Do you know what perspective is? Is that supposed to be fire in a trashcan? Is that an Asian man in that broken window? Is that rat the same size as that man’s head? When did car manufacturers stop producing vehicles with hood ornaments, exactly? Is that a knife on the ground? Do most brick wall dead-end alleys have floor trim along the ground? Jesus loving gently caress, LOOK HOW loving TERRIBLE THAT CAR LOOKS. Is it 40 feet long? Is the front tire bigger than the back one? IT IS REALLY REALLY BAD.

It always weirds me out when they say the cat's name, because Solange is my sister's name. I don't want her to be associated with this terrible comic.  At least the cat strips are better than the others, I guess.

Lowen SoDium posted:*sigh* she is going to find some note her father John Darling left her, and he is going to call her by his pet name for her, Barbie. I'm sure going to be relieved when I learn that the father of a tertiary character, who never appeared in this strip because he died before it started, was not cheating on his wife, something that was only introduced as a possibility two days ago.

Luann Apartment 3-G  Looks like Margo's ready to forget she runs another business! This is is one I'd like to see redrawn, or would even try myself if I had the time. There's just so much there in the dialog that Bolle completely fails to even try to bring into the art. Margo's pissed that Tommie's not around to worship her and has gotten all fired up with her crazy plans to drag her friend home from the country against her will. Lu Ann has seen this all before and doesn't even feign interest or look up from her newspaper (or her phone/tablet if we want to be this century about it). That's funny to me. A3G could be a funny strip if somebody wanted to try. Pros & Cons  Sally Forth  I bet it's more than one, Ted. The Amazing Spider-Man

Appalled, horrified, nauseated...but not surprised. (It would be awesome if he turned into Phil Fumble from the old Fritzi Ritz comics, though. That shrimpy little goggle-eyed anger engine powered by pure jealousy was about five billion times the character Gilchrist's version is.)

Magic Hate Ball posted:SPIT WORDS ! Regarding Luann, why are they 40 minutes away from home/prom? I just don't see how that works. I guess if they were going far for dinner, but why would you do that? Wouldn't you pick a place reasonably close? And if they were going like an hour away for dinner, doesn't that mean they would have a good hour or two (give or take) of time where they would have been eating, leaving plenty of time for one of their parents (or friends, for that matter) to come pick them up? Why am I even thinking so much about this? This is stupid. Luann is stupid. They can't even loving walk through a field without absolutely ruining their entire outfits and hair.

My company (small retailer under a big corporation) basically sent out a memo saying "We know Microsoft is cutting out XP, but upgrading all our systems would be a pain in the rear end for our IT department so instead we're going to buy a perpetual service contract from Microsoft so they will support XP just for us, forever." I'd be willing to bet nearly all businesses with corporate components will have an identical service contract. (Fun fact: Large portions of the memo were in Comic Sans)

Gil It's actually pretty cool when you're knee deep in the water with a net and a bucket. Retail  "Yeah, some of our 75% off Easter chocolate was made in some plant in North Carolina. We tried carrying a Chinese variety but the amount of cockroach legs and rat droppings in those was over the maximum allowed by the FDA." Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Pretty much me when Animal Crossing New Leaf came out. Dustin  Dustin recently got some new sponsors: the Food and Golf Networks. Safe Havens  They are, it's just that all the adults in this strip are woefully negligent.
