What confuses me is that it's only Rudy and his girlfriend there. If Holbrook wanted this to be a game, then there should be more people controlling the other drones. Not to mention that if the rest of the drones are just stationary then you're stuck moving around slowly if you don't want to crash into the other drones. Seeing this reminds me how nonsensical this whole storyline was. The old lady at the bottom spilled her heart out to Mindy about what it's like being a woman comic creator who dealt with workplace misogyny back in the old days. Posters in SonOfStuckFunky who did more research on the subject pointed out that things weren't as grim for women who worked in the comic industry back then as Batiuk paints it out to be (Batiuk not even bothering to properly research his topics comes to no surprise). The story then ended with the old lady getting hired so she and Mindy could team up to make Wayback Wendy because rah rah feminism rah rah give Batiuk an award. So while this cover seems okay, the fact that Batiuk got two guys to make it completely undermines what he was going for. These sure are a pile of words stringed together to make it sound deeper than it actually is. gently caress you, Frazz.

Garfield - January 21, 2001 "Strix, this comic elicits only a faint smile and appears to be copy-pasted. Why is it noteworthy to you?" Because when I was a kid (I was around ten when this comic came out) my brother and I picked up on it immediately and began doing it to each other all the time. My parents were annoyed, we were delighted, and Garfield really struck a chord loud enough to make me remember it nearly twenty years later.

I dislike both Ellie and her husband who's name I don't remember, not!Anthony, so the petty part of my brain is trying to eat itself over this storyline. ...but honestly the person having the baby should get the most say and as long as she's planning on doing all her pre-natal appointments and assessing the risk of the delivery it's fine. I imagine hospital delivery is most necessary if there are risk factors going on that mean you might need immediate medical attention.

I want to read Dilbert and Pros and Cons. If someone wants to post them, they should be able to. Given the glut of comic strips here that are lovely for other various reasons - Luann, 9 Chickweed Lane, etc. - it's pointless to try and single something out. Just set the poster to ignore and move along. Modesty Blaise

There are countless lovely comics in here and I'm fine with seeing them, but I absolutely refuse to read something that's openly transphobic. gently caress Dilbert. e: You know what? I'm actually really bothered that you keep telling us to ignore the transphobic comic. I'm not putting them on ignore. I'm going to keep complaining. Discrimination has no place in the newspapers, or in this thread.

Funky Winkerbean was spoiler-tagged for the entirety of that arc, so something was done. Additionally, an insensitive depiction of an illness isn't the same as hate speech. Ignoring isn't the best solution, either - letting hate speech go unopposed is a great way for it to push its way into a community and then get more extreme.

9 CWL is made by a deranged pervert and Dustin is made by the most unbearable boomer imaginable and Kevin and Kell is only imaginable in the absence of a benign god but Dilbert is made by a bigot who makes his money preying on gullible and scared people, and if we're ok with a blanket ban on, say, Gilchrist poo poo-- which we should be-- then I'm going to put my foot down on Dilbert too. Post Pros and Cons if you absolutely must for now-- I don't like it and won't be looking at it unless directed to via report or whatever-- but Scott Adams is a bad and harmful person who makes a comic that is bad and boring when it isn't bad and harmful, and there's no place for him here. No more Dilbert and please don't make me type "posted Dilbert" into the little probation reason box.

That just means you can take the heat and you're nigh impossible to destroy.  But seriously, I get what you're saying. I'm normally on the side of , but... the comic strip thread should be a happy place. (It is for me, anyway. The old comic strip dance party video from back in the day never fails to make me smile.) If there are strips that are genuinely upsetting to people, then that's an entirely different category than the lousy strips that we love to hate. Absolutely, leave them out entirely.

Purely as a comic, Dilbert is probably one of the least consistently lovely out of the lovely ones. It had one transphobic arc recently, no doubt at all that's reflecting Adams' own views, but 95% of the time it isn't. Dustin is lovely every single day. I get banning Dilbert from the thread because it's a reminder that Scott Adams is doing his thing, but a lot of comics are cut from the same cloth and it seems they get a pass because their creators are staying just below the line with overt social media statements while regularly crossing it in the actual comics.

My Lovely Horse posted:Dustin is lovely for very close to the same reason. One Big Happy and Luann have entire characters set up to be nothing but strawmen for the creators' backwards views. Pros and Cons, well. Not a week passes where a Foob strip isn't called out for featuring emotional child abuse. P&C does get close.

I'm biased but frankly one transphobic arc is too many. Brother Rock is still out there on the internet if you want to read it, and so is Dilbert.
