Zachary Nixon Johnson

Wait, why does Glitter Rock have so many Zach clones? I thought he couldn't actually use them because they wouldn't have Harv? Or was that just for using them as decoys, while using them as extra lives for the real Zach somehow transfers Harv to them?

I guess the real question is, what exactly is Harv? Is he a machine implanted in Zach's head, that would have to be manually re-implanted into a clone?

Actually, the real question is, "Why am I bothering to think so hard about this?"

It just dawned on me that everyone in this strip is a total stereotype on top of being woefully incompetent. Man this comic is bad.


Yep, better to let everyone toil away for hours than "abuse" the savant's power. And this doesn't really make sense after saying it took Lunker and Donnie months to count the inventory from last week.

I might like it better if the panels weren't a) printed with big color dots that make them look like knockoff Roy Lichtensteins and b) another example of Gilchrist taking advantage of Ernie Bushmiller's legacy.

Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz


Fun fact: When police assume that the victim knew the killer, it's usually because there wasn't any forced entry. They rarely take into account the possibility that the victim left a door unlocked or that a stranger could have talked their way in.

Since the advent of DNA testing, hundreds of convictions have been overturned that had been built on the fact that the victim knew the killer, which means many times more innocent people have likely been put to death over the years based on nothing more than an unlocked door.

Oh, wait, did I say fun fact? I meant horrifying.

a) you know that Lichtenstein didn't invent those dots right? Criticising blown-up comic panels for looking like blown-up comic panels is mental
b) you see the fingerprints of Gilchrist in this? Sure he gets co-credit but the driving force of this one seems to be webcomic pervert John Lotshaw of Accidental Centaurs. The worst thing to say is that it's incredibly uninspired. People have been batting around Nancy Panels for ages, and this just seems like a monolithic version of Five Card Nancy.

And.. drat.. there's that fill pattern again! I wonder if it's just GoComics

These are Moire patterns :eng101:! You'll see them when you resize a halftone pattern down from its original resolution, the dots start overlapping each other and produce weird patterns. The basic rule of thumb for digital drawing is you work large and then resize down for web view. 300dpi is the bare minimum you want to work at with 600dpi being the most common (making your canvas size around 5000px wide and 7000px tall if you're working roughly 8.5"x11").

My guess is Dana has a rasterized halftone pattern she's using in Photoshop and when raster images are resized, the computer does its best to fill in information gaps, leading to Moire in halftones. The tones would show up normally if the image is printed, though, because you print using the high-res file rather than the low-res one you put on a website.

There are some programs that use vector or bitmap screentones, those resize down smoothly and look good no matter if they're high or low res. Manga Studio is a good one for this.

For example, a tone like this one looks fine when it's that big size, but resized down for web it looks pretty crummy. I also did a square with Manga Studio's tones option to compare the difference.

Assuming Ed has what google tells me is an average salary for a lawyer in America he wouldn't even need to work a full day to pay off the $400 for a dental guard of the same type I have. If he has a better-than-average salary, he would have it paid off before lunch time. This is, of course, also assuming he doesn't have dental insurance, which he may not if he's the kind of clown to buy a gum shield from Dick's just to spite a dentist.

Ed is the absolute madness at the core of the Just World hypothesis. It's fine for Ed to drop $1000 on cycling gear because he earned that money. Dustin asking for $20 to mow the lawn instead of $10 is the greatest injustice in the world because Dustin didn't work hard like Ed did to earn that money. I mean, if Dustin had put effort in that deserved more than $10 he would be getting more than $10 for it, wouldn't he? Ed thinks this without even a shred of consideration for it being him that controls how much Dustin makes here.
