How about you replace Nancy with Fritzi Ritz and the alligator bag with a vinyl record of Crocodile Rock and the alligator in the zoo with tears flowing onto Fritzi's bosom?"

Odonata posted:Middle School Action Comics!, or, Big Nate Okay listen you jerkwad, it's 'sup. It's always been 'sup, nobody has ever put a loving T in the word Even if there were a T in 'sup, it would go after the apostrophe because the apostrophe represents the missing letters in a contraction and there are no letters between "what's" and "up." I would rather have 9cl in your place on the comics page, and my comics page already prints 9cl. I want them to print it twice, that is preferable to seeing your strip once.

Trilobite posted:So, now we get to find out -- will he give Rex a ridiculously generous finder's fee for locating and returning his incredibly valuable comic books, or will he just give all of the comics to Rex right away? This is a new writer, right? Tomorrow's strip is the first time in forever I've actually been interested in Rex Morgan, since it will show if the new writer is going to do anything crazy like introduce stakes and conflict or if the Morgans are going to keep getting showered in praise, love, and cash every time they open their mouths.

It was an auspicious start to his run, I must admit.It's the pessimist in me that says it won't last, though. What's Rex Morgan, MD about if it isn't a daily affirmation of how secure their entitlement is? It's not like it's going to suddenly start being about medicine or something, right?

Wanamingo posted:Somebody said he's supposed to be 118, right? There's absolutely no way he'd be even remotely that active, not even close. Scancarelli wants to keep up the tradition of Gasoline Alley being the first strip where characters aged in real time. And yet, he doesn't want to have to deal with the consequences of said aging. (there's a metaphor in there somewhere.) So Walt is the spryest 118-year-old in the world, Skeezix is in his 90s and acts like a fit 50-something, etc. Rhymes with Orange  Pros and Cons

Phantom Classic  I remember this story, too. It's the inevitable result of running the Sundays and weekdays out of synch when they both tell the same story, eventually the one that was lagging catches up. Radio Patrol   Rip Kirby   Big Ben Bolt  Oh! She's a mannequin! At first I thought the edge of that window was the pole holding a street sign and he was looking at a prostitute. A discount prostitute.

Quick lookups suggest it's more of a weird mixed bag. On the one hand Scancarelli brought aging back and was willing to kill off a major cast member. On the other hand he didn't kill her off until she was 105 and Walt's suffering essentially no consequences from being one of the oldest people in human history.

EasyEW posted:Cranky Let's-Drag-This-poo poo-Outbean There are probably worse ways to promote an event you actually want people to attend, but it's hard for me to think of any offhand. Everybody in this universe is an improbably huge Starbuck Jones nerd, though, so I'm sure the place will be packed. There will absolutely be a reason that the event is depressing for everyone involved, but it won't be for lack of Starbuck Jones diehards. It'll probably be that a bunch of them are old, or something. Luann  It might all be worth it just for commentary from this knucklehead:  The Amazing Spider-Man  "It's not possible he's doing some weird wizard mind poo poo. Everyone I know is too concussed for that sort of thing." Sally Forth  It occurs to me that this teacher will shortly have to read 25+ middle-school-level novels before the school year ends.

This is going back a few Luann's but was anyone else bothered by the phrasing "I should ask out Piro"? I feel like normal people ask people out but I am ready to be wrong on this one.

Something about sheep lungs not being classified as human grade food in the US I think, along with the hoof and mouth scare. You can try making a vegetarian haggis, I've heard those taste about the same :P .
