Cosima posted:That is 100% a reverse engineered joke from the initial funny thing which was just pig hitler. That's pretty much why it's amazing, though. Bushmiller's writing process wasn't "where do I take this setup," it's "what setup would make this punchline make remote sense?" e: Someone should post classic Nancy again. I don't have the Fantagraphics books and I have no clue where else to look for it.

Drimble Wedge posted:Edit: This summer, the British Library is filling its gallery with the biggest exhibition of British comics ever seen in this country. The curator of the show considers the peculiar resistance of the literary establishment to the blending of prose and pictures They also have a shop outside where you can pick up a pretty sizable and comprehensive collection of secondary literature if you want and have the cash. I learned that what we do here with edits is well within the very fine tradition of 60s underground artists who would publish collage comic strips with well-known characters who'd often get up to sexual misadventures. The more things change.

I don't really hate DOGG, it's just pandering to its audience. My biggest beef with his Nancy isn't that he's doing what he's doing, exactly, it's that he's using an established and previously very good comic to do it (and making GBS threads all over Bushmiller's legacy in the process).

 City board: - We're still waiting for pastor Kuivalainen - He always leaves everything until the last drop - Come on - There's still some!! I don't remember if you can use "the last drop" when you mean "the last moment" in English, but it looks fine to me. By the way, many Finnish surnames have suffixes like -nen or -lainen and there's really no way to translate them, especially since I don't know what they actually mean. What I do know is that kuiva means dry.  Amp up your salad with avocado oil. - What's in this? - Amphetamine and avocado oil This one is great. Piristää means "to refresh" (as in "that was refreshing"), "to cheer up" or like in this case more figuratively "to enliven", "to spice up" etc. To make something perkier and livelier, in essence. Piristä is its imperative form and I translated it here as "amp up". Piri is a street word for amphetamine, and piristä would be basically "from meth". It's grammatically strange in English, but basically the pun is "From meth, [make] a salad by using avocado oil." Perfectly understandable in Finnish even though it lacks the verb. Fok_It  A rare case of a pun working better when translated, here. In Finnish he had to say "Hey it's the 13th day-". At this point I'm pretty much using "bloody hell" because it's kinda funny in its own right.

Trilobite posted:I think Mandrake gets his power from wasting someone's time. You ask him a question, and he uses it an opportunity to monopolize your attention for hours with whatever bullshit he can come up with. You asked about aliens? Here's a bunch of sketches of things that could be aliens, but probably aren't. Settle in, lady, I'm just getting warmed up. You need help catching a criminal? Let me magic away your pants and throw you in a tree and make illusions for days until he strikes again, and maybe even after that. You and a master of disguise came up to kill me? After I stop you, you can sit there while I make the disguise guy do impressions of everyone I have ever met in my entire life. Maybe once you've been an all-powerful wizard for long enough you have to find other hobbies. Mandrake is trying to break into the comics industry and he's seeing what that woman thinks of his new concept sketches.

Wanamingo posted:Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz This strip is going to give me an aneurism. If you're going to murder your rival and need an alibi, why do it by flipping a photo? Why just just have someone else take the picture of your wife. Or take the picture on a different day. Or any countless number of different ways than make more sense than flipping the photo. Or, gently caress, you're in the mafia, just get one of your lackey to off the guy. Then you can actually be at your alibi! gently caress!

Maybe Inspector Danger is actually a meta strip and the real quiz is to find seven things that make no sense.

Wanamingo posted:Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz Wait hold on Inspector Danger says that the date on the ticket is right, but if they were in Dogburg at only 9 AM how did they see a movie? Maybe it's just because I live in a small town but I've never heard of theaters starting shows before about noon at the earliest, usually after 1 PM though.

Wanamingo posted:Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz I expect too much from this comic. Here I thought the clock having no numbers was just an abstraction of the simple art style. One has to take everything at face value, even if it wouldn't make sense in a real-world situation. Twelve by Pies posted:Wait hold on Inspector Danger says that the date on the ticket is right, but if they were in Dogburg at only 9 AM how did they see a movie? Maybe it's just because I live in a small town but I've never heard of theaters starting shows before about noon at the earliest, usually after 1 PM though. Obviously a cinema only prints the date on the tickets, not the time of your movie!

If they were going to fake the time anyway, why isn't the guy in the photo and not his wife? What the hell does that photo prove? Why did they need to fake an alibi for someone who didn't commit the murder anyway?

mtomato posted:If it's 5 minutes to a full hour, then it makes sense for the hour hand to point slightly upwards as shown in the photo. Are you trying to out-Danger Danger himself here? If you mirror that clock then it's 9:05 and the hour hand points slightly above nine as it should.

When that idiotic beret got shoved onto that kid's head in Rex Morgan, I thought there was eventually going to be a moral about letting your kid be themselves, but nope, that stupid beret's still pointlessly on, sans comment, while the adults high five themselves that at least they don't demean kids around like that fat boy bully. Stupid fatty. What a charming strip. Cow and Boy

scarycave posted:Why is he getting naked? Are we heading into Custer's Revenge territory? Why is he even 8 bit? I've completely lost track of what is even supposed to be happening in ZNJ. I am just not getting this strip.  When my kids were little, I'd be unnerved if it was too quiet.  Aw, Dana! You missed a perfect chance to cameo the Ray/motorcycle/mountain thing!  Bungee? That's a slingshot that Amos is in. It would've been way funnier if you would've drawn Amos as a crumpled heap about 50 feet away, and then had Juliette say "When will slingshot cartooning be outlawed." You blew it though. Zits  I tend to talk like Sara. The "detailed documentation" quality of my job as a programmer tends to leak over into my everyday conversation. I usually get yelled at for it.
