Dustin He actually did a pretty good job on the costume. On the Fastrack  Yeah, that's more than most people accomplish. Public shaming would be the guy who hacked KMart. Who the hell would bother to hack KMart? Heaven's Love Thrift Shop  Thrift stores usually have lots of bargain bin DVDs too if you're into that kind of thing. Slylock Fox  It's really rude to barge in one people when they're taking a bath, Slylock.

Not to mention that the fish is already acclimatized to that bowl. A pro would never risk doing anything to cause environmental shock in such a valuable specimen. The fish Inspector Danger found in the basement later proved to be a motorized singing fish trophy. The Inspector had gin on his breath and was heard saying "Alpy... c'mere. C'mere. You gotta lishen to dis fucken fitsh. Itsh incrediddle."

Also, a tiny open bowl on a random counter somewhere in your house is definitely exactly where you'd put your irreplacable trillion dollar fish.

I thought at first it was a colorist error making it look like the exposed part of the body is a giant, shapeless, oozing mass cascading down the sides of the bed but it really looks like it was drawn that way on purpose.

You Are A Elf posted:I think David Reddick reads this thread, because how well known is Nemi in the U.S.? I've only ever seen it mentioned here and never knew about it before joining SA. I did not expect to see Captain Spaulding and El Superbeasto in the newspaper comics. Actually I kinda like this. I only see two lower eye-lids creeping up (Conan in the back there and Slylock, who looks like he's about to sneeze) and I do like these cameos. Darthemed posted:What connection does Rob Zombie have to Nemi? Does she get name-dropped in one of his films or something? Not as far as I remember, but I think the idea is that fans of Rob Zombie are likely to be fans of Nemi (I was unaware of Nemi before these threads though). Wanamingo posted:Six Chix This however, is loving horrifying.

Let's see, I recognize Nemi Dethany (On the Fastrack) Gil Scary Gary Dustin "The Duplex" guys (Glenn McCoy's strip) Stuart (Retail) Scully (PvP) Schlock Mercenery Slylock Fox Popeye Edison Lee (The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee) The Legend of Bill (Reddick's other strip) Crankshaft Phantom El Superbeasto Finn (Adventure Time) Hammy (Baby Blues) Charlie Brown (the ghost costume with holes) Jughead (Snuffy Smith) Velma (Scooby Doo) Bleeker the Rechargable Dog The teddy bear from "Imagine Me" (the one that accused Seth MacFarlane of ripping off for his "Ted" movie) and Waldo (he's behind Stuart's house). I'm probably missing others, but whatevs And yeah, Reddick knows obscure cartoons. On Facebook he did a sketch of Deputy Dawg, a 1960s Terrytoons cartoon. But that's not unusual. I'm 24 (25 this November) and I know a shitton of obscure cartoons. Mister Beeg fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Oct 27, 2014 |

Does anyone know if this steaming pile of quality actually runs in any printed papers? The Wiki page mentions an older version seeing some B & W runs in "a handful of newspapers". I can't imagine the stock photo backgrounds rendering well at all (then again, that's never stopped the Honorable Master of lovely Photoshop Effect Backgrounds). On a less negative note: please never stop posting "Chief Dharma", Some Guy TT! Even when I miss the nuances of the joke, the artwork is just so amazing. Thanks for all your work translating.  How often did it come out when it was still running? The level of detail always blows my mind.

Thanks for all your work translating. I've got to second this. I was pretty harsh when SGTT started posting it but either I've gotten acclimatized to phrasing or they've gotten better at translation, because I appreciate the hell out of it now.

Pros & Cons Sally Forth  The Amazing Spider-Man  Prince Valiant  I don't remember whose kid that is.  Juliet Jones  Somebody agreed to name her child Tag Aloe? What comic is this, Rip Kirby? Phantom Classic  Hold on. Do they want 250,000 one dollar bills, or are they asking for 250 one-thousand dollar bills? This is very important information to clear up. Big Ben Bolt  Prof. You are adorable, as always. But those fists are weapons. You don't just unload them on random guys in the park. I don't care if it is 1953 and the random guy coincidentally turns out to be the lightweight champ.

Dustin I have a plastic centipede toy that looks like the real deal. Was never enough of a dick to use it though. On the Fastrack  For those who came in late, apparently Dethany's Halloween setups are such a big to-do that she has a following among the neighborhood kids. Except her house is undergoing construction so she's living with Fistula who's evidently OK with Dethany running roughshod all over her house. Safe Havens  Whose bright idea was it to give these dodo brains opposable feathers?

Jane's World The plot's still grinding along here. Non Sequitur  Oh Cap'n Eddie. And that's not how lobster pots work, Wiley. Heavenly Nostrils is yesterday's, but new.  So it's like SimCity for animals? Is there a real world equivalent for what Phoebe's playing? Kliban  Uh.. huh. Are her boobs sideways? I wonder, like in the case of Ikea, if he had parts left over after assembly.  9 Chickweed Lane 10/27/2003  Whatever, Brooke. You use big, usually non-standard words. I'm impressed.

Phoebe's referring to Animal Crossing from Nintendo where you as a little squat human moves into a town full of little squat animals and befriend them. It's a very idyllic little small forest town life simulator, surprisingly relaxing, like a little vacation you can take for an hour a day and do some chores like pulling weeds, beach-combing, and fishing to earn money to pay off a mortgage.
