Also, even if it is, it 100% will be <something> Bro.

I don't know if it's just because it was the first one I read, but none of John Allison's comics have ever grabbed me or entertained me quite as much as Bad Machinery. They're all just fine or pretty good, and they all have occasionally brilliant humor, but Bad Machinery is the one that sticks with me. I guess some of Steeple is pretty up my alley too, but I feel like it has different aims and excels at different kinds of stories.

I've had this thought recently too and it really feels like your fave of his comics is whichever one you read first. Similarly yea, I like the Bad Machinery crew best cuz they were the first ones I encountered here.

Payndz posted:I'm really struggling to work out what's happened to the guy with glasses' body in the third panel. Is he Plastic Man? Shai-Hulud? He's crouching behind a rock and the linework is kind of light. Here's a very quick and sloppy edit:  edit: unless you mean the blob to his right, in which case I think it's just his black suit blending into shadow?

Wow - Oliver Harrington is by far the most artistic "comic artist" (it doesn't seem right to call him that somehow), you could put almost any of his comics on the wall as art - in all of his comics he makes a character study of everyone in the frame, in this case to disturbing and important effect.

I guess you could say this about basically any clothing Lindsfarne wears but the swimsuit especially stands out as a "how the gently caress would she actually put this on" situation.

Yeah, it's why I can't really get into the later Lottie stories as much. I find myself missing Shauna and the boys.

I feel like the Phantom is doing a thing that Mookie is doing right now where it's doing recaps, having nothing happen, then more recaps, then something happens that implies that things are going to start moving forward, but then the plot pauses because he isn't sure what to do next.

Vintage Valiant (Jun 03, 1951)   I'm not entirely sure I agree with Val's strategy of insulting the kid until he cries it out so he'll accept the suggestion of a career change.
