Evil Mastermind posted:Working Daze is still in Big Bang Theory territory. Except, of course, it's already been established that the Flash and GA shows are in the same universe, and a non-powered Barry Allen was a guest star in several episodes of Arrow's last season ... If you're going to do geek humor at least be goddamn accurate, because geeks will pounce on any detail you get wrong. At least Bill Amend knows what he's writing about.

I like having a copy of both the digital version and the print version. The digital version makes it easy to carry around and get to the page I need to have open, in the case of say, Age of Rebellion or Edge of the Empire, but the books are for when I'm at home. There's something about the experience of actual wood pulp and ink in your hands that gives a lot more satisfaction than just the information. Particularly a really well made book, with care in the binding, beautiful illustrations, color used just right and the feel of thick, glossy paper. It involves more of your senses than just sight, great satisfaction.

Today went all pear-shaped, so you're going to have to settle for the short version of Sunday. Peanuts (September 10, 1967)  Funky Winkerbean  It's getting late, so let's see what the Comics Kingdom groundlings have to say today: Unca Scrooge said: "Not often you see the storyboard for a Cialis ad in the comic section." Yeah, that'll do for now. Also, apparently Cayla isn't black today. That's something the syndicate's going to hear about for awhile. Out Our Way (August 14-15, 1925)  Fun fact: Tex Austin was known as the Daddy of the Rodeo for his efforts at popularizing the rodeo beyond its southwestern roots. "Fun" fact: That's not to say it always went over without a hitch. A little over a year before this comic was published, Tex took his rodeo to the newly opened Wembley Stadium in London. Animal rights advocates tried to get the rodeo barred on the grounds of animal cruelty, and their efforts led to the Protection of Animals Act 1934, which (among other things) outlawed cinching a strap around the genitals of an animal to enhance its stage presence. That's still one of the fundamentals in the rodeo toolbox. Good clean family fun!  Peanuts: Year One (April 23-25, 1951)

EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean You know, around the time of the Les and Cayla Get Married storyline, I pointed out how Batiuk started drawing her differently as soon as she became engaged to Les -- before then, she wore her hair natural (in fact there was an entire storyline where she stopped straightening it and her daughter told her how good it looked natural) and her features and skin were drawn and colored differently. Maybe I just expressed myself badly, but everyone in the thread jumped on me and called me a racist with remarks like "Please, tell us how black people should wear their hair?!" But what I was complaining about was that Cayla used to be that rarity among newspaper comics, a person of color who was recognizably drawn as such. The only reason why I am even opening that can of worms up again is that the whitewashing of this character now that she's Les' wife has reached a ridiculous new peak. This is seriously supposed to be the same person? Now she looks like Jennifer Aniston with a light tan.  2013  2014  Edit: Oh, hey, apparently I'm not the only person who has noticed and been really bothered by this. http://itswalky.tumblr.com/post/96941094242/lets-watch-cayla-slowly-transform-into-a-white bonestructure fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Sep 8, 2014 |

Cul-de-sac continues to show why it was the singular best strip of its era.  The Creeps has body issues.  Poptropica he kinda looks more like a dog wearing a Hagar the Horrible helmet to me.  Heathcliff can't top HAM helmet.

Next the hair goes blonde.

One of my favourite things about Cul de Sac is how weeks, if not months, would go by before the pay-off of storylines; my absolute favourite was when the clown-stuck-in-the-overhead-lights finally fell back down onto the floor.

Ham Shears still has bad timing. The Dinette Set knows the secret to eating healthy.  Working Daze is still in Big Bang Theory territory, still doesn't have a punchline, and is still pretty much posting a Facebook update as a comic.

Skippy (June 20, 1927) Peanuts leads us to the point of no return. (September 11, 1967)  You remember when Funky Winkerbean took on a trainer? Remember how much hilarious fun it was watching his face turn purple and wondering if he was about to die? Well, strap in, bucko...  Popeye  Rip Haywire  Out Our Way (August 17-18, 1925)

Evil Mastermind posted:Am I the only one who finds Duck's art generally unsettling? I never had a problem with the cruel humor of Dave Berg, but Duck Edwing's dismemberments and flyblown corpses have always been effective in grossing me out. That one is relatively tame; he did some gruesome cartoons featuring various cannibals and medieval executioners that I think actually gave me nightmares as a kid.

Me too. I vividly remember the three botanists who got shish-kabobed by cannibals. Pickles contemplates death.   Bleeker suffers from miscommunication.
