Either way, I'm forced to conclude that arguing for or against Working Daze requires entirely too much thought about Zakour's comics.

Don't lump Dinette Set with Dorking Daze and Unintelligent Tripe. Dinette is actually good and has a sort of Todd Solonz-y vibe to it which I like. It is about horrible tiny people living their horrible tiny lives and I realize it's not everyone's cup of tea but it depicts its material very well and in an entertaining way. It's still nothing compared to Creeps. I want more Creeps.

I can't decide if the worst thing about Take it From the Tinkersons is the strip existing in the first place, or that its presence implies the existence of a target group that would consider this kind of preemptive subservience about a completely irrelevant issue a relatable situation. It's like the Dinette Set, but worse, because it considers its characters normal.

Nothing she could do could make it any worse. Hell, it could even be a legitimate improvement. For one, there's a high chance it would be funny once in a blue moon.

SomeMathGuy posted:Mark Trail Meets Incredible Shrinking Arms It's honestly really impressive how poo poo the art is. It obviously takes time to draw all those exploding fireballs (assuming they're not clip art) and hideously mutated bodies, but jam esallen apparently despises his job so much that he will actively go through the effort of making things look bad.

"So where is your avatar from, one of those crazy Japanese horror comics I read so much about?" "Nah, just the Korean version of Dilbert." I'm sick of this avatar. I'd change it except I never post anywhere but here so what's the point... Andorra posted:I think ZNJ was first posted in these threads when somebody went through GoComic's A-Z list a few posting a few comics at a time, and I guess it looked like it could be interesting so it continued getting posted. I know I could just look this comic up myself, but I'm curious of anyone would explain what specifically was so awful about Zachary Nixon Johnson. Also, as far as ancient thread history goes, what happened to Lost Side of Suburbia? Oh, and speaking of comics with dubious thread relevance- Nina's Adventures  Now, as to why I'm posting these and where I got them-  ...Yes, Dave Sim, of all people, took time to endorse Nina Paley's comics in a Cerebus issue. Dave Sim did this pretty frequently, because he was big on self-publishing. It's the best resource I've been able for find when it comes to getting an idea of what exactly the independent comic book scene looked like before the Internet. The titles advertised are, unsurprisingly, almost impossible to find today even when you know their names. I've considered posting stuff from these previews before but, as noted, they're not exactly comic strips. Aside from this Nina's Adventures feature the only other one I have that seems close is an update of Rarebit Fiends. It's All Right Chief Dharma  Anyway, back to the usual.  I get the impression sometimes that Chief Dharma is intended as a public service announcement. CCTV is, in fact, pretty much everywhere in South Korea. Kind of unnerving how no one seems to think of this as a big deal, especially with all the usual propaganda about how North Korea is a police state for keeping people under surveillance all the time.
