Alright, question: does anyone think anybody in Funk or Crank is actually going to catch the virus. Does he go that far.

Hostile V posted:Alright, question: does anyone think anybody in Funk or Crank is actually going to catch the virus. Does he go that far. The Lisa-replacement wife, so that Les can have another heartbreaking loss arc that nobody cares about. And maybe write some books about it that don't turn out to be half as popular as the breathtaking saga of 'My wife died of cancer and I'm the most important person in existence because of it.' And then he remarries to someone else who gets even less screen time in favor of him drumming the Lisa drum even harder. Also, turns out Lisa recorded some prescient VHS tapes about 'so there's a pandemic, huh?', and 'Oh you're the third wife? Well he'll still be thinking of me when you gently caress.'

And this does ultimately count as Arlo's fault since he didn't explain dog poo poo etiquette or make sure Gene had a poop bag with him. A&J is a reasonable comic so I expect that to be pointed out at some point, though.

The real mystery is why Encyclopedia Brown's in disguise. Don't remember that at all. These strips are terrible adaptations; they keep adding superfluous detail for DRAMA, while making the actual case details hard to find. On the other hand, such gripping mysteries "The Case of the Missing Penguin" (solution: penguins live at the SOUTH Pole) is hard to sell.

Time and again we've seen him survive confrontations that would kill a smaller rabbit by just punching the aspiring predator in the face. It's not that Kevin is particularly smart, it's that everyone else is apparently a braindead moron compared to him. Like in that one strip the mouse should easily have been able to look at the schedule and also see there weren't any panels going on at that time, just like Kevin did, but he is a braindead moron and thus deserves to be murdered. I've never seen this one before and I'm amazed that it was published.

(October 11-13, 1934) This strip rules Haifisch posted:The in-strip explanation was that it's a costume party so Brown would stand out too much if he wasn't in a costume. Nevermind that anyone who'd be on the lookout for him would likely recognize his face anyway. He's also the only child in attendance at an adult party, so he'd attract attention regardless

Haha, holy poo poo, I've never seen this one before. Wonder how many complaints he got for that one? Also, I'm not sure if Little Lefty is a good comic, it's too early to tell, really, but I'm liking it already. gently caress yeah. Anyways, got my second shot today, so here's a double dose of my comics. Dinky Dinkerton, Flyin' Jenny, and The Red Knight Nov. 19th-20th, 1940 Axa Oh... oh, no... Thinking about it, I probably should have seen this coming. Welp, this one's gonna be a bit rough.

Evil Mastermind posted:Yes, but the main problem is that she's never actually punished for it. She just acts obnoxious and lovely and all her "friends" just shrug and still hang out with her instead of telling her to go gently caress herself and be miserable somewhere else. Oh sure the strip is bad I just don't think the authors intend us to read her as a hero
