Additionally, if you still want the full size picture to be available to people, you can imbed a link to it in the code:

(url=full size url goes here)(img)url+h goes here(/img)(/url)

Clicking the resulting picture will open the full sized picture. Whether it opens the image in a new tab or insists on loading over the page you probably weren't done reading yet depends on the capricious whims of the Internet. There might be a better way to do this, but this is the way I've found.

Maybe it's just "those clowns in Congress did it again," but I can't think of any Obama screwups that made people label him immature. Real-life aging Pluggers might go on about how he's an arrogant pansy socialist Islamocrat Antichrist usurper, but "immature" rarely enters the tirade.

Oh, I've seen more than enough politoons depicting Obama as a baby or child. I shall spare you and not post them here.

It goes with him being relatively young for a president, which of course naturally pisses off pluggers since they're tired old geezers.

Postin' to post my love for the historical comics, because that is what I do. Besides hating on Working Daze, which is a crappy webcomic that needs to exit this thread quickly and permanently. Anyway, particular historical comic question - re: Barnaby, what's up with the Ogre making a full multiple-course meal appear from an egg and then apparently turning the leftovers back into an egg? Is this a fairy tale trope I've not heard?

When they passed out body parts in the comics today, I got Cathy's nose and Dick Tracy's private parts.
The sub artists for Dilbert seem to be making little effort to add any new dynamic to Adams' art style. The first one had a strip with some interesting new perspective angles, but the rest are just straight-up aping the strip's usual aesthetic. Is Adams keeping an iron grip over how the comic is drawn, or are they just unimaginative?

I'd kinda like to see a strip done by the "DEHUMANIZE YOURSELF AND FACE TO VIOLENCE" guy!

They all just work here at the syndicate and were asked to do it, but I'm not sure what specific guidance they were given, if any. One upcoming sub is actually just an intern here; she's pretty talented so I'm looking forward to what she does. I do like that this week's at least deviated a little from standard Dilbert, which I've never liked.

The guy next week matches Scott's art style almost exactly. The first artist (who will be the first to admit he's not a great artist) is actually head of the syndicate here and he started trolling the comments that were mocking his art and demanding Scott return (some of them were like, legitimately angry). I thought that was pretty funny. He was having a good time with it.
