I like A Problem Like Jamal The faces are slightly weird but whatever, I got used to them. I'm interested to see where it goes, the plots and jokes so far have been pretty solid and are a perspective I certainly don't get myself, and Curtiss doesn't really try. It's less hamfisted than Baldo, which is the only other comic I can think of off the top of my head that focuses at all on racial issues.

EDIT: I've also wondered if the "old man faces" are an intentional artistic decision by Bondia, referencing how often black and brown children are "aged up" by the media and law enforcement, 12-year old children like Tamir Rice being referred to as if they were grown men, and treated like we should fear them like you would an adult, etc. Vargo fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Jan 11, 2019 |

 Ha ha! The neighbors totally ratted them out!  TJ found it so easy to snow the bureaucrats when he burned down his food truck for the insurance money. This is a completely new experience for him!

But yeah, adding my voice to say that I am enjoying A Problem Like Jamal.

Put me down as another one who likes Jamal and I'm not even seriously complaining about the art, it's just well-meaning ribbing, although you'd think he'd realize that giving the kid a stache in that Sunday strip just draws attention to it.

Not trying to defend Luann at all, but are employees of "building permits" allowed to just walk in to your house and inspect the place when you open the door? I assume that since police need a warrant to enter your home, some random person can't just walk in and say they are from "building permits" like Bev did.
