amigolupus posted:Twenty years? Wait, did we just get a massive timeskip? That fellow has been in the strip since the start and presumably arting since before then. We've seen well more than 10-15 years in strip already and 20 isn't a big stretch(i.e. the birth and now teenager years of that blonde girl, Rane's generation going from brats to young adults, etc.) It's really cool to see all his work at once, most of it has appeared individually in strips.

Yes, this reminds me that (for those of you who haven't been doing extracurricular reading) the entirety of June in 9CL was dedicated to the Ghulk's returning sex dreams about the ballerina, and how it made him doubt if he was gay at all. So basically, Brooke's Gay Pride Month storyline was "A Salute To Conversion Therapy". Maybe it was a good call to stop posting before we got to that.

Car chase ends better than it went, nicely done. I'd say surely tomorrow will neatly wrap up these two Mark Trail stories but Sunday is the animal facts strip so surely Monday will. And Mark acquiring a rogue's gallery of competing edutainment nerds would be great, Bee Sharp has definitely been the better antagonist of the three we got. Or make the next story about a genuine ecological menace like a poacher or something. New Mark Trail does pretty well with setting building. Somebody take Rex Morgan out back and put it down.

Surgeon's Tales The book emphasizes that Bernhard really thought that Ester was a gold digger and would do anything to hold the countess' title, so he could keep humiliating her without consequences.  In the book Paul comes home and Bernhard telling him that his mother has left to a German spa. This comes as a surprise to everyone so rumors start spreading. The comic skips the first part for some reason, but the rumors start anyway, as we shall see. Nancy  Dustin  Mandrake

riderchop posted:Safe Havens Okay, so I have been extremely not paying attention to this strip, but just happened to read this one. I know that the answer to what I'm about to ask is going to be "Holbrook," but just so we're clear... These mice are known to be sapient and have the power of speech and self-expression, but they're kept in a wire cage and experimented on by one of their own and nobody thinks this is horrifying abuse?

This is still somehow better than in the K&K universe where every inhabitant is a sapient animal and Lindsfarne keeps two mice imprisoned in her room as "research specimens."

Moomin under sail Moomin stories tend to be a bit surreal and dreamlike, but this is solidly into dream logic-land at this point. M  I have no idea what to make of this.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Despite being pretty pro-worker and anti-corporate, I have a bad feeling that this is leading to Stuart being right and Marla being wrong. Hope I'm mistaken, because I'd love to see mohawk guy end up being a great worker just to spite Stuart. I'm still struck by how contrary it is to the logic of Marla's previous encounters with "bad" job applicants that a dude who dresses with a mohawk, a nose chain, and visible tattoos under a tank top to a job interview is being treated like an ace hire for customer service in menswear. Like, the one department where Stuart's arbitrary rules would logically apply.

I got myself a comedy probe last night and immediately thought, "wait, poo poo, I should have waited until I posted my comics." Now featuring a returning star, sourced from the Detroit Evening Times. Will it have found its footing, or will it still be a little hard to follow? Guess we'll see. Dinky Dinkerton, Flyin' Jenny, and The Shadow Dec. 23rd, 1940    Also, looking at the Detroit Evening Times, I noticed something odd in the financial section...  Sometimes I wonder about old layout. Going back and looking at old Dragon magazines has reminded me how often articles were split up into two or three sections spread throughout the magazine, which can make them difficult to use sometimes.
