Clunky dialogue and a boring story dragging on for months is pretty much par for the course in newspaper comics; what I can't take is how bad Allen is at drawing people. When it's a case of someone who used to be good and has been drawing the comic for so long that they're basically guaranteed the job till the day they die, that's one thing, but this guy was hired recently and he's just terrible. Get rid of him.

I'm highly disappointed after the promising "receptive beaver" storyline.

Somebody on Comics Kingdom who found the January 1st strip somewhere posted:

Cop: You say this here's a mystery ship?
Castor: Sure it is! And you're a sap for following us and coming aboard.
Cop: Say, doggone it! I've got to get home, Maria'll be worryin'--I ain't never been late to supper.
Popeye: Cop, you may never see your Maria again--there's been thousands of men bumped off on the decks of the BLACK BARNACLE.
Castor: Popeye knows all about it, because he's heard tales about this ship and the Sea Hag who owns it.
Popeye: Strangers never live long on the BLACK BARNACLE--we seem to be alone but I ain't so sure--blow me down, I think our gooses are cooked.
Cop: You two may die but I'm safe--because it's against the law to kill an officer.
Popeye: Tryin' to make yourself feel good, ain'tcha?

Secret Agent X-9



I was wondering if X-9 (the strip) was at all "officially" affiliated with the FBI, as at the time it was known that Hoover liked to promote the Bureau in popular culture. With a very brief look, it appears it probably was not, it was just the FBI was popular when the strip was created, and later references to it were removed when it was no longer popular.

Outbursts of Everett True


Britain had kept Germany under blockade since 1914, United States joined it in 1917. So the barber or his supplier has pre-war razors in storage, what are they to do? Throw them away? In the previous strip Everett got mad at a guy who was wasting a bit of sugar.

Are people mad about the mere mention of S J W in Dilbert? I would be certain that the character was the butt of the joke and meant to look like a complete tool if it weren't for the fact that PHB is interviewing him, and his one character trait is usually "wrong about everything". The dialogue seems pretty against Officer Murphy there. This feels a bit like Dick from the internet or whatever.

The strip is still guilty of being bad for other reasons ie bland, boring, dumb

I empathize with Gloomy Gus here. Once I had my degree firmly in my hands, I junked about half my portfolio because it was stuff I made just to appease a teacher and not something I really enjoyed making. This included my senior thesis+project. Maybe not my smartest life choice, but cathartic as hell.

Also judging by the amount of self-portraits Luann has done, I'd say her life passion is herself.

Reader Trent Sindelar responded, calling Trail "one of the last role models to be found on the comics page ... Mark Trail is a devoted family man, fearless adventurer and proud American. In short, he is a faultless inspiration for today’s children. Please do not banish him."

This is such bullshit.
My children make me scroll past Mark Trail when it's posted here.
Children everywhere care about as much about Mark Trail as they do Mary Worth. It's a boring comic they skip over because hey look, there's Heathcliff.
The only children who look foreword to reading Mark Trail grown up to be serial killers or Republican senators.

The dumbest guy in the office is shown "owning" the "SJW" and you think it's a burn on the PHB? Not likely.

It's a good reminder that Adams is a racist, sexist rape apologist, if nothing else. Classic Dilbert and the pseudo-guest strips were making it easy to forget he's a awful person who writes a bad comic, so in a way him making such a blatant reminder is a good thing.

Actually, he came out in support of Clinton because he's afraid that if he endorses Trump, Clinton supporters will put him on a hit list.
