be out of place. If any of them had been promoted to Assistant Manager instead the result would be the same as what we got. For that matter the generic customers pretty much act the same too. Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  I thought Karl hated cleaning messes with how much he loses his poo poo when Skip or Refurb make one. Dustin  Steve Kelley must really care a lot about food with how many food-related gags he's been writing lately. On the Fastrack  They're both jerks here. Dethany's being really paternalistic and involved but Fi's an rear end in a top hat for snubbing a $50 birthday present. Safe Havens  Why didn't you bring a camera? I mean how kickass would that be to get a few shots of that? Midnight Moth fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Apr 9, 2014 |

Fingerpori What a zinger  Fok_It  Today, Finland celebrates Mikael Agricola's Day, also known as the Day of the Finnish Language. Agricola was a clergyman in the 1500s who wanted to translate the New Testament to Finnish. He ran into a problem: there was no standard literary Finnish yet. Like the determined smart dude that he was, he developed the standard on his own first, and wrote the first Finnish ABC book to complement it. Later he produced the first Finnish New Testament, coining a ton of new words (that are still used) in the process. The airhook guy was Mikael Granlund in the world championship games 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JazGHYDwp-s

She is the woman who invaded Jane and whatshiscishetface's trailer and started making changes before Paige's adhd took over and went off on a couple more flashbacks, and then it turned out that she was abducted by aliens, which explains why the Nagging Comix stopped for a while. Pooch Café  Everybody's acting super out of character in this arc. Chazz just got a good burn in, for crying out loud. Ballard Street  Walter just made something with his own two hands and he is basking in the pride of creation, you harridan.
