Cicadalek: May 8, 2006; Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another

It's weird to see all this praise for the sound effects in Foob. Maybe it depends on what era of the comic you're reading, but I remember Foob as a comic where when someone is eating the sound effects are "EAT EAT MUNCH CHEW"

The Evanses realized they made the criminal to interesting compared to Luann, so decided to do a quick distraction with the ole' tubby Tiffany. We will never see Tara or whatever her name was again.

Nah. Tara's been sneaking into Tiffany's dorm room at night and feeding her twinkies while she sleeps. Once a master criminal, always a master criminal.

Some might suggest that the fact that you only remember "eat eat munch chew" but must have read..."glorrmmnp smourf glurp" means that artistic onomatopoeia did its job seamlessly.

The Classic Dinette Set observes the five-second rule.

Working Daze is one joke, three punchlines.

Super-Fun-Pak-Comix confirms what I've known all along.

I don't know how to edit an image with a gradient background and not have it look like poo poo, but rest assured I still tried it by erasing the last two balloons in Working Daze and it made the joke actually work.

Having it not look like poo poo didn't stop me from spending 50 seconds in Paint:

It's not a great joke, but at least it vaguely resembles one.

Create a new gradient using the colours on both extremes of the original one, fill a new layer with it in the same orientation, go over it with the eraser wherever you want to keep stuff from the bottom layer. You don't need to be perfect around the edges, since the original gradient is still there it'll blend right in.

Or: select what you want to delete, create new gradient using the colours right above and below your selection, fill selection. But replacing the whole gradient usually gets much smoother.

Can pseudo confirm. A Caucasian friend was living and working throughout asia and on more than one occasion had a stranger walk up to her and touch her breasts and say "big". It was about as uncomfortable a social interaction as you could imagine.

I am sort of squicked out by Milton being the dad of Heather's kid if he is. Seems like it raises some consent issues.

I go to the hot baths every week or so and this has never happened to me though. Not saying I disbelieve your friend or anything, just seems kind of ironic that in the comic it's the guy getting ogled and the woman who's unambiguously enjoying the experience.

I just love how Heather muscled her way in to millions of dollars and left Milton's adult children from his first marriage out to dry from Milton's company despite him being mentally incompetent and unfit to run it and now has her child from a hopefully different man set to inherit all the money like some Borgia family poo poo

More of a commentary on some asian cultures lack of (or at least very different) boundaries . Also see black people's hair.

I had the same thought but I felt gross about even mentioning it.

Edit: That's the kind of Compu-Toon I love: unintelligible, but only just barely.

I'll try to remember to try that when I get home. Today's WD is another one that can be improved by removing a speech balloon but at least it's just flat coloring this time.
