You're loving up Mary Worth writer. You're loving up deep. You've proven too well Wilbur is an unlovable loser. The only way you can salvage this is if you make it text that Estelle is also a deeply moronic person who also makes the stupidest decisions ever by getting together again with this oaf.

My Lovely Horse posted:An interesting point about the newspaper comics landscape; personally I'd rather that no medium be inherently seen as unfit for attempting to create something of artistic/literary/social value. It may not be the best place, but if it's the one place where someone has a voice, there should ne no formal reason it can't be a place. I feel like we've been there a lot in the past (comic books, video games, internet as a whole) and I think the idea that some formats are "high art" and some can only ever be "low art" and everyone needs to stay in their lane and never push boundaries hurts everyone in the long run. Despite the newspaper comics that exist doing everything in their power to prove the point. I mean, I don't either, personally I think the distinction of high art and low art is dumb and limiting, since frankly the "low art" has just as much, if not more, impact on culture (I mean, look at the poo poo I read, watch, and talk about!), and that's why I was very specific about the modern newspaper comics landscape (I was more general in an earlier version of the post, but then I was like, 'well, I don't want to have to carve out exceptions for Little Lefty and various others' and reworded things). It's no longer a vibrant and healthy industry, frankly. It only totters forwards on creaking legs now and then, when it absolutely must, and for all the great stuff that does get put out today, it's still held back by not just a dying medium, but an aging readership that seems absurdly resistant to the idea of change (just look at Mark Trail running under Jams for so long, even after an article about the loving cave arc, or Funky Winkerbean getting poo poo for suggesting that sex might be going on). It's not that you can't do something within the newspaper comic industry, it's that it's not in a position to encourage or nurture it.

I take the view that one of the most inherently human things is the deep instinct to tell and listen to stories. So much of our art is storytelling. We crave it. Originally it was all oral storytelling, but we've created novels, and theatre, and movies, and television, and video games, and yeah, comics. Sometimes they're serious, sometimes they're humorous, there are as many reasons to tell stories as there are types of stories, but we just seem to crave stories, as a species. There's no reason you can't tell a good story in the medium of a daily comic strip. There's a few strips in this thread that do a good job of it, I think. That is such a rare thing, though. It's easier, I guess, for the thousandth strip of Garfield hating Mondays or Dagwood making a big sandwich. It's shallow and meaningless, but it brings in money. All that wasted potential. I think it's kind of sad.
