Alhazred posted:So, I'm having some problems getting this strip. There's a part of the population that's legally entitled to eat another part of the population and everyone is okay with this arrangement? Also everyone's life revolves around eating and having babies and that seems to be the only thing that matters.

Tiggum posted:That's not showing or telling. "Show, don't tell" means that instead of, for example, saying in narration that two characters are friends, you just have them interact in a way that makes it obvious. It doesn't mean you don't convey the information, it just means to use the story to explain the setting and characters to the reader rather than infodumping. I'm aware, thank you,  but my flippant and nonsensical ranting(and misuse of terms) was about how Blind Alley has done a nice job of showing us many things and building up a mystery and is now just spinning its wheels. It's actually perfectly in vogue for the author to just give us an info dump about what is going on at this point and I wanted to mock the strip for going almost too hard with the misconception that "you should ALWAYS Show, Don't Tell." Sometimes you gotta tell.What's the deal with the robot birds? What's in the hobo kid's hobo sack? Why are dogs and kids running around/dreaming and going GASP, OH NO, NOT THAT? Where are the adults? What is Blind Alley? Will Ness learn Psi Rockin α? Doomykins fucked around with this message at 12:43 on Jun 5, 2022 |

Haraiso Days  I have to admit that a lot of what I love about Maruoka Kuzo is that we all know, immediately, pretty much exactly how this story is going to pan out. Q-Rais Talks to Himself  #3: Chicken-chup Bento   (ChaCha Wars poster at the video store.) And this was before the pandemic, even. Kin Dza Dza is what looks like a pretty dang interesting Soviet science fiction movie, which has a bit of a cult following in Japan at least.

howe_sam posted:I'm thinking of that time in SGR when Ryan gets "killed" by Eisegesis so he can see his murdered French girlfriend again. Only she's turned into a skellington which Ryan isn't into at all. So more of a Flatliners experience than a true death, but close enough. My mistake! I'd forgotten about that storyline (to be honest I've forgotten about a lot of SGR stories since they are often not as focused as Allison's later work). Also Allison mentioned on his Twitter and Patreon that he's still working on The Great British Bump Off, a mystery story starring Lottie and Claire that he teased in 2021 at the end of the Circus Windows story. It's up to over 100 pages however so he probably won't release it as a webcomic.

Wow I feel really bad that a sentient being I know has to watch a representation of itself be beaten mercilessly. Oooh, it was filled with candy! Whew, glad that distracted me, that was a close one, I almost had to reexamine my way of life and our planet's society as a whole.
