Was Forehead trying to set her brother up with Lu Ann because of some ridiculous fantasy she had and is now mad because reality doesn't match her imagination? I remember her (or was it another woman in the strip?) going on about how only The Perfect Woman could ever have her brother. It was more than a bit bizarre and creepy.

One could argue the difference between laziness and pandering, but I think we can all agree that Guy Gilchrist Sucks and Must Be Destroyed. And to think that Ivan Brunetti almost got that gig.

I haven't seen it in this thread but Shoe is the laziest comic strip. Every time I see a Shoe strip it's always an old joke or pun I've heard before. The characters are irrelevant and it could just be the joke written without needing to be a comic. Even the bad comics like working daze at least have the characters make jokes based on who their characters are and it's not an old generic joke every time was Shoe ever better like maybe when the original guy was writing it

Shoe was not-terrible about a million years ago but calling it "good" would be a bit of a stretch, plus it begat Pluggers so that's a huge strike against it right there. At least it's well-drawn, which is true of depressingly few comics anymore.

Sadly, they're dress shopping for the blonde thing with tiny eyes that's banging Luann's brother. Why are there so many characters in this strip with tiny eyes? The style kinda clashes with all the older characters.

I want to say original Shoe was mostly mediocre, but for three months out of the year the "joke" was that Skyler the kid bird accidentally goes to a boot camp instead of a summer camp. So I say Shoe always sucked and it may actually be better now. I have to leave, Inspector Brit is coming on.

Julet Esqu posted:Luann I can't even imagine a situation in the real world where a bridesmaid has designed her own dress - and done it BEFORE the actual bride has selected her own dress - and is now saying the bride's dress must match hers. That has to rank at least a 9.5 in being loving rude.

I thought it was supposed to be a hijab. In a rare display of progressive spirit by one of those aggressively bland suburban WASP family strips, presumably, although I suppose it would clash with the cleavage.
