Tiggum posted:Classical music. Oddly enough, I know this because it came up in Dick Tracy years ago when Tess made Dick go see a performance of some "longhair music". My Lovely Horse posted:"Long hair music" these days commonly means 60s hippie music, for obvious reasons, but prior to the 60s it was used for classical fans, since the style of the times was short, the composers had long hair, and it was similarly seen as the music of choice for intellectuals and subversive elements.

I looked up Heart of the City on wikipedia and discovered that the character's address is a specific historical apartment building in Philly which is right across the street from one of my dissertation advisors' homes where I semi-frequently go for dinner, so if you decide to post it, I'm sure I'll eventually show up in it, which would be a real treat.

Ed is right to skip "wellness" events since they are nothing more than scams by companies to increase individuals' insurance premiums.

Candorville has been posted on and off here a few times and it normally generates some good discussions. Darrin Bell (also a political cartoonist) has managed to create a mouthpiece whose opinions I agree with mostly, but who I still can't loving stand. Bell can't help but make issues all about him, and he/his stand-in have some weird hang-ups with women (the main character is carrying a printer for his childhood best friend that Bell always draws in provocative poses.) Plus he has a lovely little kid that speaks with a thpeech impwediment. And god hep us if there's a high-profile death in the news, because then we get a week of Darrin Bell's stand-in talking to the dead person on a train. What I'm saying is - Candorville sucks, so post Candorville. At least we'll get more Clyde:  BCN  Phoebe   Wallace  Curtis

Woebin posted:To be honest I've been feeling the same way when I've posted Pyton to no response. I mean, not complaining about it, just saying that I understand the feeling. It comes up reasonably often, but people tend not to comment super often on good comics. Anyways, I always like Pyton, and I'm digging this Star Wars comic, keep 'em up. Darthemed posted:And we've started looping on GoComics' Geech supply, so I'll be trying out a few replacements. If there's any you'd particularly like to see stay or go, speak up. I'm excited to see Boondocks. I remember mostly liking Candorville, but I think I mostly liked Clyde and the rest was very hit or miss. Unless there's something to Gray Matter, I'd skip it, we already have plenty of boomer-wank.

I want to see more Heart of the City, I used to like it as a teen and it's interesting to see the characters have advanced in age a bit. Also yesterday was a pretty relatable depiction of a panic attack.

Modesty Blaise  StrixNebulosa posted:As disgusting as 9CL and the rest are, they don't approach the rage-inducing garbage that is Dilbert. Like, Dilbert is outright offensive and I really don't want to put up with that in my funny papers. I'm here to be mad at Luann, not so incandescent with rage I can't see straight. At least Dilbert makes me chuckle, occasionally. I can't say the same about any of the others I mentioned.

What's up, Fire Emblem continues to devour most of the attention span I use for comics so here's yesterday's comics too: Garfield   Heathcliff   Overboard   Monty   As far as the thread goes: Pyton and The Bus 2 own, thanks for posting it. I agree with the sentiment of Candorville sucking so post that one. That said I want to know what the gently caress that anime one is about so I vote In Security

Luxrage posted:I feel like I'll be the only vote for this but I remember liking Herb and Jamaal when I read it in papers. That one gets my vote. I'm voting for it because for the longest time it was considered the worst of the worst in comics to the point where people posting "Oh Baby" would lead to people posting Herb and Jamaal in retaliation. Heck, some goon changed their avatar to Herb and chose the title "Brinkmanship" because of this thread back in the day, and I think they still have that avatar? Anyway, in the current climate of having to deal with way worse stuff like modern Luann, I think Herb and Jamaal will be positively delightful.

People should feel appreciated for the effort they put in posting, so I'll just add that I enjoy Pickles, Zits, Zippy, and especially Monty. They aren't the all-stars but I find them enjoyable and charming in their own way. Monty in particular is real good at depicting a group of nerdy friends in a way that's not just pop culture references.

While we're doing an appreciation festival, I just want to give a shout out to everyone who posts edits. Even if they sometimes go by without a comment, edits are still one of the greatest things about this thread. There may be other places on the Internet that discuss our favorite dying art form, but I don't know of anyone else who rips and mangles them and makes new humor out of them the way that we do. Everyone who makes and posts them, I salute you.
