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.

Sarah will lose her memory of who she or her family is, and then the old lady will kidnap her to brainwash her into being her sister/daughter whatever it was

Some Guy TT posted:Also, as far as ancient thread history goes, what happened to Lost Side of Suburbia? A very lengthy story ended with an extended break before another story began, but nobody started posting it again. I can't answer the question about Zachary Nixon Johnson though because everything about it left my memory the second it stopped being posted. Hard to follow maybe? Weird art? Weird story? idr

If memory serves, ZNJ had questionable art and writing, but ultimately was only dropped because it stopped outright. Possibly because no one picked it up, or the one place it was being published dropped it.

I wonder how many strips have been dedicated to KABOOM "MARK! ABBY! OH NO THE ISLAND! MAAAARKKKK AAAABBEEEEEEEEEEEEE" FABLAAAAAM compared to how many were dedicated to OH NO MARK WE'RE GOING DEEPER INTO THE CAVE OH NO AN UNDERWATER RIVER MARK HOLD YOUR BREATH LADY WHOSE NAME I CAN'T RECALL BUT WAS DRAWN LIKE A GHOUL WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE"

Shugojin posted:Goddammit I knew you would return within days of me posting Ballard Street Hey, I don't own any comics. I only started posting Ballard Street and Pooch Café because I liked them and I wanted other people to like them too. Seeing as how they're both being posted by other people now, I can rest easy with the satisfaction of a job well done. Until I finish catching up on the thread and start posting these Psychedelicomix I've been collecting this whole time.

Zereth posted:I feel like they've blocked out so many months for the storyline, and then set out to draw it and found they didn't have enough to fill that time without tons of repetitive stuff. The worst part is if we're actually going through the four elements plotlines Jam Esallen had planned I'm pretty sure we've got a solid half a year of "air" to look forward to. And yet I will continue to post Mark Trail for vague reasons I haven't completely figured out yet. Bile fascination?

The title alone makes the Zachary comic sound like a preppier version of Saved by the Bell.

Johnny Walker posted:I forgot all about this comic, so I went to refresh my memory, and I can't find it on GoComics or ComicsKingdom, so I guess it was dropped. It probably didn't help that this was the last thing posted on the GoComics ZNJ page. It was taken down on the same day it went up, along with the rest of the comics.  (For whatever reason, the font they chose ended up clipping off the top few rows of pixels on each line. This is the way that it was posted.) edit: might as well throw some comics in this post Heathcliff  Piranha Club  Dick Tracy  Judge Parker  9 Chickweed Lane  Aardmania fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Dec 8, 2016 |

It's not that Dinette Set is a bad comic. It's just that I hate it.Cosima posted:Didn't he sleep on the plane ride over? Also where is the obligatory 7 strips dedicated to him popping a mile long boner over her corset dress? Don't worry. Everybody will see it when they Luann  The Amazing Spider-Man  Today Petey has forgotten both that he has met beings from other planets before and that he's only supposed to act like Spider-Man when he is dressed like Spider-Man! What else may he have forgotten? Any number of things! The answer is limited only by your imagination! Sally Forth  The Heart of Juliet Jones

It was taken down on the same day it went up, along with the rest of the comics. ...Oh my god I actually remember this. I don't actually remember anything about it but I remember there was once a time where I sort of understood what that weird postscript meant. This was not the revelation I was expecting when I asked someone to describe what Zachary Nixon Johnson was actually about. I now have memories flooding back to me of goons occasionally making comments to the effect of "does anyone have any idea what the gently caress is happening in this comic". I'm surprised any of you could place it from the name alone since that's just as irrelevant as anything else in that comic. Kid Fenris posted:I remember this one. Calvin and Hobbes' decline into luddite preachiness was really hard to take. Remember last page when I mentioned how South Koreans are weirdly nonchalant about living in what would have been called a police state a generation ago? They're not the only ones. It's All Right Chief Dharma  ...In other cultural differences, yeah, a lot of the bad work culture in South Korea is mandated by social pressure rather than actual legal obligations. Which is weird, because a generation ago doing things on "Korean time" meant doing stuff really slow and lazy.  ...And in more mundane cultural differences everyone hikes for fun in South Korea, mostly because there's mountains everywhere.

What everyone forgets about Calvin and Hobbes is that Watterson realized it was starting to suck and that's why he ended it.
