Buni Rhymes with Orange  Pros and Cons  Edge of Mustaches  Another useless time-waster of a strip, with a vaguely sinister animal for extra padding. It's like being in a RPG with the guy who insists on playing out every interaction instead of just saying, "Okay, the captain assures you you'll be safe on the ship. Meanwhile..."

Evil Mastermind posted:Oh, I get it. He is acting out of character, in that he is worried he backed over someone's mailbox. Clearly, we (as the long-time readers) are to be confused by this sudden change in the main character's personality, and thus stay in a state of tension wondering what has happened. the joke is that he said he "brushed up" against it when from the loud noise we can tell that he did a lot more damage than that

Ein cooler Typ posted:the joke is that he said he "brushed up" against it when from the loud noise we can tell that he did a lot more damage than that The Crankshaft Explainer appears weekly in over 700 newspapers worldwide. Also, have you guys looked at the Crankshaft article on Wikipedia? Because it is alarmingly thorough and, uh, full of surprises: quote:Rape: Crankshaft became the subject of some degree of controversy when Batiuk wrote a cartoon that some readers and editors thought trivialized rape by saying that only young, attractive women need to fear sexual assault, implying that rape was in some sense a compliment. It was pulled from publication in at least one paper.

The Classic Dinette Set is concerned for public safety. Working Daze makes an irrelevant reference.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix is just lazy writing.

Johnny Walker posted:Yeah not a big fan of Toby's character design either. It's not so much the wild eyes for me. It's more that she's a bit too "generic," but I guess she kind of always has been, if you think about it. I don't think we've seen Ian yet? I kind of look forward to that. I'm new to the comics thread relatively speaking, and new to Mary Worth, so for the entire arc up until now I thought Toby was Iris. Great character design indeed.

Julet Esqu posted:Luann It's really the hallmarks of lovely strips when the supposed "villains" are more sympathetic than the "heros". From the backstory, Les grew up in Foster care, but his mother and uncle are still alive. He is making payments on something, probably court related? Anyway, it's obvious the dude is loving starved for affection and latched onto the first person to actually treat him halfway decently.
