I feel like sending Batiuk a copy of Harlan Ellison's "Somehow, I Don't Think We're In Kansas Anymore, Toto." Now THAT'S how you rant about Hollywood ruining your awesome ideas.

Les slumping around with the bitchface permanently welded on, muttering petulant little asides about how much he hates everything? Just makes me feel sorry for the people who have to deal with him.

Hell, if Gunther spends his whole time in Peru being ravaged by some unspecified gastrointestinal distress, I'll defend Evans myself.

"Say what you want about that Luann comic, but Gunther didn't even bother to bring any antibiotics with him to Peru and spent the next few weeks making GBS threads and praying for death. Now that's realism!"

What gets me is they accepted his first script in a timely manner, they flew him out first class to continue to work on it personally, they put him up in a swanky chateau; I'm not an expert on the ins and outs of screenwriting but by my standards it looks like they consider him the Golden Child of the business. It's almost like a satire on Funky.

*Note, game may or may not be popular. Or good. Either way, I remember that Monty started as a tie-in to a doll and came out pretty good.

My little brother used to play it - it didn't look very good. I guess it was kind of like a platformer where you sort of lob yourself around. I think it may or may not have been made by the guy who wrote the Wimpy Kids books.
He hasn't played it in ages though so I'm guessing its more for younger kids and he just grew out of it.

I think that is supposed to be a punch, and the weird midget robot bad guy (???) is supposed to be flying away from him, towards the "camera," it's just hard to tell because the artist has no understanding of composition.

First panel his left hand is on the MRBGs neck, right hand is clenched into a fist like he's about to punch. Third panel is the exact same thing. It looks like nothing has transpired between these panels. You know why? Because it's Zach Johnson. And the action is always ham-handed.

Why would they immediately assume the dog is part of some purse-snatching scheme and that the owner should be arrested? maybe it's just a poorly behaved dog that grabs stuff from people? maybe the dog just took her purse because it's a loving dog and it just buried it somewhere like the dumb idiot animal it is? maybe there was no malicious intent here at all?

You know, I get that a lot of people knock Gunther, but one thing I want to say about the latest Luann comic is... Quill's full of poo poo. I mean with his yammering about the importance of being spontaneous and acting as if he was like that.

Quill didn't spontaneously decide to move to America to visit Luann. He made a very deliberate, calculated decision where he got into a nearby school on a work-study program. He's been depicted as being responsible, reasonable and careful in just about everything he does in that context. Hell, when Luann bitched that she hardly saw him he stressed that he was working on his career - he didn't spontaneously say 'I'll skip work today so we can have fun!' Meanwhile he's telling Gunther to just do things like give up going to the very university he wanted to go to to fly off to Peru with a girl who (unless I missed something) may not want him to go with her anyway.

Maybe all this has been pointed out, but hey, it just occurred to me.

At Quill's suggestion, Gunther gave Rosa a call and asked if she wanted him to go. She was like, "Ok, yeah, of course I totally want you to go! It's just that, oh, man! You have all these plans and things! You don't want to go to Peru! Such a shame. It would have been awesome to have you there. Bye!" *click*

Now, if this were real life, I'd say she actually prefers he not come, but she wants to let him down easy - maybe even let him think the breakup was his choice. This is Luann, though, so as tepid as her response was, odds are good that her words should be taken at face value.
