Wanamingo posted:There's a human kid in the strip for some reason now, so I'm willing to bet he'll do an omnivore story soon. Knowing his track record, it'll be a bisexuality metaphor. There was already an omnivore thing with the bear, kind of. Apparently he was vegetarian and then started eating meat.  Bonus I found while looking for that strip:  .What a hosed up society.

I think we should just take him to the zoo and feed him to something bigger than he is. I'm sure he'd approve. Pickles has forgotten as many as ten impossible things before breakfast!  Bleeker implies Skip doesn't always smell like that.

DoubleDonut posted:Man, the more I see of Kevin and Kell, the more I think Holbrook should seek help. I think a lot of K&K's weirdness come from Holbrook not thinking about what he's writing beyond the surface level (or a really shallow metaphor like "diet = race/sexuality/whatever"); he doesn't look at how things like children playing with entrails or the kid eating the piss-bush are really hosed up, he just writes whatever comes to mind. Personally, I'm more disturbed by the themes of domination and powerlessness that are present in all three of his comics. It doesn't even fit in On the Fastrack, since it lacks the superscience of SH and the everything of K&K, but he manages to shoehorn it in anyway with the computer bug stuff.

Tunicate posted:Wizards! No sense of right and wrong. I know this is an old post, but this recently came up in a D&D game, and we established that, in fact, wizards have an extremely detailed sense of right and wrong. In fact, they have a book listing all the things which are known to be right, and every level they add at least two more things to that book.

Wanamingo posted:Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz And here I thought it was going to be something convoluted like the woman with a bobbed hairstyle. Inspector Danger does weird things to my sense of deductive reasoning. My Lovely Horse posted:A professional skier "would never make such a mistake" but a professional writer naturally would. Further proof of Inspector Danger's antiintellectualist bias. A man who was allegedly just angry would not likely grab the wrong skis, but a man that was shot to death might reasonably be expected to make a typo.

cobalt impurity posted:A man who was allegedly just angry would not likely grab the wrong skis, but a man that was shot to death might reasonably be expected to make a typo. Perhaps, but the ski murder occurred at midnight and the solution said that the murderers didn't realize that they had grabbed mismatched skis specifically due to the darkness - a fact that would actually make the murderers' cover story of "oh dear, how could this have happened? He was a professional," all the more plausible. Wanamingo posted:Inspector Danger's Crime Quiz Can't have it both ways, Inspector. <  >

Eh, its weird. But animals eat gross poo poo all the time without giving a gently caress. Can't really say it bothers me too much. Aside from not being funny. You guys are looking too deep into this stuff. It's just a cartoon where everyone's happy and cannibal murder is legal and completely cool. Unless they try that poo poo on the good guys, then they're savage monsters who are usually naked despite everyone else is wearing clothes.

Peanuts (August 13, 1967) The Continuing Misadventures of the Immaculately Pure Artist (otherwise known as Writer Guy)  It might be different for different directors, but don't they usually discourage actors from asking those types of questions of the writers? I seem to remember a story about Michael J. Fox doing this for one of his movies and it was a pretty covert meeting. Anyway, it's absolutely lovely how he's winning over his crusty assistant with empty platitudes directed at other people. Classic Popeye Sunday, in which spinach's favorite son begins doubting his virility. (c. 1942)  Pogo (August 3, 1969)  First-Gen Blondie (c. October 1942-ish)   Out Our Way (June 12-13, 1925)  See? Told you they weren't dead.

Tiggum posted:I don't get this one. It is an amazingly British reference. Short version: That guy is called Jeremy Hardy, he cannot sing. Long version: There is a BBC radio programme called "I'm sorry I haven't a clue", which is a comedy panel game wherein a bunch of old comedians play nonsensical games and make hideous puns. It's in something like it's 60th series after 40 years with three original members still involved. That man, Jeremy Hardy, has become one of the regulars who fills the empty panel spot left by the late Willie Rushton (who died almost 20 years ago). A few of the staple rounds involve the panel members attempting to sing songs, either with the music fading out for an extended period while they try to stay in time, or the lyrics of one song to the tune of another (in the round called "one song to the tune of another"). Jeremy Hardy really, really cannot sing, so everybody delights in making him do so.

I was curious, so I looked up Werner Wejp-Olsen, the creator of "Inspector Danger". Turns out he's a Danish cartoonist who has had several strips appear in US newspapers while there. He finally relocated to California in 1989. His first for the US market was Granny and Slowpoke, running 1976-77. It's about a cigar-smoking grandmother and her dog.   His second was The Maestro and Amalita, running 1978-79. About an opera company. 'Cause average Americans care about opera.   He had three more strips in US papers, "Inspector Danger" being one of them.
