Angular Cyrus posted:Pop Team Epic OWNS Pastry of the Year posted:I don't know if this is against forums rules or will seem like shilling, but you can buy signed hardback collections of the bus right from the author, if you're so inclined. I liked what I read in this thread so much that I did. This isn't to say "stop posting the bus," far from it; it's a great addition to the thread and we're all pretty much posting in a gray area, here. I just dig it when you can buy bound collections directly from the comic artists; I bought my copy of Beaucoup Arlo and Janis the same way (which is weird, if you're interested - it's listed on Amazon for train-robbery prices, but I ordered mine off of Jimmy Johnson's website for what seems like a perfectly normal price...) I don't quite understand - many strips posted here also exist in collection form. I will respect the author's wishes should he say something and it's like with The Far Side. And in any event a physical collection of the bus would go right to the top of my Christmas list, but what's this weirdness about only selling on eBay? the bus owns...is it also Christmas shopping?

I am enjoying this comic. Some Guy TT posted:Mother From Another Country Is the tweezer thing a joke I would get if I spoke Korean?  Yes. Daydreaming that you are a character in a production that you are not in is the very definition of BOLD.

Poil posted:There's no shame in remembering old Garfield strips in good detail. Is there? I used to look forward to buying the old paperback collections. Not the fancy square books that kids today use. No, this was an inconveniently shaped rectangle. I had the first 20 of them. "Garfield Sits Around the House" is the only title I remember. But they were all bad puns (except the first one which was just Garfield, I think). Edit: I was wrong. The first book was "Garfield At Large: His First Book" There are now more than 60 of them.

I don't know what's a worse strip at this point. Intelligent Life or On The Fastrack. Holbrook's worst offences are a result of him being straight up stuck in 1995, technologically, socially, and politically. Intelligent Life is terrible in premise, horribly written, abhorrently drawn, the execution makes it the Big Bang Theory of comic strips. Let's just stop posting both.

The thing that pisses me off about Intelligent Life, besides everything about it, is that it is brightly colored and "reads' well at a glance, so unlike the vast majority of strips here that I hate it's like a speed bump for my eyeballs and I always linger on it just long enough to get the gist and that gist is always infuriatingly terrible and please for the love of god just make it stop.

I eyeroll at Intel Life, get genuinely peeved at Gilchrist's Nancypander, and scroll right by WorkingDaze, but I wouldn't want them not posted.

Jury's still out on whether Chickweed is in any print newspaper any more. I usually grab a paper whenever I travel, and it's never there. It may just be in a few papers' online versions at this point.
