Just for the record: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_Nine_Publishingquote:Plan Nine Publishing was a small press book publisher known for publishing webcomics in printed form. The first series published, and perhaps its most famous, was Kevin and Kell. Founded 1996, defunct 2008 apparently; the list of stuff it published is a whole trip down the memory lane to the early 'aughts.

Gotta admit, while I like the various Allison comics, I do find it confusing to have multiple of them running in the thread simultaneously with the same characters. It's pretty hard for me to keep track of them. Bad Machinery is easy to pick out since that's reruns of something I'm familiar with, but the 2-3 others just kind of bleed into eachother for me. (How many are currently running? Bad Machinery + the one with the people working at a.. magazine? + the Lottie one? There was also a time travel one? Is the one where Shelley just got kidnapped a different one with Lottie? ) Moomin and the Golden Tail  Aka: Moomin notices his hair is starting to thin and has a midlife crisis.

It's pretty hard for me to keep track of them. Destroy History was the time travel one, which basically took place in the 3-year gap between Scary Go Round and the start of Bad Machinery. Circus Windows and Author Unknown? are set in the present of the Bobbinsverse. Lottie's investigating Shelley's disappearance because they've been friends since the Scary Go Round days.

Mikl posted:Run, Drew. loving run, real fast, and don't look back. I'm already steeling myself for this to end with the two being together, and for Ashlee's awfulness to go completely unaddressed. SubNat posted:Moomin and the Golden Tail Are we back to Tove Jansson writing the comic? Either I'm bad at being able to tell who wrote it via the dialogue, or the other writer has been getting better at emulating Jansson's style.

amigolupus posted:After all the family drama and misery, this strip is a breath of fresh air. More like this, please, Mämmilä. It's always worth remembering that Mämmilä was originally a biweekly comic in a current affairs magazine, and basically most things happening in it intentionally reflect the various trends and happenings in the Finnish society at the era. Ie. the various industrial turnovers reflect the 'structural change' of late 80s, the Punk Cave storyline reflected the popularity of punk rock and the housing preservation movement in late 70s, Mukku's arrival reflects the arrival of Somali refugees etc. With that in mind, what we're already seeing, and going to be seeing increasingly from here on, is this period of Finnish history. It's not going to be getting lighter in a while.

Either I'm bad at being able to tell who wrote it via the dialogue, or the other writer has been getting better at emulating Jansson's style. Ye, this is the last written by Tove story, and was originally supposed to be the last one she drew as well. But things happened and she ended up staying around to draw a couple more stories before Lars took over drawing them as well. Zereth posted:... Hot strawberry juice? I mean, hot strawberry juice is pretty delicious. Scandinavia has a couple warm and cool variants of red fruit soups either as their own thing, or as a sauce to oatmeal, rice-cream, ice cream, etc. Juice in this context is kinda like a drink syrup? It was super common to preserve fruits and berries by condensing them down to a drink concentrate which you mix with water when drinking. They're called 'saft' here in norway, which translates directly as juice, like in 'meat juices' for example. But is separate from 'fruit juice', which is rarely sold in concentrate form here. I guess berry cordial might be the most applicable term, though I'm not familiar with it myself. Hot berry juices like blackcurrant juice/toddy is delicious and pretty common as a drink when you've got a cold, or on a hiking trip etc. As a kid whenever I was sick I'd usually get handed a big mug of hot water mixed up with saft, as opposed to tea. My grandma used to make a great one from currants and blackcurrants she'd harvest from her gardens. Yvonmukluk posted:I'm posting Bobbins on the weekends, which is basically a modernised take on the original strip that started it all. I believe Allison initially planned for the OG Bobbins to be a newspaper strip. It's basically a slice of life looking at Shelley, Tim, Ryan & Amy. Alright, thanks for clearing it up a bit for me.

SubNat posted:I mean, hot strawberry juice is pretty delicious. Scandinavia has a couple warm and cool variants of red fruit soups either as their own thing, or as a sauce to oatmeal, rice-cream, ice cream, etc. I think it's more commonly called squash in places like the UK, but it's not really something we do here in the US anymore (if we ever did, I'm not sure). Typically the only fruit you can get as a concentrate is orange and it's frozen in a can. Other fruit juices we can buy commercially are already ready to drink and the variety is usually grape, apple, grapefruit, or orange, or cranberry. Some of these might have other flavors mixed in. Guess it comes down to marketing and what was profitable to do. Which is a long way to say yeah, strawberry juice sounds weird to this American, lol.

SubNat posted:Alright, thanks for clearing it up a bit for me. A big part of the charm of John Allison's comics was that you could read all of his older work on his various websites and see his style change and the characters grow over the years. When new stuff came out, you were invested in all of the characters and knew all of the backstory and in-universe references. Now, with most of his older stuff memory holed, paywalled, or hidden in out of print collections, I don't know how people are supposed to get into his stuff without threads like this filled with people willing to explain everything.

My Lovely Horse posted:Excuse me I think you'll find a liberal arts degree is superfluous faff and forever marks you as a drain on society in every regard, and that you should instead be, say, a lawyer, or else a radio host. But Dustin is still the mouthpiece for "saying a thing in Spanish bad, quoting a politician I agree with good!" I guess that's why he's allowed to live there. Or that whole being a human punching bag for Ed's bullying.
