Still not posting it itt, but under the present circumstances, today's 9CL could be described as an adventure in excruciatingly bad timing. If it moves you the way it moved me, be sure to act on that feeling. Mutts  Sally Forth  Peanuts (June 29, 1975)  Funky Winkerbean makes a case against writing your own vows.  Crankshaft presents your first lesson from the Walter Crankcase School of Zany Comedy Names.  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire And The Curse of Tangaroa!  Popeye

It's beginning to feel like "old IP adopted by modern webcomic artist" is one of the worse outcomes for a strip. I really need some jokes from Sunday Popeye that aren't "I've read the character wiki." It also strikes me as distinctly anti-Popeye to avoid showing action so much. Decent throwaway chuckle on the expendable first two panels at least. Jucika "300 - Jucika And The Polite People From Pest"  "Autóbusz = bus" 301 - Jucika And ''Who Knows What?''  "''Who Knows What?'' was a Hungarian talent show that ran from 1962 to 1996. Műszaki Hiba = Technical Problem Vége = End" Doomykins fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Jun 27, 2022 |

The next legacy strip in need of a reboot should be handed over to the creator of Boston and Shaun.

Bobbins John Allison posted:Shelley and Holly are clearly in the midst of a big night out. You can tell, because Shelley’s wearing a leopard-print coat. I’m not drawing that again. Assume that it’s stolen from a cloakroom sometime later in the evening.  John Allison posted:Hugo’s faithful sidekick Ronny B was never pictured face on in Scary Go Round – by his own request. He has recently relented and allowed his young likeness to be shown.

Vargo posted:Wallace the Brave Growing up I spent my summers on an island 10 miles off the coast of New Hampshire. Every week on Wednesday the ferry would bring over a load of tourists on a day trip. We savvy kids would rush out to the granite rocks with claw hammers, chip off tiny flecks of mica, sell them as "authentic Star Island mica" to the daytrippers at 50 cents a pop, then blow all our profits on candy and lime rickeys from the snack bar. It was a great racket and seeing Amelia take the fanny pack guppies like this has brought enormous joy into my day. Best comic strip character in the best strip.

Haraiso Days --  Night Visitors  I choose to read the placement of the stem in the first panel as unfortunate rather than plot-critical… Q-Rais Talks to Himself  #6: Tomato and Garlic Spaghetti   Sadly, he seems to have scrubbed this animation from YouTube.

The color scheme is a bit atrocious and I still have a hard time telling adults from children sometimes, but it's let up on the Pop Culture Fandom stuff (which has apparently upped and moved over to "Mary Worth"). I never hated it, I was just very unimpressed Zereth posted:... google is telling me this is an alcoholic mixed drink? They sold that to kids when you were a kid? There's a nonalcoholic version. Sonic Drive-Thru sells them

That strip has a lot of "immediately before" and "immediately after", but I don't think he ever actually portrays an action scene.

Zereth posted:... google is telling me this is an alcoholic mixed drink? They sold that to kids when you were a kid? These were non-alcoholic. Lime juice, sugar syrup, and seltzer, with an extra hit of raspberry syrup if you wanted. They're an old school New England thing, especially on the coast, and you can sometimes still find them at clam shacks and ice cream stands.

Stultus Maximus posted:I don't care if he blamed it on Stan Lee later on, "march the rainbow bridge to true nirvana side by side" is just loving awful. Stan Lee posted:One of the things we try to demonstrate in our yarns is that nobody is all good, or all bad. Even a shoddy super-villain can have a redeeming trait, just as any howlin’ hero might have his nutty hang-ups. One of the greatest barriers to real peace and justice in this troubled world is the feeling that everyone on the other side of the ideological fence is a “bad guy”. We don’t know if you’re a far-out radical, or Mr. Establishment himself — if you’re a black militant or a white liberal — if you’re a pantin’ protest marcher or a jolly John Bircher — but, whatever you are, don’t get bogged down by kindergarten labels! It’s time we learned how fruitless it is to think in terms of us and them — of black and white. Maybe, just maybe, the other side isn’t all bad. Maybe your own point of view isn’t the only one that’s divinely inspired. Maybe we’ll never find true understanding until we listen to the other guy; and until we realize that we can never march across the Rainbow Bridge to true Nirvana — unless we do it side-by-side!
