Everybody who gives a poo poo about how coelacanth is pronounced correctly raise their hands. Everybody who raised their hands is Pat.

Only thing I dislike about Beef is how he was willing to let a serial murderer live , but that was more of Onstad writing himself into a corner and needing an out.

Yeah, I don’t get how letting him live is the best idea because he wouldn’t kill you after you save his life. Because, you know, hed have a hard time killing you if his asschecks and brain were stabbed to death.

I think the entirety of the joke there is that Beef can't picture Ray being able to successfully ice a dude and cover it up. Later strips would of course establish that Ray could probably bludgeon the situation into resolution with double handfuls of hundred-dollar bills, but early Ray would be a terrible murderer.

Yeah, beef's point wasn't "killing him would be bad", it was "nobody here has the temperament to straight up kill a dude, least of all Ray, so it is for that reason a more bad idea than letting him live"

ryonguy posted:It was a hardcover "special edition". However, they never made another black and white HC, which vexes me because there's no reason not to. There's a color edition, but gently caress buying color comics that were originally published in black and white because they always look like rear end since they were drawn and laid out specifically with the lack of color in mind. I'm happy with my signed softcover though. For what it's worth, Bone actually looks really, really nice in color, and I honestly think I prefer it over the B&W even if it's not strictly how it was "originally intended."

I don't have the US comic fan gene that makes me think something isn't complete unless its colored.   Some dull muddy colors a la the Moebius reissues, and blush that doesn't exist in the original. Minor nitpicks, and it doesn't look bad, but it adds nothing.

Like, I feel like you'd have to be a huge weirdo to seriously go out of your way to get an out-of-print omnibus over the in-print one because of this; the B&W looks really nice, and the color also looks really nice.  e: I actually really, really like the watercolor-style shading in the color version, so saying it adds nothing isn't quite true, either.

The only time I really gave a poo poo about a comic being (re)colorized was that terrible recolor job for The Killing Joke. Brian Bolland doing it himself makes it somehow worse.

You can just say you prefer colored comics to black and white comics, it's okay. Calling me a huge weirdo for preferring the original published work over a mediocre cash-grab paint-over is a bit of a reach.

That is a pretty good color job. There have been way way way worse jobs been done. This isnt MSPAINT point and fill.

Black-and-white comics that aren’t simple stick figure sketches are visually cluttered and annoying, always.

First panel, second row. I completely blew past it earlier myself (and had never caught it before) (Love Ray's expression of "mild surprise" when the gun is introduced)

People don't always get that beef's mind works WAY faster than his demeanor would indicate. It's only really spelled out a small handful of times (the beginning of the GOF arc has one, as well as "brisket36")
