Manuel Calavera posted:Foxtrot It's a reference to the tight 17th century London alleyways flooding and carrying the bloated corpses of stray animals down the street. Feel Good Comix!  Yeah, no poo poo Chazz! That's what happens when you choose a breed of dog based on how well they fit in your apartment! Also, keeping a sapient life form as a pet. Lost Side of Suburbia    Stop it! Heroic sacrifices don't count if you just bring the character back a few pages later! I'm looking at you, Bible!

The Classic Dinette Set gets a little too close to nature. Working Daze is back to Big Bang Theory jokes.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix is in a state of quantum uncertainty.

The art in Fort Knox and Take it from the Tinkersons both feel like they're ripping off something but I can't tell what. Maybe Matt Groening and early Family Guy respectively?

If they're trying to ape something they're not at all successful. These comics are ugly.

It reads like art that comes from wanting to specifically draw comic strips and not ever branch out from that. Just learned enough to draw the one thing. Fort Knox especially.

Well, they saw how Pearls Before Swine gets away with the bland, copy-pasted look and thought " Hey I can do that too!"

Pastis also frequently admits (both in the strip and in book collections) that he has a very poor opinion of his own drawing ability, so imitating him is basically admitting that you think you suck. And also your puns will never be as elaborate as his puns, let's be honest.

Phantom Classic As Tiggum pointed out, the good reason for calling Phantom to travel across the world is, "How old are you?"   Even though this is Old Timey Phantom, the "Ghost who Cannot Die" schtick has already been well and truly established. Even for a dumb adventure strip, it's kind of nutty that Diana's dad or uncle or whatever hasn't cottoned on that there's been a Phantom running around for a loooong time now.

"Useful" in the entertainment industry is a judged on a whim, and the sword is always at your throat. Happy Sunday! Crankshaft

Living in a rundown apartment in lower Manhattan doesn't seem all that bad when you consider the Manhattan real estate market. (Well, Cliff might have had rent control.)
