I really can't think of a better way to explore trendy college issues than from the unique viewpoints of suburban American middle-aged cartoon sharks.

Sherman's Lagoon

Well now won't the predatory college industry just love to sink its teeth into you.


Let me guess. It's taught by nurse sharks



I think you should go with a loan shark instead. You can't trust crabs.


Yes, you are going to die, but that has more to do with the fact that you're not swimming and keeping oxygen flowing over your gills.


Watch out Cindy. "Nurses eat their young." I guess sharks too, but I'm not too sure on that one.

This whole thing annoys me because there exist contemporary sketches of the Dodo done from live subjects. It's not like what they looked like was invented wholecloth from some bits of bone.

It's really frustrating to read of models of Dodos being pieced together from random bits of bone when we've got one stuffed. Just have those randy shapeshifters change into a velociraptor if you want to do this dumb metaphor!

This "joke" is really bad because the TV series wins by default, since the book series is called "A Song of Ice and Fire" not "Game of Thrones". Not that I should have expected better from the people behind this comic. I haven't even read or watched any of them and I know this, what would actual fans think.

Curly found the boy, thinking him a stray, tried to get him a job at the ranch. Ranch owner said No, so Curly told him to gently caress off, and he and the kid left.
Then Curly finds the kid has 1200 bucks, and yeah the Pinkertons are after them. They laid a trap and while Curly beat the poo poo out of 4 dudes there, that one guy managed to hit him in the head with a wrench.

As to the details with the kid and the money, well I'm sure we'll find out on the next couple days.

That's no wrench, that's the shattered remains of a rifle. Curly's skull broke it.

Looking at it again, yes you are right. The broken part of the stock is on the ground. It always makes more sense since why the gently caress would they have a big monkey wrench out in the desert?

A century ago we had a single panel clearly conveying that a cowboy bare-knuckle brawled three dudes and won, only to be laid low by a guy whanging him upside the back of the head with a rifle so hard the rifle broke.

Today we have two amorphous blobs either walking directly into a blank wall, or about to turn and collide into each other. Either way, they are arguing about which aspect of a multimedia fiction is more canon.

If it follows along the usual formula for this kind of thing, the Pinkertons were after the kid because he's the runaway son of a rich man (the one who came out in a hurry when they sent him a telegram).

Hey, you people like Prince Valiant, right? My school's hosting a small gallery featuring local-ish comic artists, including Thomas Yeates, current artist on Prince Valiant. I got to check it out during the opening a couple weeks ago when they had the artists in attendance, and I thought I'd get pictures of the Prince Valiant sketches and inks on display for the thread. Then I got lazy, but here they are now (sorry for the quality, I'm not good at phone pictures):




That middle photo on the bottom is a nightmare and I am very sorry. But anyway, it was neat seeing these because I remembered them from an earlier iteration of this thread.
