The eyes have pretty much always done that, yeah. IIRC there was never any real explanation for it other than "the artists like doing it" until the new movie Spider-Man appeared in Civil War.

"Things just seem to work out."

Is this going to become a storyline where the new writer destroys everything the Spencer-Drivers and Parkers have, while we laugh and laugh? Oh, is it? Is it?

Or I guess she might just break a leg or lose her boyfriend and be humbled in that fashion.

Or, we'll be taunted with the continuing possibility of terrible things happening to the protagonists, but then instead they'll get money for no reason again.

So a few days ago we had that Luann where Shannon was mad that she had to go to some stupid wedding meeting instead of to the pool and it ends with her saying something like, "Why do I have to go to this dumb meeting" and Toni's like, "I'm asking myself the same thing." And clearly Toni was referring to why she has to take bratty Shannon to the meeting. But then the GoComics commenters all interpreted that as Toni referring to herself, since she never wanted a big wedding that needs lots of planning, and clearly that interpretation is idiotic.

Welp.

Luann


It's like they've tapped themselves directly into the Evanses brains or something.

quote:

Toni, all your adult life you’ve been coerced by guys, first by Dirk and by Jonah, and now this. Is Mr. Groomzilla here really the sort of guy you want to spend the rest of your life with? It’s time to break from these control freaks. Dump him, and do it now.

quote:

Brad might mistakenly think that a fancy wedding would make Toni happy because he grew up around little girls’ fantasies. He might truly want a fancy one, but he might have instead just said that he wants that.

If that is the case then at the same time Toni might think that a fancy wedding is Brad’s own desire.

In such a situation, unless they communicate – and do that fast – they could wind up with neither happy with their wedding and reception because each wanted to please the other.

That might not be what is going on, but it is the sort of confusion people make who are in love and want to please each other. We have our own old stories about that and inam sure otgers here also do.

quote:

Awww. Why do weddings have to be so crazy? She does need to get him to pull over and listen to her desires. Don’t blow up, Toni. Just calmly tell him that if he doesn’t listen, she is going to go to Italy to look for her ancesters…or something equally scary to him.

quote:

Since Bread realizes that there’s nothing “girly” about Toni Daytona, all this wedding schmaltz is his own preference. Run, Toni, run.

quote:

Brad – “Blah Blah. Blah, Blah, Blah. Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, BLAH!”
Toni – “Brad, Darling, I’m Only going to SAY This ONCE: Shut the Heck Up!!!!”

It's definitely going to be CTE and it's definitely going to be handled with all the grace and finesse of TomBat's usual approach to serious medical ailments. Although admittedly some sick part of me wants to see TomBat's spin on, say, Chris Benoit.

Are the Luann comments all from the same guy? With the dumb titles for strips and the awkward punctuation? They all seem to read the same.

Also did one of them seriously call Brad "Bread" as an insult? What the gently caress.

Uuuuuuuuuuughh. gently caress Scott Adams.

Yes, Brad, pull over because you are speeding. This is the completely normal and sane solution people have to noticing that they are driving slightly faster than intended.

If a guy is a flake about babysitting arrangements for his kid, his kid should be taken away and given to more responsible relatives. If couple has differing ideas of what sort of wedding they want, they should break up ASAP. What delightful interpersonal relationships these people must have.

Rex Morgan MD

Julet Esqu posted:

Clearly the new writer is trying to break this cycle of Rex Morgan MD never doing any doctoring that we see. I would like to think that he didn't give any particular instruction for how Rex would look in the second panel and the artist was like, "If I know one thing about Rex Morgan, it's the face he makes at the prospect of actually doing his job."

Wait, if Rex Morgan isn't getting free poo poo anymore, and Judge Parker is going super dark... where can I get my fix of "Rick folk getting tons of money for free" comics?
