Whether it's smug moralizing or Les' triumph, Funky is going to be absolutely insufferable; worse than the kid gloves treatment of Wilbur. It occurs to me that Batiuk is somewhat similar to Scott Adams: both received a lot of praise back in the day for their cartooning - Adams for capturing corporate bullshit so well in Dilbert, and Baituk for handling a difficult subject like cancer with sensitivity. Both allowed that praise to go to their heads, but that's where the similarities end. As far as I know, Batiuk isn't a smug chud who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, but he is completely up his own rear end with the interminable "comic book inside baseball" and "Les wallowing in self-pity" story lines.

There's no world where it gets a surprise nomination though, where it wasn't on the SAG award list first. Also, it either has an Oscar nomination or is up for an Oscar. Every film that was produced in the year is 'up for an Oscar nomination'.

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. I’m leaning towards both actually: she won’t get the award BUT she’ll stop Les as he’s huffing and puffing about it to give him a personal speech of what she WOULD have said if she won. Which is all about him and Lisa, ofc.

I can't believe the answer really was "the window is closed." That's dumb even by EB standards. Or maybe I am not remembering the old stories as well as I think. Pastry of the Year posted:Tina's Groove Classic (April 6, 2010) JethroMcB posted: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.

"You were nominated for best supporting actress." "But I was the central character!" "No, everyone from the production we spoke to agreed that was the ghost, who was probably just possessing your body anyway. Your nomination is mostly a test case for if a deepfake face and voice on an another actor's body was nominated for an award - largely for the physical performance - who would win?"

Do the creators of The Phantom miss the old days when comics artists had space and time to create, before the comics page was 18 shrunk-down strips on one page? Or is their contract up when this storyline ends, and they're pulling some Arabian Nights shenanigans?

I think DePaul likes to troll his readers/syndicate from time to time. He's pulled this poo poo before with e.g. the "Phantom gets locked in a cage with a lion" storyline and the "Phantom gives some lady a tour of his treasure cave" storyline.

The club's namesake was a WW1 aviator/writer had lost his life in '35 during a test flight.
