I was proofing this whole week of strips at work last Monday, and I don't understand why it's so drat imperative to take the garbage to the dump on your way to a wedding. Your daughter is participating in the ceremony. Just do it tomorrow you big dumb idiot. Do you also swing by the car wash on your way to a funeral? painynumbs fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Jul 27, 2016 |

A reminder, from a few threads back:Otterloop posted:A friend told me about this thread 6 or 7 months ago, saying it's written by actual newspaper comic strip fans, close readers of the form who hold passionate opinions. So I started lurking, not so often as to be creepy, but enough to get a feel for what the readership is thinking. I'd sworn to keep my mouth shut and my head down so I didn't sway the conversation, or stifle the debate, or something.

I'm way more upset about newspaper comics than I ought to be. BigDave posted:A reminder, from a few threads back: Cool dude.

Not sure if this is the right time, but apparently there's a Prince Valiant RPG system campaign going on at Kickstarter. It's supposed to be simpler and more accessible so it calls itself a Storytelling Game. I have no clue about these things so can't tell you how good it sounds, but I figured you should know because it's Prince Valiant.

Richard Thompson was an incredible cartoonist and and a wonderful person. Cul de Sac for me and for everyone I've introduced it to is always a beautiful experience. That strip is so full of genuine love that it still floors me sometimes. I don't think anyone can capture that balance of love and laugh-out-loud humor quite like he did in the strip's criminally short time. A true master of the craft and overall chill dude. Later, RT. Everyone will miss you.
