Johnny Walker posted:I guess the humor is supposed to be he's talking to a baby and understands the baby even though all the baby says is Bah Bah, which is stupid and awful. I guess I'mma be the Daddy Daze defender. I realize that having the dad translate the babyspeak is aggravating to many people here, but I can take that a hell of a lot faster than I can the cutesey phonetic misspelled babyspeak that gets used in Rose is Rose. I also appreciate that Daddy Daze depicts a divorced couple who seem to genuinely like each other and who aren't constantly arguing or using the baby as a weapon in their failed marriage. And as simplistic as the art style may be, the artist often does things with facial expressions that I find kinda sweet and charming. This, on the other hand: quote:Rex Morgan MD As if I didn't already hate this storyline enough already, Jesus loving Christ I can practically see the cartoon dollar signs in Rex's eyes here as he tries to convince his child to sell her story to a famous children's author. She's already told you no, you self-centered, entitled prick. Leave her the gently caress alone. This whole loving comic should just be renamed "White Privilege".

Proxima Centauri is too dim to view with the unaided eye. Also, if it's that high in the sky, you pretty much have to be in the southern hemisphere; it never even crests the horizon in any US state except Hawaii, and the southernmost portions of Texas and Florida.

I think Daddy Daze is fine. It's not a great and I can understand why people don't like it, but I just can't really imagine finding it interesting enough to have particularly strong feelings on it.Professor Wayne posted:The Far Side I love this one.

I loving love this thread.  catlord posted:I think Daddy Daze is fine. It's not a great and I can understand why people don't like it, but I just can't really imagine finding it interesting enough to have particularly strong feelings on it. The reason people hate Daddy Daze a lot is that it started with an interesting premise of a single dad working through his issues by using the baby as a sounding board. But then the author quickly ran out of ideas so now the baby is just a super genius and the dad translates what they're saying as the joke. It's just really disappointing to have an interesting idea for a comic end up like it's Snoopy and Woodstock all over again. catlord posted:Axa Oh man, another adventure where Robot Mark is sitting it out? This sucks!

FROM A FEW PAGES BACKJohnny Aztec posted:Anyone got "A History of Paint" book open and ready? Why was Old Tyme painting such a chore? RoboRodent posted:One of my grandfathers worked as a painter in, oh, I guess the late thirties and early forties, and he referred to modern latex paint as "roll it out and nail the corners down." He loved modern paint for how easy it was, and how any idiot could apply it without too much difficulty. My father was a research chemist for Rohm and Haas; they invented water-based acrylic latex coatings (paint) (my grandfather, his dad, also worked for R&H his entire career, starting around 1926, was in on inventing the polymerization process that lead to the development of Plexiglas in the late 1920s). Up until the end of the 19th century, there were no pre-mixed house paints. You hired a painter, and he showed up with a wagon-load of pigments, dyes, and various petroleum-based products, and he mixed your paint right then & there. Pre-mixed, ready-to-apply paints revolutionized the industry. Everyone started painting everything - all that hand-made lacquered furniture was not immune.

Vintage Valiant (Feb. 17, 1946)   I mentioned this before, but Genseric is really only asking Eudoxia to abide by a deal previously made. I suppose demanding that she join them in Africa is technically a little light kidnapping  , but he's probably not wrong that it's safer for her.

Moomin under sail M   For the first strip, the song he's singing to is Hodet over Vannet / Head over water. (Themesong for a norwegian crime-comedy film, and it hit the top 10 at the time (1993).) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2hOWSI2hJg

Yeah, he mentions it in one of the 'words from the author' pages in the book, and it was a fairly common question throughout the series' run: quote:The Madam's eyes: Why are they just two crosses? So it's just to convey how he never really knows what she's thinking about at any given moment.
