Midnight Moth posted:Newsflash, Jeff - The writing in Dustin sucks hard and the art is its only saving grace. Oh dang it was Jeff Parker who said it? My work's filter blocked it so I couldn't see the whole quote. I can't believe Steve Kelley spends more than about ten minutes on each strip.

Jeff Parker is a good artist but an oblivious moron and a sucker for getting roped into doing all the work.Shugojin posted:I was gonna see if I could just tweet at Steve Kelley and ask what's up with that, but instead I found the blurb from Dustin and, well: Midnight Moth fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Apr 6, 2015 |

RandomFerret posted:Between the vr goggles and the robot vacuum from last week, I wonder if there isn't some connection between the Pooch Café and Bleeker universes. Both strips are Canadian, and they both feature a talking, box-shaped dog that is incapable of any but a flimsy simulation of kindness or empathy. Poncho was Bleeker's old identity before his... conversion.

You know, until it got fouled up by the subsequent strips, we very nearly came close to someone in Intelligent Life realizing that being a huge manchild is a bad thing.

I think the idea with the kid in Dustin is that we're supposed to think Dustin is so immature that he may as well be a little boy too. Personally I like to think that Dustin is either being paid to babysit, or else the kid's parents (who we never see) are really distant and Dustin is trying to be a mentor for him or something. Glass blowing can't die; it has its rightful place as a legacy art practiced by a handful of people for the sake of creating neat things by hand, like blacksmithing or pottery. Newspaper comics though, those are gonna be dead a doornail.

Luann Not an edit. Apparently the Evanses were feeling saucy when they wrote this. Sally Forth   Just write it, dude, and don't stop long enough to let your doubts catch up to you. You can come back and edit later. The Amazing Spider-Man  Black Widow is a blonde now!  Or not. Prince Valiant   Juliet Jones  Their parents named them Tom, Dick, and Harry and should be brought up on child abuse charges.

Midnight Moth posted:It's kind of hard to buy the Dustin is a lazy immature slacker narrative when you have strips of him coaching little league or substitute teaching or being berated at the temp agency. Also the kid (Hayden) is named after Steve Kelley's son so it could just be Kelley incorporating some kind of "kids say the darndest things" into his strip. Oh, I don't mean to say I thought it worked, I was just guessing at the intent. Wanamingo posted:Deep Dark Fears Several of those rooms appear unreachable.

Dustin So did it take Steve Kelley 3-4 hours to come up with this joke? Bleeker  Come on. If he said Bleeker it would just make Karl and Refurb upset. You can't win. On the Fastrack  Well dumb of them to leave a paper trail. Safe Havens  He probably ate your eggs too.

I'm amazed at how correct that Monopoly board is with all the details. Clearly it took far less time to draw that than write the joke.My Lovely Horse posted:It never occurred to me before, but they both have really bad posture. On the other hand, they're all able to tilt 45 degrees and stay as stiff as a board.

It's weird how old Dilbert is. It was first published in 1989. I feel like all of the original humor and charm is long gone.
