I confess there are a few I don't read... but I couldn't say anything that I really dislike, besides from Holbrook's stuff. Anyway, onto today's extended Blueberry: Blueberry repeats his trick when he was being pursued by Quanah... but with more respect to the surrounding geography, or Looks like O'Bannion won't be getting upset at anyone ever again..., or Blueberry's pride is gonna be his downfall...     And... so ends the adventure of the Ghost Tribe! But Blueberry's story isn't over - not yet... join us next time when we meet an old 'friend' in... The Last Card!  Well, at least Blueberry seems to be enjoying himself!

Powered Descent posted:Genuine question: do schoolkids even have paper textbooks anymore? I kind of figured nowadays they'd each have a laptop and maybe a tablet. Depends on the school system, I guess. My nephew in Wisconsin is in 5th grade, and she has enough text books that she needs two backpacks to carry them home on bad homework days.

Strontium posted:Macanudo I think the difference is that BCN feels like Georgia Dunn is just that way naturally(and has actual plots and jokes and stuff), while Macanudo feels like it's focused grouped to appeal to grandmas who want to feel whimsical but can't handle reading an actual joke. Also add Reddick and Batiuk to the list, for being so bad that I forget they exist unless someone else brings them up. 2018 Spiderman  1980 comics  I'm also adding Annie to my least favorite comics list and I'm the one posting it(until this storyline finally ends, in probably 6 months because they really enjoy making sure nothing happens except a parade of racial stereotypes).

Here's an entire category of stuff I don't read: anything that gets posted in huge batches like this. I realise that, objectively, it's not actually a lot to read, but it feels like it is and I can't do it.Haifisch posted:I think the difference is that BCN feels like Georgia Dunn is just that way naturally(and has actual plots and jokes and stuff), while Macanudo feels like it's focused grouped to appeal to grandmas who want to feel whimsical but can't handle reading an actual joke.

I like the art in Macanudo; it reminds me of illustrations in a children's book. It's a shame it never really has anything to say though.

Hattie Masters posted: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? I just went through the OP and mine are Ernie Pook’s Comeek: I thought it was called Marlys? Grotesque. The Good Innvandrer: This reads more to me like a false flag about how lazy immigrants are. Macanudo: Neither smart nor funny. Mutts: Stupid and bizarre. Rhymes With Orange: Almost always fails to deliver a joke. Even if we ignore the weird first panel "gag". Everything else is good. I didn't check who posts what, so apologies if it looks like I'm ragging on anyone's product. I appreciate everyone who goes through the chore of posting comic strips. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 11:56 on Aug 18, 2022 |

Have to admit that my eyes slide right past the vast majority of the pre-WW2 stuff and the  strips like Marlys, but I wouldn't say I actively dislike them; they're just not interesting to me. The only outright unwelcome regulars from both an art and writing perspective are the barbarian thing and its nerds-in-the-workplace companion, which are barely above Ctrl-Alt-Del levels of lazy and unfunny.

These are the strips I dislike the most. There's something about them that makes them feel like they were designed by committee. They give the impression that the person or people behind them consider them as products rather than as art. Vintage Valiant (Oct. 26, 1952)

Blueberry is fine the way it is. Breaking it up into semi-coherent chunks won’t make it any more accessible.

Bill is funny only for the time Reddick shamelessly had his Intelligent Life character dress up as him, and go to Dethany's* Halloween party, leading to Holbrook having to write dialogue pretending he knew what the hell the reference was *from 'On The Fastrack'!
