Oh man, I'll miss Tina's Groove, definitely one of the better strips in the thread.Johnny Walker posted:This is my take on it. We complain about zombie strips in here all the time, but at one point those strips were popular, funny, and relevant (or at least I assume they were), and their creators/syndicates and fans refused to just let them go when they were well past their prime. I say good for Rina for taking this step. True, true. Although for every Nancy that used to be good, there's a Piranha Club or Funky Winkerbean that was always bad.

I'm glad to see Piccolo moving on to something she loves, but Rhymes With Orange definitely feels like a weaker strip, at least so far. I'm sure it can and will grow but this really feels like a big step down.

Calaveron posted:Pearls Before Swine should've been smothered in the crib I remember how much I liked both of these when they started. I haven't read Get Fuzzy in years, and I just scroll past Pearls because it's so tediously smug. Ugh do I even like newspaper comics?

Get Fuzzy is almost entirely reruns now, right, except the occasional Sunday? That's what Wikipedia says anyways. It doesn't get posted here much and I don't seek it out. Pearls was my favorite strip for a while but I have not particularly liked it in a long time.

I hope Darby has moved on to better things. I retract my statement. Good on him for getting out when the strip got stale.

Haifisch posted:I remember liking Pearls as a teenager, but it's definitely outlived Pastis' creativity. I don't remember every other strip being a "heh heh, I sure make terrible puns, amirite?" punchline back in the late 00s, for instance. I remember it being like an occasional sunday strip joke, where the added length of the comic gave more panels to build the ridiculous pun. And because they didn't come up all the time, and because of how much more panels had to go into building up the reveal, it felt more like a clever riddle than a groan-worthy punchline. I've always loved Rhymes with Orange, and I'm happy for Rina Piccolo that she gets to do something she's always wanted to do. Tina's Groove was really a cool little comic, and good on her for not wringing the life out of it.

Tina's Groove was really a cool little comic, and good on her for not wringing the life out of it. This is exactly how I feel about it. Rhymes is good, Rina is good, and if she can make a living focusing on a single, collaborative, single-panel strip, then good for her, and we have some really good comics to look forward to. Tina's Groove was pretty often a single-panel anyway; I'll miss the characters and the setting, but I trust her to end it in such a way (like we recently saw thread-favorite Chief Dharma get a great ending) that's true to her art and the people who enjoyed it. And yeah, reposts from the beginning - whoever feels like picking that up - of Tina's Groove Classic would be a welcome addition here, for sure.

Not to slice it up too fine but perhaps Tina's Groove is done being a syndicated comic for now but Rina Piccolo retains rights.

Tracksuit  In the original he's speaking in English rather than nautical terms. Mother From Another Country  In the original he's referred to as "old-looking school friend" but I really like "The Moustache" name he got in the last comic so I'm looking for excuses to work it in there.

I know these strips were probably written like two months ago but it still seems like a special kind of bad taste to be running these strips when an American citizen was just basically murdered by the North Korean regime for a trivial "crime." I wonder how many newspapers are doing reruns or other strips during all this.

Wait do some dishwashers actually use a hot water connection instead of just heating the water itself? Mine isn't even hooked to the hot water pipe, it heats the water itself as it runs. I was going to brag mine is better but I'm not sure what's more efficient now that I think about it.

I always assumed most of them worked that way? I've at least had one that worked a lot better when you drew hot water to the kitchen sink first(apartment with hot water that was very, very slow to actually get hot).

So, bets on Intelligent Life- think it's going to be her sitting there for 2 weeks as the guy is a no-show? Or she thinks he's a no show, and leaves, only to do a reveal that it's Skip? Kinda disappointed about the Barry fakeout, and even more disappointed with myself for being in any way non-ironically invested in this strip.
