I'm not exactly offended, but it's really weird to use real people (who aren't, like, the President, or something) as characters in your story. Especially since the story's Earth has already been fantastical fiction crossovers, and it would've been perfectly in-line to have it be Calvin's parents.

I've been wanting a Cul de Sac avatar for a while and I finally remembered I did while I had a disposable income at the same time, so I'm gonna grab this. It's really well made, thanks Kennel.

Only I have no idea what to use as text. That entire panel is a goldmine. "There will be repercussions!" "Nothing can ever be the same again!" "Everything's changed! I hate change!" are all great, as are various combinations of them.

Nothing really, I'm just afraid that people who don't read Cul-de-Sac would just think the line is some non-sequitur. I'm starting to lean toward it now, though. The lines I listed at first just make me sound like a grumpy old man.

Edit: I've decided to embrace my inner old coot. It's good to have a newspaper strip title again.

For those wondering, cartoonists had a convention in DC that weekend, hence Holbrook doing a strip about it.

Man, being a colorist must be the easiest job in the world because nobody seems to care what your output is. As long as you have colors in there it'll get printed.

Speaking of bad colorists, check out that eye in the second-to-last panel. There doesn't even seem to be a line gap there where a careless use of the fill tool would have caused that, they just painted that eye over and decided that was good.

Tangentially, huh. First to second panel, Luann's shirt changes from "Kidz 1st" to "Kids 1st". If that's the art here, I suppose it has the colorist it deserves.

It's not uncommon in Luann for signs on the walls or name plates on desks to change text from panel to panel, but it's usually clearly meant to be a joke. I'm not sure how changing "kidz" to "kids" constitutes a joke, so I have to agree with you that somebody's getting sloppy. Pay attention, Evanses!

The best example of that was FoxTrot. Bill Amend loved to include side jokes in the backgrounds, the most common being that, whenever there's a character reading the newspaper, headlines would always involve a certain cartoonist doing awesome things, like buying a space station or marrying a supermodel.

I don't think he does that anymore, and it's a shame.
