TegneHanne Pizza Grandiosa is a norwegian frozen pizza and it is both loved and hated in Norway. Eating it is something you feel deeply shameful about and yet you know you it won't be the last time you do it.. L-Innsikt

IMO the new style is much better (still not good). The faces actually look cartoony instead of just traced.

I am a big supporter of barefoot living, the only things I care about stepping on are broken glass, metal scraps and needles. But I live in the UK, our nature is docile and borderline comatose.CommonShore posted:I don't like this new style here - is it permanent? I liked the early ones for their ersatz shitpost qualities. I agree with this. I didn't like it much in the first place and now it looks worse. Another one added to the mental skip over list.

But I live in the UK, our nature is docile and borderline comatose. Weather permitting, I prefer to do my walks in the forest preserve barefoot. It's really nice, and it actually helps a lot with a top-of-the-foot ache I was starting to get. (I'm in the US, but no, hookworm is not a concern unless you're in an area of nightmarish poverty where raw sewage just gets dumped out on the ground.)

ellie the beep posted:same here; i started following the thread again a few months ago and while its taken me a bit to grok the john allison strip bonanza where it switches storylines every couple days i at least am starting to get an idea of three or four sub-stories, but whatever blind alley is parses as incomprehensibly as frank bolle's apartment 3g My problem with Blind Alley's mystery is it feels like wheel spinning It genuinely doesn't feel like it's going anywhere and there's nothing to hook onto to like, imagine how it might go somewhere. There's...robot birds that show stuff and...............weird dreams..........and...........vague off screen stuff about the town that everyone goes oh no i have to tell everyone about it. Nothing feels connected and movement is minimal. There's slow burn mystery and then there's this. The actual unrelated weird slice of life is mostly fine, I like the little arc with the not-Ness kid.

You know, Heart may not be good in the setting up and executing a joke or any kind of narrative tension department, but putting a casual mom/daughter period chat in the newspapers counts for something.

His Divine Shadow posted:I am diabetic and I've used exercise to lower my glucose more than once, so I don't really see the problem based on this description? I think we were foolishly hoping he'd suffer some more drastic consequences for his actions of "being told he's diabetic and needs to cut down lovely foods so he downs a huge gently caress off size milkshake and burger" than just "oop he got sleepy." I might be remembering wrong but I atleast wanted more consequences cuz Buck sucks. Not Wilbur level but sucks atleast as much as Rex does.

rannum posted:My problem with Blind Alley's mystery is it feels like wheel spinning  It's been posted for what, a year? And so far it's been all foreshadowing and no payoff. I still read it because the slice of life stuff is cute, but the rest of it feels like the author had the broad strokes of an idea and figured they'd figure out the rest later(and never did).

I might be remembering wrong but I at least wanted more consequences cuz Buck sucks. Not Wilbur level but sucks at least as much as Rex does. Thank you for explaining it better than I could. The whole was handled in such an over-the-top, hamfisted way (like, the writers were practically guaranteeing things would end badly the way they were foreshadowing everything), but Buck never did really have any serious repercussions.

Yeah, Blind Alley has us sold on the setting and the cast. Now do something with it, please! And if it must go in circles at least focus on the Vampire, the best and most delightful of the Blind Alleys. Jucika "304 - Jucika At Last Heats Up!"  "305 - Jucika Doesn't Do Spring"

How to tell the "geeky" and "in with the hip tech crowd" cartoonist last paid attention to anything in 1982: he name drops Bill Gates as a reference two hip tech kids would be into ITYOOL 2022. Who the gently caress has even thought of Bill Gates in the last 20 years?
