Lurdiak posted:Tell me more. The concept was all I can remember from third grade, but luckily Wikipedia is here to save us quote:Mrs. Jane Tabby can't explain why her four precious kittens were born with wings, but gladly she's grateful that they are able to use their flying skills to soar away from the dangerous city slums where they were born. However, once the kittens escape the big city, they learn that country life can be just as difficult! In closing, the large novel being read by that Zelda character is clearly a compilation of Le Guin's magnum opus, the Catwings mythos consisting of "Catwings," "Catwings Return," "Wonderful Alexander and the Catwings," and "Jane On Her Own: A Catwings Tale"

loquacius posted:Earthsea, much like Hitchhiker's Guide, is one of those trilogies that have five books in them Huh, you're right. Weird, I never even heard of those last two and I've read those books more than a dozen times loquacius posted:My childhood memories are that the first Earthsea book was really good and they got weird after that That is very much accurate. The later two books are still pretty good, but A Wizard of Earthsea is one of my all-time favorite fantasy novels. Shame that the movie adaptation sucked sooooooooooo much

The Earthsea cycle is the original trilogy, Tehanu, The Other Wind, and a collection of short stories called Tales from Earthsea. Her books in the Hanish cycle are really good too: Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed etc. Welp, everything I have read from her ranges from really good to amazing.

The Hanish cycle is miles better than Earthsea and I'm making the disappointed face of the-adult-who-is-above-childrens-things at all of you. (But for people who enjoy YA as a genre, she has a newer series called Annals of the Western Shore that's also pretty great)

You forgot "Coming of Age in Karhide", a short story that goes into very specific detail how the genitals of those people in Left Hand of Darkness work. Le Guin is awesome as heck but she's also a real weirdo.

Considering how often ball crushing (among other things) comes up in Stephen King works, it seems like being something of a weirdo is required to be good at writing.

By all means, I just thought it was funny how people became fixated on the candles. In the artist's defense though, the deadlines is pretty heavy and few cartoonists manages to build up buffer strips. At least one cartoonist suffered a nervous breakdown because of the workload and had to go therapy.

My favorite comic here is Zelda. Is like brain candy to clean the feel of the other comics. I can't read this thread for long periods of time because how dense stupid are some comics. (But all the people here is nice, so thanks for posting!).

Tei posted:None of the Dragons of Pern books is so thick, so she must be using the cover to hide inside a Edgar Rice Burroughs novel. I loved the first book but it all quickly went downhill for me. Things I had trouble dealing with: Underdog heroes that ride teleporting dragons that can travel in time and solve problems by just going back in time and fixing them before it happens The whole "thread" threat is never really elaborated on. I expected something sinister behind it or for the threads to actually develop on the planet with an infestation theme but it never goes anywhere. They probably killed Fax way too soon because the books keep referencing him as the biggest bastard that ever lived but we only get a glimpse of it before they kill him off. A full book with him as the major villain would have been neat The final book features neither dragons, riders nor Pern. Just a horse girl tending horses in space

I can't figure out if this is supposed to be pro- or anti-bitcoin. It can't be a coincidence that bitcoin is represented by "easily broken thing filled with air" in every frame.

I'd say it's definitely pro-bitcoin. I mean, the last panel is that outside of the bubble is a blasted landscape while inside is still green and able to support life.

This guy's pretty clearly part of the Daily Stormer's posse, after I read their style guide. His comics vacillate between pop culture, specifically targeting gamers, to encourage sharing, right wing "jokes" and really, really explicit racism. Also, you know, gab account, hatreon account, etc.
