Johnny Aztec posted:Ugggg, I thought this was the direction it was going when the father rounded up a posse. It was so ham handed over the top " MAN IS THE REAL MONSTER" bullshit, that I wonder if Tim Buckley isn't writing this. Okay, that's way over the line. This is miles better than Tim Buckley's poo poo. There's well more than a semblance of plot, the characters are well believable, and the setting actually has content. Moreover, remember that this story is being told by a teenager, and that the posse has every right to be worked up in blood considering they're hunting something that eats children. I believe fully in redemption, and it makes for excellent plotlines, but right now you are looking at the story through the lens of a teenager. Everything is heavy-handed and simple at that age.

Whatever your feelings about Lost Side of Suburbia are, you can't deny that we're getting some great deranged faces from that mob.

Besides, there's still the chance that the girl saves Heckbender then it eats her anyway. Maybe the monster is the real monster here.

Wanamingo posted:Lost Side of Suburbia I figured something like this was going to happen the moment all the guys, her father included, were drawn as furious hate-monsters. You could tell by the art alone. So, the monster kidnaps her and her brother, intends to eat them, chains her in place... but hey, he liked books. That makes him better than the guys who are angry and hunting the monster, who she's sure would hate those books because..? Meh. Meh to it all.

I think the LSoS is definitely an enjoyable comic, and I agree, that I'd hate to see the story that was developed as well as it was, end in a clichéd way. Are there more after this story winds up? Or, does it just continue on. Jill's a dyke to watch our for in today's Jane's World  TGIF. Non Sequitur's dumb story is about to finish up. Thank God.  Heavenly Nostrils  It's entirely possible to get glasses with zero power lenses. Just ask any hipster with 20/20 vision.  Kliban  Huh. Ok. You make me think too hard, Bernard.  9 Chickweed Lane 5/9/2003  Not funny at all, Brooke, just stupid. Zits  Speaking of stupid. dadclothes.png Kevin & Kell  I saw it coming, but not bad, Holbrook. I do about 90% of my work from home, and when I need to "commute" to our corporate office, it's 1/4 mile away. The server farm I maintain is 2 miles outside of town. Don't hate. Nemi  It's me. I'm Grimm. But my wife is like that too, so we just end up pissing off whichever set of kids is watching with us by discussing everything, because they're not like that. "Will you guys go talk about it in the kitchen, or, better yet, just shut up?"

Are there more after this story winds up? Or, does it just continue on. There are a couple of weeks left in this story, and several more stories after that. Kory switches up who has the lead role, but some characters show up in multiple stories and he keeps continuity. Trying to be careful not to spoiler for people who haven't been following LSOS since the beginning, so... There's a twist at the end of this one. He doesn't go for the obvious ending. If you remember the end of The Bogey (the one that the end of was posted in the previous thread), there's a callback to this story at the very end of it.

Women's moreso, although I still find the combination of leotards and a ripped-neck sweatshirt strangely Droolworthy Comix. Pooch Café  Still possible that Fish is in there.

Tiggum posted:Why not just shoot him through the window? What was actually achieved by propping it open? And couldn't the housekeeper have just left the window propped open with anything, then closed it when she returned since she was the one who was going to "discover" the body anyway? The camera is clearly outside the room and couldn't have seen that the window was open. If she shot him through the window, she'd lose her alibi. With a bullethole in the glass, it would be obvious that the shot came from outside, so the fact that she left before the murder and wasn't caught on camera re-entering the home wouldn't matter. As for the "propped open with anything" part, that's just so you have a clue to go off of in the form of a puddle. Inspector Danger so rarely gives actual clues instead of insane jumps of logic that no one could reasonably come up with off the top of their head that I'll cut it some slack when it does.
