But I do have a new addition to my lineup!
Presenting: The Flying McCoys!


I don't actually know much about this comic other than its authors, a pair of political cartoonist brothers with very open minds who are great fans of pickles. I'm sure it'll be fun for the whole family!

You know, I had considered that comic as one I'd post for all the same reasons. Then I figured by that reasoning I should be posting The Duplex too, and that was more than I wanted to commit to. They're mostly bland but ugly strips, so outside the context of the McCoys being rampant shitheads they're not very interesting.

It will never cease to impress me that, on paper, Anne Gibbons and I probably agree on quite a few issues, and yet I always find her contributions to Six Chix utterly insufferable. Maybe it's because her attempts at "political commentary" consist of toothless and yet self-righteous observations, like in this strip where I'm supposed to believe there are people who haven't heard of the Green Party despite it being perhaps the most well-known third party in the country? Maybe it's because the other five contributors are so routinely apolitical I find the intrusion unpleasant? It's the damnedest thing.

It's probably because this is the closest thing to a joke she's ever had in her political strips. All the others are just a character with a smug smirk looking at the reader and listlessly intoning one of the author's political opinions. I mean, look at this poo poo:

I guess it is customary for a new writer to change up the cast. That or we're looking at the worst case of sour grapes in all of comics history. "Replace me as a writer, will they? Let's see how Sally Forth boy writes his way out of this one!"

It's Wilson's last strip, if anything it's a sign of considerable restraint after 25 years of writing the thing.

Or, as per the sour grapes theory, he wants Marciuliano to be hit by complaints :tinfoil:

Months and months of buildup, or rather aimless exposition, and the first dramatic moment is handled in a few "bare essentials" panels that may as well be a loss edit.

I absolutely love how no one's working on the badly injured car accident victim, they just transferred her from the ambulance to a regular hospital bed and went "nothing more we can do for her, or her unborn child."

Allen and Vorderbrug: when they talk about making someone comfortable in their final moments, they don't mean putting a blanket on them and raising the bed.
