Thank you for bringing Jamal here - it is amazing. Speaking only for myself, I sure wouldn't mind having them spoilered again, though, just to allow time to ready myself before looking at them. These ones are way past trigger and full on into the stuff that comes after triggers - which is not intended by me to diminish the strip in any way.

Yeah, I thought about it and went back to using them, for the next couple of days at least. It looks weird at the end there without it.

drat, Gene just going for the throat there. One thing I think that A&J does really well is expressions, especially since they're only a couple lines and a half circle or two, but they manage to be incredibly telling.

Also, Jamal

I moused over a spoiler so I knew it was coming, but drat.

The art is horrible and off-putting, but the writing is actually good so it wound up winning me over. I think that's true of a lot of people here.

That's what happened with me. As my avatar notes, at some point the art wrapped around from bad to charming for me.

Oh, and what is up with that On The Fastrack?

It was a good rule that I enjoyed.

Can the fact that there are spoilers be a spoiler?

For a daily strip I say yes.

e: hmm. I think I am drawn to this stuff by it's episodic nature.

I still don't care for Reply All. The writing is clever only in a banal capacity, like a coworker remark that makes you smile out of polite reflex. I'll grant that the humor is better than the artwork, but that isn't saying much.

Cicadalek: May 8, 2006; Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another

The guy next door is cheating on his GF with the new neighbor. The walls are thin so Taku can hear the guy telling her to hide in the closet when his GF shows up. So he starts thumping on the wall so that the GF's attention will be drawn to the closet.

immaturity wouldn't be a problem if Dustin just enjoyed playing with bubbles in his spare time

the problem is he is too immature to get a real job and is reliant on his dad to support him

I'm loving A Problem Like Jamal and refuse to read ahead although I'm losing my poo poo waiting for it to be posted.

The only thing I don't like about it is that my brain keeps calling it "Herb & Jamal" because that's been familiar to me for years, and I don't think I could come up with two comics more different in tone.
