Perhaps you have not been to the *Playground*.
The *Playground* is for Taalo and for Orz, but *Campers* can go.
It more fun than several.
You can go there for too much fun.

Every woman wants a man who is a smoker and is easily lead to cheat on their current partner!

In the black & white version of this that ran in my morning newspaper, Mike looks nude in that last panel. Combined with whatever it is he's holding there I had to stare at it a bit to convince myself I wasn't seeing what I thought.

I am finding it very hard to imagine Dashiell Hammett, who was a high school dropout, ever using a sentence like "The writing begins when those story parts come together in my subconscious like some kind of colorful tapestry." (It gets darkly hilarious, although certainly not in the way Batiuk intended, when you know that Hammett struggled endlessly with writer's block for the last couple decades of his life.)

Yeah, it is weird. It's a stitched-together quote from Barry Longyear's "Science Fiction Writer's Workshop - I: An Introduction to Fiction Mechanics." Except Longyear says "...like some kind of great puzzle." (Not "colorful tapestry.")

So what exactly did Floyd do or say that was deep or interesting? Wants a stable longterm relationship. Enjoys sleeping. Quoted Jane Austen once.
Because all the nerd references are exactly what you'd expect from Skip. gently caress this writing.

Where did he get the change of clothes and the bag from?

Well, not just his beard.

Johnny Walker posted:



For one, he's trying to "sex up" Cherry here, which in itself is weird and off-putting to long-term readers, but also to do that he makes a terribly proportioned bikini body probably taken from a photo, and plops Cherry's 1940s head just right on top of it. It just doesn't fit together or work in any way. His drawings of women are frankly disturbing to me altogether, really. I don't think he's a pervert, but they're clearly there just for "show."
And some of them are clearly traced from porn.

The fact that Luann's parents allowed their employee to pay for an expensive dinner he didn't explicitly invite them to is appalling to me. I am IRL mad at a comic.
