A comment on the compounding nature of sexual abuse was here, but, it is such an awful thing to start a new page with and also not even the thread for it really so I am going to just remove it. So how bout that 90s homophobia, eh

Arivia posted:It wasn't just Archer, tbf - the blowback was bad enough to convince critically-acclaimed seminal post-metal band Isis to also change their name for reunion shows. People get poo poo for having named their cats Isis. Weirdly in Oxford there were a whole bunch of businesses named stuff like Isis Cleaning or Isis Tree Surgery or whatever (after the river Isis) that managed to weather the storm of new bad associations easily enough. By contrast one of the dogs on Downton Abbey was called Isis but they killed her off and replaced her with puppies named poo poo like Fred and George.

What the gently caress are you talking about that never happened in Downton Abbey. They got a new dog late series 6 and named her after an Egyptian Queen.

Or do you mean Pharoah? Does seem like the 'kill off the dog because people will get confused' was bullshit though. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2014/nov/03/isis-in-crisis-is-downton-abbey-dog-best-character-die posted:Between series four and five, some international events occurred which resulted in the fact that you can now Google the words “Isis Downton Terrorist” and get 3.4million results. A slew of conspiracy theories emerged about “growing discomfort about the dog’s name being similar to that of the terrorist group Isis”. (I make no comment. But this is utter lunacy.) Uncle Julian (Fellowes, the writer behind the series) responded that the dogs’ names used so far come from Downton’s connection to Egyptology. The real-life fifth Earl of Carnarvon financed the expedition that led to the excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun in the 1920s. A likely story indeed. Any sensible person continues to believe that Isis is the Trojan Labrador of Our Times who holds the hidden key to international peace. Not making the dog a time travelling fifth columnist for a caliphate, nestled in rural yorkshire, was a missed opportunity imo

It's like the dog in For Better or Worse. The cartoonist realized the big dog was around 20, so it got bumped off heroically saving the toddler.

No one can force you to watch Cleopatra 2525, but there are probably some Bruce Campbell-centric social groups where you may be obligated to watch Jack o' All Trades.

In Footrot Flats, the stray cat the character 'Horse' was based on died and the author put a big commemoration at the start of his next book all about it. It was really touching. But Footrot Flats was a book about farming life written by someone who'd spent their life living on farms and never tried to shy away from dealing with the sex, disease and death that comprise most of a farmer's work. EDIT: Uh, that's sex as in breeding the livestock. Not the people sort. The Dog saw to that

I'd only heard that Charles Schultz said if the author killed off Farley he'd have Snoopy hit by a car. I mostly know the author of For Better Or For Worse got weird after she got divorced.

As bad? Funky Cancerbean is remarkable but it plays out over a long timescale, is very melodramatic and isn't harvested from the authors own life. Reading For Better Or For Worse post-divorce was an awful glimpse inside someone's grief, it was so closely modelled on her own life. Some of the author notes were just depressing, where she talked about all the spare time she had and how it was simpler to just cook and clean for one. And wasn't there some strange drama about the creator rewriting her children's lives? Edit: Rereading what I wrote, it understates just strange Funky got in it's own right. Is there any good timeline of that out on the web? nonathlon has a new favorite as of 14:04 on Sep 13, 2021 |

It was worse than that. It's full of "my kids made the wrong decisions in life so in the comic they'll do the right ones" Who they married, their choice of careers and more. Imagine your mom publicly trying to shame you like that.

My understanding of the For Better or For Worse author was that she was so awful to be around, that even her children sympathized with her dad when he was the one to have an affair. Also, yes, the author rewrote the characters in the comics to be her ideal family in the reboot. Also, she even had some really petty snipes against her family.

The thing I remember most about Funky Winkerbean is that the spinoff comic, Crankshaft, which was just a gag-a-day strip that never did a time-skip, occasionally did flash-forwards of Crankshaft as an extremely aged, near-death invalid in a nursing home without jokes or any sense of what was going on. And I think that version of the character was in a Funky Winkerbean story about a kid volunteering in a nursing home. It was extremely jarring.

I read the creator wanted to show that comics could handle serious subjects. But what's the audience for "I'm alone, senile and rotting away, the end, no moral"?

Newspaper comics get kinda wild when they become institutions and the author just does whatever because their audience of old fucks and bored kids doesn't care or can't complain. Reminds me of how webcomics can end up.
