You know, I'm beginning to understand why Josh of the comics curmudgeon quit even hate-reading Luann. The stakes in this comic are so low they're wedged now into the earth's mantle. I almost get to feeling like I"m being robbed of my life with the time I've wasted reading it, just these few seconds per day. You know the kind of writing it reminds me of? Someone who just found out about TVTropes, and has decided to write a story so "clever" it subverts or avoids all narrative tropes, completely failing to actually bother attempting to tell a compelling story in the first place. Like the evanses think they're coming up with these really interesting twists, but what they don't realize is that twists are only cool narrative devices if the payoff is more dramatic, interesting, or at the very least funnier than the expectation. It's not a twist if you just suck all the tension out of the story, it's just a boring rear end flat story. gently caress!!!!

I'm just impressed that they have, in Bernice, created a character more instantly hateful than the most artfully constructed villain, and entirely by mistake.

Julet Esqu posted:I can't believe I'm asking this, but how does Trapeze Doofus walk down a hall while hanging from a trapeze? Imagine being an engineer for NASA and getting picked to work on creating a ship for the Mars exploration program, and feeling proud to help with such an amazing project. At first, you hear some grumbling from the pilots about nepotism because the computer selected the lead scientist and all of her friends to man the ship, with that douchey basketball player who wears sunglasses 24/7 being the one to pilot it. It's weird, you suppose, but it doesn't really have anything to do with you. Then the requests start coming in. A gigantic fish tank in the lab, one that can comfortably contain something as big as a shark. The living quarters made to look like college dorm rooms, complete with wooden doors. Placing 3D printers out of every orifice of the ship, with half the project budget spent on buying ABS. Childproofing the entire ship, and somehow trying to figure out a way so the crewmember's children don't get killed by the G forces during the launch. And just when you thought you're done with this nightmare of a project, one last request comes in: They want you to install trapezes in every corner of the ship.

If they weren't from completely different comics, I would've thought that Bernice was actually Les Moore's kid with how equally repugnant both of them are

In today's out-of-order Blueberry: Being bitten by a snake is very bad. To get an idea, please click this link, or another editorial I took into my hands - in the comic, Cochise describes the tent as a 'tipi', now, not only is it obviously NOT a tipi in structure, it's extremely unlikely that Apache people would have referred to ANY tent-like structure as a tipi, that was more something used by other Native peoples. If anything, Cochise would have probably referred to such a structure as a wickiup, but even then, the tent being used is drastically different in structure, that I shouldn't think he'd even use THAT term, or Bascom schemes...

I'm just kind of amazed that in a comic strip where science is literal magic that transforms people into other creatures and time travel happens constantly, the dumbest thing is still the loving trapeze kid.

Mammila is a sort of opposite to a standard soap comic strip like Rex Morgan. It doesn't spend 4 weeks labouring between every story beat, it covers three on one page and then skips a month and leaves you to fill in the gaps.
