Ahh, that's probably it. Even though there are loads of reasons why that's not really a fair argument at all. Who even cares anymore. Who even cared in the first place? Why have all the latest Phantom arcs been excruciatingly long and boring? Please be good again, Phantom.

Regarding the evil plot in Classic Phantom: I can't imagine random women kidnapped from a city would have any appreciable talent at crewing a ship. The amount of turnover, and consequently wasted time and resources must be astonishingly high.

I expected BBB to become some kind of sports columnist, which would make a lot of sense because he's a name that will draw readers and would have a lot of access a lot of others wouldn't, but this guy's acting like he's going to be like a beat reporter, digging into the latest political scandal or murder mystery. But I guess that has more possibilities for a comic strip than a guy writing about sports all the time.

One of the major goals of Suburbia is to introduce young readers to classic literary works they might not be familiar with. This is an intentional reference, not an attempt at plaigarism. I believe the business with the gang meeting Watterson came from the same place, though I agree that it was over the top, came off poorly, and was somewhat embarrassing to read.


Not sure why she's turning into the biker chick right now. Now, I know that the biker chick is the alter-ego she uses when she does something badass. And I know that the bar for being a badass in Rose is Rose is pretty low ("Golly, maybe I should put some 'hot' salsa on my tortilla chip!"). But she is watching her husband flee a bug from the safety of her air-conditioned and well-sealed living room, not even showing any signs that she intends to rescue him. For this we drag out the biker chick?

I think it's because she feels tougher than him.

Speaking of which, I don't know why her stance in the last panel is bugging me so much, but it just looks so ridiculous.

A well-done CYOA ride at a theme park would actually be pretty fun. It would have to involve some kind of voting system and then maybe branching paths like the Indiana Jones ride? Or it could be that kind of ride where your pretty much watching a movie while the seats jostle you around? It would be better for smaller groups, though, so maybe a setup similar to Star Tours? Somebody else think of the logistics... NOW!
