Does anyone know anything about Qrais exhibitions? I've been following him on twitter for a while and he keeps coming out with installation art projects like this one: https://twitter.com/hobo_nichiyobi/status/1530164702416113666?s=20&t=uP84UKio3RGWesvvbcqYMw quote:Tomorrow, we are ready to welcome you to the "Qrais Noe Exhibition" starting on Saturday, May 28th.

Good to see that literally nothing has changed about the Dems in 20 years. e: Also wow Legend of Bill is just as dull and lazy as Intelligent Life, I can only assume he's getting a big fat paycheck from some company that thinks he appeals to that sweet nerd demographic because he sure doesn't seem to be doing it for the love of the craft. I don't like Reddick's stuff but it's more of a benign "This poo poo sucks" rather than infuriating like Mark Trail or Luann. e2: Goddammit it's Legend of Bill, not Dave the Barbarian, he probably ripped it off for Legend of Bill like how he ripped off Family Guy for Intelligent Life, though.

Vargo posted:Heart of the City Heart has really been growing on me, even if I don't love the art style. I think it models really great behaviors, conflict resolution, and being able to be open and honest with friends/family etc. Like the way the mom and daughter talk to each other or the thing happening in today's strip. Especially in light of how badly Mary Worth handles that kind of poo poo (although I do know they have different target audiences).

Yeah, none of this makes sense. Maybe this isn't the Street Sweeper, but instead a co-conspirator in a mask in a convoluted plan to get the police after the Street Sweeper for kidnapping apparent criminals. The "Take a criminal hostage at gunpoint with police witnesses, and manage to escape" portion seems particularly risky.

Medenmath posted:I like when these kinds of groups have very stupid costumes, so at least you know they're monstrous dipshits from a mile away. Although I have heard that part of the point is to prevent people taking them too seriously as a threat. I don't really think that works once they've developed a reputation though. It’s Saint Marinus himself. Foster left the N out of his name for some reason. Also, Wikipedia says he was dead 200 years by this time….

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Probably. I think I've read that the cartoonist who wrote Annie was pretty right wing. Harold Gray was pretty right-wing in the same way a blast furnace is slightly warm, but he'd been dead for eleven years at this point. These strips are a bit of a surprise to me because the other Annie strips I've seen from Leonard Starr were more straight adventure stuff, with less political ranting than Gray. But I suppose "that darn gubberment can't keep up with private enterprise" is a trope that always sells.

 don Jaime posted:It’s Saint Marinus himself. Foster left the N out of his name for some reason. Also, Wikipedia says he was dead 200 years by this time…. That does make sense! I just saw the name difference and and failed to make the connection. The date being wrong isn't that weird in a story that has Muslims ruling Palestine ~120 years before Muhammad was born. Selachian posted:Harold Gray was pretty right-wing in the same way a blast furnace is slightly warm, but he'd been dead for eleven years at this point.

But I suppose "that darn gubberment can't keep up with private enterprise" is a trope that always sells. I'm going to guess that there's something wrong and Warbucks' message never got to whoever he sent it to. He mentioned that a few months had gone by and he hadn't received any response at all, which seems at least to me like there's supposed to be something fishy going on, maybe related to the new employee he doesn't trust. I feel like if the idea were just the government being incompetent he would have said they had refused his offer. Green Intern posted:I never get tired of cyborg romance. Also I guess we have a ghost. Someone had suggested that he had responded to her, but I felt that panel was worded ambiguously so this lines up with that. I'm glad she's not "real" or whatever because otherwise he's been very rudely ingoring her.

Green Intern posted:Chiming in to say that I really hate this I teach high schoolers. I'm a fairly laid-back and personable teacher; I get along well with most of my students. That said, I don't think any of them would imagine inviting me to a graduation party and I wouldn't imagine accepting. The issues of professionalism and just general "adulting" don't seem to matter to Les though.

But I suppose "that darn gubberment can't keep up with private enterprise" is a trope that always sells. I'm looking at that new assistant and hoping this isn't a "ethnics sabotaging capitalism" storyline. Or maybe I'm reading too much into "you're in charge of hiring but... I hope he went through the usual security clearance" and Warbucks would have been just as guarded about any new guy and I should stop trying to figure out if that hair and pointy nose are supposed to suggest something. Eh, I'm definitely overthinking this, regardless of whether it turns out to be right.
