Julet Esqu posted:Luann Ah, good. The storyline's gone from "gently caress you, Gunther" to "gently caress you, Bernice" right on up to "OH gently caress YOU, GREG". This is seriously the worst garbage. Luann deserves to take the title from Gasoline Alley as the worst strip in the thread.

Gasoline Alley doesn't come within light years of being the worst comic in the thread, so I dunno why it has that title. For my money, the top three right now are Luann, Nancy, and Tinkertons.

A Luann main character acknowledging they may not have been 100% right in their actions? Gotta be an edit.

Wait, didn't Gunther also ask Tiffany to try to get Piro out of the way so he could hit on Bernice? I mean, that's probably just as bad, if not worse, as what Bernice was doing. I guess it might've been Tiffany's idea to do, I honestly can't remember, but Gunther's seriously no better of a person here.

For my money, the top three right now are Luann, Nancy, and Tinkertons. Luann can't be the worst if only because it manages to be compelling enough to hate. It is seriously a four star hate-read. Every day I look it up with such anticipation of how it's going to piss me off today. And then it always delivers and it just feels so good to get mad at this piece of poo poo comic. Tinkersons might be the worse for just sheer ugly banality. Like Sylvia, my eyeballs refuse to read it. But at least with Sylvia you can see that a lot of effort and artistic integrity went into making a comic so ugly. It's the same reason Zippy isn't the worst either, even though I hate it thoroughly. Tinkersons has a lazy copy-pasted ugliness. It's not even trying to be good. Same goes for that pandering nerd comic that my brain can't be bothered to think of the name of right now. Nancy is, like Luann, completely hateable, but has the added quality of having once been so good. It might be the worst just for the fact that every day wholesome red-blooded God-fearing Americans are opening up their newspapers to see that some rear end in a top hat has once again published a drawing of Guy Gilchrist pissing on Ernie Bushmiller's corpse.

That one with the shaky eyes as a constant punchline, like an honest "Plop!" but without the charm or motion. That's bad.

You're remembering correctly; they've literally both used the same tactic but rather arbitrarily Gunther is in the right. On top of that, Bernice is wrong to be attracted to Piro for no reason even while Gunther is correct to be attracted to Bernice for no reason. They're both miserable shits and I'd say they deserved each other but that comes off-puttingly close to endorsing the strip's bizarre narrative that Gunther and Bernice are meant to be together.

Rose is Rose is the worst newspaper strip in this thread, and perhaps the world, in my opinion. F Minus  Vice-Parent in Charge of Dishes Mary Worth  That's right. She went out to the movies and to eat after once with some people who weren't the professor, and problem solved. Time for the MW victory lap! Rex Morgan MD  Half a mil? Please! That's nothing to a guy like him. He's a freelance comic book artist from the 50s/60s he must be rolling in dough! Secret Agent X-9  I wish I had a disappearing gun. Apartment 3-G  What do you, the audience, think?

Zanzibar Ham posted:Oh, huh. I thought the guy was around 60-ish and figured his dad was dead by now. No, he needs to refuse the comics so that the Morgans can be given them to avoid family troubles. Not that they could be sold to put the cranky old man in a home where his (narratively necessary) dementia can be handled. Maybe that rich guy's house. The one whose nurse/wife illegally took over the company. They can be cranky and unpredictable together.

An entire panel just so we know some random shits who keep breaking into Walt's house are, in fact, misinformed concerning the quality of Gertie's pies? Gasoline Alley may not be the worst comic in the thread but holy hell is it a consistent source of strange composition decisions.

Gunther is still totally a fedora because he's being a dick about Piro who he's met like once and knows nothing about other than Bernice likes him better, but his 'team' is the one who has done things in a proper teenage drama way rather than Bernice who has been a complete Tiffany.
