Bloody hell, I admire Willie's restraint. My blood is boiling just reading this, and he's managing to keep his cool through that.

Benly posted:I dunno. I feel like it's not incredibly awful, just pretty mediocre, but it feels worse than it is because we have higher expectations of a zombie strip being taken over by a younger writer now that Olivia Jaimes has set the bar so high. Haifisch posted:2012 Spiderman F Minus  I would not be surprised at all to find a show like this actually exists on one of the Discovery Communication channels. Macanudo  I guess the joke is the whale is sick of people making that joke when introducing themselves to it? Meh. Pretty clever, but I don't think he pulled it off particularly well.

I feel like if I'd personally kicked the poo poo out of Osama bin Laden, bringing him to justice, then spent an hour or so successfully avoiding the police then I'd be so pumped full of adrenaline and invulnerability juice I would also find it hard to empathise with anyone not on my high.

Wait, so there isn't a man in the house? Then who was the guy at the funeral? Cheer Up Boss Dharma  This is a very out of date reference but then that's the kind of reference men their age would make.

Well, since someone asked me to post an intro: About The Princess Planet The Princess Planet is a world where every girl is a princess and fairy tales mix with space operas. Princess Christi ditches her lavish lifestyle for awesome adventures with her reluctant Snowman companion. She also finds time to hang out with her princess friends and dish about boys or one up each other’s fantastic pets. In contrast to his daughter’s adventures, the King is stuck in his throne room dealing with annoying or stupid people, often suggesting new ideas for his flag (which is currently a pile of grass eating a sandwich). The strip features an ensemble of other characters who pop in and out from week to week. The author, Brian McLachlan, is a Toronto native who's been doing writing, art, and cartooning through the newspaper industry for over a decade. He's worked on a variety of other comic projects besides the Princess Planet, including a regular strip in Tribe, the graphic novel No Dead Time, and even some stuff for Nickelodeon and The New Yorker. On the webcomics side, he's recently worked with Ryan North on Machine of Death and To Be Or Not to Be. I actually found this comic through North's old Truth and Beauty Bombs forums. The princess started as a webcomic, but was picked up for print format fairly early on, by a few places (including the Toronto Star). There was a bit of a format change shortly before this happened, as McLachlan started doing weekly strips as well, and moved from 2x3 to 3x2 sundays. I'm going to skip forward a bit to roughly when it got picked up by papers. TPP sometimes does theme weeks, so we'll start with some arctic goofs. February 20th, 2006  February 21st, 2006  February 22nd, 2006

I think the idea is that he's just assuming that she's a single mom because racism.

I think the idea is that he's just assuming that she's a single mom because racism. That's what I got too which made the funeral guy's presence ironic since up until then we didn't know what the man situation was because the strip hadn't explained it yet. So it seemed like on top of everything else the cop's racist assumption was dead wrong. I may have been overthinking it.

No, that part is clear, the confusing part (for me) is that in the funeral scene in her head, there's an older man standing next to her consoling her. I don't know who the man is, it's not their father.

The sentiment is nice but honestly I'm not surprised Kadia is zoned out at this point, she's gotten a lot of info to process and 'hey! new school! new friends!' isn't helping.

PetraCore posted:Basically! I can appreciate Heloise's intentions while also being like 'girl back off and give her some breathing and/or hurling room.' This is about where I am. I'm sure Heloise means well, but her friend just lost EVERYTHING and Heloise is responsible for that, even if she was defending herself and even if she was justified. Kadia is probably having some complicated feelings right now. She needs, like, a minute to process some things. A good minute.

I'm really not sure what the joke is here. Is it supposed to be that Spock's a Vulcan, not a Vegan? Or is the joke the idea of a character from the future being "ahead of his time" (even if he's from 50-year-old media)? And why is Andy Capp doing jokes that belong in Intelligent Life, anyway? Can we look forward to strips where Skip gets drunk and gets in a fistfight with Gwen?

(They've never used the term vegan in the show but he'd probably qualify.)

Rex Morgan is Wilson and Beatty. Wilson left in 2016, so the 4/18 date should narrow it down a lot. Edit: sorry I looked closer and that actually says Baretto, which indicates Judge Parker. Same Wilson of course. Scarodactyl fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Jan 24, 2019 |
