They're both right. Aleut and Inuit people have dozens of words for snow, and so do we. We use them to describe different snow conditions like drift, powder, slush, hail, sleet, etc. Frankly, I'm surprised that we really only have one word for Dog Comix. Pooch Café  FISH AREN'T BUGS! Ballard Street  That's a sturdy door frame. Mine can't even support one of those chin up bars. It said right on the box that it wouldn't even touch the moulding. Bullshit.

Fingerpori The original text was a translation from the Urantia Book, as one reader helpfully pointed out, so no translation on my part necessary this time! Fingerpori.org has a comment section where people generally just post their lovely ideas. This Kuuluvainen fellow in particular has distinguished himself in that regard and I guess Jarla finally snapped. Fok_It

So the concept of humorously modifying comics seems to go back a ways (before photoshop even!). My wife is a comic book collector (not the Funky Winkerbean dude's style, only Disney comics), and she bought a lot of about 100 comics in an eBay auction. Buried in the comics were two really old MAD magazines. One from September of 1958, and the other from August 1959. They're pretty shot, heavily worn, and the 1958 issue has no cover, but were fun to read nevertheless. They dicked around with comics of the period in the 8/59 issue, and I instantly thought of you guys, and this thread. I've scanned them (poorly, sorry, I'm horrible at scanning), so here are 3. Personally, I don't think they're super funny, but, hey, it's related to the thread I guess... Oh, they're loving huge, so all are timg'd and obviously, click for gigantic... Little Orphan Annie  I laughed at this one because of all the dumb poo poo Daddy Warbucks is doing in the background. Classic MAD. Mandrake  Lothar being an rear end in a top hat.  Dick Tracy  This cracked me up the most because of all the absurd "Dick Tracy Style Labeling". I have no idea who that engineer-like dude is. There are 5 more, and I'll post them later. Gotta go weld a thing.

Luann A quick glance at the comments section indicates that the fact that Tiff is the only one not being sarcastic makes her the bitch. (It also indicates that the commenters at GoComics aren't great at detecting sarcasm. Or that I'm giving Luann and her pals too much credit for not being brain-damaged.)

It is full of disgusting deplorable people and if I wanted to explain the ugly and ignorant side of America to someone I would use this comic as the example. Always post it. It is amazing.

Julet Esqu posted:Luann Retail really is just Luann in a department store. The biggest difference is that Luann has a lot more fans. I guess Norm Feuti will forever live in Greg Evans' shadow as master of rear end in a top hat protagonists comics. Gil  I've posted this one before and I vividly remember how Volume thought it was hilarious. If he were still posting here today he'd probably laugh again. Retail  Sadly, 39,873 of those are from a botnet in Indonesia. Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Truly, a species whose craftiness is worthy of Slylock Fox's master super sleuthing. Dustin  You know, there are some Dustin storylines I wouldn't mind having developed more. Like where and how he gets all these nameless girlfriends. But bad celebrity jokes really don't need to be drawn out for days. On the Fastrack  And why do 80% of our tickets originate from your IP address? Safe Havens  Since the age of 6 you've lived, eaten and breathed basketball...every waking moment was dedicated to practicing, working out, media appearances, agent meetings, and carefully tailored schedules. Now, at the ripe old age of 26, you'll have to find something completely new to do! So uh...how 'bout Mars?
