That looks to be tagged copyright Chicago Sun Syndicate, so I assume he's just in Canada for whatever mission this is. He's pretty lucky to find that clearing if he really is marking a landing strip in the middle of nowhere.

Ghostlight posted:But that would result in a significantly better comic strip so why are you? Because he traditionally always has a sightline and the hat-pop there so we always know that one character is looking at the only other thing in the panel they could be looking at, and are shocked by it. For Gilchrist, that strip was downright subtle.

Luann    If you've had 10 months to plan and now it's February and the two of you still haven't taken step one in doing anything concrete, not even "What should we do while we're in New York?" let alone, "Maybe we should buy plane tickets and book a room," then Quill can be justified in thinking this falls into the non-plan category.

Also I don't think I've ever seen Jesus portrayed as blonde. Every depiction I've ever seen of White Jesus showed him with brown hair. Also, ignoring the Buddha/Budai confusion, it seems weird that he picks on "skinny guy is portrayed as fat" and not "Indian guy is portrayed as Chinese."

Hey, so, longtime comic fan and also longtime lurker of this thread here. I work at one of the larger syndicates in the digital color department, so I color a bunch of comics that are posted here (all the Peanuts ones, for instance). I've been browsing this thread for a while because honestly, it's therapeutic reading actual critiques of how unapologetically awful some of these are. I'm not involved with Working Daze, but I've never been more offended by a strip in all my life. Luanne is a running joke between my coworkers and me. I get to (have to?) read Luanne a week in advance because we work ahead, so I get these juicy plot points before they're posted here, then I get really impatient waiting for someone else in the world to mock it. Nobody I'm close to has any idea what in the flying gently caress Luanne actually is (and who could care?), so I'm glad to find others who understand. But mocking aside, I truly do love comics, and this thread has enriched my knowledge and prompted me to comb through all these delightful strips I've never read. In short, this is a long overdue thank you to the comic strip megathread, and I hope you don't hate my coloring. But if you do, please tell me.

I'm assuming you work on Luann based on your comments, you poor bastard, so I feel like I should mention I like how the generic background palette shifts from green to mostly reds over the course of the strips that were just posted as the argument got more heated. I'm not sure if that was deliberate but it's a nice touch in the Evanses' otherwise poo poo product. I'm also sorry that we probably only notice your work if and when you gently caress up. Coloring must be a rather thankless job.

Yesssss the time machine! Johnny Walker posted:What makes you say American? I was thinking British, on account of the "Sir" part of his name. I mean the title character, Captain Midnight. Sir Sygnet Syx is british like you say. Further update, they picked him up in the water and then bailed out in the middle of canada which is why they describe it as "queer".

I'm not sure if that was deliberate but it's a nice touch in the Evanses' otherwise poo poo product. Thankfully, I don't have to color Luann, but I do have to proof it when it's finished. Which does mean reading every comic, sometimes twice. Gunther makes me wince. But thanks for the compliments, which I will pass along to the unfortunate lady across the way who does color it.  I try to change colors with moods in Peanuts, but the folks at Peanuts prefer pastels, which is kind of limiting. I actually like when Snoopy goes on weird adventures because it allows for some imagination. But Classic Peanuts is still far better.I do color Close to Home, which I can only describe as a living nightmare. I feel like I GET to color Heavenly Nostrils (we still name the files hev.whatever because it's a better title, dammit) to make up for Close to Home.

And point out every gently caress-up, by all means. I can fix them. I have the technology.

Thanks for doing right by the 60s Peanuts that we've been seeing for the past few years. They've come out very true to the Sunday strips I grew up with, which is why an angry mob isn't going to be at your workstation tomorrow morning.  And the continuance of Peanuts: Year Four is not meant as a slight to Peanuts Begins, which is currently not weirding me out the way it was when it started. And that sounded a lot better in my head than it reads, so just forget I said that part. (April 1-3, 1954)    Skippy (December 13, 1928)  Pogo (February 13, 1958)

Just off the top of my head, I think the egregious colouring mistakes are generally at King Features rather than Universal UClick. I assume you guys get the full strip with dialogue and everything to base your colours on? I've often wondered whether it's something like strips being sent to the colourists without the text that results in stuff being coloured differently to how it's described.
