Bernice doesn't want to listen to the dumb tape and also doesn't talk like a normal person.

Doomykins posted:I noticed 1-2 of the last few weeks had detailed art in almost every panel, so it's a curious pattern. As most of my theories of Mark Trail being awful are related to inability to handle a daily deadline I do wonder what the approach is. I've heard of many comic artists who do huge batches of comics months in advance. Hell, the thread jokes about Batiuk having a 6 month pick up time of current trends.

Payndz posted:I very nearly had a gig as a daily cartoonist for the London newspaper Metro (they commissioned me before it launched in 1999, but about a week before the first issue they changed their minds and dropped me - don't know what they went with instead as I don't live in London, so never saw the paper), and had built up 9 or 10 weeks of strips in advance. The only comic I remember ever seeing in Metro is Nemi, so I guess maybe they decided they didn't need an in-house cartoon?

"But it will still take a lot of case opening to get those to everyone." "Well, I have this other case, that generates cases that produce never-ending salad bowls." "But you'll have to open that case a lot of times." "And then there's this case, that generates self-opening cases, that generate cases that generate never-ending salad bowls." "WAIT, DON'T OPEN THAT--"

Which plan is stupider, Gunk’s salad bowl/case combo or deliberately pissing off Val, Aleta, Boltar, Tillicum, and the king all at the same time?

They have discovered infinite arbitrary matter generation as long as you describe it in terms of a salad. A chicken salad for vegans, replacing the chicken chunks with platinum. Coca leaves with opium poppy seeds. Plutonium 238 on a bed of watercress.

A+J live in Alabama or thereabouts, and according to Wikipedia quote:In Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Texas,liquor stores are also known as package stores I'm also surprised they don't have any rum. Arlo strikes me as a Tiki drink kind of guy.

They are Gulf Coast adjacent. Alabama, Mississippi, or Georgia.

My wife is from SC, where their state stores all have three big red dots on the building for some reason, so even though we don't live there calling them "red dots" stuck in our house.

I asked this a couple years ago now, but I am interested to see how things have changed: We talk a lot about favourite comics and what we love about them, but what are people's Least Favourites? Which ones do you wish were scoured from the face of the earth? Personally, I despise everything that has ever come out of the pen of Holbrook. Every time I read one of his insipid, stupid comics I wish the man would lose his hands in a tragic woodchipper accident. I also hate Overboard, but that's because of a violent allergy to Twee. EDIT: Tiggum posted:If anyone says anything other than 9 Chickweed Lane, there's something wrong with them. okay yeah that's true but it's not posted here any more so I had blissfully forgotten about it until you reminded me, you bastard Hattie Masters fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Aug 17, 2022 |
