I've thought of the worst-case scenario for Funky Winkerbean's current Oscar arc. Marianne has been nominated, and we get a week or two of her in disbelief that it's happened. Mason reassures her that Lisa's Story is Very Important. He calls Les and tells him it's in the running. She's getting all geared up for the event, when she feels a pain in her chest. A doctor confirms that the cancer has returned, worse than ever. This is another week or two of strips. Unable to make it to the event because of an emergency procedure, she gives her seat to Les, because after all, it's his story about his dead saint of a wife. When Marianne wins the Oscar for best Dead Wife Story, Les goes up to accept it on her behalf. He barely mentions Marianne's name and just talks about his dead wife. This takes another week.

Considering that Les's proposal to Cayla was a walking tour of all the important locations in his relationship with Lisa, that scenario is depressingly plausible.

Dethany please you know so many people in newspaper comics, unite with them and just throw off your chains, seize the means of production I beg of you, you can even use those useless chumpwads from Intelligent Life if it ends all of this suffering.

I don't know what it is, but something about the way words are bolded in Mary Worth comes off as odd to me. Rex Morgan does the same thing, but somehow it's less noticeable there.

Holbrook seems like a super nice dude who is very accepting and on the right side of history regarding social issues but holy gently caress his characters and stories are just awful. I think catlord is right that he's going to have been turned into a mouse and will realize what it feels like to feel scared, defenseless, etc., and will learn empathy. And that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's the fact that he was turned into a human against his will and forced to work for magic DNA lady to get there. And the worst part is, she doesn't even say "I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to do this, I shouldn't have forced you to work for me," it's just "This isn't working out because you're too toxic." No poo poo! You do all this stuff to him and then have the nerve to be upset he's pissed off about it?Haifisch posted:Mandrake Wow, who would have guessed that Wilbur was the villain of this Mandrake story?

Giant Days x Batman John Allison's Patreon John Allison's Gumroad store Forward Slash Scare website for Allison's side comics John Allison posted:Daisy’s a lot more laissez-faire about this whole situation than you might expect. But she’s chilled out a lot since self-published Giant Days #3, you know? Maybe you don’t know. Just take it from me. I’m sure it’s nothing suspicious. I wonder what Daisy picked up in panel three. Also Allison updated his Scary-Go-Round website, which had been down for some time. Unfortunately he's not going to re-post his old comics, but it will act as a sort of hub for his various websites. It also has links to the start of all the Bad Machinery cases on GoComics.

I like the idea of living through a Batman caper through the eyes of innocent bystanders. I’m sure it’s been done in official DC comics but it’s a cute set up.
