Batiuk has good timing for once. With The Power of the Dog leading in nominations, Lisa's Story getting recognized doesn't seem all that outrageous.

gleebster posted:I haven't been reading Little Lefty because the first story was about racial integration and Ralph Ellison got to me first when it comes to Stalinists and that subject. This seems like a really weird thing to hold against Little Lefty given that literally every other thirties comic in this thread that so much as references black people is spoilered for using offensive caricatures.

EasyEW posted:I'm not going to be able to do a full post tonight, but you really should see this anyway. Marianne was the actor who almost committed suicide over an inaccurate gossip story, right? And then, thanks to her playing Saint Lisa, she quickly discovered she had cancer herself that was quickly ripped out. She’s up for an Oscar, she’s gonna win it, and she’ll spend her entire speech thanking Les Moore. There, I’ve finished your story for you Baituk, where’s my check?

I purposely pay as little attention to the TomBat comics as possible while reading the thread, and I still had an involuntary "oh gently caress you" at today's strip. I really have to echo what someone said earlier: who is Funky Winkerbean for anymore, besides its creator? As much as I think Crankshaft is smug, insufferable boomer-brain nonsense, I know there's at least an audience for that. I'm not sure who gets up in the morning excited to read the continual bumbling through the tedious greatest-hits carousel of cancerwife/lovely comic creators/pizzaghost that is FW.

Darthemed posted:Retail I had exactly this happen when I worked at a big box store, and I don't think in all the time I worked retail, I ever had a customer more furious at me than when I said no. And then my manager said no, and they got more furious. And then the general manager said no, and they threatened bodily harm. It's the only time I ever saw a customer escorted out of the store for anything besides shoplifting.

El Spamo posted:There is no existing universe where they did a sufficient amount of butt-kissing to get a nomination Ehh, the nomination is the most believable part of the whole thing. If those "Anonymous Academy Voter's Ballot" features that entertainment blogs/the trades routinely publish are any indication, a totally down-the-middle cancer drama that simply got DVDs into the hands of the finicky old cranks that vote could easily coast to a few nominations. (See this one where a finicky old crank insists that Parasite shouldn't have been nominated for Best Picture alongside "regular films," which is just the tip of the iceberg on their bad opinions.) Green Intern posted:So we either get Les Moore's greatest triumph, having his wife immortalized in cinema forever, or a lot of smug moralizing after the fact when this lady is passed over for some other less-worthy performance. It's almost certainly going the smug moralizing route, though I could also see the outcome where she wins and spends her entire speech (which takes a week of strips) thanking Lisa for literally saving her life while Les Moore sits in the audience making the same goddamn "smug, but depressed" expression he always does.
