WE'RE STILL NOT POSTING 9CL...BUT...: For those who haven't been following the strip on their own and still remember Brooke McGamsgams not being able to draw an rear end to save his life, let the record show that an attempt was made. A deeply sad attempt. Funky Winkerbean sends a clear message today: RUN!  And speaking of obsessions, today's Crankshaft...  So Lois has never run across a middle-aged hobbyist or a Kitchen Nightmares candidate. Gotcha.

EasyEW posted:Crankshaft, on the other hand, has a simpler message for us today: look, buddy, just roll with it. EasyEW posted:On the other hand, Crankshaft balances the scale by giving us a traditionally creepy Mason face. EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean sends a clear message today: RUN! There's something about these last few Crankshaft strips where Batiuk has been trying to hit the middle point of his art style and Mort Walker's, and it's mostly just resulted in everyone looking kinda weirdly off-model.

Green Intern posted:There's something about these last few Crankshaft strips where Batiuk has been trying to hit the middle point of his art style and Mort Walker's, and it's mostly just resulted in everyone looking kinda weirdly off-model. Just to make sure we've established this at some point, right now TomBat's just ("just", he says) the writer for both strips. Crankshaft art is currently handled by Dan Davis, who also contributes to the Paws Inc. industrial combine. Since we're still under the BSS umbrella, he also was a part of the team for the all-ages Batman: Brave and the Bold comic book tie-in series for the animated show.

kype (something) slang To steal something in a furtive or surreptitious manner. Possibly an informal combination of "cop" and "swipe," both meaning the same. - Apparently, the city has a big problem with young kids going around kyping tourists' wallets. - I kyped a few beers from my dad's fridge and took them to the party.

Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise: Bad Suki Has it ever been established exactly what sort of crime Modesty and/or The Network actually did, back in the day? It doesn't seem to have been anything too bad, and Modesty seems to have a long list of crimes that she personally detests and wouldn't ever touch.

It doesn't seem to have been anything too bad, and Modesty seems to have a long list of crimes that she personally detests and wouldn't ever touch. Thefts have come up a few times in these stories and fit the bill for “professional criminals we can root for” nicely. Slavery and drugs are right out. Presumably things like smuggling and gambling would have been fine? I don’t remember how much detail we got in the intro. Ah, yeah, pretty vague: Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise: In the Beginning Dav fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Sep 14, 2022 |

It doesn't seem to have been anything too bad, and Modesty seems to have a long list of crimes that she personally detests and wouldn't ever touch. From the entry on The Network in the Modesty Blaise Companion: quote:We are told that when the old Professor Modesty had taken care of for several years and who had given her a remarkable education, died, Modesty made her way to Tangier wand was soon employed in one of the casinos controlled by Louche, a small time gangster. When rivals killed him Modesty took over the remnants of his gang and over the next two years forged it into the The Network. Its many activities included smuggling, currency, insurance and gold scams, industrial espionage services and jewellery and art thefts. It never dealt in drugs or vice and and if the need arose, would kill those who did.
