Humanoid Female posted:I love how "this is my uncle's clinic" and "he's a prominent surgeon" somehow automatically mean he doesn't help the poor. In a perfect world, this setup would lead to the uncle turning out to be a prominent surgeon with a city clinic who helps the urban poor right there in the city, and he will kick seven kinds of poo poo out of Rosa and Gunther by pointing out that their altruism is really just a typical suburban rear end in a top hat's dream of being the Great White Savior to exotic jungle savages and look cool to their friends. I don't think altruism was ever part of either of their motivations. Rosa seems to be looking for an adventure while Gunther is just trying to hold onto Rosa. It's just two spoiled American teenagers on a lark before they go off to loving Yale. Wanamingo posted:Nancy F Minus  Mary Worth  Seriously, one of these two should know better than to talk so openly about this. Someone has died. There has to be tons of liability issues and poo poo here. Rex Morgan MD  Speaking of Rexpressions, this looks a little like his "Dirty Harry" look.

Luann And we all know there's absolutely no room for kindess, charity, or altruism in the shallow world of plastic surgery. The only people who would ever want nose or boob jobs are wealthy snooty Tiff-style socialites! Rosa's uncle chose a selfish branch of surgery and he must be a Bad Person.

What I love is how it's pretty clearly implied that neither of these two idiots even know what the hell this uncle did other than 'clinic in another country'. It's not just Gunther either. I wonder if the end of this story arc is going to be 'Uh, oh poo poo, I wonder if I can still get into that university that accepted me, because when I asked to help out at the clinic the uncle just asked me to hand out fliers'.

Sometimes I worry that I post too much comics. But I guess I can share this, since I only have a handful. This was a short-lived comic strip that ran in the 1980s, called "Rudy". It's about a talking monkey who used to be a big movie star, only he's now a has-been. The strip chronicled him trying to make a comeback. I only heard about this strip recently. A cartoonist/animator I'm friends with told me about it, saying that he considers this to be the last comic strip he truly liked, only to disappear after couple of years. I decided to look it up, and sure enough somebody scanned a bunch of strips:     Does anybody remember this strip? Mister Beeg fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Aug 29, 2014 |

Mister Beeg posted:Does anybody remember this strip? I do. The decline of the comics page was in full swing at the time and suddenly there's this well-drawn, reasonably funny strip out of nowhere. I really liked it, and was sorry to see it end. In fact, I almost started posting it here at one point, but you know…  Seeing it now it's not quite as good as I remember, but I still wouldn't mind reading through it again. I think there was a collection published at one point, god knows if it's findable tho.

I really liked it, and was sorry to see it end. Heh, the said cartoonist friend mentioned told me the same thing. He groused at the quality of newspaper strips at the time through present (he felt "Bloom County" was too ugly), so he was happy to see this strip pop up. Like you, he was sad to see it go after a short time.

Mister Beeg posted:Sometimes I worry that I post too much comics. I know the rule is  , but I'd appreciate it if you didn't post a wall of Mad comix three times per page. The art is ugly, the "jokes" are offensive and Spy vs. Spy is just the worst thing in existence. At this point I'm even looking forward to reading Mike du Jour because at least it's something different and it just makes me angry, not nauseous.

Mister Beeg posted:Few days ago I purchaed "MAD About Comic Strips". It's a book reprinting newspaper comics parodies that MAD did over the years, from the beginning to early 2000s (the book came out in 2003). Naturally it's full of stuff that this thread'll love.  don Jaime posted:Bleeker: Why mothers go gray.

If you think Spy vs Spy is the worst comic strip, then you should be glad I'm on holiday and can't get into my imgur account. Although that doesn't excuse Beeg's politoon hyperbole.

And they are now posting the exactly same ones I read back in the day, so it's nostalgic to read them again. Some stuff has lost its charm, but Sergio Aragones is still as good as it was back then.

I have to jump on the "keep posting MAD Mister Beeg" bandwagon. I enjoy them, but yes I am also guilty of scrolling past a wall of them every now and then just because I'm in a hurry. And, contrary to other opinions here, I really like "Berg's Eye View". Although, I've always had a soft spot for one-liners. And (I know we're pretty much done with the story arc), I keep mentally inserting Kaputnik's visage every time Dr. Kaphut's name is mentioned in Mary Worth.  Jane's World  Wait, who's Rick? And, I'm taking it he's gay? Non Sequitur  Liberry? I still have a set of hard copy encyclopedias I bought when my oldest was a baby. Yeah, no substitute for decent internet research, and they're dated, but still, if you're researching Moby Dick or something, they pretty much still apply. Heavenly Nostrils  I wish that if she was going to do reruns it would have been something from long ago rather than this arc which seems to be to be so recent. Kliban  Yep, dude's totally stoned.9 Chickweed Lane 8/29/2003  Whatever. Dumb. Zits  I'd say the noise from the milk foamer would probably attract some attention too. Kevin & Kell  I don't know  . I gut laughed at "Is it buzzing?". This is a pretty cool embodiment of Nemi, and is one of the reasons I really like the strip. She's just a spazzy, happy little kid with millions of inane questions...

I'm with Mr. Beeg. You don't like reading actual content in the comic thread? Then scroll on by or don't loving read it. Don't loving scare off one of the few contributors that brings NEW and GOOD and INTERESTING content to the loving thread. Or here's an idea: find and post your own strips! Or an even better one: make edits and post them! Like R Ubbish! Or Borden! Or like Tiistai started out doing and is now a regular contributor of weird rear end awesome strips! Christ on a god drat crutch, loving goons I swear. Here's your god drat Cul-de-sac  Your hysterical loving Creeps  Your Annoying Poptropica  and your bizarre motherfucking Heathcliff Hallelujia, holy poo poo, where's the tylenol?
