idonotlikepeas posted:This one is interesting, because it's strictly better without the caption. The absurdity of the situation already communicates the joke, and by explaining it along the bottom the artist let the air out of it. I've noticed that taking the captions off of the Closer to Home comics amplifies the Far Side resemblance even more, I was tempted to pull the captions off of the rest of them but for posting's sake I'll leave them attached. It's not a work day so I won't post one from the book, but searching for the origins of the comic I found a site with a very angry writeup on what the author hates most about the comic: A Very Bad Comic Strip: John McPherson’s Close To Home One thing to note is how the art has changed over time. The author gives a few examples of duplicate comics... look at these two:  What the hell is going on with that dude's entire body?

I have a similar painting saved from another Spider man comic. It's got a rich canon.

Pulling the captions definitely makes some of them feel a lot like Far Side, but I'm also getting a lot of Ballard Street weirdness off some of them. And holy hell, that guy is angry about newspaper comic strips.

If I had never seen this strip before I could not tell you which was the newer one. They're both so terrible, but like, the people got less visually interesting and their facial expressions more bland. The perspective got slightly better as long as you ignore the garage interior and the angle of the roof.

StrixNebulosa posted:Outbursts of Everett True No man should receive a dollar unless that dollar has been fairly earned. Every dollar received should represent a dollar’s worth of service rendered — not gambling in stocks, but service rendered. The really big fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mere fact of its size acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small means. Therefore, I believe in a graduated income tax on big fortunes, and in another tax which is far more easily collected and far more effective — a graduated inheritance tax on big fortunes, properly safeguarded against evasion, and increasing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate. The people of the United States suffer from periodical financial panics to a degree substantially unknown to the other nations, which approach us in financial strength. There is no reason why we should suffer what they escape. It is of profound importance that our financial system should be promptly investigated, and so thoroughly and effectively revised as to make it certain that hereafter our currency will no longer fail at critical times to meet our needs. -Theodore Roosevelt, 1910

Discendo Vox posted:Has anyone discussed the possibility that Bolling reads the thread? No, because these are reruns from several years ago, before this thread started posting those old comics. Bolling is just an educated guy who knows a lot about comics history. I died a little on the inside reading another BSS thread and seeing that people who claimed to know a lot about comics history had apparently never heard of Robert Crumb. Johnny Aztec posted:I keep saying, we need to dig that man up. Dude was alright. That's what compromise candidates used to look like in this country. Bobbie Wickham posted:Pro-tip: imagine the lobster's lines being said by Danny DeVito. Holy crap, Sherman's Lagoon is like instantly on my top 10 now. Probably just number 10, but still. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  I considered using a less oblique reference but I didn't want to give anybody the wrong idea.
