If you don't have a character wearing a placard that says "Dethany from 'On the Fastrack'" then I don't know what to tell you.

Death Ray posted:Dethany is definitely going in, but I'm not sure what you mean about a "sign"...?  It became a running joke here.

What about the characters from "Intelligent Life" or "Take it from the Tinkersons"? Or, God helps us, "Arlo and Janis"?

Death Ray posted:Dethany is definitely going in, but I'm not sure what you mean about a "sign"...? Every time Dethany is guesting in another strip she always has the little narrator box pointing out who the hell she is. In my mind that translated to an image of her carrying around a picket sign that just says "Deathany from On the Fast Track" and an arrow pointing to her.

A bit clueless but seems to mean well and isn't a colossal rear end in a top hat. Considering how I've hated every other character in the strips I've read am i right in thinking that the writer wanted me to hate Tiffany and failed miserably? That's the only reason I can think of for the strip producing a character I like. Nyeehg fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Jan 26, 2019 |

See, Tiffany is bad because she likes fashion and make-up and is willing to openly go after what she wants and was a popular girl in high school. But mostly that last one, because nobody in this comic is allowed to meaningfully move past high school.

What kills me about the Luann I've read is that - well, let's do a comparison. Luann: received a gift from her brother (I think it was her brother) for xmas that was "a free coupon for a cool time with me for [x] minutes" and it was obvious that he'd intended it to be like, them going to the movies and having fun. She instead turned it into [x] minutes of labor as they cleaned her room. ... Which was her gift to her dad. For xmas. "For xmas I will clean my room." A college student saying that! Which is to say, the titular character of the strip is obnoxiously rude and bland. (One time she admitted she'd never seen any musicals! None!) Tiffany: Smart enough to realize when a MLM Lingerie scam was being pulled on people and acted to stop that. Was also so depressed she'd (gasp) gained weight - and she was depressed because she didn't have any real friends despite being pretty and obviously pretty fabulous. (Shout-out to Luann for insulting her behind her back for being fat and joking that she'd feel better if she had a gangbang with the football team) She's been dealing with her father going out with a malicious girlfriend - pretty maturely, I'd think, given how obnoxiously repellent Ann Eiffel is - and upon one hell of an insult (Ann cutting up her card and then coaxing Tiffany's Dad to stop giving her an allowance - again! I'm still mad at this because Tiff's Dad should have talked to her about that and set limits and y'know acted like an adult instead of that insulting and humiliating display of power.) ...and Tiffany deals with this by deciding to earn more money and ask for a raise. In conclusion:

We are definitely supposed to think of the abuse and humiliation Tiff is currently suffering at the hands of Ann Eiffel as deserved. We're supposed to hate Eiffel more, since she's evil enough to do actual crimes and she also attacks the "good" characters, but in the meantime, we are supposed to be like, "gently caress yeah! That bitch Tiffany is learning a lesson now!" You can tell because Bernice, a "good" and "sensible" character, thinks it's pretty rad what Ann is doing to this person she claims is her friend.

Death Ray, you got room for a chain-smoking duck with an earwig fixation? Sally Forth  Skippy (September 11, 1931)  Peanuts (January 28, 1972)  Funky Winkerbean  Aw Crap, He Really Did Have A Heart Attack, Didn't He...  Rip Haywire  Out Our Way (November 30-December 2, 1931)    Thimble Theater (August 21, 1935)  Dok's Dippy Duck wears his civic pride on his non-existent sleeve. (May 21-23, 1923)   I'm having a little trouble getting a fix on what the Seven League Club is supposed to be without reading lots and lots of old newspapers from front to back (oh the horror! please protect me from all the history!). It appears to be a sort of booster club to brighten up the city in advance of a visit from President Harding. It's named after seven-league boots of European fairy tales.  (Dok Hager's front page cartoon, May 21, 1923) Historical spoiler alert: Harding made his trip to Washington state in July as part of a cross-country "Voyage of Understanding", but he didn't get much farther than that.

EasyEW posted:Thimble Theater (August 21, 1935) Ooo, Toar would be good I think. Distinctively grotesque character design, classic mostly forgotten character from a big franchise who never got a big break outside the comics, and the whole giant invincible stupid brute who only knows childish insults bit would be a nice fit for a post apocalyptic wasteland.

Death Ray, I don't recall whether Snuffy Smith or Happy Hooligan have turned up before, but they seem like they'd fit in a refugee camp. Also, the kids from Miss Peach would be pretty grotesque, with their shrunken bodies and flounder eyes.

Samovar posted:Maybe also have Gilchrist Nancy being destroyed by new, better Nancy? David Lynch's Angriest Dog In The World would be good as a detail somewhere. Death Ray, if you're already scraping the bottom, I'm gonna throw some German comics out there: Werner  Not a daily strip, more of a book character, but guaranteed to be recognized by any German readers you may have. Nick Knatterton  1950's parody of private detective pulp and comics in general. Used to be posted here at least two or three threads ago, I think by Hamiltonian Bicycle. The chin was always emphasized in the strips. Ottiphants   The mascot of an extremely famous German comedian turned comic strip. This is one of the few legit daily strips I can think of. Always meant to start posting it, actually, but I can never find an archive. Plus whenever I do find strips I remember it's actually pretty bad. Stulli the Sandwich  Regular feature in Titanic, a well known satirical magazine. The gag is the same in every strip: Stulli desperately wants to be eaten, but people invariably vomit upon hearing he's filled with margarine and Fleischsalat. Didi & Stulle  My personal favourite for inclusion. Used to be a weekly magazine feature, is now cancelled, and is another one I toyed around with the thought of posting until I realized it's utterly intranslatable.

Oh and here's one from Spain, Mortadelo y Filemon Good opportunity for visual gags; there were always panels where Mortadelo (in black) would appear in "disguise" as something like a fire hydrant or a scooter, but keeping the distinctive head, nose and glasses. Can't find any good examples though. Actually if you're willing to go European you can mine some very rich veins indeed. Smurfs as diminutive blue mutants.

I lost interest in Weapon Brown back when it was still new-ish; it had potential but wasted it being over-the-top edgy and relying way too much on references to try to make you like it. But that was several years ago, so I figured I'd give it a fair try and looked at some random pages to see if it got better, and...nope. It's exactly what I remembered it being. Except with more objectification of women, and also whatever the gently caress this is. But mostly just such non-stop grimdark and ultraviolence that it's impossible to care about any of it. It just kept getting cringier the further I went until I couldn't take it anymore. On that note, here's my regular batch of comics which are funny-bad instead of cringy-bad. 2012 Spiderman        The Amazing Spiderman  Dick Tracy  Locher Tracy  Origins of the Sunday Comics

For cameos to put in WB, French comic Invincible could be fun: Also the Swedish comic Pyton that I used to translate and post could be neat:       I Kickstarted the first collection of WB and enjoyed it at the time, but now when I revisit it I mostly get caught up on the same things Haifisch mentions. Here's hoping your portrayal of women improves in the new material, at least.
