Bloom County It has been a while since Mr. Breathed let his Trekkie side take over.  Most illogical. Calvin And Hobbes   I have it on good authority that the title of Speed Bump does not refer to the cartoonist's use of cocaine for inspiration.  Mark Heath's Spot The Frog gets existential on us. Aren't we all puppets stuck in the mud?  And Kris Straub's Starslip has been going for almost a decade.

WeaponGradeSadness posted:Holy poo poo, an Inspector Danger answer that makes sense and can actually be figured out before reading the answer! Is this the first one of those we've seen? The one a couple days ago with the liver-disease guy who drinks a cup of water was in the realm of solvability. Maxwell Lord posted:I... almost? get the premise but the execution is like Compu-Toon. It's also kind of a mediocre joke, since "Godzilla" and "spider" are roll descriptors. Maybe if it was "I'll have the spider steak" it would be more amusing.

I really can't decide who I hate more now, Brooke, Batuik, or Gilchrest. I mean, Brooke is as insufferable as always, but this whole "YOUR FATHER WAS AN rear end in a top hat" plot that Batuik is up to is annoying me on a whole new level, and I just want to start punching Gilchrest and never ever stop.

I totally agree. It must be somehow horribly emotionally deflating to be writing your dead father's biography, interviewing all his past co-workers and acquaintances, and finding out what an utter, loving prick he was. The level of hate I'm reading from these people is almost palpable. I'm just waiting for one of them to jump up in front of the camera and scream "YA KNOW WHAT!? I'M GLAD THE FUCKER GOT SHOT! HE WAS THE BIGGEST rear end in a top hat! HE loving DESERVED IT!". And the constant "nonplussed" look on her face is really annoying. E: So worked up I forgot the "h".

BlankIsBeautiful posted:Per prior discussion, my wife and I are both brown haired, brown eyed, and our oldest son is blonde with blue eyes. So yeah, there's that. WELL ARE YOU SURE HE'S YOURS???  I have a friend who has black hair. Her husband has black hair. Their two oldest sons have black hair. Their daughter, age four, is blonde. When they all go out together, people come up to them in the street and ask where the little girl came from or if she was adopted. When my friend tells them, "No, they're all ours," they have the nerve to accuse her of lying or imply the daughter is not really the husband's. All wonderful things to say to strangers right in front of their children. People are idiots. Drimble Wedge posted:Is Imgur being a pig for anyone else? What's a good alternate site? minus.com and xomf.com both have fans in this thread. Luann  283 pictures on what appears to be an oldschool camera that uses film. Great choice, Dad! Just having him holding a phone instead would have improved this thing, since everybody knows how easy it is to take multitudes of terrible pictures with your phone. It would be more relatable! That second picture even looks like he applied a lovely filter. Come on, Greg! You were so close with this one! Picture three? Awesome new profile pic for Luann's facebook page. Apartment 3-G  Even in a small town, it was just a conversation between the two of them. How would everybody know unless he was blabbing? Maybe that colt had a big mouth? Pros & Cons  Sally Forth  And the colorist makes it look like Hil's sporting a mustache. Good work! The Amazing Spider-Man  1. Is it just me, or does the dialog in the third panel almost sound like it should be in a romance? 2. Poor Spidey broke his left leg.
