Thanks for posting Chacha and Chako, very excellent.rannum posted:"So is she just going around killing everyone who wronged her??? I shoudl have freed her montsh ago mozz!" It's taking him months to get to the point but I wager the military that dude was part of is going to send a really pissed and heavy handed group of soldiers in to express their dissatisfaction.

Mark Trail tries so hard to be decent and one day it could get there but the dual narration boxes are just murder and such a clear sign of rushing or lack of confidence. All you had to do was draw Mark grimacing juxtaposed to the monkey on the phone..! Like cripes, is it just to cover negative space in a hurry?

What the hell? He brought two guns to do the shooting? So his plan was: 1: Shoot the comedian with the first gun. Put it back in his pocket. 2. Throw the second gun on the floor using a napkin or something so fingerprints don't get on it, as a decoy. 3. Keep hand in pocket for no good reason, Idaville PD won't check for gun residue on your hands, or search you. 4. If all goes south, shoot Encyclopedia Brown. With him dead, they'll never solve the mystery and you can just walk out.

Poil posted:In the first three panels she's wearing a dress underneath but in the fourth it's suddenly bra and skirt? In the comic before this one Liz says that that girl is wearing a see-through top and that everyone can see her bra. So it's supposed to be a bra and skirt, I just don't know if Lynn Johnston thought she wouldn't be able to get it past the editors if it looked more like a bra, if she didn't want to draw a middle (high?) school girl in just a bra and skirt, or if it's just lazy art. Took me a moment to realize what he was doing here, and Marla has the right response, that's hosed up. Murdstone posted:Rex Morgan MD I agree with that one poster who said it was actually pretty funny when Belluso left and the guy just said "I'm not even a lawyer" and if it had been left at that it would have been good, but loving hell this is just insufferable. Also this still doesn't make any goddamn sense! Did Belluso just send the Morgans a regular rear end letter in the mail saying "Give me money plz or I sue you"? He would have had to hire an actual loving lawyer to like, you know, threaten a lawsuit, or demand a settlement. So why didn't he just bring that lawyer? Why just grab a dude off the street and say "Pretend to be a lawyer"? Con men are actually supposed to be, you know, skilled at conning people. I hate this loving comic strip jesus christ.

You don't need a lawyer for any of that stuff. An hour on the Internet will give you enough boilerplate to send all sorts of legal threats to people and even file complaints in court. You *ought* to get a lawyer if you don't want to make a fool of yourself, of course. I don't think Belluso was serious about actually taking it to court, though. The plot seems to be implying that he just wanted to pressure Rex into settling out of court and just brought in the actor to apply a little extra pressure when he thought he had the upper hand.

Dustin is so bad that half a dozen people were able to come up with half a dozen different leaps in logic that the strip had to make just to set up a single very tepid "joke."TyrsHTML posted:what extra projects? she's a radio talk show host. She, uh...[tries to remember some "Frasier" storylines]...had to fill in for Bulldog?

Wifey not paying the bills is just one more inconvenience this long-suffering old man has to put up with. He seems like the type who would tell her he was fine with her waiting to do the ironing till she was out of her sickbed, then wonder why she wasn't grateful.

I'm surprised that turbo boomer that Ed is, he would allow his wife to handle the finances. Especially when I know we've seen a bunch of "women be shoppin." strips in the past. Pick a loving lane you caveman - Either your wife handles the money, in which case you don't really get to bitch about how it gets spent (or not in this case), or do it your drat self.

Yeah, I'm not enough of a cook to be able to figure out what those chicken strips are correctly called in English - in Japanese (or at least in Maruoka's recipes) they're just called "chicken tenders" regardless of how you cook them, and a quick google search suggested the name could apply to just the cut of meat. Uramachi Sakaba: This one's an unusual 3 pages long, so I'll post them together.    Night Visitors  Next is Q-Rais' Mokke's Calamity, a short (we'll be done in a week) quarantine project, that you could probably subtitle "Quarantine Depression Comix":

Being able to bitch about it is exactly why he has her do it rather than taking care of it himself. He doesn't want things to go well, he wants to bitch.

Murdstone posted:Maybe it's just me but I think people might be put off by the idea of boiling it. When I went to tokyo I asked a friend who had family there what's the one thing that I should know or watch out for that I wasn't going to find out from travel guides or whatever and she told me "Don't order the chicken." Which I thought was kind of weird at the time but after two weeks in Japan I was really hungry for some good chicken and I eat plenty of food at japanese restaurants in california that have chicken and I want to tell you I've never eaten anything from a restaurant anywhere that tasted so bad as what I got.
