Thanks to my blushing bride, our taxes were filed back in February. She's just like that. And our taxes are kind of a pain because self-employment. Although, she's had 24 years of practice at it, so she's pretty good.  I always knew Moon Maid was legit. Why are her eyes all spinny, though? I've always wondered that. I think "Lost Side of Suburbia" is cool, but I'm not gonna pee myself if it only gets posted three times a week. However, I DO MISS DAN DARE BITCHTITS, OMGWHEREAREYOUIMDYINGHERE!!!!! In other news... Manuel Calavera posted:One Big Happy  Jane's World  Off we go into the next flashback. I really do like it when Paige draws Jane in a more realistic (rather than "comical") manner. It looks really slick. Non Sequitur  Yep. "The only things that are certain are... " Heavenly Nostrils  Kliban's Cats  Cyriak would love this. 9 Chickweed Lane 4/15/2003  Escape what? The fact that you've turned into the grumpy old bitch that your mother is? Zits  On a whim, Jeremy, just get her a large fries instead of a small the next time you're out. You'll be regal for at least a week. Kevin & Kell  Easter. Yes of course. There're some serious "Fi's eyes" going on there in the first panel. Nemi  Celebrate by binge eating, drinking, and smoking Cyan! And, I can't be bothered to GIS it, but have there really been studies that support that idea?

Please tell me I can't be the only one seeing the (I'm pretty sure) mannequin as a Real Doll®, right? I don't know, it just seems that if one of the Creeps had a legitimate job, it would probably be in a Real Doll manufacturing plant.

Referencing Real Dolls is a shortcut to creepiness, and not worthy of the strip.

So the phantom's foolproof amnesia plan could be ruined if, say, the bartender said something like "hey you two going out into the jungle again?" This plotline is atrocious.

Skippy (January 25, 1927) Peanuts, in which America's Favorite Beagle unveils another of his dark and eldritch powers. (April 18, 1967)  And yes, that's the appropriate reaction for a Cub Scout theologian to have. Funky Winkerbean  Popeye  Okay, now there's a 50% chance of this getting interesting. Bump that up to at least 85% for Rip Haywire.  Pogo (April 17, 1956)  And that's why we keep getting into trouble with Twitter. Out Our Way (October 22-23, 1924)

Mr. Squishy posted:Referencing Real Dolls is a shortcut to creepiness, and not worthy of the strip. All I know is, it doesn't really matter what the original intention of the strip is because my mind has been completely ruined by all those dollfucker threads featuring the brain-damaged dude who REALLY liked mannequins. EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean So this whole storyline is, "What? You want to know more about your beloved father who died before you ever had a chance to get to know or even remember him? Yes, I remember him. He was a total loving shitlord and I'm glad he got murdered." Nice. Luann  If only. Apartment 3-G  Pros & Cons  Sally Forth  Oh, Faye, you're twelve years old.

skipThings posted:That is the first time we have seen Pop-Eye from the front, right? Maybe not the first time it ever happened, but possibly the first time in the set of strips we've been following. I do get your point, though. At some point by 1930, Elzie Segar had to be thinking "How the hell am I going to get this gargoyle in anything but a 3/4 profile?"

Drakyn posted:Any bets on his reaction following this observation when the book's creepy guy nobody likes who hides alone in a dark place ends up saving the two kids rather than threatening to eat them? I'm betting either abject shame or table-flipping anger. Does anything actually loving happen in this strip? Kid is lost, other kid gets trapped with brother, now they are reading books to a monster. And have been for weeks. Zach Nixon might have horrible art but at least poo poo happens.

I will NEVER get tired of correcting people by saying that most daily strips are intended for black and white print, and there's not much a colourist can do with a something that's already been filled in with black. I live for this poo poo. Also:  It's me I'm Tiggum.

WeaponGradeSadness posted:I've always thought of myself as kind of a boring person but every time they do one of these strips I say a little prayer of thanks that I'm not boring enough to think that putting some jalapeņo on a sandwich is an act worthy of a 'badass' biker alter-ego. I recall when I was a lad that the biker alter-ego appeared only rarely. I mean, poo poo never really gets real in Rose is Rose, but when it got about as real as it would get, that's when we got the biker. It was always kind of surprising to see it come out when you were six years old. Now, it's basically every other strip she's in. Same thing with the Avenging Angel version of the guardian angel. That stuff loses its impact when you do it all the time! But I guess it's the only way to make anything even vaguely interesting happen in the strip.

Other than Zits, Stone Soup and Luanne, how many comics feature two black/dark haired parents with a blonde or ginger child? How common is that actually in real life, I thought dark hair was usually dominant.

(really simplified genetics) but if both parents have one dark hair and one light hair, they have a 1 out of 4 chance of having a light hair kid. There's also the whole thing where a lot of people born blonde end up with dark hair once they hit puberty or so. Luann could be dying her hair to keep her younger color!
