Not true! Gunther ~rescued~ her by "accidentally" swinging his heavy nerd backpack into Leslie a couple of times. I think that may have actually been the inciting event of their relationship.

Evil Mastermind posted:You know, it might be too early to judge, but I don't think TOBY is a good comic. It's got that weird assumption of familiarity to it. Maybe it'll get better but right now yeah it's pretty bad. Was it good before they took eight years off?

I read it back when it was in its original run and ... eh. It's basically one joke: TOBY is melodramatically evil and doesn't understand humans, Morris has to deal with the fallout from TOBY's craziness. Kinda like Poncho and Chazz in Pooch Cafe, really.

Andorra posted:I'd never read Moomin until these threads, so thanks for introducing it to me. Same to the people who post other good old comics like King Aroo and Gay and Her Gang. If you enjoy Moomin, you should check out The anime, the recent film adaptation of Moomins on the Riviera and the novel The Rabbit Back Literature Society Which is this kind of twin peaks style mystery based around a woman who is clearly based on Tove.

Luann Dick move, not calling the kid by the name he prefers. It's even a variation of his given name; it's not like he's asking to be called Bonecrusher or Adolf or something.

Republican Vampire posted:If you enjoy Moomin, you should check out The anime, the recent film adaptation of Moomins on the Riviera and the novel The Rabbit Back Literature Society Which is this kind of twin peaks style mystery based around a woman who is clearly based on Tove. There were multiple anime based on "Moomin". The earliest one was from 1969. TMS Entertainment did the first 26 episodes, while Mushi Production took over for the remaining 39 (Mushi then made 52 more episodes a year or so later). The TMS episodes are interesting because all the characters are assholes. Moomin in particular frequently got into fights with other characters and was generally a snide smartass. Also, technology such as cars were present (some of the characters were frequently seen driving), and there was at least one episode where we find out that bars exist, and some of the townsfolk were seen getting drunk there. All of this pissed off Tove Jansson, who says none of those things belong in her universe. As a result, TMS was fired, and they retooled the show over at Mushi Production, which followed the tone more closely to the original.

No, see, it's fine to keep disrespecting him because while we have seen him do literally nothing wrong we have been informed he is a Bad Person. That's the Luann way!

I want to believe that Mr. Gray is pulling all the stings here. He decided Luann was distracting Quill and called in a favor to get him a spring break job that would lead to them breaking up. Meanwhile, Prudence begged him for a job, which he said he would, but she would owe him a favor. It's all coming together for Mr. Gray.
