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

I really wish there was a rule about wearing perfume or heavily perfumed body products to the gym. It gives me a loving headache to be working out next to someone that smells like they fell over into a case of axe or raspberry dream.

Mirrors ARE an essential piece of equipment at the gym. How else would you check your squat form?

It's completely static. Lifeless. Like it's been put together from pre drawn parts, which it almost certainly has.

I'm sure if someone did one of those panel comparison gifs of the strip, there'd be very little change.

If you cross your eyes and fuse the panels together, you will, indeed, see that only the mouth parts change and the arms are overlaid.

I do not know what is broken within me, but Brooke just doesn't OFFEND me. It's boring.ugly, garbage, but it just doesnt offend.
Holbrook? He offends me on a near daily basis that Brooke WISHES he could reach.

Brooke is really just exercising his fetish in public. It's gross and possibly a little bit rude, but it isn't, like immoral, unless making bad art is immoral.

Holbrook is actively promoting some really unhealthy ideas about relationships and marketing them to exactly the people who don't need to hear them. (Admittedly I have no reason to believe any of them are paying the slightest bit of attention.)

Brooke is definitely promoting unhealthy ideas about relationships but I have no idea if anyone is paying attention.

Yeah, and see, if you look at this one, even though the setting is relatively static, you can tell that each panel was hand-drawn and lettered (look at the Ts, for instance). There are a lot of little inconsistencies that end up making it feel more organic, as opposed to the "made in Flash from existing assets" vibe of Today's Garf. Also, the jokes are just better.

Oh, I guess you could be right; I just have an incredibly difficult time following what's going on in Brooke's stuff because it's so decompressed-yet-mildly-bizarre.
