Like everything else Holbrook does in K+K, it falls apart when you consider she is a rabbit toddler that is also some kind of super predator. She's been show to murder and completely consume full grown carnivore adults.

Hey I just spent months in Gaeta Italy!. It's pretty small but yeah it was one of the important port cities in between Rome and Naples. For quite a bit the town across the way from it in the bay was a Moorish pirate enclave.

It's sad when your kids grow up and begin clashing with you a lot, but these two don't even try to think about why, exactly, their kids are upset with them.

Of course. Kel has killed countless weasels in the past. But instead of dwelling on that fact we're just going to focus on this one specific weasel. Who Kel is not being accused of targeting intentionally. Literally the entire drat line of attack is that she targets herbivores so indiscriminately that by sheer random chance she's probably killed someone you knew.

This accusation against Kell is even more stupid because the turtle guy doesn't even have to make anything up. A simple investigation would show that Kevin's family commits crimes on the reg: Kevin convinced his brother-in-law to commit embezzlement in exchange for letting Kevin's business host Herdthinners's servers. Kell killed a talk show host on live TV that one time. Lindesfarne regularly hacks into government servers as her hobby. Rudy trespassed into NASA and hosed up a scheduled flight, which costed billions of dollars.

I can't get over this one, I know someone else said it but none of those things are the reason he's running either. He's literally running just so he can get he can get his daughter into a club, he straight up says "I'm going to run so she can get into that club."

Right there! This is the only reason he gives for running! Not even "I'm going to run so that other children like her have equal opportunities," just straight up "I'm running just to let her into that club."

It's funny how Holbrook's contempt for politics here accidentally serves as a mark against the Kevin's character instead.

For those who weren't paying attention to politics back then, this is a reference to W Bush and Cheney getting caught on a hot mic referring to a particular reporter as a "major league rear end in a top hat, big time."

Points for ruthlessness, points off for not making sure.

This scene was actually promoted in an ad that ran before the strip started, complete with this photo of Patterson demonstrating proper scissors-stabbing technique to McMein:

How Wonderful!: Jul 18, 2006; I only have excellent ideas

Hey comic strip friends, I passed my dissertation defense on Friday and submitted my final manuscript to the university this morning, so if I do not have a totally clear plate yet (I'm moving in May, and will be grading finals in two weeks) I have at least eaten all the veggies off of it and can sneak on a little posting dessert.

As a favor to myself I am dropping Sam's Strip for the time being. It was cute but I think posting three strips just made the whole process tip over to boring so I want to see if I can get back into a steady schedule with just DtWOF and Batman

Dykes to Watch Out For #130 (1992) (spoiled for nudity)

BSE's are not generally suggested now as firmly as they were in the 80s and 90s, since it can result in a lot of false positives. Nowadays health organizations suggest a more generalized sense of breast awareness and what is and isn't a red flag. It's a complicated issue, I'm not that kind of doctor (but I am a doctor).

Mo is singing "'64 Ford" by the lesbian singer-songwriter Phranc, which appeared on her 1991 LP "Positively Phranc." Let's rock with Mo.

That's what's on Comics Kingdom. :shrug:

Speaking of which, I whipped up a little labor-saving script to fetch a given list of comics from Comics Kingdom, upload them all to Imgur, and produce a nice block of bbcode ready to copy-paste into the "new post" box here on the forums. (Hey, I'm a sysadmin, out of sheer laziness we tend to automate anything we're going to do more than once or twice.)

code:

#!/bin/bash

DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d`

for COMICNAME in bizarro family-circus; do

	RAWOUTPUT=`wget -q -O - "https://v7.comicskingdom.net/comics/${COMICNAME}/${DATE}"`
	FILENAME=`echo "$RAWOUTPUT" | grep img.php | awk -F '"' '{print $2}'`
	wget -q -O "${DATE}-${COMICNAME}.gif" "$FILENAME"
	DISPLAYNAME=`echo "$RAWOUTPUT" | grep "<h1>" | awk -F '>' '{print $2}' | awk -F '<' '{print $1}'`
	echo "[b]${DISPLAYNAME}[/b]"
	./imgur.sh "${DATE}-${COMICNAME}.gif" 2>/dev/null | awk '{printf("[img]%s[/img]\n",$0)}'
	echo

done

The output looks like this (here I have the script saved as getcomics.sh):

code:

pd@voskhod:~/Desktop/Comics$ ./getcomics.sh 
[b]Bizarro[/b]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/mPtTP90.gif[/img]

[b]Family Circus[/b]
[img]https://i.imgur.com/YOAhBlo.gif[/img]

It works under Linux, MacOS, and even Windows (if you run it under WSL) as long as you have wget and curl installed. You'll also need this imgur uploader script from github, just put imgur.sh into the same folder with the above script: https://github.com/tremby/imgur.sh

Replace the list of comics (the "bizarro family-circus" part in mine) with whichever ones you're looking to post, of course. Each name must match what's in its Comics Kingdom URL, e.g. you'd use "dennis-the-menace" for https://v7.comicskingdom.net/comics/dennis-the-menace/.

Anyway, I hope it's useful to someone. Feel free to hit me up in PMs if you need assistance getting it to work.

Weird. Have you got a link to where you got that one? The widescreen is from here: https://v7.comicskingdom.net/comics/bizarro/2021-04-19/

Mostly I'm impressed that Wayno is apparently completely re-drawing every single strip in two different formats, I guess to fit various papers with different-shaped comic spaces for it to slot into.

Yeah I went to .com. That explains it I guess.

For the horizontally-averse, here's a version of the script that pulls from the .com version of CK.

There are some other differences in the pages, so a few more changes were necessary to scrape out the image filename and the nicely-formatted strip name.

code:

#!/bin/bash

DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d`

for COMICNAME in bizarro family-circus mother-goose-grimm sherman-s-lagoon; do

	RAWOUTPUT=`wget -q -O - "https://www.comicskingdom.com/${COMICNAME}/${DATE}"`
	FILENAME=`echo "$RAWOUTPUT" | grep og:image | awk -F '"' '{print $4}'`
	wget -q -O "${DATE}-${COMICNAME}.gif" "$FILENAME"
	DISPLAYNAME=`echo "$RAWOUTPUT" | grep og:title | awk -F '"' '{print $4}' | sed "s/&amp;/\&/g" | sed "s/&#x27;/'/g"`
	echo "[b]${DISPLAYNAME}[/b]"
	./imgur.sh "${DATE}-${COMICNAME}.gif" 2>/dev/null | awk '{printf("[img]%s[/img]\n",$0)}'
	echo

done

This evening if I have time I'll see if I can throw together an equivalent labor-saver for GoComics.

As promised, the GoComics version of the automatic comic strip getter-uploader-bbcoder.

The two sites are a lot more similar than I expected, so I really just had to tweak the Comics Kingdom script a bit. Once again, when listing the comics you want to use it on, use the name exactly as it appears in the GoComics URL. And you'll still need the imgur upload script.

code:

#!/bin/bash
  
DATE=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
DATESLASH=`date +%Y/%m/%d`

for COMICNAME in luann bignate lil-abner barneyandclyde; do

        RAWOUTPUT=`wget -q -O - "https://www.gocomics.com/${COMICNAME}/${DATESLASH}"`
        FILENAME=`echo "$RAWOUTPUT" | grep '"og:image"' | awk -F '"' '{print $4}'`
        wget -q -O "${DATE}-${COMICNAME}.gif" "$FILENAME"
        DISPLAYNAME=`echo "$RAWOUTPUT" | grep '"og:title"' | awk -F '"' '{print $4}' | sed "s/&amp;/\&/g" | sed "s/&#x27;/'/g" | sed "s/&#39;/'/g" | awk -F ' by ' '{for (i=1;i<NF;i++){if (i>1){printf(" by ")} printf("%s",$i)}}'`
        echo "[b]${DISPLAYNAME}[/b]"
        ./imgur.sh "${DATE}-${COMICNAME}.gif" 2>/dev/null | awk '{printf("[img]%s[/img]\n",$0)}'
        echo

done

Output:

code:
