I particularly like that the gocomics page has a whole cast section featuring the most generic set of character achetypes you could imagine and Charles de Gaulle.

Thank god they provide a description for Charles de Gaulle or I'd have no hope of remembering the most famous Frenchman of the 20th century.

Well, Jam did say in the Gocomics comments a couple weeks ago that he's working on getting Edge out twice a week, but Mark Trail takes most of his time.

Also that out of all those we've so far seen Sam and very briefly Collin.

Also that it's trying for pulp adventure but from the cast list comes off more like Danger Mouse.

I noticed you didn't post Jungle Jim, and I remember you didn't really want to keep doing that for long anyways, so I thought I'd add it to my Sunday rotation. It works for me because two of the comics I post don't have a Sunday anyways.

I was planning to post it this week, and then I completly forgot. I'm perfectly happy with you taking it over, though. I have more than enough comics to post, but I still want to read it. :)

It's funny, I had never heard of Ballard Street before I starting posting in these threads. I came in at the tail end of one, and I read through the first 300 pages first, where I fell in love with this weird one-panel that nobody seemed to understand. By the time I got to the end of the thread, the person who had been posting them had stopped, so I picked it up. I originally just came here to post Pooch Café.

How? It's not like he needs to come up with jokes or anything, and other than the Sunday strips the drawings don't seem to be at all detailed (or consistent). I can't believe it takes him more than a day to get a whole week's worth done. Is he just saying that to justify whatever they're paying him?

"Except at that one place where it was wide open with the airplane and stuff but forget about that it's much safer to try to dive into this underground river and hope there's 1) an opening big enough for all of us to get through, 2) that it leads to a place with air, and 3) eventually leads to an exit and doesn't just go deeper and deeper until it reaches somewhere where we cannot continue."
Two days later:

Carina: This looks like an old copper mine that was abandoned due to volcanic activity!
Gabe: Hey! Maybe we should we try this door that says "Elevator To Surface"?
Mark "Bad Idea" Trail: No, I think we should try fording this river of lava and look for a passage leading further down.

I hope there's a story arc in the future where a weeping Mark reveals to Cherry and Rusty that he's actually an MBA and doesn't know anything at all about being an outdoorsman. His last name isn't even "Trail", it's "Bergerfuller". All those naturalist speeches on Sundays come from secretly reading a Wikipedia article about something and then droning on about it. What happened was he just bought a tan shirt one day and the other guys starting teasing him that he looked like the crocodile hunter guy and, well....

Two months later Mark and the gang will emerge in the South China Sea in one of those Chinese-built sand islands.

Carina: "Looks like it's made up of 90% styrofoam and other assorted trash."

Mark: "Did you know China has owned these major island bases for over 5000 years? The imperialist cronies of the unnamed country are trying to illegally sow discord and disrupt the harmony of peaceful Sino-Asian relations!"
