Julet Esqu posted:I liked Cats. I'm not saying it's a good movie, but it won me over. I enjoyed my time at the movie theater. And as was mentioned earlier, it's a weird play. The movie was always going to be weird. Trying to make Cats a normal movie for a normal afternoon out was never going to work. They had to go balls to the wall bonkers, and I'm glad they did. I had a friend who said she enjoyed it, but also noted that she went early in the morning, smoked four joints before going in, and sat in the front row in the local theatre with recliner seats. I don't think I'd call it a ringing endorsement, but you know. FrumpleOrz posted:Frazz What?

I absolutely loved Cats with the caveat that I saw it in a private screening with a bunch of people who were explicitly there to experience the movie as if it were a showing of The Room.

Barnaby (May 29-June 2, 1942)  A rare example of war-time racist humor in Barnaby. Sorry! Dykes to Watch Out For    Another early instance of Bechdel's acute skepticism and worry about the long-term effects of the mainstreaming of queerness in American culture, in particular, the increase in conservatism among affluent young LGBTQIA+ and a corresponding sidelining of leftist engagement. This wasn't a brand new issue in the 80s-- decades prior, for instance, the poet Jack Spicer somewhat notoriously quit the Mattachine Society over what he saw as their blandly liberal and assimilationist politics. As we'll see if I keep posting these for--- uh, a long long time-- this strain of the strip gets complicated as Bechdel's characters age and she, as an artist, finds her critical star rising and her own position in life far removed from the strip's original working class roots. Within a decade the characters will be hobnobbing with upper-middle-class lawyers and bankers and the very invigorating note of inward-looking critique will kind of become muted. Sam's Strip (November 2-November 11 ,1961)    I'm so thrilled to be able to post this in probably the only place on earth where people will recognize an Alphonse and Gaston joke in 2020. I don't know the exact provenance of the globe guy but I recognize the image.

I think the Frazz-child is trying to say that it was a sports story that was written outside of hockey season (pucks), football season (goalposts), and - basketball season? Soccer season? Something with nets - and so did not mention those elements. I loving hate that my brain turned Frazz into a semi-coherent thought. Need more beer, then sleep.

In today's Corto Maltese: Corto's reputation precedes him, or Chang has ulterior motives, or Chang has a rather morbid taste in hanging decorations   So ends Corto's stint as a prisoner of Chang! At least, the idea that he is stuck in a particular physical location. Join us next tie, won't you? For...

There's never any actual tension in these comics so I can only predict the baby will have crawled back out already by the time she returns as who knows what animal.

The clipart-ing is incredibly sloppy in today's strip. Mark's head on panel 2 looks incredibly big. Julet Esqu posted:
It says a lot how lovely of a friend Luann is that she tries to pin all this on Gunther before admitting she's the one uncomfortable. That said, I'm sort of curious how the folks at Luann's comment section are taking this fight between Good Girl Luann and Incel Role Model Gunther. Part of me thinks there's huge fights blaming one or the other, but another part of me suspects they're all blaming this on Bets somehow. Oh my god, gently caress off Dethany. Fi's right to not trust anyone because we've seen how Fastrack is a lovely company to work for, not to mention how Dethany's nothing but a soul-sucking corporate sycophant who would blab about you to her abusive boss. The fact we're somehow supposed to side with Dethany for making GBS threads on Fi every time really gets to me. Good Listener posted:There's never any actual tension in these comics so I can only predict the baby will have crawled back out already by the time she returns as who knows what animal. My guess is that the baby turns out to be some kind of mechanical genius that fixed or improved something in the vents, despite her future self showing no signs of mechanical aptitude before. Now that I think about the two being different, has Holbrook ever bothered explaining why the baby's hair is black while her future self is blonde?

Multiquote on app is too much effort, so imagine I just quoted Luann, Fort Knox and OBH with variations of "gently caress right off with this poo poo" underneath each of them.

They don't explain why the baby is pale as her dad either. This does happen with some biracial children, but I don't know that Holbrook gave it much more thought than that.

If I hadn't been sick and therefore only managed to get out and see it on the last day it was showing, I quite likely would have gone and watched it again. Theatre rules! It's so much fun! Also this is the thread about posting newspaper comic strips, I don't think any of us should be acting smug about obsolete mediums.

Between this and the one about Inuits, I get the sense that the author wants Frazz to be inverse Dilbert, a strip that makes topical references highlighting inequalities in culture. The problem is that he is both terribly ill equipped to talk about these subjects and also literally incapable of telling a joke.

This seems like an ideal time to remind the thread that there is a Luann stage musical with book, music, and lyrics by that nutty ol' renaissance man, Greg Evans: The songs are on YouTube, but don't ask me about them because even I have my limits.
