Kismet posted:Whenever books on Amazon are only available used at absurd prices, it's because the retailers are using pricing bots to juggle supply and demand. When there are plenty of books out there and humans setting market prices they behave sensibly, but when bots are left to calibrate themselves off each other's mark-ups they start spiralling up cent by cent into infinity. If anything, it probably means nobody has moved any of Brooke's books for a while and they're just sitting around gathering dust in overstock warehouses somewhere.

Evil Mastermind posted:Well, it's long established the Brooke only listens to people who tell him what he wants to hear: i.e. that he's an amazing writer. He has to tell himself that because I doubt that many other people will tell him that nowadays. A reminder: this is true on multiple levels. He shut down his own comments section because he was as outraged by his sycophantic fanbase discussing storyline predictions as he was by the trolls informing him he sucked poo poo. In fact he went on more than one contemptuous tirade around that time about how he was The Author and neither welcomed nor desired any input from the dumdums who read his Art. The only comment he was ever interested in receiving was "you are great," full stop. http://chickweedcafe.blogspot.com/2010/12/apocrypha-with-cup-of-joe.html In short, gently caress this guy.

Dustin Takes one to know one, old man. Safe Havens  Why not just turn the mermaid into a whale? Too much genetic fuckery? On the Fastrack  I don't see how Mrs. Trellis is supposed to be a bad boss when she apparently gives her staff the freedom to screw around so much.

So Bill Holbrook drew some Mary Worth fan art, presumably because he's friends with the creators. I like the Aldo tattoo on her arm.

I wonder if some editor finally cracked down on Gilchrist. The last couple weeks of Nancy have been as bland and lovely as ever but they lacked the usual preachiness and Americana. Even Phil "Storm Saxon" Fumble has been notably absent.

goatface posted:She also enters the mirror-world between panels. "Mirror-world?" Would that be an alternate-universe "Dustin" where Ed is a kindly, aging hippie constantly belittled by his son Dustin, an arrogant libertarian stock-broker? Sounds like a more mean-spirited "Family Ties". I might actually read that comic!

Piranha Club  Dick Tracy   Judge Parker   9 Chickweed Lane  It kind of looks more like a rifle than a bird to me, but you're the expert, Bill.  Brooke must be trying to add more gags to the strip. Zachary Nixon Johnson

The gospel according to Skippy (September 7, 1927) Peanuts (November 15, 1967)  Funky Winkerbean: Yup.  Popeye  Rip Haywire  Out Our Way (January 15-16, 1926) And now, life's harshest blow. I've been dreading this day...  J.R. Williams, Creator Of The Tommy Westphall Universe Maybe Williams thought the plot was getting away from him and this was his escape hatch? Maybe this was the plan all along? Who can tell now? Sorry, cowboy fans.

Jane's World Yep, somebody called it. It's a full furry Holbrook crossover. Non Sequitur  Heavenly Nostrils is.. whatever. Kliban  9 Chickweed Lane 11/12/2003  Bleh. Zits  Way to teach him fiscal responsibility, Walt. Kevin & Kell  I have never, ever seen any herbivore eat dry fall leaves.  Initially, I thought he was talking about her chest, based on the angle of his gaze.

EasyEW posted:Out Our Way (January 15-16, 1926) For a minute I thought Williams was appearing in his own strip. I'm honestly bummed that the cowboy stories just stop like this. Anyway, in other comics... Ham Shears prepares for a long trip like I do.  The Dinette Set discusses the advantages of cable.  Working Daze has a guest appearance by Ham Shears.

EasyEW posted:And now, life's harshest blow. I've been dreading this day... Honestly, I thought the cowboy story was spinning out of control ever since Smokey (or whoever it was) killed the bank robbers. The whole business with Smokey trying to romance the schoolmarm, which was the really fun part, just vanished. It's been really hard to follow the last few weeks. But then, trying to do drama in a gag-a-day strip is always tricky. One wrong step and you end up as Funky Winkerbean.

Winter is upon us. The fallen leaves turn to mush under our feet, our breath turns to fog in the air, and our newspapers are stocking up on Dog Comix. Pooch Café  Two-thirds of these comics could be described as 'Poncho Manipulates a Friend.' Ballard Street  We have three characters and two names flying around in this one, and it works every which way.
