I've not followed rip haywire that closely but who is this kid that looks like rip junior? Are they related? This has nothing todo with the catpocalypse and the never born baby right?

This has nothing todo with the catpocalypse and the never born baby right? That's definitely RJ. In life's harshest blow, the Catpocalypse made him a prepubescent at the same time it reset the Breezy and Cobra triangle. (e: Unless you mean "Why is he in this scene?", and the answer to that is "Because he tagged along on the failed delivery.") MEANWHILE...because apparently a week off isn't what it used to be, Bloom County showed up again yesterday afternoon.

painynumbs posted:I'll stick around, definitely. And point out every gently caress-up, by all means. I can fix them. I have the technology. How long do you have to color each strip? Or are you spared the "efficiency monitoring" that plagues the modern workplace? From what I've seen, quality coloring can really make the comic shine, but I'm sure the management thinks that 10 seconds with the fill tool is good enough.

Tiggum posted: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. Yeah, we get the full strip with dialogue. If someone says "Look at your lovely blue pants," the pants better be blue. When I proof pages, I find mistakes like that all the time. Sometimes when you've been staring at Doonesbury or something for 2+ hours, you just want to finish coloring those fish-lipped people and not read what they're saying. My Lovely Horse posted:So what's the general sentiment in the office about Nancy? Nobody likes it. And I do know that dude came to the office once with a really young lady who people assumed was his daughter but was actually his girlfriend. Stephan Pastis once marched in and yelled at my boss when I worked in books. That was pretty funny.

If they are aware of how their title character is coming off and it was intentional, then that's fine. They don't have a great history of being able to tell which of their characters are and aren't being utter dicks, though, so it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt.

In that time, nothing has happened. They've seen some sites in NYC, Mary has told Olive some weird platitudes without any real reason provided by the context, Olive's parents can't keep their hands off each other, and they met a homeless guy and visited that baker that's pining for Mary despite no contact for a couple years now.

Captain Midnight (1943) Yeah, no Tor is probably going to serve in the Royal Air Force for the rest of the war. Also if I told you where this was going (serious spoilers) them dicking around in the Canadian wilderness for the next 90 strips, would you believe me? Classic Spider-Man (1998)    Huh, a new identity eh?

The Classic Dinette Set is not appropriate for mixed company. Working Daze is not appropriate for anyone.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix reveals an unwelcome truth.

Johnny Walker posted:I don't know that I've ever seen a story arc in Compu-Toon. Boyce apparently gets in the mood to make these anti-bullying stories once in a while. I remember asking the thread last time I noticed if he was alright, because it seemed like a month of no punchlines, just very slow revenge fantasies.

It's gonna be spring soon. Then it'll be summer and any ponds will thaw and it'll be too hot to wear coats and people will walk around in tank tops and shorts and that old biddy will still be barging in on those innocent people's lives celebrating thanksgiving.

Luann Seen here: A girl breaking up with her boyfriend. It's not because she doesn't still care for him, but because life circumstances have just made the relationship unworkable and it's time to let him go. But this is Luann, so there's not really any nuance, just a black and white "Quill is being selfish so I'm breaking up with him!" And normally this might not seem quite so bad, since I've been yelling at Luann to break up with Quill for months, except that right now Ces is absolutely dominating the "Teen Girl Breaking Up With Her Boyfriend" market. The fact that Sally Forth is doing this very same thing so incredibly well throws this shitshow into stark relief. The only time I really regret choosing mostly soap strips is when I get really behind and need to catch up. Like today! I think I'm gonna try and trickle them out in little bite-size chunks. Boy does that phrasing sound disgusting. Sally Forth, since I brought it up:       And this is how you do this right.
