Anyway, let's face it, comic syndication and national readership has changed since this thread began over a decade ago. Barkeater Lake is also a webcomic, and was first published directly to GoComics. Which strip is based on the time she threw her baby into the snow?

Calaveron posted:Aaron was the one who had to photograph the scene of a grisly car crash that involved an old girlfriend while Michael heroically pulled said girlfriend out of the wreck and later married her right Well, there is more to it. Aaron didn't know that the vehicle contained an old school crush, until later. It hosed him up pretty good and he needed therapy. Her using that in the strip like that, was one of the major reasons he stopped talking to her.

Not a "Piece of poo poo" story so much, but I always loved the story between her and Charles Schultz about the family dog in her strip. She had planned the storyline of the dog's death, but ended up having to keep its release date tightly under wraps because Schultz (a close friend) responded to the idea by basically calling it out as melodramatic bullshit and said "If you run that story I swear to God I'll hit a Snoopy with a bus the same week and take the wind out of your sails" (paraphrased). Petty? Sure. But in hindsight that makes Schultz even more of a legend in my eyes.

I keep hearing all these stories about Lynn Johnston's son and I've heard them so many times they may as well be true, but can someone actually cite them? Specifically Aaron not talking to Lynn or him coming out of the closet? Modesty Blaise

I actually got a check from a credit card company last month for goddamn 97 cents. Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise I'm quite enjoying Modesty And Willie Pretend to get Kidnapped Theater.

That would make no sense since this doesn't sound any more controversial or eeeeeevil than a lingerie party (at most it just needs a bigger venue and is probably bigger than the Fuse has room for), so that's probably what's happening.

Transmodiar posted:I keep hearing all these stories about Lynn Johnston's son and I've heard them so many times they may as well be true, but can someone actually cite them? Specifically Aaron not talking to Lynn or him coming out of the closet? Seconded. I know the story about her throwing him into the snow was from an interview that I read ages ago, but I don't know where the rest of it is from. And this is the first I've ever heard about him being gay. I like my gossip to be properly sourced. It still irritates me how Stephanie McMillan's name pops up in these forums randomly as "the woman who ate the rat-eaten mango" when that's not actually what she did. (the blog post was a picture of a bunch of fruit she found outside that was piled up and she wrote that they ate everything except the rat-eaten mango. She worded it weird though so I can at least see where the assumption comes from) Green Intern posted:God, Kevin and Kell is so hosed up. For real, I wonder if Holbrook realizes just how badly the whole cannibalism screws up the whole milquetoast "discrimination is wrong" angle he's going for. There's an insane blog post in me somewhere on how this represents liberal values intentionally defining racism as being mere ignorant intolerance rather than an explicit existential threat since acknowledging the latter would indict their complicity as much as it would conservatives. But eh, this isn't C-SPAM. Tracksuit   I rather like this one. At first you think it's criticizing the idea that the value of English language instruction is overrated, then you realize that in retrospect several hundred years of making everyone study Chinese was probably a gigantic waste of time considering how few people actually had reason to learn it. Mother From Another Country  Full disclosure in the context of webcomic rules chat- Mother From Another Country is a webcomic. So were all the post fakeout ending Dharmas. Dharma was definitely in a newspaper before then, though, that's where I first read it. There are other Korean newspaper comics kicking around but I haven't seen one I felt like translating yet. Mother From Another Country is kind of weird as Korean webcomics go, since Park Seong-hoon still adheres to an exact format length when he has no technical reason to do so. Most Korean webcomic artists just use the infinite canvas as proposed by Scott McCloud to write whatever they want. I mean I get it- I work under those same restrictions when I do all my work online and have no reason to either. Once you get into the habit it's hard to break.

It still irritates me how Stephanie McMillan's name pops up in these forums randomly as "the woman who ate the rat-eaten mango" when that's not actually what she did. The quote that was passed around was "Here's some fruit I picked from the yard about five days ago. The mango on top was half-eaten by a rat, I ate the rest of it. It was great." With enough distance, yeah, it was probably an "eats, shoots and leaves" situation where people assumed from bad comma placement (and past performance) that she ate the side the rat didn't get to. During peak MiniSec, McMillan did let mosquitos "have a little blood, which seems okay here because we don't have malaria or dengue fever in Florida (yet)." That one's unambiguous enough to call her survival instincts into question, and make me wonder if she caught the Zika virus since we stopped paying attention to her.

On the other hand, I kinda hope Luann gets a tattoo and we can have one of those after school special arcs that Luann thrives on, about 20 years after it would have been semi relevant and revolving around the chinese character for "fart".
