Does the Phantom actually help out the Bandar? I'm not familiar with the comics but from this thread it seems like he mostly pisses off international terrorists and crime syndicates and then hides out with them. Doesn't exactly seem like a fair way to treat an apparently isolationist tribe.

There are a bunch of other tribes in Bangalla, and traditionally the Phantom worked with the Bandar to keep them in line. That's probably considered a little problematic these days though so it doesn't really come up.

If you have to label them to make sure people know who they are, maybe you shouldn't bother trying to draw real people.

You know, its kind of hosed up the Phantom has this whole jungle tribe of people he deceives into thinking he's a walking immortal and serving him.

The Bandar totally knows it's bullshit though. They even have a ceremony where they greet the new Phantom.

Ah, so that's where the Rose Is Rose "feeder" strips are hiding. How bizarre. He must've upped/changed his medication since then.

Which, since the strip is drawn by Jeffy these days, adds a whole 'nother layer of psychology to unravel.

I thought maybe it was being written by a new guy who doesn't share the fetish, but I checked and it's the same guy. This makes me think maybe the syndicate were like, "The gently caress?" and made him tone it down, and that's why he now has to channel all his BBW love into Rose's mom.

According to this, Don Wimmer is now writing an drawing the strip. Although Pat Brady's name is still in bylines, possibly out of contractual obligations.

I think they're referring to the error in the Gregorian calendar, which is something like a day out every 3000 years. I'm not sure why it's being confined to spring though, possibly something to to with the end of February? Leap days would probably be added there, giving a February 30th.

It's all a combo of the effects of precession and Earth's elliptical orbit.

Contextual :corsair:

Red & Rovering: Deborah Norville replaced Jane Pauley as co-host of the Today show in 1990. NBC wanted to bring in a younger, prettier face and was willing to dump an older, more experienced broadcast journalist for it. Things didn't go so well and Norville gained notoriety as a usurper. That is why Opus is mud.

These are actually funny and well-drawn though. Granted, Pasquale was always an idiot, the guardian angel and dreamship were continually overused, Clem was forever a worthless one-note joke, that weird baby's speech patterns were 100% obnoxious, and I pledge eternal hatred for the sunshine-lollipops-and-rainbows cutegasms, but RIP the occasional enjoyable "Rose is Rose" cartoon, we hardly knew ye.

When I was a kid I read this and thought, "He wants her to be fat? And she wants him to be bald? That's weird. Are all grown-ups like that?" but now I can laugh at this.

No Wikipedia-style pages. Just look at what has become of the Animated Foot Scene Wiki.
No fetishy webcomics. Only capture fatness when it's used as a gag, do not use Bridgette's Belly or Gorgeous Princess Creamy Beamy, or even really funny ones like Murry Purry Fresh and Furry.
No whining or any other sort of weird behavior, especially if a show does not have the kind of expansion you want to see.
