EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean Oh, this is the best way this could possibly end. She just cuts open the comic because her son isn't interested in things like having a nice collection, he just likes them there comics. This could only be better if she presents this collection to her son (he's alive and deployed, not dead, right?) and he thumbs through it to find this issue he knows is super rare, and suddenly realizes what condition the comic was in before his mom crammed it haphazardly into the storage box without a sleeve. And he sighs and nods and thanks his mom and dies a little on the inside because he had no chance of owning such a rare comic in perfect condition through his own means. He knows it's a beautiful gesture that she completed his collection, but he also is completely unsurprised she didn't bother putting the effort into learning a single thing about actual comic collecting before she did it, which has defined his entire life growing up with her as a mother.

It was pretty neat to see Bill Watterson's art in those Pearls strips the last few days. Never really followed the strip much myself.

The Sphinxster posted:I'm betting on beauty tips. That happened once before, I think back in the 80s. Original Berniece was drawn even more aggressively plain than now, with thick glasses and lank straight hair. There was a plotline where Tiffany gave her a makeover (iirc just to be nice, that bitch)and she became all glam and gorgeous and popular and then she decided that was all too shallow for her and stopped dressing up and went back to being Luann's dowdy friend. The contacts and frizzy perm were the only things she kept from the makeover. Why do I remember things like this.  I could have used that brain space for something worthwhile while I was studying for my last certification test.

Johnny Walker posted:Getting Watterson is quite a coup, and, like others have said, I do enjoy the Sunday pun strips. I don't think PBS is bad, just not as good as it used to be and maybe running out of things to do to keep it fresh. I'd even go so far as to call myself a fan. Pastis seems like a cool guy too. There are far worse strips and I'd probably be pissed if PBS was canceled and something like--I don't know--Tank McNamara was still around. The faces in the last panels of Mary and Rex are amazing. I for one hope they never get cancelled

Bonestructure made me read Luann Againn to find "aggressively plain Bernice". Bonestructure is lucky I hate myself that much. (Some time in the godforsaken 1980s.) Tiffany also gave Gunther a makeover a few years ago and it was...well, a partial success. (2005)  Before, he was a four-eyed goober. Now he's a beady-eyed goober! It's an improvement! Admit I'm right!

Helicity posted:It's like Scary Movie 3 when the officers hat keeps getting larger every time they cut to her. So what happened in ZNJ over the last few weeks? The general idea of a private detective being hired to investigate a murder only to find out that the client just wanted him to act as a referee in their killing-and-regenerating game could be really funny, if the writer had any sense of comedic timing or narrative pacing at all. Too bad he doesn't!

No, because this would actually be interesting as a plot and would involve character growth that doesn't involve Tiffany being an nonredeemable rear end in a top hat.
