I can't get over how much better new Dick Tracy is than the last iteration. If I remember correctly the old one went out a lot like A3G is now, except a guy got eaten by rats or drowned or something.

I'm the exact opposite. The new one has a million new characters in every strip, at least half of which are some sort of aliens with magic powers and it's impossible to read or to care about anything that's going on. And I don't even like the art. Bring back Locher I say.




I don't think it's good to have the entire world controlled by a demented alcoholic who keeps having his driver(?) and secretary(?) do all the work.

It's funny because I was seriously just thinking the exact same thing. The new Dick Tracy is overwhelming and difficult to get into/follow. Too much poo poo in the scenes, too many characters, not enough reason to give a gently caress.

The creators are far too busy to prove how well they know Dick Tracy lore to turn out anything worthwhile. Doesn't help that they decided to continue Annie as well while they were at it.

I remember it having fans back before Brooke decided he didn't need comments from anyone. They were as pretentious as he was, with the same dismissal of anyone who didn't like the comic as trolls and/or philistines. I think they had a fan forum, too? I don't know what happened after Brooke told them all to gently caress off, though.

e: Oh yeah, they used to call him the "Worshipful Master". That should tell you everything you need to know.

I'll be honest, I kind of like it. The ones with the characters interacting with the panel frame aren't particularly original but it's not like anyone else is doing it currently. I kind of like the weird mom going through psychosis in the form of that creepy imaginary friend.

They called him "Honourable Master" and they still congregate at The Comfy Couch o' Confusion. Brooke telling his fans that he didn't need them only drove them off the comics.com page. They still lap his crap up and drool over pictures of gams 'n' teeth.

:siren: Hey comic uploaders, I just noticed something with the new Imgur layout (on Chrome, anyway).

If you're using the "Imgur upload" plug-in to upload your images, then you seemingly can't get the share codes.

BUT, if you right-click/copy image, and upload it through the main page by clicking the blue button on the top and ctrl-v'ing, then you get to a screen with all the sharing options and it doesn't add the "imgur" source tag thing. They're in the same place, they just made the sharing options a "click for more options" thing.

I'm also on Chrome. When uploading multiple images, it automatically turns them into an album so that I just get this:



Which doesn't really help much, since I don't post these things as albums on SA.

I have noticed that if you hover over individual album pictures now, you do get some cop/paste options, but they're really only good for helping me post Luann (which is smallish even when blown up) and not the enormous table breaking images linked behind merely huge thumbnails that I tend to post with Comics Kingdom comics.

I decided to make a text macro with the bb code. It'll work, I think.

At the risk of overrunning the thread with shop talk, I've never used the plug-ins (because I'm a freak like that) and the ability to get share codes dropped out on me in the middle of prepping the morning post. It was very annoying.

You don't need share options, just right-click on the picture and copy the location. The forums automatically add tags around all pasted image links.

You guys need to pay more attention. Hell, I bet half of you didn't even know you could hit ctrl-b to Bold the Titles of Comix.
