God. Saying a quick thank you to my college roommate Tony who shamed the gently caress out of me for reading newspaper comics, online, like, out of institutional respect and inertia. Jesus christ those are bad.

I assume like all old people their concept of young people is at least a decade or two out of date, and he thinks everyone is still wearing early 2000's Vans

ToxicSlurpee posted:You're supposed to look at MM&O the same way you look at a horrible train crash. You definitely aren't enjoying it but you can't look away. Nonsense. Plenty of people like MM&O, because they identify with the characters. Losers with crippling social issues who abuse themselves and each other endlessly. Same reason people loved Seinfeld. MM&O is a cartoon Seinfeld.

I have always disliked humor that is aimed at mocking the powerless, mentally ill or stupid. Seinfeld was a group of broken people who reinforced each other's worst aspects. I hated it. I feel the same way about MM&O. I also hated Willy Loman on sight when I saw Death of a Salesman.

Same reason people loved Seinfeld. I enjoy MM&O because of how narrowly my friend circle avoided actually becoming that. Just a bunch of shitheaded teens who managed to eventually pull themselves together and become functional adults. Well, most of us anyway. One of the nicest and classiest girls I knew ended up getting hooked on heroin and dated a guy named Sleaze for about three years during which she got hep-C and picked facebook fights with other crusties over who was and wasn't a poser. She didn't get it together. So, yeah, there but for the grace of god go I, or something. MM&O is just that except fictional so I can laugh about it

What was the comic about the detective dressed in the trench coat and hat? He had a boss and he kissed him on the cheek before leaving on the case. It was a funny comic. There were 5 or 6 of them. Hopefully someone knows what I’m talking about Thanks

Seinfeld is great though because through the 9 seasons you go from liking the characters, to finding them a bit annoying, to feeling that they deserve a lot of the stuff that happens, to outright loathing them at the end. MM&O is just boring.

There's lots of shows where you're not really meant to like the characters, but instead find their shenanigans and frequent comeuppance amusing. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is one of the better ones if you don't like Seinfeld.

Yeah, I always read Death of a Salesman as a tragedy about the titular character's declining mental state. I only saw the dustin hoffman movie though. Which was interesting.

MM&O is great. I pity the people who find it boring because they are probably extremely boring themselves. It doesn't mock its characters but just reflects on their issues in often humorous manner. You would have to lack any reading comprehension to read "Meg's Depression" arc and think it somehow makes fun of people who suffer from depression. The stories are also quite obviously reflecting Hanselmann's own experiences and issues.

To be fair, the artist presumably isn't targeting "losers" as an audience, he is simply expressing himself in his art as someone else mentioned. That this expression is of interest to people dealing with similar issues (depression, drug use, addiction, etc.) is quite likely. The claim, however, that SA is some kind of pool of these people more than other places is debatable - we simply may be more tolerant of discussing such issues. An ability to discuss mental health issues openly is a Very Good Thing. So to the extent it encourages people to deal with their own issues in a positive way, great. But most stories I've plodded through simply seem vicious and the characters are frankly repulsive, not in any positive way at all.

I feel like (even though that's probably not your intent) you're saying a comic must have a positive message or story in order to be objectively good, and I don't think those who like MM&O would agree. That's just one of my many bad opinions though.

I hadn't heard of MM&O until tonight, I read everything that was on Vice and I really enjoyed it! Thanks goons! Is there more of it out there online? Definitely tempted to pick up a physical copy.

Why should the downtrodden be obligated to only create positive messages, rather than writing about their experiences and what they find funny?
