Mikl posted:I appreciate Arlo and Janis. Not many comic strips make a not-so-subtle "yep, they are still loving" the punchline. I'm quite sure it's a daylight savings time joke. I spent the last few days going through Arlo and Janis on Gocomics. Although there's a good amount of sex related punch lines, a lot of jokes relate to the more benign and relatable quirks of each characters well developed personality. For example, one of Arlo's big traits is an obsession with counting daylight hours.

This whole straw thing is turning into OBAMA WANTS TO BAN THE GOOD LIGHTBULBS all over agian. Caphi posted:What's the joke? Is it wordplay on "refractio No, it's literally that Millennials and younger are moving away from plastic straws for environmental reasons and some restaurants are choosing not to offer them anymore. Whether this actually does any good or is just a way to show off how green you are without making any real changes is debatable, but we will never have the actual debate because to the addled elderly mind wanting more environmentally friendly straw options equals LIBERALS ARE MAKING IT ILLEGAL TO DRINK FROM A STRAW.  No, really. I know we're not supposed to agree with Tara Starr because she's a Bad Girl who is a Bad Influence on Luann and also Probably A Slut, but seriously. So?

One Big Happy can gently caress right off with this poo poo. I feel like it used to be more cute and less old-man-yells-at-cloud, but maybe that's selective memory. BCN  Phoebe  Wallace  Curtis

No, I had the exact same feeling. With some people it's like, at a certain age, a switch gets flipped to 'permanent trite and predictable assholery.'

So not even gonna bother to say you're proud of your kid? Okay then! PuddingKnight posted:why'd he even make a better looking one instead of helping more with hers See that would require having meaningful and positive interaction with your kid, and Lynn Johnston won't have any of that.

But this is Luann and she'll somehow be vindicated and I'll jump out a window Now the real question is how this stupid comic will vindicate Luann. It's possible Doug is a cheating jackass trying to date multiple ladies at the same time, but I feel like that would be too logical for this comic.

But this is Luann and she'll somehow be vindicated and I'll jump out a window Exactly. Here in the real world, a guy or girl on a dating app who messages multiple people is not inherently a scumbag. A guy or girl who goes on actual dates with multiple people until they decide to settle on one (or not) is not inherently a scumbag, as long as nobody involved is under the impression that the relationship is exclusive. But this is Luann. And a boy who would flirt with one girl and then also flirt with another girl is NOT a nice boy and NOT the kind of boy who should be dating our sweet baby daughter Luann! The fact that Luann is having misgivings is evidence that this is true. Go with your gut, Luann! The Evans Overlords will require justice! amigolupus posted:Now the real question is how this stupid comic will vindicate Luann. It's possible Doug is a cheating jackass trying to date multiple ladies at the same time, but I feel like that would be too logical for this comic. Perhaps he is trying to deceive young ladies. Perhaps he is an ugly nerdlinger. Perhaps he is a flashy smooth guy. Perhaps he is a foreign catfisher. Perhaps he is Les (who we know also likes to date multiple girls he meets on that app). But one certain truth is he will be Unsuitable.

Caphi posted:What's the joke? Is it wordplay on "refraction"? I think that's probably the intended joke but much like the Arlo and Janis that's been talked about the alternate political interpretation was probably just as deliberate. Wordplay is pretty bad though. "So that straw's ILLEGAL now!?" would have worked a lot better and offered a lot more plausible deniability. Julet Esqu posted:Exactly. Here in the real world, a guy or girl on a dating app who messages multiple people is not inherently a scumbag. In the real world a guy on a dating app who doesn't message multiple people at once is a guy who might as well not be using a dating app at all.

a) i'm okay with wasting four strips wanking off trudeau since it led directly to the phantom's laundry service b) luann needs to invest in cats c) good to see that doll in mark trail for the third or fourth time. really just a master of long-form storytelling, this james allen. d) here is, as far as i can find, the very first nekonaughey. i have spent some time thinking about sound effects and how to best translate them without it being to the detriment of the visual medium, which of course will necessarily constantly change because goddammit english takes up a lot of paper space comparatively. if you guys have feedback, let me know. i'm thinking about working my way through the catalogue to do full translations and dump them into imgur albums.

Yes! Yes yes yes! I don't think you need to translate sound effects if they're self-evident, like this one, but the title translations are great. Also oh Nekonaughey
