I'm kind of curious how voter rolls, or taxes, or inheritance works for prey species since they are frequently murdered. It seems like it'd be impossible to keep up with all of it. Bibliotechno Music posted:Life in Hell This is one you already posted a couple of days ago.

Do any of you regular posters have any tips for a cheap and easy way of scanning cartoons out of a book? I think I have something for the thread but it's all in print form.

Kevin and Kell does remind me that the worst part of the Purge movies would be the day after the Purge, and realizing all your coworkers were killed or in the hospital recovering, so now you have extra work to do.

Tiggum posted:I've never understood why people do this. Leftovers are great. It's the same food you enjoyed before, but with much less effort. Depending on what it is, it might not be as good after being refrigerated and reheated, but it'll be fine - and it's all ready to go! I love having leftovers. Well, that and some people not realizing it's allowed to reheat things in the oven if it's texturally better that way. E: or just freeze it if it's too much for you to eat before it spoils! There's a billion things you can do instead of throwing out perfectly good food. Haifisch fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Aug 22, 2022 |

It was a different time and place but, based on my highscool experience, these nerds are dramatically overestimating the influence of the student council.

The way I do it, and I think it's obvious considering the quality, is photo with my phone, how's via Google Images and adjust as required through Photo and Photo3d. I am not a good comic-scanning person.

Haifisch posted:Some people have a really strange aversion to eating something more than once in the same year. At least that's the most sense I've been able to make of it. The boken isn't "leftovers are bad", it's "people having intention of eating leftovers, forgetting about it until it becomes inedible and not learning from it".

Weembles posted:Do any of you regular posters have any tips for a cheap and easy way of scanning cartoons out of a book? I use a cheap document scanner I got at Walmart years ago, and when I scan I weigh the book down with some paperbacks to make sure I get the page as flat as possible. Samovar's suggestion of just using a phone cam is probably all you need though. I should add again that the books I'm getting Prince Valiant from are the excellent Fantagraphics collections, and I urge anyone who has been enjoying the strip to buy a few if they can. They are beautiful oversized collections and have some extra art and articles that I have been excluding so that anyone who buys some has extra content to look forward to. Vintage Valiant (Nov. 16, 1952)    Arn isn't big enough to be a true badass yet, but he's trying.

What a wonderful Valiant strip.  The one thing you think might save you from Boltar, being on horseback and out of range, and he just hurls his axe into a man's chest or worse. Boltar knocks at any range!riderchop posted:Classic Arlo and Janis (September 14, 2000) I sincerely think that sharing the top 3 with Prince Valiant, Arlo and Janis may be the best strip in the thread. Just doing everything right so consistently, gut laugh punchlines, wonderful characterization and across decades of gag a day! Jucika "414 - Jucika And The Hidden Gift"  "415 - Jucika At A B.Y.O.B. Party"

I think this is just a one-off, not a sign of a permanent change. Macanudo does that sometimes. But you can be sure that the quality is always consistent(ly terrible)!
