CommaToes posted:That's... I don't know, this comic just has a way of dialog that makes no sense. It seems that the author WANTS to tell a joke, or something resembling one. But has no idea of subtlely, art or nuance. Yeah, "Tinkersons" really is a uniquely, maybe even instructively "bad" comic strip. (please keep posting it!) On a sort-of related note, when I was browsing through GoComic's comics a few weeks ago to see what might be good I noticed that I quickly bypassed or rejected a lot of strips offhand for a few simple reasons: The strip was almost painful to look at; I did not read. The strip was named in part or full or, worst, in pun, after the creator of the strip. A GoComics avatar icon showing a lumpy/pale/stressed/ aging person in an office, and all of the "woke millennial" navel gazing strips, even when I liked the art. (am totes a woke millennial, tho). Strip setups where the joke is pretty much "plug and play". Character is irrelevant, you're just telling a joke and there's no extra humor payout in the artwork or story. I am actually really biased against strips with animal characters. I didn't know that. Talking animals in a human world I'm fine with, but most or all animal character strips are just...I don't know.

That reminds me of when Working Daze went on about Dirk Gently and I was like "why are they suddenly all over a 2010 show with Stephen Mangan" before I found out there was a new version which was, unsurprisingly, bollocks.

I know, right?! It was looking interesting enough until the titular character came in, and then it nose-dived.

There are a lot of comics in this thread that I hate (some even generally well-regarded by other posters), but there are very few that I would actually categorize as a hate read. It's a very fine line between love-to-hate and just plain hate. I just skip Mike du Jour and Piranha Club. I am incapable of reading Sylvia; even when I make an effort, my eyes just slide right off it. I read or skip Chickweed or Working Daze or New Nancy as the mood strikes me. But I can't miss Luann. Not even once. I can't cheat myself of the full scope of my raaaaage. Luann  Haaaaaate The Amazing Spider-Man  I see they attempted to update Aunt May's hairdo in the older strips.

Moomin Goes Wild West (click for previous)  Like any good movie, the comic ends in a chase. I must admit I respect the blood thirsty Indian's pipe and jewelry taste. And thus ends the story, not with a bang but a splash. Next in line is Snorkmaiden Goes Rococo which is direct continuation to this story, when I bother scanning some pages.
