The Dinette Set is not OSHA compliant. Working Daze is clearly in marketing.  Super-Fun-Pak Comix is basically this thread.  Cul De Sac knows Andre is cool.

Mikl posted:Just for the record, there is no island called Asiago in Italy. There is a city called Asiago, but it's in the north, all the way on the opposite side of the country. (And it lends its name to a pretty good cheese.) Finally, a positive portrayal of sex work on the funny pages.

Yeah Family Circus has been getting more and more dark as time goes on, the parents just look exhausted and the kids just keep looking ungrateful when they're not being precocious/misunderstanding words.

Wow Bettwy sure phoned that one in. I love that Sunday Mark Trails are canonically his youtube videos, so it follows that in the midst of giving his dad the old heart-softening speech he spotted the opossum, whipped out his phone and went "just a sec".

Dinky Dinkerton and Flyin' Jenny Sept. 10th, 1940  Axa amigolupus posted:I'm beginning to think that Mark Ten is just too good for Axa. He needs someone who would appreciate his mechanical charms. For some reason I read that as "mechanical arms" a couple times. I mean, agreed either way though.   Axa, Axa, no, you've done this before, don't assume you're not gonna need that sword.

Wait, Mark Ten just saved them from the evil tree, where the hell did he go? He just showed up and then immediately hosed off again? Also I can't wait for Joy Eden to actually want to implant her brain into Axa's body or steal her youth with a machine or something.

amigolupus posted:Ben's been a decent guy so far, and I don't like how Bernice being a judgmental rear end in a top hat is already giving him the wrong idea about a person he hasn't even met yet. Hopefully he sees through his sister's bullshit and offers Tara a room in his family's home or something. That would be pretty hilarious considering Bernice got kicked out of the family home to make room for Ben. Not saying I'm opposed to the idea, mind you. goatface posted:Axa lost her loincloth as well now. But [man] kept his skinny jeans. That loincloth is frankly disgusting and every time I see it I think about how filthy it must be. What this woman needs is some shorts. And some common sense. Kennel posted:Cruel Little Stories I feel like I'm thiiiiiiis close to getting this one but I'm not sure I'm there. Is it as simple as Aunt Aila brought over this gross-rear end bread that nobody asked for anyway and she's just bitching about it the whole time? I am enjoying dad's expression this whole time. He's completely over Aunt Aila's poo poo. Weembles posted:It's just a mean version of a PLOP! take or those half-lidded eyes that Hollbrook gives his characters when they deliver their "opps I forgot to tell a joke" punchlines. If Dustin strips like today's ended with a PLOP! instead of a cringe, I'd like the strip way more. Stultus Maximus posted:Comic was written by speakers of British English. Brits don't know wheat from corn?  Love it.

Twelve by Pies posted:Also I can't wait for Joy Eden to actually want to implant her brain into Axa's body or steal her youth with a machine or something. Whaaaat? Bad poo poo happening? In Paradise? Absurd! Julet Esqu posted:That loincloth is frankly disgusting and every time I see it I think about how filthy it must be. What this woman needs is some shorts. And some common sense. Yes, but that would also require her to not rip up all the clothes she's wearing at the slightest of inconveniences. As for wheat/corn, the Brits went a very long time not knowing about maize (from what I understand, and I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but 'corn' has a long history as a word, but a short one meaning specifically what we think of as corn nowadays, which was a New World plant). Edit: Actually, here: wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize#Names posted:The word "corn" outside the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand refers to any cereal crop, its meaning understood to vary geographically to refer to the local staple.[27][28] In the United States,[27] Canada,[29] Australia, and New Zealand,[30] corn primarily means maize; this usage started as a shortening of "Indian corn".[27] "Indian corn" primarily means maize (the staple grain of indigenous Americans), but can refer more specifically to multicolored "flint corn" used for decoration.[31]

So I only really started paying attention to Safe Havens halfway through the Mars Trip. I was vaguely aware of the various types of DNA magic going on, and assumed that all that was just one-offs to generate the various main characters, and the public face of the genetics lab was mostly normal. But then there was that Welcome Sign, and this...thing. Do they just make creatures like this all the time when they're not travelling to Mars?

Oh no, British Corn-Blindness was only solved in 1990 after several advances in medical technology. Actually, more seriously, I have no idea where Axa is supposed to be set. I assumed in Britain since it's you know, British, but The Gambler made me question that a bit.

He's completely over Aunt Aila's poo poo. That's pretty much how I read it, but it's one of those where I'm left wondering if I missed something. I guess it's mildly humorous to see aunt bringing a status gift that nobody really wanted, while mom tries to play a good host and rest of the family doesn't really give poo poo and this is clearly a situation that has happened before.

Oh, you sweet, summer child. Everything is DNA magic. The big ear guy? Was a mouse. The Blonde was ....a.....cat? whose parents was a dog and a..... gently caress, I don't remember now. The Black/white cat was a human lady for a while, but decided to go back to being a cat. Someone's child is a Plant/human combo, and is green. There are also Mermaids on Earth (who turned out to be the descendants of shape shifters from Mars.)

They are gods, gods I tell you! They have cracked the secret of the gene and the atom and the particles between space and time to become more than human, and they insult us by walking among us and pretending to be us still when they could be making the world a better place or doing anything at all!

How did it end up being... this? I have no recollection of actually reading it, and the only reason I remember it is that Opus mentioned it by name as "the strip that's taking over this space on Monday" a day or two before Bloom County ended. (At least it was the strip named by Opus in my local paper, other markets may have written in whatever comic was actually doing so there.) e: Looks like it was actually my local paper that did the writing in, the official version says Bettle Bailey: Bloom County August 4, 1989
