F Minus That giant has a good suggestion. Mark Trail  Jules keeps messing with the geometry of the car. Yesterday Cricket Bro appeared to be behind and to the left of Mark (Mark's left), which was impossible since Mark is in the left-hand seat with no seat behind him (or at least no seat with a headrest), and now he's somehow in front and to the right of him, assuming Mark's in the left-most seat still, which you can't tell because you don't see Cherry or Rusty anymore.

Forum accident posted:The writing of this article was a bit pretentious, I thought, but the interviews were interesting and I especially liked this quote from the artist of Mary Worth: Yeah, that is kind of The Comics Journal’s thing. Fantastic resource, but well up its own rear end much of the time. And really, all that talk about Nancy’s gag structure subverting expectations and toying with convention had me wondering if the author and I have been reading the same strip.

No see, Nancy subverts expectations all the time. Like in the one strip* where Girl A says "I hate it when people do [thing]" and then in the last panel she does [thing]. Since she said she hated when people do it, you expected her to not do it, but then she did, subverting your expectations! * every strip

gleebster posted:I feel New Nancy is a fine successor to the original, which also had simple, repetitive gags that would-be smartypants make way too much of. Original Nancy may have had simple and similar gags but at least they weren't all exactly the same, and more importantly, original Nancy was fun. New Nancy is just oozing with cynicism and irritation. I've mentioned this before but there are so few New Nancy strips where characters are actually having fun or enjoying themselves, they're either annoyed/upset with whoever they're talking to, or just complaining about whatever. This makes it kind of a drag to read day after day because it just feels like nobody's allowed to like things in it. poo poo, even sometimes when characters are allowed to like things in it, they still aren't having fun. Look at the kid who enjoyed watching movies, every goddamn one of his strips was him trying to enjoy a movie and getting annoyed by Nancy being an rear end in a top hat. I've said before that I actually do think the Sunday Nancy strips are really good, because they're not the same joke every time, and characters actually do silly things in them sometimes. But the dailies are just loving awful 95% of the time.

new Nancy should do more visual gag strips. when i think of bushmiller nancy i think mostly about the simple visual gags, and i feel like modern Nancy doesn't do enough of them (and when it has done them, they've been good!)

Adding to that -- new Nancy is so terribly prolix! Panel after panel of characters worrying about what other people do or what they think of them. It's like "what if the cast of Seinfeld hadn't met yet and were kids so they had to think all this poo poo instead of talking it out?" Scary Gary
