I now believe that Holbrook has some sort of curse placed on him where at least one of his fictional characters has to be pregnant at all times.EasyEW posted:Thimble Theater (August 5, 1935) Thimble Theater is one of the only strips I frequently skip, but this one's great. Evil Mastermind posted:Working Daze references a comic nobody remembers. From a ways back but what is it referencing? A+ StrixNebulosa posted:Heathcliff Old and New -- is it just me, or is old Heathcliff hitting a similar note of being weird and off-beat? Not as surreal, but it seems like the sense of humor is the same. I had some very old collection books lying around my grandparents' house when I was a kid, and yes, absolutely. It was always very distinct from, e.g., Garfield. Just Dan Again posted:I'd always thought that the idea of ankles being scandalous was some kind of hyperbole.

I won't subject you to seeing the most recent Intelligent Life strip by quoting it, but the real joke is that the presumed protagonist would ever consider himself to be too old for anything.Pastry of the Year posted:Arlo and Janis Has Arlo and Janis ever been bad? Also I'm really enjoying Surgeon's Tales. One of the coolest parts of this thread is seeing the regional comics I'd never know existed otherwise. Thanks to you who take the time to translate and post those! Even the sexist pig man I guess.

Zereth posted:I feel like we missed a few strips, what is this conversation about? We had a little bit of a time skip between the reveal she is pregnant in the office and her complaining about the father being an MIA deadbeat on their walk. It seemed like there was a strip or two missing, but I think we're just expected to figure out that the artist skipped us from A to C because B wasn't necessary or interesting (or he couldn't get a gag out of, "hey want to go for a walk and talk about it?")

It probably says something that people are so unused to subtly that a comic strip that doesn't go "WOW, SHE'S PREGNANT. LET'S MAKE EVERY CHARACTER REPEATEDLY COMMENT THAT SHE'S PREGNANT SO YOU DON'T MISS IT." confuses people slightly.

I refuse to accept any character as pregnant unless they're depicted wearing an "I'm with stupid" t-shirt with the arrow pointing down.

Well, let me see if I can remember off the top of my head: Mark took Cherry and Rusty to Mexico for a vacation. They are staying at a resort without electricity or running water for some reason. They helped save a whale. Rusty met a girl on the plane who is staying at the same place. They decided to start hanging out together. Mark and Rusty went to meet Mark's archaeologist friend Howard Carter (derp). Rusty and the girl witnessed one of his assistants apparently stealing relics and giving it to someone. It seems they also replaced the relics with fakes to fool Carter. Rusty and the girl got a ride with an undercover cop, posing as a driver of a weird van/50s-car hybrid who likes to take naps named Jose. He took them to Santa Poco for Three Amigos references. He called another undercover cop to follow the kids and "get them out of the way" (we were supposed to think this meant kill them when it wasn't what was meant at all it was a clever ruse!) so they can continue their investigation into the relic stealing thing. This cop is disguised as a biker. He approaches the kids and they run away because he looks like a scary biker. He chases them through the streets on a big noisy motorcycle because that will calm things down. The kids get away by going through a hole in a wall in a dead-end alley. At some point they found the assistant stealing relics and planted Rusty's phone in his pack which they tracked with an app on the girl's phone (I am not sure if this happened at this point or earlier). They follow the guy. The biker cop follows them, and falls into someone's house, where he talks to them, eats a churro, and jumps out the window after giving the people there a bunch of money he just had on him to pay the damage. Biker cop catches up with the kids as they reach the house where the assistant is trading relics with criminals. The crooks discover the kids followed him here when Rusty's phone rings because Cherry called to check on him. Meanwhile, Jose the other undercover cop who likes naps tells Mark what's going on. Mark is concerned. The biker cop calls as they are talking and tells them the kids might be in trouble, so they rush in Jose's vancar back to Santa Poco. They get there just as the kids are being lured into the hideout, and now Mark is running up to the door, where it seems he has recognized someone.

Powered Descent posted:I was lukewarm on this strip when you started posting it, but lately it's been winning me over. These are great. Yeah starting from the one where he laughs at his brother trying to override their mom's orders I think it's really showing the good character touch. I do wonder though if Jamal couldn't easily look his age if someone erased his top-of-cheek and forehead wrinkles in Paint. Or closer to "generic kid age" anyway since his size and body do say "elementary school" but the text says "middle school (just before puberty)."

I'll appreciate the twist if Holbrook has the guts to kill the mouse villain off for good. I feel like he'd try a fake-out.

As big as Holbrook's casts get, he rarely if ever kills characters off -- he just phases them out. At the most, I think we'll get an inconclusive "death" that leaves the door open for him to bring Angelique back if he feels like it.
