y'know. i'd like to say "what is wrong with you people". but then i remembered i was also a college student sharing a quad with three other people + a few significant others and i would've sooner jumped out the window to my death than talk to them about an annoying thing they were doing. doubly so if that thing had had anything to do with the sex they were having.

The Mary Worth thing is baffling because it’s not any more work to show Ian having the conversation than it is to have Toby describe it. Maybe Ian could have even needed Mary Worth’s advice about confronting his old ex, and his guilt that has been inflamed by her recent behavior.

The level of crime the Street Sweeper deals with seems like he's going to start actually sweeping litter off the street soon.

Slammy posted:
At some point So It Seems became the old timey comic I look forward to the most. Always gets a chuckle and I love his expressions. Selachian posted:Rhymes with Orange I also enjoy Rhymes with Orange a lot, especially as far as single panel gag a days go, but...I know we've talked about how the title panel's joke is weirdly placed but out of curiosity is this a comic where they truncate stuff? Like is there a version of this strip in papers or whatever where the title card doesnt always run, like how Sundays will sometimes trip the top 3

Murdstone posted:Mary Worth This is what makes Mary Worth such a consistently infuriating script: either it's drawing out an off-screen resolution for a week that is going to turn out to be accurate (terrible writing), OR we're getting strung along for an entire week before the inevitable rugpull (wasting the reader's time.) quote:I love to imagine the marketing meeting when they came up with "Slam Evil!" Fun trivia about the Phantom movie - Joe Dante was originally slated to direct it, and worked with the screenwriter to come up with a big, bombastic, borderline spoof take on the 30's pulp hero movies that were flourishing in the wake of Batman's success (Think in-line with what Dante did with Gremlins 2.) Paramount delayed the movie, and Dante dropped out to move on to other projects...only to later learn that the studio hired journeyman director Simon Wincer, who was shooting the existing comedic screenplay as a straight-ahead action movie. (The studio had made changes to the script, but only in order to cut out a few of the more expensive SFX setpieces.) "Slam Evil!" feels like exactly what you come up with when you've been tasked with selling a fiasco like that.

Samovar posted:...are there any records of Pal's other works beyond the first pic you have there? Unfortunately there's only limited mention of Pal, primarily by what seem to be scans of Ludas Matyi that took the internet by storm by total memetic luck. Here's one of the rarer overviews I could find if I google "Iván és Joe", which also yields example strips in the GIS. Jucika was briefly popular enough to get a few passionate translators, finding Ivan and Joes getting the same treatment seems too big an ask. Which is a shame as I'd totally buy big hardback collections of Pal's work in a heartbeat! Maybe if there's a community of eastern European comic diehards? You'd need somebody holding 70+ year old print comics, or maybe getting lucky and there were collection prints over there. Doomykins fucked around with this message at 16:45 on May 5, 2022 |

Murdstone posted:Mary Worth I know how foolish it is to hope for things in Mary Worth, but my heart really, really wants this to be the lead-up to a storyline about Ian cheating on his wife with his ex-student. It would be the most soap-opera a soap-opera strip has been in, like, a century.
