CannonFodder posted:I first starting reading this thread thanks to the SLUGGO IS LIT banner, and it took me a while to follow Modesty Blaise. At first it looked like some T&A cheesecake stuff with scratchy old art and too much talking, but then I discovered the real fan service: Modesty cracking skulls and wrecking fools. Same, and also Corto Maltese. If there was anyone I wouldn't be too concerned about disappearing in a pool of blood in a Chinese back alley, it's actual Rasputin. Just going to assume he can take care of himself at this point. This is the actual best thread on SA, thank you goons for your service.

Digamma-F-Wau posted:Actually Gately died/Gallagher took over back in 2001; in other words, this is Modern Heathcliff: The Early Years That's weird, because the comic is signed Gately and the humor is absolutely different from Gallagher's stuff. Maybe he had a lot of backlog?

I don't know, but it certainly wouldn't be the first time that a zombie strip has kept the previous author's name on it for a while after their death - especially when the new author is a family member.

Don't think I've ever really heard much about all the supposed drama surrounding FooB's writer beyond that it's been mentioned that a lot of the comic is dragging in stuff from her own life, but every strip I've bothered to read of the comic makes it feel like FooB's writer is the sort of person who feels that having kids and starting a family is what women are supposed to do but also loathes children and raising kids probably made both her and the kids miserable.

She once put a child out into the freezing Canadian winter and was going to leave them there until their guardian angel told them to let the child in.

I guess it's time to post this in the new thread.Lynn posted:Johnston: Yes, and when I had Aaron, he left me, and I didn’t know how to raise a child. And I wasn’t close to my parents, and because I was too proud to go to my parents for help, I mistreated that little baby. I didn’t want a baby. I wanted the stability that a family was supposed to represent. And a baby can’t say, “Thanks, Mom, for feeding me and keeping me warm and dry even though I screamed my lungs out all night last night.” And they want and they want and they want and they want. The only satisfaction you have is that they’re fed and they’re warm and they’re safe and they’re thriving, and they smile at you every once in a while. They’re not going to thank you until they’re 45 [laughter].

The fact that she loving laughs about it just makes this even worse. Reading Foob after reading that has been a whirlwind because literally every strip is "my children are awful!"

It's really amazing. I mean, anyone can see how horrible that is but now that I have two small children it's spectacularly horrible. I don't want to be that guy, but the amount of love and affection I get from my two year old, and the happy smiles that my 6 month old gives me when she sees me walk into a room are incredibly satisfying. Some people really should not have children and if you can't stand the first one you really should stop there. But she didn't.

Huxley posted:I mean, that's pretty clearly PPD. Yeah. We joke about it because she's a spectacularly lovely person to her family in so many other ways, but the baby thing could legitimately happen to anyone. Honestly she deserves some kudos for recognizing that she had a problem and seeking help with it.

For all her theatrics about becoming a different person after the clubhouse burning down, the only real difference between "Lottie" and "Charlotte" I can see is the cape. Which is pretty much on message 100% for her.

Yeah, for me the baby in the snow thing is the least of it, it's more about re-writing her grown son's life to match her fantasy instead of his reality.

Isn't that exactly why they stopped using the skull and crossbones as a poison symbol decades ago, and moved to things like Mr. Yuk? FrumpleOrz posted:Kevin & Kell I've only just started watching Bojack Horseman but it blows me away how much better that show does "species has characteristic" jokes. Maybe it's because they don't obsessively focus on creepily specific rules about how they're allowed to kill each other, maybe it's because there are also characters and storylines we care about... and even other jokes.
