Are you skipping strips or do they come that way straight from the source? There's supposed to be at least one between these two where Calvin's mom persuades his dad to go look for Hobbes ("Would my father have done this for me? Of course not!") and it's not the first time I've noticed it. Just the first where I can pinpoint exactly what's missing.

Yeah, I'm currently skipping Sunday strips until I can get them scanned in and synced up again.

Oh man, you guys, I have some excellent Animal Comix for you today.  White's in a pretty good position in the first strip. He's got an easy jump on one of black's kings in his next move, and both his kings are against the edges of the board. Eventually the sheep are going to remember that they're scared of everything and run off in every possible direction, but he's good until then. Ballard Street  Holy poo poo, a Ballard Albertosaurus.

Kennel posted:Mustapukuinen Mies - A Man in Black These strips depend on humerous reversals but the thought of a mysterious poisonous or otherwise dangerous room is not more scary than a room filled with human remains. It's a really good strip though, I love these silent european strips. RandomFerret posted:Oh man, you guys, I have some excellent Animal Comix for you today. This is a good strip mostly because of the charmingly-drawn stacked sheep. Mr. Squishy fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jun 2, 2014 |

Ugh. Kids are so needy with their having to be parented all the time. This strip, being set in a time when people were still basically socially required to have kids as soon as they got married, is such a good argument for not pressuring people to have kids if they don't want them. So often you hear people say, "Yeah, I thought I felt that way at first too, but then you have the kid and realize it's the best thing that ever happened to you!" and Foob gives you none of that. Luann  That's totally appropriate to say to one of his peers! Apartment 3-G  I wonder if the colorist knows that's not Lu Ann. Pros & Cons  Sally Forth  The Amazing Spider-Man

My school just made everybody who still had a 4.0 be valedictorian and give a 3-4 minute speech. We had 13. It was rather dull.

We were given our class rankings every semester. This led to a hilarious conclusion where the guy who had been in the top spot all the way through high school got displaced in the last semester by somebody else, and gave the most petulant, phoned-in salutatorian speech ever. Also, I'd like to remind everyone that Leslie Knox's last villainous act in the strip was to try to take a whiz in the boy's bathroom.

Okay, time to play catch-up! Pogo (June 1-2 and 4, 1956)    You've seen this guy before during the Pandemonium arc, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time you would've seen him if I had done this the right way around, so here he is again.

Napoleon being the big bad is a little on the nose for my tastes, considering how much LXG went into stuff from 1984 in the Black Dossier. I think I'm getting too invested in this silly parody story.

Napoleon will be perfect for the bad guy, but for the full effect, "N" should have been Napoleon in the first place, and Nicodemus should have replaced him after he gets beaten. "Bruce" must mean Kotik is about to meet Jaws. Also, I did not need to know Bud pees on the floor. Wanamingo posted:Judge Judy isn't an actual judge, right? Pretty sure I've heard that somewhere before. She was a family court judge and refers to it often. Now, of course, she's just a TV personality.

Wanamingo posted:Zippy the Pinhead She is (or was, I don't remember) an actual judge, she's just not acting in her capacity as a judge on the show. On the show she serves the role of an arbitrator, which is why she's allowed to do things like calling the case in favor of one party because the other mouthed off to her or something.
