Today it's "The pace is faster. Perhaps that's what makes it exciting" and the other day it was "I'm glad you both benefited from your visit." I think Jeff is either an emotionless alien or a robot who is trying to understand our human ways.

So after spending four months in New York on her vacation, she's now going to spend four months talking about when she was in New York on her vacation.

Bill Waterson was unimaginably creative nearly a decade into his career. Repeating themes without coming close to repeating jokes.

His art never faltered, but I found the strip more and more preachy at this point.

I think they tried to tell two jokes, and failed at both.

Even worse two days running the joke has been-- brown people think they are good at ~~negotiating~~ whatever but in reality society (white men) are forced to coddle them.

Twelve by Pies: May 4, 2012; Again a very likpatous story

Dr. Strange is talking to MJ, looking directly at her in the first panel. She somehow still manages to disappear without him noticing, unless he stopped looking at her and just started staring in a random direction mid-conversation in the second panel. I guess it's not just Spider-Man who has problems in the newspaper strip.

Prince Valiant

I don't always read the story strips, but I like to look at the art - drat, that's a fine Prince Valiant in panel 3. That's what a life of dashing adventure does to you.

He'd be cracking into middle age in strip chronology, wouldn't he?

So they're being asked to provide storyboards, and they don't even have a proper script yet?

Out Our Way (December 7-8, 1928)

Every time there's one of these Machine Shop strips, I just think how many of the characters will lose an arm, leg, or their life. That's good cartooning.

Batiuk is just continuing his tireless crusade against an industry he knows nothing about.

I'm beginning to suspect he tried to shop around the rights to the Cancerbean saga and no one bit.
