I feel like at this point Faye and Nona are basically friends with Hilary because they like her stuff. She's got the XBox, she's got the garage where they can play their music, her parents let them hang out and do whatever they want. Putting up with Hilary is just the price they're willing to pay for that.

They're just aware that the strip is about the Forths and the minor characters cease to exist if they don't interact with them constantly.

The Daily Bugle is a private company in which JJJ has traditionally owned a controlling share, and has served as both Publisher and EiC - only stepping back from the latter for Robbie after being blackmailed into making it public that he personally financed the creation of super-villain The Scorpion as part of his anti-Spider-man campaign. He's lost control of the Bugle a couple of times through hostile takeovers.

So I'm dropping Big Nate if anyone cares. It committed the ultimate comic sin- it neither made me smile or angered me. It was just meh. In it's place I have one comic picked at random, Foolish Mortals, which so far promises to be awful, and Scary Gary which I've always enjoyed.


I Wish I Were Gary Larson, or, Foolish Mortals



You know, I think this had the potential to be a funny gag if wasn't for the awkward and unnecessary exposition. I'm curious about whether this strip has any chance of improvement.

Good to have Scary Gary back though.

I'm convinced you could write it by computer. The art is the same level as mezzacotta and you'd just have to give the algorithm better seed texts.

I like this specific one because it has him just off screen, like some kind of dread shark lingering just outside the edge of vision, gone as quickly as he came with only carnage in his wake.

It's because the writers want us to hate him. This is known as the Luann effect.
