A) he doesn't have to, because his secretaries did it "Just cause." B) If you take this strip as an evil child using mind control to slowly rule the world, but with the slowest, shittiest plan ever, and Rex is the only person that can sort of fight it, it's almost fascinating. Almost. C) It's not Pluggers.

Shugojin posted:Wow, that's petty. It was a dick move on both their parts. The Amazing Spider-Man  Sally Forth  The Heart of Juliet Jones  Prince Valiant  Phantom Classic  Big Ben Bolt  1. It's been at least a few storylines since it was mentioned, but yes. Sunday Ben Bolt went back to school and is taking college classes. Dana, I believe, is his surly tutor. 2. If the tutor is the same guy as before, that makes his girlfriend (wife?) a friend of Ben Bolt's girlfriend. That's how the two of them met. 3. Regardless of whether these are the same people (and they look the same) they should have been hanging out enough by now to know they don't have to put on airs. Hell, it was a major plot point of the other arc that Dana was inordinately touchy about the fact that he worked in a deli and thought Ben was making fun of him by going there one time.

Bloom County A suitable tribute.  cc: Guy Gilchrist Peanuts (February 23, 1969)  Since it looks like we're not going back to the post Valentine's Day Sunday strip (at least this year), here's February 16, 1969. Funky Winkerbean  Crankshaft  Out Our Way (October 22-23, 1928)

Was Sally Forth's journey into jumping up its own rear end with its running gags a sudden thing or was it gradual?

Calaveron posted:Was Sally Forth's journey into jumping up its own rear end with its running gags a sudden thing or was it gradual? Pretty gradual. It was the common comedy problem of a joke working too well. Ted broke the fourth wall once and it was pretty funny, so he broke it a few more times and it was funny and now he does it all the time and so does the rest of the family and Hil's friends and it's less funny. Hey, Ces! Breaking the fourth wall and/or being self referential is a sometimes food! It's really good... sometimes! All that said, I still think Sally Forth is really good. Definitely one of the best American strips today. Darthemed posted:Ripley's Ripley's is underselling how cool this is.

The 4th wall breaking thing actually works perfectly fine in-universe. Ted had such an abusive and lovely childhood that he absorbed himself completely in TV and movies. His defense structure is seeing his life in terms of plot hooks, and dialogue structures.

Hey, Ces! Breaking the fourth wall and/or being self referential is a sometimes food! It's really good... sometimes! The daughter's reliance on "safe places" might also be a way of dealing with the break up. Like she's taking it very poorly and is trying to maintain her composure by doing things "the way they always are." So que Ted breaking his Star Wars tape in half and watching her lose her poo poo.

The foal is stuck in the mud and he's laying down brush for footing so he can pull it out. Meanwhile he's telling the mother to be a more attentive parent to prevent things like this from happening. The joke is that he's giving advice to a horse. It's super funny, if you're an early 20th-century cowboy and haven't seen another human being in weeks.

They ALWAYS do that, they are incapable of doing otherwise under any circumstances and furthermore nobody else physically capable of holding the gun like that. Inspector Danger, you've done it again! (Not to mention both hands have identical gunpowder residue patterns which means the Inspector Danger cartoonist apparently thinks "holding a gun with two hands" means somehow squeezing it awkwardly between your palms as you fire it instead of how it's actually done) Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Feb 22, 2016 |
