Look at that sketchy Emmy Lou and friend in the back there. I love the art in this comic.

Weirdly, he doesn't have tape on his hand in the final panel and all of his fingers are in place. Who knew floor-cereal had such fantastic healing properties? :v:

But it's not "car race" movies he's after, it's "race car" movies! Who cares if it's being used to escape the cops in a diamond heist, it was made with speed in mind, baby!

Also, I was mildly annoyed by Guy Gilchrist's glurge up to this point (be warned: there will be a Jerry Goffin tribute in the works -- I hope it's a salute to 'He Hit Me, and it felt Like a Kiss') and in seeing what he's done to Nancy (I had a lot of the Ernie Bushmiller-flavoured Nancy comics as a kid), but as someone who has written quite a bit on Eldridge Johnson, Victor, and Nipper, I am now really annoyed with that hack. :argh:

Before I post these here comics, I guess I should mention I'm going out of town and won't be back until Wednesday or Thursday. I won't be posting comics while I'm gone and I probably won't feel like doing a catch-up post when I get back either. If there's anything I post that you happen to like and think the thread should keep up on, please feel free to post it! I generally post the vintage comics below, as well as Luann, Apartment 3G, Pros & Cons, Newspaper Spider-Man and Prince Valiant on Sundays. All this stuff except Luann can be found on the Comics Kingdom website. Ok! Comics time!
Will you start again where you left off with the classics? I don't want to lose where we are in Classic Phantom. I would post it until you're back, but I don't know where you are with it.

I think this is a legit interesting plot twist and I'm actually curious to see how it plays out. It's not enough to make up for the last several months of awful pacing ruining what otherwise could have been a perfectly good plot, but hey, this is the best it's been since it first started being posted.

Rock and roll is a state of mind.
But yeah, it does feel like the new incarnation of Jim's Journal rather regularly. Not objecting in any sense, but I'm just waiting for the first strip about a severe fight breaking out at a punk show, for example. Something with a bit more visceral fire to it, as most of the strips so far have felt like the comic strip equivalent of shoegaze.

e: vv Yeah, something more along those lines, at least recognizing violence as a rock element.
