To be fair I know a kid whose pet parrot was eaten by a stray cat. Unless he was bullshitting me but it was a kid and he seemed legit sad about it.

I read that as "a kid whose parent was eaten by a stray cat," and couldn't believe that you didn't think he was bullshitting you.

They use guns that shoot wooden stakes shaped and painted to look like carrots.

Well, technically we've only seen a terrorist group fighting against predators use them but they had to come from somewhere.

I absolutely love the new era of Mark Trail. Better-drawn, shirtless Mark Trail demonstrates that when you're attacked by a bear, the ideal answer is to run toward an even larger bear. Why? I don't give a drat. I just want to see what happens next, and I never EVER thought I'd say that about any Mark Trail story arc.

Seriously, this feels as good as when the new team got ahold of Dick Tracey :allears:
Let's not hope though, that like Dick Tracy, it turns into a loving mess with a ton of annoying characters and plotlines being created and dropped at any time like so many creepy siblings in a lake.

Yes, no one likes to be the mean parent who tells the kids to do their homework and take out the trash before they watch TV. And since Arthur just wants to be the cool uncle who lets the kids stay up past bedtime while mom's not around and no convenient scapegoat around to do the dirty work, the responsibility falls on you Marla. Although it would be less sad if the children weren't department supervisors in their 30s.

I can't quite find the words to express why, but this crap is even worse than Brooke's masturbatory nonsense. Maybe I'm just numb to one and not the other (there's only so much 9CWL and Pibgorn one can experience before acquiring mental calluses), but Nancy is just so bad. It's awful at a level that makes me think "I shouldn't be getting this mad at newspaper comics; that's really dumb."

(The new Mark Trail is excellent, however. I wasn't following the thread at all for a while and have been skimming a bit since I came back, so I don't know when it changed hands, but I'm really digging it)

EDIT: I found some words, but they don't do it justice: eye-rollingly saccharine, sentimentalist pap mangling an existing character into a twisted proxy for the author in a truly stunning act of self-indulgence.

It's retconning sappy dramatics into a comic strip where retconning sappy dramatics into it makes absolutely zero loving sense.

I'm trying to think of something involving Snuffy Smith that would be as ridiculous as a metaphor but apparently I'm no Guy Gilchrist because none of them are terrible enough. Give it to some political cartoonist and have Barney Google come back, be stunningly handsome, and also a successful self-insert libertarian I guess?

NO ONE risks painful injury on your GREEN SLIME GHOST POGO RIDE.

No one but YOU.
So in Mandrake how come nobody on the police decided to loving tail a serial criminal? Catching him in the act sure as gently caress wouldn't let the case be dropped from an alibi?

Also if Mandrake hadn't decided to gently caress around for 7 years with the lead investigator maybe they could've actually prepared a sting on the loving criminal.

God drat that comic is the pits.
