Plus there's something about the strip's art that makes me hate it on an instinctual, visceral level, like a mother bird recoiling at the smell of a chick that has been touched by a human
I hate the old stupid man's old stupid face. I hate the insecure old hag's insecurity and grotesque way of referring to the act of sexual intercourse

Oh sure, I read that after spending a couple minutes squinting at it and wondering why I couldn't find it. :argh:

I hate the way his moustache grows out of the sides of his nose. Look at a human face. See that bit between the nose and the mouth? That's where the moustache goes. That area, on Ben, is hairless and he has some kind of weird fungus sitting above it where no hair should be.

Except in panel one of that particular strip where his moustache temporarily appears in the correct position.

Pick any one-hit wonder you like and imagine if that song turned out to be so unbelievably emotionally resonant and meaningful to a very specific demographic with a very large amount of disposable income that instead of spending the rest of their career trying to get out from under the shadow of being that “I Ran”/“No Rain”/“Somebody That I Used to Know” band, they leaned into it super fuckin’ hard and managed to turn that one song's aesthetic into the foundation for an enormously successful multinational lifestyle brand that allowed them to shift into creative neutral and coast until the seas rise and boil and the only ones left listening are the tardigrades.

Footrot Flats owns and I'm glad you're posting it. It's a good (and quite funny) depiction of the realities of farming, warts and all. It was very popular in Denmark for some reason (shared farming traditions I guess?), and we had translations of all 27 collections which I read down at the local library whenever I got the chance to. Ball even made a little drawing dedicated to his Danish fans for the last translated collection but I can't find it online anywhere :(

Hardy Laurel always wanted to be a clown. This is why he was in a Broadway play.

He wanted to be a Broadway star, he hosed that up. Plan B was a clown themed supervillain. That's actually not a bad career plan in the Marvel Universe.

Clown-9 said he always wanted to be a clown, but apparently it's much easier to become an understudy to the lead in a Broadway play, so he did that instead of following his dream. In the meantime, he created a bunch of clown-related crime gadgets in his secret clown lair, and even a car with a duck head on it which he kept parked on the street outside his house hidden under a sheet. So, when his plan to injure the lead actor in the play and take his place failed, he was ready for his true calling: a clown crime wave. All he needed by then was a persona, and so using what is really a forced pun on the term "I'm on cloud 9" meaning "to be happy," he became "Clown-9," a crime clown.

You are absolutely correct that I meant Non Sequitur, not Bizarro. They were next to each other in the paper of my youth with thr same format, so I have then filed so close that the pages often get stuck together.

I totally agree. I am just indicating that I'm not surprised he's got a sense of self-importance big enough to think this was a good idea.
