EasyEW posted:I don't think much about Holbrook in any direction, unless the storyline coughs up something with weird, unexamined implications that is very quickly shrugged off. Which happens a lot, actually. HOOOOOO BOY EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean Ah yes, I also refer to people in the same room as me by their full names and a brief summary of their career accomplishments.

Kazinsal posted:There's another thing. Whatever you think of Bill Holbrook's cartoons, at least he isn't a bigoted shithead. F Minus Mark Trail Mary Worth "I'm glad you like them, I made 300." |The Phantom Oh come on! Pooch Cafe Rex Morgan MD Perhaps a dust pan. Andertoons May is weird timing for this joke. I wonder if it's a rerun or if Anderson just doesn't care about the time context of the gags he comes up with. He must consider it some since he usually has themes around Thanksgiving and Christmas, but maybe he doesn't care all the time.

I wonder which newspaper group wouldn't run it. It's, unfortunately, not the Washington Post Writers' Group, since the WaPo has the offending comic up on their site.

Hattie Masters posted:I hate Holbrook and everything he has created. Sometimes I will read K+K because my particular brand of dyspraxia means my brain will run on autopilot, especially if it's posted after good comics. Same, and same. I don't mind having to speed-scroll past a big block of indigestible Holbrook (well, I don't mind much), but when one of his strips is in a post with other comics that are actually good, sometimes I end up reading some of it and it makes my day worse. I'm not saying I think Holbrook's comics shouldn't be posted here, as much as I would like it if they weren't; I just think they should be treated like the terrible strips they are and quarantined from things that people would actually enjoy.

It just showed up on Twitter for me because apparently he's trying to spin newspapers not running it as because he's introducing a black character. Wow, what an absolute disgusting creature Adams is.

I think New Nancy's South Elementary Kid may be a contender for the clunkiest writing in the thread, even accounting for banished all stars like 9CL. "I'm the manipulative kid. Here I am being introduced manipulating people. I love manipulating people, I narrate to myself as I walk down the street alone. Wait.. have I been.. playing... dirty?!"

The Duplex I worked with a guy who actually did this. He asked the boss for a raise trying to use his years of experience as the basis for the raise. He overlooked the fact that the boss (and nearly everybody else in the company) hated working with him. The boss wished him good luck and out he went.
