We've been hip-deep in Starbuck Jones for months on end. This dude's story is built solely around Starbuck Jones. So of course we end (oh god, I hope so) his story with a completely different made-up comic book that we've never seen before and will probably never be seen again. Another slam dunk!

This is completely Asylum. Maybe a Syfy channel in-house production.

Yeah, he would have been crushed and/or ripped apart by the gorilla in no time, and why would the leopard attack a large dangerous animal out of the blue like that then leave it to attack another large animal, but it's not bad action.

What a chump. Why, he's so stupid that he was rejected without any great impact to his self esteem! Definitely not a worthy suitor for our sweet little Lu Lu. :smug:"

I get that Luann is a poo poo comic but like, basically every woman I know would think the dude is a creep. Not because he asked her out, but because he keeps asking her out after she told him off. That's not being assertive, it's harassment toward a woman who clearly is not interested.

didn't she do exactly that when they were in art class before? granted that was months ago in real time but probably like two weeks at most within the comic's universe.

You can definitely see the target audience for Ziggy. He still has a CRT TV. TV repairmen make house calls. He knows what "horizontal hold" is.
Well, the first two of those, anyway: I'm trying to work out how sitting in a rocking chair is supposed to make it look like the picture is scrolling sideways. Is he sitting at a right angle to the screen and only looking at it from the corner of his eye, or did the writer mean "vertical hold"? :iiam:
