Bimmi posted: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. *Dethany from On the Fast Track

Intelligent Life and Working Daze both try to appeal to nerds by using nerdy references, but those references never get beyond the initial reference. It's like Big Bang Theory, where someone says the name of a comic book character and that's the "joke". And yet people eat it up for some reason; they just hear the thing and actually go "oh man, I know that thing! I know what that is!" and somehow that's enough to make them laugh.

Johnny Walker posted:Rex Morgan MD Bunch of threads ago, but I think maybe this guy was first introduced as one of Rex's patients who was denying it but obviously getting beat up at home. In which case this is a multi-year callback and I have no idea why I even remember it.

In which case this is a multi-year callback and I have no idea why I even remember it. According to the Comics Curmudgeon, it was 4 years ago this month!  "Guys, I need to apologize for having not at all covered the current Rex Morgan storyline, which if I had to guess will probably play out as “Sometimes Men Are Also Victims Of Domestic Violence, Like This Guy Rex Went To High School With Whose Wife Tried To Kill Him By ‘Accidentally’ Shooting Him In The Head With A Nail Gun, And Also General Practitioners Are On The Front Line In Spotting Possible Warning Signs Of Abuse.” But of course I couldn’t pass over Rex’s fantastic facial expression in panel three, which is much less “Hmm, wonder how this’ll play out, trying to limit the victim’s social life is a classic abuser move” and more “Ugh, why do they always think we’re friends just because I talk to them in a professional context, I knew I should’ve been a forensic pathologist, you get plenty of peace and quiet down in the morgue.”""

Someone in one of the TFR let's read threads commented about how lovely patriot fiction would present some really basic gun fact or acronym as something that was only really known to those who were really elite or had special knowledge, it's way to stroke the ego of the reader, "you know this so you are better/more special than those around you" and making it a really basic thing hits more people, so you don't actually want to reference actually obscure stuff since that is counter-productive at a bigger scale. So this is just the same thing just focused on nerds instead of gun nuts/white racist Americans.

Johnny Walker posted:I have serious doubts Brooke's strip is in many papers by now. Whatever papers it remains in, it's due to inertia. Perhaps this will get the attention of some letter-writing readers and get him thrown off a few more papers. Thanks for taking care of these for me, JW! I'm back so I can take these again starting tomorrow. Also Intelligent Life sucks on an absolutely sickening level that I haven't seen since the Nazi-loving storyline of 9 Chickweed.

amishjosh posted:Probably just a princess gown they're repurposing to be Glinda. Perhaps that was the idea, but Greg just couldn't help himself:  It's totally a Glinda dress. Evil Mastermind posted:Which begs the question: why do they have a princess gown in the first place? It's supposed to be a cafe/art gallery. The Fuse has a stage where they could theoretically stage productions, so they probably have a bunch of costumes left over from all those productions in a back room somewhere. Never mind that the only productions they've staged since opening is a talent show with community volunteers who brought their own clothes and a lingerie party.
