Deer (like a lot of animals) presumably have dichromatic vision, with two cone type cells instead of our three. So they see in colour, it's just not the same colour we do. The camo still breaks up your silhouette anyway, which is half the point.

It's really quite impressive that a man of Skip's girth doesn't even displace the sheets in bed.

There seems to be a lot of debate about whether deer can see in UV, and how much, and whether that makes using washing products that add a lot of blue (to make your whites whiter) makes you stand out like you're an early 90's raver under a blacklight.

The art of Negotiation Comix.  Okay, we know that Poncho is planning to try and unscrew Chazz' skull while he sleeps or something, but all Chazz knows is that Poncho has stopped being Poncho. Why would he ever want to fix that? Ballard Street  We thought it would be the dogs. We ejected them from our houses, turned our backs on hundreds of thousands of years of loyalty and companionship out of fear that they might usurp us. Take our jobs, our spouses, our lives. We were so cowardly and covetous that we betrayed our best friends based on the baseless suspicion that they might betray us first. We destroyed our humanity that it might not be stolen. God help us, we thought it would be the dogs.

Thanks for the Bolt/Jones catch-up, Julet Esqu! Did you know that back when Cul de Sac was running, the Sunday strip got its own piece of real estate in the Washington Post. Instead of being squashed into the comics section with everyone else, it would run in the magazine or the back of the arts section. When Mike Du Jour took over from CdS, it inherited the same special treatment for Sunday strips. Which, I guess, is why I find this strip especially aggravating. It's a padded-out gag that would be dumb and lazy even as a regular three-panel job. But the WaPo still treated it like it was something special, not because of anything Lester has done, but because of Richard Thompson. In conclusion: gently caress Lester.

Everyone will be back to making GBS threads on Barry at work the next day because he's such a d-bag for calling Skip when he's sick and asking if there's anything he can get him.

It's not a joke, it's ~art.~ Because the musical staff has four spaces and five lines like the violin has four strings and therefor five spaces you see. It is about how music moves between its abstract representation on the page into the physical mechanial reality as it is played. There is a synthesis between instrument and the ethereal.

Considering how most of the "funny" comics are terribly unfunny and most of the "drama" comics are terribly boring, Brooke's "art" comics aren't actually too bad. (if he doesn't draw faces)

I pretty much agree, I just wanted to remind people that "beefwit" is a serious term that Brooke used in earnest to describe people who didn't like the Romeo and Juliet adaptation from a million years ago

I asked my kid, who's pursuing a masters in Music Ed.: "Why is this funny?". He looks at it, and says "I have no idea. It's not funny. It's not really anything." So yeah, there's that.

What kind of amateurish store do you go to that takes till Febuary to put the easter poo poo out lady? My local woolies has had that poo poo out since exactly the day they took down the xmas poo poo. I saw loving hot cross buns before new years day. The lindt rabbits have been out on display since halloween with various ever-changing posters next to them, where they'll remain until after mothers day.

I decided it would be good to at least tell you what happened in the other classic soaps. Really did not expect Radio Patrol to be the strip I'd want to post the most samples of. Phantom Classic When last we saw Old Phantom, he was all like, "Who built this road through the jungle?" and the natives were all like, "We don't know; don't look at it." He chases and subsquently crashes a "devil car" and finds some tribesmen smuggling stuff. Cut to some white dudes (Bull and Shorty) who, of course, have been putting the tribesmen up to it, using some of them as slave labor and using tribal superstitions to keep the others quiet. Phantom goes to tell the cops and they in turn tell him to gently caress right off. He does, but not before skull-marking their window-sill. The cops do start investigating, though, which brings us to today:  In Radio Patrol, we missed a cat fight.   When this mess hits the papers, Pat gets in trouble for the whole business and ends up turning in his badge. Radio Patrol has secretly been an 80's cop movie the whole time.  Pat's child sidekick gives a good pep talk and Pat decides to go after the bad guys after all. As if by magic, the bad guys sense that Pat is back on the case and send him a love note via brick-through-the-window. This does little to dampen Pat's enthusiasm and he secretly re-instates himself in the police force. One kid/dog/car chase later, and we get today's scene, which kind of makes sense in context:  I'm not entirely sure where Pat is or what he is supposed to have been doing while his kid gets his neck broken. Rip Kirby is easy to recap because there's a big chase and, while beautifully drawn, there's not much to talk about plot-wise because it's all chasing. Rip and Desmond chase Hi and Fi around and there's lots of action, a little flooding, and even some death-defying. In the end Hi and Fi are nearly drowned, but captured, and that lady who got shot survives. Ri Kirby is victorious! Time for a new storyline!  No wonder he's famous! Clearly this guy is a laugh riot. There is a little bit of hilarious mad-cappery with Giggles and his staff, but in today's strip we get down to brass tacks and start to introduce what this plot will probably be about :  Big Ben Bolt
