SomeMathGuy posted:99% of the time it's a lovely "two people talk about two week old politics" strip, with a dash of smug self-assurance usually thrown in. I'd call it the left of center answer to Mallard Fillmore but it's not that lazy art-wise. Doonesbury it ain't, though, I tell you what. You forgot about the Star-Trek references! Hey remember how this character likes Star-Trek? Because he totally does!

You post in USPOL and obsess over Brooke. Seems the question you should be asking is, "Why all the self-loathing?" Gasoline Alley  Heavenly Nostrils - I don’t care if it’s in reruns.

 I . . . uh, wow. Is there an explanation to this comic that isn't, "A man was driven insane by improperly ingesting anti-venom and is now trapped in a hellish mental prison from which he may never emerge?" Why is he stuffed in a sack? Is he naked? What bulbous monstrosity dangles above him from the twisted mockery of a tree? Please, please post more of these.

Example: there was a comic where a guy was just harmlessly playing with his mustache quietly by himself and True beat him up for his troubles. Those are the strips where you're just like, drat, E.

ikanreed posted:I don't get it. The guy's wife left him and True's a dick to him because... he said so? Pretty sure it's more like, "Goddamn, I wish Mrs. True would run away with another man!" She's the only one who can get the best of him in a fight. Phantom Classic   A HUNGRY MOUTH posted:The burned faces on the wall are great. The whole sequence where The Stranger was drawing the faces and searing them was chilling, and the crudeness of the drawings makes it even spookier. In the first storyline, The Stranger was intelligent, methodical, and had a really clever plan that just happened to fall apart completely. Now he's so consumed with hatred that his tactics have devolved to "grab them and burn them." A+ "Radio Patrol" Great Job Radio Patrol   I don't even think the Stranger is planning to hurt the kid right yet. I'm pretty sure the plan was to wait on that until he had Sargent Pat and the girlfriend tied up as well before beginning the torture so that Pat can witness it all. But Stranger wants to wake Pinky up anyway so that the kid has more time to get extra scared and upset and really think about what's going to happen to him and his friends. Pinky's not even the one the Stranger is pissed at! This is really hosed up and this storyline should be held up to anybody who thinks comics today are too gross and we should go back to the good old days when comics were wholesome. I had such low expectations of Radio Patrol when I started posting it and now it's one of my favorite comics I post. Big Ben Bolt   I hope this means we're about to see Big Ben Bolt box somebody!

He's been told that taking the stuff is dangerous if you've not been bitten/stung by something, so he has wrapped most of himself up and is now kicking what I assume is some sort of bee/hornet nest. Why he's preferentially taking those stings on his feet I have no idea.

Wanamingo posted:Nancy It's funny because Sluggo is a child who lives in such poverty while his guardians gently caress off to truck across the west that he needs to take lawn mowing jobs to survive. Luann  The Luann approach is literally the Tiffany approach we saw the last time she and Piro appeared together. Christ, Tiffany is such a bitch. Luann's a total sweetie-pie, though. I hope she finds herself. The Amazing Spider-Man  Note MJ wearing the universal look every woman has when she runs into her old boyfriend while out with her new boyfriend. Sally Forth  The Heart of Juliet Jones  I see in the grand tradition of royalty and richies everywhere, he intends to have his wife for money and lineage reasons and keep a mistress he actually likes. Stick it out, Eve! Maybe one day he'll pull a Prince Charles!
