That absolutely was not the reason anyone thought that and we already went over it once before in this thread.

Manuel Calavera posted:Compu-Toon Coherent, funny, and it's even something I've had happen to me. The art doesn't really support it, but that's still very good for Boyce. Asking him to write a joke about smartphones and then actually draw one is the difference between driving a hummer and driving a hummer Out in the Elements Comix. Pooch Café  I'm already convinced he's no dog, since he's gagging on that kitty litter. Dogs think kitty litter is like sprinkles for the tasty little treats the cat leaves behind. Ballard Street  I have a friend who did this. His room is in the basement and he has no windows, so he put up a wallpaper mural of a forest scene, stuck a bunch of planters in front of it, and replaced the lights with UV bulbs. It's a pretty cool place to hang out.

root posted:If anyone is interested I've got some Peter Blegvad oddities that I could scan. I have no idea what Leviathan is, but as far as I can tell it is a newspaper comic, so by all means please post! It's All Right Chief Dharma  ...Yes, you read that correctly. It's all over. Like so many actual jobs, it happens not with set-up, resolution, or even explanation. It just happens. From a meta-perspective I'm not sure what's happening. It's odd that this happened in the middle of the week on a strip with no even number, which might indicate that the writer was sacked. But considering most of the joke here is about how life as we know it can end without warning, this could have been planned from the beginning. Either way, there are no more new Chief Dharmas to post. There are, of course, hundreds of old Chief Dharmas. Haven't decided if I want to translate those, or just move on to something new. For all I know this guy could be starting a new comic next week, or there will be a different comic starting next week, or maybe the Daily Focus has just given up on comics altogether. Or maybe there will be an extended break until they find a new cartoonist they want to devote print space to. I really have no idea. But between this, my 2007 cartoons hitting a Monday, and my having to make a big trip this weekend, I'm not posting any more comics until next week.

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty gutted about this. On the subject of Chief Dharma: I came across these strips and it looks like they're advertisements for hair restorer...? They seem legitimately funny and bizarre:  How much of a cultural touchstone is Chief Dharma in Korea? Enough so that its abrupt end would be something of a big deal?

Pastry of the Year posted:How much of a cultural touchstone is Chief Dharma in Korea? Enough so that its abrupt end would be something of a big deal? It's reasonably popular, but Korean comics aren't mired in nostalgia culture the same way American comics are. It's only five years old, and even that's longer than average. I imagine people will be disappointed that it's gone, but then move on to something else. Maybe remember the author's name for whenever and with whoever his next project starts. And yeah, those are hair tonic advertisements. Apparently he does (did) for-hire work with the characters. Also not uncommon- comics are popular enough that certain titles can be a decent marketing boost.

The most hilarious thing about Zen Pencils was, that one where Hayao Miyazaki pilots a mecha to destroy all criticism in the world? There was such a backlash from people critical of the artist putting words into the mouth of Miyazaki that he recanted and removed the name 'Miyazaki' from the comic. His comic about not listening to criticism lead to him listening to criticism which sort of undermined the entire thing.

I'm so conflicted about Ham Shears. On the one side, it seems like we're gonna have one of the first actually decent, realistic, wholesome lesbian couples ever in comics, but on the other hand, it's once again furthering the whole "tomboys/short-haired women are lesbians" stereotype.

I don't know that I'd call them stereotypical lesbians, given the big argument the thread had over whether or not that was even a fair assumption. Seems kind of funny in retrospect now, obviously.

Is Jill actually a tomboy, though? I don't really remember. Either way, I'm still holding out for a gay male romance comic. This is like the third lesbian thing this thread's had.

Wanamingo posted:Nancy I couldn't even bring myself to read this, but holy crap that dog looks different every time it shows up. Maybe the original dog died shortly after being "rescued", and, not wanting to break the kids' hearts, the adults replaced it. And then their negligence (letting it eat garbage and stuff) got the replacement killed, and so on. Seriously though, Gilchrist is bad at like every aspect of this. Bad writing, awful "jokes", schmaltzy and artificial attempts at emotion, no consistency in design for nearly anyone (besides the dog, we have Fritzi getting progressively more stacked and Phil hulking out), no respect for the previous work or its creators, the list goes on and on.

Oh Ham Shears. But Chief Dharma, I am sad to see that one go. I really liked it. And I'm sad that Gilchrist is still doing Nancy. This is a stupid loving story arc, another in a long line of stupid loving story arcs, done by a hack writer. gently caress this trash.

Skippy (February 9, 1927) Peanuts (May 3, 1967)  Funky Winkerbean  The mystery is resolved...on a Wednesday. Which means that we get to wallow in it for another three days. Popeye  Rip Haywire  Pogo (May 2, 1956)  Out Our Way (November 17-18, 1924)   Just for variety, here's a bonus from May 2, 1956: Droodles, by Roger Price. Price was a writer for the Bob Hope show in the 40s (when Hope still had some snap left in his elastic) and later became one third of name on the door for publishing firm Price Stern Sloan. He was also half-inventor of Mad Libs. Stern described Droodles as "a borkley-looking sort of drawing that doesn't make any sense until you know the correct title," and to live up to that description they were usually kind of abstract sketches. The most famous one these days gave the cover and title to Frank Zappa's "Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch".  Does this look like something you could get behind? Because I'm pretty sure I could find a few more.
