Weembles posted: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. Welp, I genuinely didn't know that you didn't need a lawyer to sue someone. I was going to say that if he was going to spend money anyway he might as well hire an actual lawyer, but I guess he didn't end up paying the guy he pretended to be a lawyer, which a real lawyer wouldn't have let him get away with. It's still an incredibly stupid plan because, well, of what just happened. The guy didn't get paid and so he confessed that he wasn't a lawyer. I do think you're right that Belluso's plan was to just hope that Rex would be scared of the lawsuit and settle, but everything about his plan is still incredibly stupid. I guess at best you can assume that he didn't expect Rex to countersue, he just thought Rex would go "Nope" and he'd go "Aw shucks, guess it didn't work" and that would be that. Again, if Belluso is a competent con man (and maybe he isn't, but if he isn't the comic shouldn't have loving treated him as a serious threat) he should have had a backup plan or at least left room for an unexpected response from Rex. Mister Kingdom posted:Bound and Gagged Aw gently caress I thought I recognized this art style and yep, it's Dana Summers. I guess we can add another name to the list of "Shithead chud political cartoonist with a daily comic strip side gig" alongside Mike Lester and Gary McCoy.

gently caress yeah......Mokke owns Potsticker posted: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. well!!! what did you have

The chicken was disgusting. It was weirdly rubbery and tasted like it had been cooked to the point where it had only the hint of it's normal flavor and then soaked in cold soy sauce for a week. I tried all sorts of different food while I was there and it was all fantastic otherwise.

 Oh, it's Stef. But also, yeah, Puddles is Luann's dog, sure, but that's what you always say when you get your kid a dog. He's really the family dog. And the family seems remarkably unconcerned that the dog they've been caring for since the 80's has run off and gotten picked up by some stranger.

Every antagonist in Rex has a backup plan and they all have the same one: shout "feet don't fail me now!" and exit by the nearest door (or window as Renee Belluso literally did in his first plot in the strip.)

Classic Kevin & Kell in: scientific fraud (February 20-26, 2006)       I just wanna point out that there have already been clones in this setting. For years now. Lindesfarne's stepbrother's girlfriend's stepsister has been cloned, and the clone's still around (even though she moved to New Zealand with her adoptive parents).  Seriously, they're right there. It's not like this is groundbreaking. Modern Kevin & Kell

Goddamn the faces in Val are so amazing. Look at that last panel. Val knows bullshit but he is interested too. And add me to the list of people who don't get why Rae the Doe is amazing. I mean there are some cute strips but this right now feels like the poo poo that was Jane's World when the self-insert was tossed in some movie. Last Starfighter, I think?

I purposely did not put Kelley on the list because he can't even be bothered to draw the strip, he has someone else do it for him. It's no effort to just say "Draw Dustin getting poo poo on by his hateful family" so he shouldn't get credit for it. Doomykins posted:Jucika "70 - Jucika at the Zoo" I love that lion's face.

Mikl posted:Classic Kevin & Kell in: scientific fraud (February 25, 2006) I missed this earlier but I wanted to say something about it. I don't know where this is going, but so far it looks like another example of the protagonist-centered morality Holbrook tends to like. Instead of exposing this guy and getting his fraudulent papers retracted, she seems to be holding it over him to advance her own career.
