Ghostlight posted:I remember her pretending her husband was her hulking gay friend during sex, and the husband pretending that he was the hulking gay friend during sex. I'm thinking earlier, when she actually confessed the crush. I dunno, I'm certainly not going back through 9CL archives, maybe it's not quite like I remember. But gently caress, that was kinda weird too, especially when all their friends excitedly talked about their roleplaying them. Anyways, July 27th-29th, 1940 Comics The Shadow   Flyin' Jenny I'm uh... gonna timg the Sunday, not quite sure what this guy's deal is but given that it's 1940, I'm gonna guess it's something that didn't age well.    And of course, Axa

FrumpleOrz posted:Mother Goose & Grimm I can't believe Grimm is loving dead  *heavy sigh* Like this storyline had a couple of days of not being too bad. The family being nice to each other and all. But enough of that, time to poo poo on Tiff who had a very long story arc about having to downsize her lifestyle thanks to financial abuse from her dad's girlfriend. Tiff knows how to exist without a hot tub. But whatever. lol rich girl cares about her hair lol

I don't understand why people defend her like she's a real person who's being mischaracterized. She's literally a character, so any characterization is just how she is. It's not good writing but she doesn't have an honor to defend

I don't personally need or want to be reminded of the framing that evans wants to punish the people who were mean to him in high school by proxy every time it comes out as inexcusably bad writing. But I don't mind people pointing out that he's doing it again. It'd be like pointing out that brooke is blatantly writing his weird fetishes every time that turns into a hosed up strip

It took me a couple months of following this thread to realize he's doing three different mediocre-to-bad comics a the same time. Too bad he can't distill down to one Ok comic.

Technowolf posted:Why would you hurt yourself like this? I don't currently have the best internet in the world and for whatever reasons both of those comics rarely ever loaded. No issue with Kevin and Kell though. Odd. So I saw all three together for the first time and I was like what the hell... then begin my decent into madness. From the random fast tracks I've read I thought Dethany was Death's human form avatar(like Gaiman's Sandman stuff) deciding to live a really boring life. Boy was I wrong. poo poo was even weirder than I thought possible.

In this installment of The Timid Soul (November 30, 1948), that's an absolutely amazing quilt. Realize that HT Webster had to draw each of those separate patterns by hand. I guess this strip pre-dates the introduction of a unified emergency phone number? I can appreciate why Caspar has the FBI's number there, but what the DA could do, I don't know. Feels a bit weird for Caspar to be sleeping alone here.

EBB posted:If Vin is alive, who did the kids murder and eat for the competition? amigolupus posted:I'm gonna guess it was the elk Rudy spared, because Good guess, but actually no.  "Now he'll never learn about show don't tell!"  This strip is timely.  Of course, the body being "the carcass of a talk radio host" just raises further questions. Where did the birds get the body? Did they kill the radio host on purpose to disguise them as Vin? Or do they just have plenty of corpses on ice in case they need to fake someone's death (as they just did Fenton's)? If so, where do they get all those bodies? Remember that the law in this hellworld is that you can kill someone to eat them, but if you don't, it's murder. And here I go putting way too much thought into a comic strip.

at the idea of a nameless prey surviving.

the birds corral the aggressiveness of the carnivores by allowing them to murder anyone they want whenever they want, without any repercussions. An herbivore that fights back is an existential threat to be destroyed.

LazyQ posted:Mämmilä I think the joke translates across pretty well on its own, but it's worth stressing that "humpuuki" is an old Finnish word for humbug, and is used to indicate all kinds of nonsense, pseudoscience etc. So this might as well be "Doctor Flimflamstein's sensational method for winning the lottery". E: Fingerpori reaches for the low hanging fruit but I like the details, like that one cat eating cartoonish dead fish   As long time readers might remember, for reasons that probably made sense at the time, some old movie theaters are called "BIO" somethings in many parts of Europe*.  (* German inventors Max and Emil Skladanowsky invented and popularized the Bioscop projector system in the late 19th century, which is probably why you still find Bioscoops and Bio Reginas and whatnot throughout Europe) Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 11:00 on Jan 17, 2021 |

Selachian posted:Rhymes with Orange While ago I had missed a payment (due to carelessness) and got a call from a collection agency. Afterwards I got a standard customer service feedback message: "Would you recommend us to your friends?" "Oh yeah, hey buddy, stop paying your bills and a nice lady will call and ask if you need more time to handle it" (that must be pretty depressing job if you are not a sadist) Surgeon's Tales  This backstory sounds so silly, that I'd presume he is either a real person or at least a local folk legend, but I couldn't find any additional info.  Nancy  Dustin  Cruel Little Stories  This is the only strip I still remembered after 24 years and it's certainly pretty wild. And yes, it's exactly as awkward in Finnish.

Absolutely brokenhearted at being unable to reach getseniorsonline.org this morning. Googling the phrase takes you to a Facebook group that has seen one update since 2013. The link off the group won't respond, and neither will going directly there.

Kennel posted:While ago I had missed a payment (due to carelessness) and got a call from a collection agency. Afterwards I got a standard customer service feedback message: "Would you recommend us to your friends?" My boss's son backed out on some package deal with a driving school, which then immediately sicced a collection agency on him. Cue my boss's wife googling them and pointing out all the one star reviews of the collection agency as proof they were thugs. Like, sending a collection agency after someone after one day of missing payment is illegal (in the Netherlands at least) but are you really expecting positive reviews on a collection agency? edit: I suppose people who hire them might be content. But they're going to be massively outnumbered every time.

Come to think of it, one thing I hadn't realised while posting today's set of Classic K&K strips: how do Aura and Fenton know each other? She's Rudy and Bruno's teacher, not his, and they haven't interacted on-panel that I can remember. Is it normal to be able to identify your girlfriend's step-brother's teacher on sight?

As a kid in the 60s, my mother taught me to dial 0 for the operator in the event of a fire/emergency. Nine-one-one didn't come along to our area (US) until probably the mid-70s.
