Vintage Valiant (Dec. 11, 1949)   Once again I feel Foster is spoiling the surprise in his "Next Week" blurb, but here's the uncensored version if you can't wait until tomorrow.

EasyEW posted:Sally Forth One of the things I appreciate about Sally Forth is that Ces frequently seems like he knows what it's like to have an actual goddamn job in 2022, as opposed to this poo poo: Kennel posted:Dustin Murdstone posted:So because of the Will Henry interview I went ahead and joined Jens K Styve's Patreon and I'll give Dunce a try for a little while and see if I like it. I assume it's OK to post it here since we've been getting Crabgrass the same way, but if it's not cool let me know and I'll stop. Anyways if you want to support it too the link's up there! I'm not saying to stop, I can't make that call, but I do want to point out that this isn't true. Crabgrass was posted openly and publicly on GoComics, Tauhid posted extra strips like Crabgrass: The Teen Years on Patreon, and we all kind of agreed not to post that. Personally my feelings are that if it's behind an artist-enforced paywall like Patreon then we should leave it alone. Syndicate paywalls are a greyer matter. I don't know what the thread rule/consensus is, I just didn't want us to cite Crabgrass as precedent when it's not. Breaking Cat News  Phoebe and Her Unicorn  Wallace the Brave  Curtis  What an incredible stretch to go nowhere.

It's generic 80s anime cyberpunk markings. Might be a scar, might be a tattoo, might be cybernetic augments but every other person in a cyberpunk setting has one.

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:I spent a long time designing that WPBSA logo. The real one looked like clip art. My new one is almost pagan in its power. also, turns out Saoshyant started a John Allison thread in these forums about two weeks ago and I just noticed yesterday (that's what I get for only looking at my subscribed threads). Don't know if I'll keep posting in this thread as it seems kind of silly to have the comic in two places on this forum.

Crabgrass was posted openly and publicly on GoComics, Tauhid posted extra strips like Crabgrass: The Teen Years on Patreon, and we all kind of agreed not to post that. Looking into it, it seems it is printed in papers in Norway, but I don't know if those are publicly available. quote:Newspapers and magazines that are now running the Dunce strip: Klassekampen, Dagbladet, Bergens Tidende, Adresseavisen, Stavanger Aftenblad, Fedrelandsvennen, Firda, Haugesunds Avis, Nordlys, iTromsø, Avisa Nordland, Tidens Krav, Harstad Tidende, Folkebladet i Troms, Altaposten, Framtid i Nord, Lunch, Pondus and Framtida Junior.

Belluso just told this guy his entire evil plan for no loving reason, this guy got out of prison and creepily tracked down the Morgans, and he has no loving proof except "I heard this guy say it." Jesus Christ, Rex Morgan is maybe not the absolute worst comic in this thread but it's really close.

This almost feels like an Encyclopedia Brown comic now. So probably what's going to happen is that they're going to test the paper and say "The paper is old but the ink isn't, proving he drew those dogs more recently" or some poo poo, which will be Belluso's undoing and the evidence beyond "Some guy said so."

Using "old paper" would make sense if the plot were about a forged medieval manuscript or something, but the drawings in question would only be a few years old. Is there even a test that could tell the difference at that scale? edit: It does occur to me that maybe they mean that Rene had old, partially used sketchbooks he could add the drawings to, which might make more sense?

Is there even a test that could tell the difference at that scale? Apparently the solvents in inks take up to two years to evaporate, and you can use a gas chromatograph to check if the ink is younger than that. Not sure what you do if they were pencil sketches, though.
