I remember once hearing that the standard plot of exposition, rising action, crisis, resolution was the result of male domination of the arts and carried obvious sexual connotations, and that a purely "female" plot would look a lot different.

Fortunately, the real murderer is a polydactylic freak with five fingers on each hand, so he should be easy to find. He probably moonlights as a professional dog-walker, judging by the copious turds surrounding the gloves.

Sorry don't have much time for comics this week so if anyone's missing Retail or Holbrook or whatever you'll have to catch up with it yourself.The answer posted:
Slylock Fox How does Slylock know that he must measure precisely 8 ounces to neutralize the explosive liquid, since it's apparently a new solution that's just been invented and he wouldn't know its contents? Did Weirdly tell him? Why would he believe him? Was Slylock just looking for a chance to finally put those brain teasers he had to learn as a kid to use? "Trust me Max, I know what I'm doing."

Okay, so this new Mark Trail seems to actually be drawn by an actual person. And that person deliberately makes the phones look like he's cut old fashioned rotary phone handsets out of their hands and just crudely drawn a box in there, despite not cut-and-pasting it but actually drawing it. Why.

Though, it's weird recognizing that the only reason that this is so entertaining is because it's just referencing things I'm familiar with.

For all its faults I think I'm really liking the last arc better than this one, if only because I hardly get any of the references.

Rather than here where Toto is insane because...experiments? and can talk outside of Oz because... and his inclusion invites questions about how he even relates to an anthropomorphic universe when he's never been anything more than just a dog. The posters presumably put Napoleon up as the killer of Old Yeller and Bambi (because he's a villain!!!), but these are literally nothing other than Family Guy beats because those characters have established deaths that have nothing to do with this story.

Ghostlight posted:Not really. The League's big thing wasn't so much that it just referenced the things characters were from, but that it effectively tried to create a homogenous universe in which all of these characters and their extant adventures could happily co-exist, with the benefit that doing so drew on a huge well of "world-building" and characterisation that had already been done and established with the audience. There's an easter egg element within it, but the draw (at least for me) was more how Moore then allows that conglomeration to permute around and in reaction to the cast's characters. The idea that it's any less arbitrary or wink wink nudge nudge than League, a book that got so far up itself you needed annotated annotations, is amusing to me. Oh no, the comic book for middle schoolers made a joke.

Ghostlight posted:<snip> Yeah, I thought those posters were weird as well. "Bambi's Mother" instead of a name is really awkward. And I agree that Toto is done in a horribly hamfisted manner here. While Bunnicula seems like a wry reference, every panel with Toto has him awkwardly shouting things to make sure we absolutely positively have no doubt who the character is. Every. Panel. It's pretty annoying.

Moore's League also does a good job of exploring the characters he chose, to show that talent and abilities didn't mean they weren't both a superteam and a broken collection of losers. He also worked in a nice twist by making their leader turn out to be a villain. This thing is just full of holes. A complete list would run pages. I was going to ask why Toto instead of, say, the Lion or the leader of the Winged Monkeys, but that's covered. So I'll point out that a great white shark is now in a sewer pipe that dumps into the Thames. I want this to be good, and for kids it might work, but it could be a lot better. Geech is creamed something on toast today.

Historically, going to the opera was always far more about the people watching than the opera watching anyway so this is entirely appropriate of Randy. The porch venue would be odd, but this is Ballard Street. People (and dogs) parade around in bizarre outfits longing for attention all the time.
