She learned some kind of lesson after being - whatever Holbrook thinks this comeuppances was - by the main cast? I can't tell if the predator intruder messed up their plan or if this is how it was planned from the start. But I'm realizing too late Holbrook didn't think of one.

They were planning on scaring her using fake predators but a real predator showed up and did the work for them. I know that murdering is illegal, but I can't imagine kidnapping and torture are legal either. But then again the heroes didn't kill the person causing their problems so that makes them the heroes!

Scarodactyl posted:Yeah, no. Reading kevin and kell makes me feel like reading brother rock. The whole thing feels like an exercise in grooming, trying to sneak his horrible fetishes into a supposedly innocent context to normalize them. I read k&k when I was a kid, and honestly I feel kind of violated by that. I understand the confusion since we've gone deep into 9CL, Gilchrist, Rose is Rose, Dana Simpson, etc., but sometimes a long-running comic about predators and prey is just a comic about predators and prey. There will never be a discovery of Holbrook fetish porn exposing him as a creeper, because I honestly believe he's not a creeper. I put him on the Charles Boyce end of the spectrum - harmless, if not strange. Y'all are looking for something that isn't there.

I put him on the Charles Boyce end of the spectrum - harmless, if not strange. Y'all are looking for something that isn't there. There's absolutely elements of Holbrook's fetishes present in his comics. I don't think a week has passed in the previous two years without a pregnant woman in one of his strips--I think it's pretty obvious Holbrook likes drawing and thinking about pregnant women. And then there's whatever the gently caress is going on with Kevin & Kell--like X-Men before it, he uses a binary dichotomy to stand in for a variety of social issues (with mixed results) but then inside of that "metaphor" there's a bunch of common fetish stuff, like sub/dom and transformation and vore present on the sidelines that might be accidental or completely intentional. Basically Holbrook presents a bunch of fetish poo poo in a non-sexual context, which has been a thing in comic books/comic strips for... ages. And yeah, it normalizes it, but wether or not that sort of stuff should be normalized is a discussion for not this thread, I think. I will say, as someone who is friends with someone who was VERY deep into the furry art scene in the 90's/early 00's (though you'd never guess it by looking at her) that there are way more fetish/furry artists working in newspaper comics today than you would think. Most of them keep it out of their strips, of course, or do it subtly--for instance, there's a long-running strip that is currently written and drawn by former fetish artists that you'd never guess in a million years.

If he was into creepy fetish porn we'd know it because he'd be drawing it blatantly and having his characters explain it in detail. He doesn't understand the concept of subtext. That's why his comics make no goddamn sense. A normal person reads the subtext but Holbrook did not intend that subtext and is not aware of it. If he'd intended it then it would be repeatedly and explicitly spelled out.

While I initially had mixed feelings about the reveal in Jamal the way that he's handled it since has been great. He got some pretty good jokes in while discussing a very serious topic, and of course this strip: Actually made me laugh out loud. The Bloop posted:Some peoples fetish is trying to identify other peoples fetishes from limited and ambiguous evidence, apparently Don't make me ask my friend about Holbrook because I have a feeling she'll end up pulling out a signed naked print of Kell and I don't want/need to see that.

Working Daze, on the other hand, is horny as gently caress.

Holbrook definately has a pregnancy fetish. Growing up we use to call the crust of a pizza after you eat the pizza part "pizza bones". They kind of look like ribs!
