I attended an Indian/Finnish wedding last weekend, and I had a lovely little conversation with the mother of the groom about comics. Started with some light Moomin talk, she showed me her gold Wagner pendant, and I impressed the hell out of her by understanding a Fingerpori strip. Thanks, comic strip thread! The honeymoon was a ski trip with the whole wedding party invited, and every single person on the groom's side complained about how cold the sauna was. I'm going to have to get them into a jimjilbang and see how they like the 125 degree salt room.

The lady was just about to reach into the cash register to pull out the $3.95 the calendar was worth, but changed her mind into only giving her store credit after she realized this girl is just a miserable bitch, and she wouldn't be surprised if she was related to that sour rear end in a top hat Kudlick she knew back in college.

Curtis reminds you that Curtis' dad/Ray Billingsley loving haaaaaaates rap music, which never made sense to me because he's supposed to be, at most, like 45-50, and when he pines for "music they made in my day", he really should be talking about early rap and hip-hop but instead it's some Gilchrist-esque reminiscing about Nat King Cole or some poo poo. Baldo makes literally the same joke as yesterday's Family Circus:  Big Nate:  Wizard of Id:  And no new Wallace The Brave yet, so here's a thing I found on GoComics' "new comic alert" page instead:

So as long as I'm back I might as well post comix. Lost Side of Suburbia is by Kory Merritt and it's online-only, but he's worked with the creator of Pooch Café before, it's hosted on GoComics and ,most importantly, I like it. Last time we left off it had taken a hiatus after a controversial years-long epic storyline. Don't expect another one of those.   Dope Rider is something I've been waiting to post for a while. Written and illustrated by Paul Kirchner, best known in this thread as the creator of The Bus, Dope Rider is a Western epic about an immortal weed loving skeleton that appeared in High Times magazine in the 70s and 80s because of course it did.   I post edits sometimes too. This is one of my favourites, but I'd be hard-pressed to explain it to somebody who hasn't been following these threads for years:  I used to have two regular edit series going on that I haven't added to in a long time: Hägar the Historically-Accurate Viking  Originally I was just replacing text with historical references, but at some point I started trying to write jokes that actual vikings would find funny. Full gallery: http://imgur.com/a/goA13 Everybody is an rear end in a top hat to Winnie the Pooh  I only edited like half of these. The Pooh newspaper strip has a much different tone than the disney movies. Full gallery: http://imgur.com/a/oH6NE

I didn't expect Lost Side of Suburbia to reference Crumb, but its also been a while and I can't remember if there was a previous reference that made me raise my eyebrow. Also interested in Dope Rider, and I love Hagar the Historically-Accurate Viking.

Johnny Walker posted:Most of my comics are from Comics Kingdom, but hopefully they will still be available from newspaper sites, albeit most likely smaller sized. The GoComics changes are annoying but they're not too aggressive; it should only take a couple of extra clicks to let you save images. In Chrome, for example, you should just need to "Inspect Element" on the comic then untick "pointer-events" in ".item-comic-link-disabled". You could even have a script that does that automatically, though at that point you might as well have the script auto-upload them to imgur for you and save all of the clicks.

Of course painting is pretty different from drawing. Specifically, oil painting is a hell of a lot easier. I'm a really lovely freehand artist but only moderately lovely at oil painting.
