The Bloop posted:What the gently caress even is this thing? I missed/ignored the beginning and now reading random ones it just seems like someone's fevered dream conflating Keifer Sutherland in 24 and Phone Booth Guy wakes up trapped in a phone booth with amnesia. Doesn't realize he has amnesia, because the last thing he remembers was also coincidentally in a phone booth, several years earlier. Figures out a concrete alcove collapsed over a whole bank of payphones. Spends hours trying to survive until rescue comes, by chipping a hole in the concrete to get the neighboring empty booth which still contains fresh air. Eventually logics out a way to contact the outside, finds out that in his missing years he lost his wife and became a rebel/terrorist to avenge her. The embassy bombs that collapsed the alcove are his doing. Decides to try to redeem himself by closing his air hole to leave that air for the innocent bystander in the booth two over. The end, no moral!

Fleep started off good, it really did. If done properly, it could be great. 1/3 of the way in though it stops making sense, and what the author considered to be complex riddles with smart answers was, in reality, semi-coherent, self-congratulatory babble. The last part is just a random concoction - I've read it twice now and there are still points I don't get, my stupidity notwithstanding.

Of course the immediate point of comparison was Garfield, so by that point it only needed one original idea per thousand strips to be vastly better. U.S. Acres is still a dumb name for it, though.

And of course like Garfield himself, it was done much better in the cartoon version (which is probably the only place a majority of people would have heard about it from). What's the story on the strip anyway? Was it just some side project Davis was working on during the early days of Garfield? Larryb fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Aug 26, 2017 |

Strontium posted:Intelligent Life Ok, so tell me if I got this right. So, in this nerd-based universe, the worst thing in the world is to enjoy sports. Thus, the jock guy, who is never actually mean or aggressive to any of the other characters is THE WORST EVER because he enjoys sports. And so while we might understand that his amiable invitation to enjoy sports with him as an attempt at friendship, the nerd characters understand it as a horrible insult to their core. So the woman nerd gets her cruel, cruel revenge by doing the worst thing anybody can think of. She... enjoys sports at him? And it works. Imgur is giving me the redass. I'll keep working on the Luann thing.

Plus we rag on him pretty hard so if he was going to reference us I would think it would be negative. I mean it's possible he's saying hi but I don't think so.
