RevKrule posted:And my point is proven! That smarmy rear end in a top hat overheard them talking and now is going to go home and setup his snipebot to gently caress this bitch over. Why? Because he's sick of hearing her talk about how she keeps getting free comics because she knows someone in the military. No, what's going to happen is, the reason nobody's made a bid after he did is that guy recognized her on ebay, because she used the screenname "wallysmom" or something, and told all his nerd buddies who were bidding on the comic her story, so they let her have it. And Batiuk thinks this is poignant and moving, because he didn't stop to think about how condescending it would be to show Mrs. Funky only being able to succeed in her quest because of male comic fans watching out for her.

The weird thing about the seventies is that no one seemed to have any muscle tone. Scary Gary  And here's a glimpse at Hope & Death just because I like the way Death is drawn (even if the rest of it is shite), and it's the middle of the night here and people maybe want something to read: quote:Co-workers Ryan Metlen and Dudley Mallinson were working at their jobs as project managers for a landscape company when they came up with an idea for a comic strip: an orphaned little girl goes to live with her grandfather in a retirement home -- but only she can see the Grim Reaper who dwells there. Thus the genesis for "Hope & Death" was born.           Edit: This Death is significantly less scary than Leopold from Scary Gary and could probably be easily replaced by a pet or a baby with thought bubbles.

If only she can see the reaper that means grandpa just randomly came up to her and took out his teeth.

RevKrule posted:I don't get this mentality. I really don't. Why wouldn't you wait until the last possible minute to bid on an auction on ebay? The way it's setup, even by setting a max bid, you're setting yourself up for failure. On top of that, you're probably going to end up spending more as you get bid up to your max. This is why I hate eBay. It seems like it's set up to be really great. Everyone sets their maximum bid then whoever put down the highest number pays just enough to beat the next-highest person. You just decide how much you're willing to pay and then if you win you get it for a bit cheaper than that. But in reality it's a loving awful system where the best way to go is to wait till the last minute. So the only way I ever buy anything on eBay is with the "buy it now" option where you just pay a set price and that's it. The actual auction process is just incredibly obnoxious. A far better system would be if there was a set period of time during which everyone could enter their maximum bids but no one could see what the current maximum was, and then after that it would just award it to whoever bid the most for just enough to beat the second-highest. Baldo  That's a creepy kid. Shoe  I assumed the joke here was that David Crosby is fat now, but I Googled him and he isn't.

They fly in the same way you or I might walk down the street, and the branch is as empty a bit of set-dressing as the feathers. It's possibly for the best though, as we don't need another Holbrook.

Hi. I have comics, some are good, some are bad. Cul-de-sac is good, you should read it every day.  The Creeps is also good, you should read it every monday through friday.  Candorville is bad and Darren Bell is a lazy poo poo.  Broom Hilda got a bad rap early on in an earlier version of this thread. People said it was a bad comic because it beat out f minus for something somewhere. They were wrong. It is secretly a p. funny comic.

Skippy (February 16, 1927) Peanuts (May 10, 1967)  Y'know, maybe Snoopy wants a little sugar in his coffee, too. How 'bout it, baby? Funky Winkerbean  So there you are. Crazy wasn't smirking out of some secret benevolence. Crazy was smirking because the person he's listening to is so clueless he can't hold it in. Y'know, the reason it happens in every other comic shop. Popeye  Rip Haywire  Pogo (May 9, 1956)  Droodles (March 8, 1956. May 9 was missing, so we might be jumping around a bit. It's not like it'd screw up a character arc or anything.)  The professor knows his stuff. If there's anything we've learned from Michael Scott, it's that sometimes people will do questionable things to wake up to the aroma of pork products. Out Our Way (December 3-4, 1924)  And yes, here comes another one that we can't explain away. You know the drill by now.

Ham Shears gets a song stuck in your head. The Dinette Set gets into Retail territory.  Seriously, gently caress the "oh I know you close in three minutes and want to go home but I still wanna shop" types. I was lucky that for a long time I had a manager who'd actually kick people out at closing time.
