No hint of kindness or concern, no "Sorry to hear that Dustin, what are you experiencing that makes you think it's burnout?" Nope, just "WORKER MUST PRODUCE".

The attitude in Dustin is the same one applied to homeless people. Rather than combating the underlying problems, old shitheads like Skelley (or whoever it is who writes it) choose to blame the victim for just not bootstrapping hard enough.

riderchop posted:Heathcliff If you can't book the Gin Blossoms, the Gas Giants are almost as good (since it's mostly the same people). Bizarro  The Family Circus  For whatever reason this made me remember the time I asked my first grade math teacher what happens if you subtract a bigger number from a smaller one, like three minus five, and she said you couldn't ever do that, since there was no such thing as a number under zero. I had at least heard of negative numbers before, even if I didn't really know how to use them, but she said she'd never heard of such a thing. Not "we won't be getting to that this year", but straight up "that does not exist". Hadn't thought about that in years but now I'm annoyed all over again.

"I do not perceive you as working hard enough to 'justify' burnout, and therefore, it must not be! That you are apparently exhausted from what other people seem to find simple tasks if in no way concerning to anyone."

A guard cat so good at his job, when the kids are scared of the dark or a strange noise at night I can say, “Do you think Elvis would let anything into this house?

Cranky, smart, brave, vicious, gentle; he has an endless patience for kittens and children and an enduring love of Ben & Jerry’s Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream. I love him dearly.

I was actually kind of hoping the woman that Wilbur is with was already in a relationship, but I guess if she invited him to the beach and hasn't mentioned a partner/spouse, that isn't going to be the case, which is pretty disappointing.Pastry of the Year posted:Garfield Classic (January 12, 1990) Cats are obligate carnivores. Jon is trying to murder Garfield. Haifisch posted:After however long I've been posting this, I feel like it's safe to say old Overboard is definitely better than current Overboard, but still has the same bad habit of driving a small set of jokes/scenarios into the ground. No reason not to keep posting it though. Yeah that's how I feel about it too, all the stuff when they're on the ship and being pirates is great, but the constant "women don't like these two pirates" stuff is getting old. I still prefer it to the talking animals and twee bullshit of modern Overboard though. Well, except for any strip involving Scratch. I've already mentioned Scratch is the best character in modern Overboard because he's the only character that acts like it's still the 90s strip.

Current Overboard has the same feeling as Cat Cafe, where the author racks their brain for something to make a strip about, and the only thing that's left is "drat, I love my pet". It's pretty cute.

  Well, Definitely Not Greg's Publicist, I would say I think Luann might know more of her classmates if she made any kind of effort at all to get to know anyone outside of her small circle of people she already knew from high school (and whatever outsiders those friends happen to bring in). But last time she went to a party was at least a year ago and she had to leave almost immediately because people were smoking and she saw a couple *gasp* engaging in premarital kissing. Speaking of the small circle she knew in high school, two of the teen characters in that High School picture have since been written out. The two that remain + Gunther are basically her only friend circle now. (There are other college characters in the strip, for sure, but most of them don't hang out with Luann.)

Thanks much, and now I feel kind of guilty for slipping in those Spanish Mutt and Jeffs over the past week to see if anyone would notice the difference. So let's start by straightening that out.   As for 1938 Popeye, the big change is around the corner, but I'll explain that when we get to the next story.

 I like Mutt and Jeff, it has powerful dad joke energy and is pretty good-spirited.I think Crankshaft is up to about five reasons that The Sentinel was bought out, also that Skip totally stood up to that banker, also none of it mattered anyway.

His Divine Shadow posted:Gotta say the ending to schlock mercenary was really disappointing. I didn't like the last storyline at all, so many things hinted at, so many things being built up to and they just never materialized. I think a lot of those were supposed to be resolved in the followup comic that Howard was planning on doing but since that hasn't materialized... well'p. IIRC the original plan was that right after Schlock ended a new story in the same universe with new protagonists was going to start, but then he realized he hadn't had a vacation in 20+ years and that was like a year ago. Well deserved rest, but I would love to read more stories by him in the same universe.

And now, for something slightly different. Classic Kevin & Kell plus General Protection Fault (January 19-26, 2004) The long story short, in early 2004 Kevin & Kell did a cross-over with another long-running webcomic, General Protection Fault. As a set up for the event the two main characters of GPF, Nick and Ki, try out a virtual reality machine, which malfunctions and dumps them into the K&K world. Thing is, both strips advance the plot, so for a couple weeks, readers had to check the other webcomic to know what was going on. Not y'all, though: I'm going to post both strips right here for as long as they're relevant (a few days' woth of posting), so you don't have to switch websites to get the full story. So, without further ado...          (The cross-over started mid-week, from tomorrow you'll get basically double the amount of strips.) Modern Kevin & Kell
