Remember the odd fixation on making oedipal Zits edits? Apparently so does the strip.

To be honest it's almost entirely a dunk on Mark Trail, which sucks

but also I do think if your chosen format is irreverent gag-a-day, visual metaphor for your emotional state or pop culture reference, that doesn't exactly qualify you for the kind of basically serious, straight-faced, storyarc-based adventure strip I personally have in mind.

You're aware that there are a lot of serious story arc based webcomics out there right

Dykes to Watch Out For #147 (1992), by Alison Bechdel

Skimping on the notes today because I got home late and I'm tired, but I think Mo is full of poo poo here. I dunno if that many goons are actually young enough to need to hear this, but 30 is nothing. In the handful of years since I turned 30 I've grown and changed in ways that I never could've in my twenties, and I'm happier and healthier than I've ever been. So Mo, go sit on an egg.

The name of the bagel shop changes between pages but if there's a joke there I don't get it.

As someone who just turned 30, I appreciate this post.

To be fair to Simpson, Raine Dog was probably the worst thing they ever did (I seem to recall their early webcomic Ozzy & Millie being ok for the most part anyway)

You're right, it's probably not fair to leave out that Dana also did stuff that wasn't as bad as her worst, but I wanted to illustrate the gulf between some of what she did before and what she does now.

Modern Kevin & Kell

Hell World has a Christian religion? Was there an animal Jesus Christ who was crucified for that world's sins? Was there an animal John the Baptist to act as Animal Jesus's hype man? Was he beheaded by an animal Herod? Do they have a 10 Commandments? Is one of those commandments Thou Shalt Not Kill?

This strip is so phobic about sex and then on the rare occasions it brings it up in a positive way it's so gross

I was wondering the other day if it was still new strips until the 80s or if it went into reruns at some point. Slammy, any idea?

From quick searches into early 80s and late 70s strips, they�re reruns. He dates them through at least 1977, but I didn�t see any I hadn�t seen before.
He�s already started repeating strips; I�m not sure if I could tell when he goes to all reruns.

Is this comic just a new art style every day now? Not that I'm complaining, that's just quite the gimmick to come up with out of nowhere at the start of a new year.

They're very flammable, but because they burn so easily and quickly the fire doesn't spread. It's like burning a single thread.
