ChairMaster posted:It never fails to amaze me how the colorists in these strips can gently caress up so badly. Yeah, seriously. It makes me think three things: 1. Why don't the artists just do the coloring of their own strips now? I know it used to be a bit more complicated, but isn't the contemporary technique to just hit it with the paint bucket tool? 2. How do I sign up to be a colorist? Is it a nepotism/friend-of-the-artist kind of thing? I need a job real bad and I'm pretty sure I could do a better job than this. 3. Don't the artists ever notice and complain? Do they even bother reading their strips again once they hit paper?

The Phantom's kids don't understand that nepotism is wrong? If anything, he seems a really good replacement. He still respects the Phantom, he just believes it's time for a new leader. It's not like we're talking about the Python here.

Awww, these goop strips take me back. When I was growing up in the 70's, I had the Peanuts Cook Book.  Simple recipes for kids, with a food-related comic on the opposite page.  So in case you were wondering: goop tastes like icing!

Was thinking more of the questionable color pairing. It's probably easier on the eyes in print.

I would hope that this story ends with the chibi-Phantoms learning a valuable lesson, but then, the Phantom is traditionally a strip that doesn't understand the difference between right and wrong.

Fyadophobic posted:Yeah, seriously. It makes me think three things: The colour is only for gocomics, most of the papers still run the strips in black and white. If you get the artists to colour them, you'd have to pay them too and they value their time more than some poor scrub with ms paint.

"Oh no! I'm just a replacement? How humiliating!" You take any opportunity and be thankful about it. Also I can't believe Lynn didn't learn her lesson from this, that if you're going to have your character be a great writer, don't show the readers what the writing looks like unless you're sure it's 100% gold (Stone Season excerpts, from my memory, were dull, lifeless piles).

I guess making Elly a great cartoonist would be a little gauche, and that really is where her talent lies.

The Phantom's kids don't understand that nepotism is wrong? I guess it's that they fear change but really, Guran set up a formal set of rules and this dude is working perfectly inside them, because he thinks he could do better. Guran is kind of screwed in his set of rules but that's what he gets for basing them on tests of physical ability.

Luann The Amazing Spider-Man  Not sure why Spidey would doubt any of that. This was all I got before Comics Kingdom decided it didn't want to show me any more comics today. So I guess this is all you get until tomorrow.

Rand Brittain posted:I would hope that this story ends with the chibi-Phantoms learning a valuable lesson, but then, the Phantom is traditionally a strip that doesn't understand the difference between right and wrong. It's one reason I really wish the characters had aged in real time; It would have allowed the Phantom to move with the times in a much more natural manner. Plus it would let them write a story about the Phantom dying every couple of decades, and unlike most other super heroes they wouldn't need to come up with some absurd way to bring him back to life, because the Phantom title being passed on is established in the backstory.

He played a man in a suit much more recently than that, although considering this is newspaper comics you're probably right.

On the slightest of technicalities, Keaton played a "costumed character" last year.

Johnny Walker posted:Rex Morgan MD Although really, what I want to happen next is for Nancy to shrug and say, "gently caress it, my family's rich, I don't give a poo poo what happens to your car," followed by Nancy's other victims setting fire to Kelly's SUV and incinerating all of those paintings in the back of it, followed by Sarah losing her book deal and all the money. You know, just because I want something bad to finally happen to the Morgans at least once in this loving strip, just one goddamn time when people stop giving them expensive gifts and stacks of cash for doing absolutely nothing but being smug and well-off.
