So in Dick Tracy, what was the purpose of the other fat guy in Snails plan?

Dick Tracy is like a fever dream. Best not to think too much on it.

I believe the joke was that he needed it for his big, floppy nose. I know. I had to search for it, too.

Also, aren't emergency numbers free from a phonebooth? Brute force dialing with an instant confirmation and no cost.

I'm so happy for the return of King Aroo, it's one of my favorite strips. I love it so much that my girlfriend bought me a collection for Christmas, since she knows I love it from this thread. BC  Phoebe and her Unicorn  Bald-OH poo poo THE BABY FROM "OH BABY" WAS FINALLY SPAWNED IT WALKS AMONG US poo poo poo poo poo poo  Wizard of Id  Big Nate  Wallace the Brave is just some nice little artwork today.  Curtis  This is clunky, but I like it. Baby Blues  Honestly this is a marked improvement over regular Monopoly which, as several of you have pointed out, is a horrible loving game.

Cricken_Nigfops posted:Fetish comic. I think this might be one of the things that's most upsetting about Holbrook. All his stuff feels like a fetish comic, it has all the trappings of it, but I genuinely don't think they are meant to be. Not like Brooke. I don't think Holbrook is interesting enough to have such weird fetish poo poo. He just thinks it's all "world building" and "fun character traits" and is super-banal about his incredible fetish fodder. As a result, ALL his strips, even the mot mundane "lol office work amiright" strikes the same tone as the fetishy stuff, and suddenly it's all fetish.

If I remember right he is in something like Cirque du Soleil so obviously people in that always are on trapeze at all times. I don't know how his head isn't like a bloated tick from always being upside down though.

Like, if Holbrook's fetish is "people turning into stuff in a cartoonish way" then cool, whateves, I don't kinkshame. But it's not just that; it's that and characters whose joke is that they have a characteristic that isn't funny, and the weird rear end virtual world, and the weird world where the animal people are okay with slaughtering each other for food, and the perfect cheery goth girl. It's just too much, even spread across three strips. The Classic Dinette Set has never heard that one before.  Working Daze is all buildup, no payoff.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix finds your lack of faith...disturbing.

I don't get anything fetish-y or creepy with Holbrook, except for maybe Dethany's Male-pattern Baldness, which I think is just an homage to Edgar Allen Poe. Those themes are ever-present, but it doesn't give off that "creepy" vibe like Brooke and his creepy leg and lamprey fetish. Rose is Rose is kinda uncomfortable at times as it can be so saccharine and not in a funny way. Holbrook tries but isn't very funny and yet still he tries and he's not un-funny enough that I don't want to read his stuff. Also from what I've seen of his comic romances, he doesn't really obsess with them as much as others. They go on, but they aren't always central or over-taking of every strip when they do. They're not making out every other panel either. mastersord fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Aug 4, 2017 |
