The Amazing Spider-Man It's fun when the comic has to stop down and explain why there aren't any competent superheroes pitching in. Sally Forth  And of course this one about Winter not lasting forever happens to line up with the big huge blizzard loving up the East Coast. Not sure what state this takes place in. The Heart of Juliet Jones  She's an icky elf! Prince Valiant  drat that's a fine (about to be dead) horse. Phantom Classic  Big Ben Bolt

Darkest Auer posted:That's kind of a dick move, letting the kid go to the movies but not allowing her to see the ending. Don't worry -- if these strips were published when I think they were (1930s, I'm guessing), by 6pm, Nancy would have seen the movie at least once, plus shorts, a news reel, cartoons, etc. all for a nickel. Source: My mum is 87 (b. 1929), and her mum used to let her go to the cinema on Saturdays from the time it opened until suppertime -- starting from about the age of 5! My mum would get to see the same film a couple of times (which is why she knows all of the words to every musical made between about 1934 and 1946), and in the late afternoons, the older brothers would be walking up and down the aisles of the theatre, sifting around amongst the kiddies to sort'em out and bring'em home for their evening meals. You totally did not want your mum herself to show up, because that meant you were late and probably going to get a whack upside the bum for making her come look for you and letting supper get cold. My uncle Mike used to fetch my mum back home when she was at the younger end of her experiences, and she'd've usually fallen asleep so he'd just haul her up like a sack of potatoes and carry her home. If she was awake and bolshie, he'd tell her that he'd just bought a new comic book and if she beat him back to the house, she could be the first one to read it (a privilege he didn't give away lightly)  On the topic of Nancy -- she thinks the Guy Gilchrist version is absolutely ridiculous and that the Ernie Bushmiller Nancy is best Nancy.

Trilobite posted:Basically, yeah. He calls her, and as she goes into the other room to see what he wants, he's gone into the room where she was to look for her. Not seeing each other, they turn around and go back to where they were originally, and smack into each other. I like it. It feels like something that happened to him and he put down on the strip. The execution's not great but in general I like A+J a whole lot for being a fairly honest depiction of a happy marriage.

Tiggum posted:Doesn't explain where the Fantastic Four, the X-Men or Daredevil are though. They've all been featured in the comic before. And I wouldn't be surprised at this point to see Jessica Jones or Luke Cage show up either. Reed saw Namor was in town and immediately took his team into the negative zone.

Do you want to have a Bad Timing Comix? Pooch Café  I sometimes think about what the quickest, surest way to profit from time travel would be. Stock tips are an okay idea, but they still require some up-front capital and take time to pay off. Obviously if you've got a reusable time machine waiting's no problem, but what about a one-way trip like this one? You can't bring back any technology to reverse-engineer, either. Ballard Street  We set one of those up outside my work, and we had to take the door off because people kept smashing the glass to steal the books. It was never locked. Sometimes the communities that don't seem ready for these ideas are the ones that need them the most. Lost Side of Suburbia    Do you understand me? If you feel any fear at all, you will die a bloody, violent death, just like your friend that I'm only telling you about now. Don't think about her dying slowly and painfully because that might make you think about what will happen to you if you get scared and whatever you do you can't be scared OH GOD DON'T BE SCARED

Yeah, you basically got it in one. It's kind of a take-off on Jimmy Hatlo's They'll do it Every Time, which was the same thing but without furries and not written by/for out of touch old people.

I've got no source on this, but I think originally you absolutely did not want to be a plugger, and it slowly warped into the current anti-Dinette Set status quo as readers started to identify with it. I could be misremembering, however.

I think it's important to know that Pluggers was originally by Jeff MacNelly, and when he was writing it it had a bit more edge. MacNelly mostly did editorial cartoons and won several Pulitzers and a Reuben, so there's your frame of reference. Brookins has taken that edge away, in my view.

Spending $18,000 on a hobby over five years is only around $3,500 a year, which is a lot but isn't really so notable that you should be called upon to believe it or not. I feel like someone is paying off the cartoonist to out their worst enemy as a brony.

It's probably just me, but it feels like the kind of art you see in an indie self-published horror comic book from the 90's. Agreed. To me it looks like Allen is drawing Trail, and somebody else is drawing the other figures, and the two styles are weird together.

I think James Allen is not actually a very good artist, and he's still mostly coasting on copy-pasted Trailface from the years of jackelrod archives. New characters look pretty rough. The bad guy from a couple days ago especially looks like he's an extra from GI Joe. SomeMathGuy posted:Mark Trail

Doesn't Crankshaft take place in the '70's? I was under the impression it didn't make as many timeskips as Funky Winkerbean and was still several decades behind, and on occasion would jump ahead to now where Crankshaft is a dying old man.

Out Our Way is so good. The art is gorgeous and the jokes are really timeless or easily understood even almost a century later. All the characters have such distinctive voices and it's just nice and interesting

When you have traveled clear across the country again. To visit a child you are not related to. I suspect one of the reasons Mary flew 3000 miles to visit NYC is to go out of her way to once more shoot down John Dill. Rex Morgan MD  I guess Mr Avery's impotent? I look forward to the frank and open fertility discussion that is apparently coming this week in RMMD. Secret Agent X-9  I'm not sure if that's a small adult or a child. Apartment 3-G  I bet Web hit on that waitress while Margo was in the bathroom too.
