Bobulus posted:It's true. That noise really doesn't match its intended purpose. My only guess is that some designer wanted a really attention-getting noise so people wouldn't leave their card behind. When the chip machines came out here, we'd routinely have 6+ cards left behind every day, and the banks required us to destroy the cards within 48 hours. It's loud and attention-getting for exactly that reason.

The transaction won't complete and print the receipt unless you take your card over here, it's almost impossible to forget your card unless the person running the till isn't paying attention.

Selachian posted:Note that it looks like Lester just copied and pasted the bartender. I don't think that's what most strips do now but I bet it will become more common in a short time. F Minus  Mary Worth  Yes, in a shocking turn of events that no one could have predicted, Joe Giella has "retired from drawing Mary Worth." I am surprised no one noticed the fanfare the syndicate allowed this longtime artist to include in his final strip:  A big-hearted bunch, those syndicate people. Anyways, here is a look back at some of the many faces of Giella's Mary Worth:      We'll miss you, Joe!  Yes, really!  Seriously though, I make fun but I'll miss him.

Goodbye, Joe Giella, you made everyone look like the same old woman wearing different wigs and that was certainly a thing. Your legacy is one of overwhelming consistency, which at least puts you above Jam Esallen.

Well I for one hope this isn't the start of an ugly trend of putting competent artists on the comics page. For shame! I Wish I Were Gary Larson, or, Foolish Mortals  Curse of the Undead! or, Scary Gary  Moving. Spiritually enriching. Sublime. “High” art, or, Gasoline Alley  Phoebe and her Unicorn, or, Heavenly Nostrils  Descent into Madness, or, Ziggy  Ye Olde Fox Trot  Best Comic in the Thread, or, Cul de Sac

Wow, I actually got that reference. Well played. The Classic Dinette Set knows that image is important.  Working Daze still thinks Pokemon Go jokes are funny.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix does have a valid point.

Dear Greg Evans, please take note, here we have a protagonist who is facing consequences from some of their long-running character-flaws, and while we feel bad for them, they get a chance to learn and grow beyond the confines they existed in before. Rather than every action of theirs being nothing but praiseworthy, and drama being drawn from a pool of sitcom cliches, and 2d villains, the conflict they face is real and difficult. This is what writers who are not complete hacks do with very similar teen-girl gag-a-day strips.

The sad thing is Luann used to be hailed as a revolutionary comic strip for talking about stuff like the title character having her first period. Also :

If this goes down the path of Heloise getting kidnapped after blabbin in her sleep, Phantom had better go bust her out only to find she's already taken care of the Nomad.

He plays guitar and he’s a boy/man. Or, since the idea of air guitar has been thrown out there, any guy will do. Even Brad… quote:That guy with the guitar to the rescue!! It lets her do the show, but the fundamental issue of parental neglect still remains. It’s late, so I am hitting the sack, but I am sure the blog will discuss that and other points fully. quote:It is truly stupid for Brad to play air guitar here, when the guitarist could actually play the song. (If he is at all skilled in music, he can play a trivial ditty like that one by ear.) Having Brad strum the guitar, obviously not playing it, while the song is piped in over the speaker would just make the audience laugh, which would he a terrible experience for Shannon. quote:It looks like this is set up so Brad will have to step in. To me, that’s kind of disappointing. Brad hasn’t shown any musical interest or ability during the year or so that I’ve been following this ‘toon. I think you need a basic sense of rhythm even for air guitar. I actually have to agree with Seismic, that Brad’s participation might make the audience think the act was a comic act, not a dance act. Being laughed at wouldn’t help Shannon right now. quote:“You’d Better Duet!” fort knox
