I've had trouble showing Calvin & Hobbes to my daughter because there are strips where, like, Calvin has created a snowman with a big frown on its face and a hot compress on its head and the joke is that it's committing suicide, and I'm left like "I read this when I was six, what the gently caress" as I flip to a different page but there is absolutely nothing Republican about it, it ranges from Nader to NPR

Cracker is one of the best shows ever made. Completely uncompromising, loving smart and mean as poo poo. The exchange from maybe the first episode where he's haranguing his wife's friends for claiming to be leftists but hiring a nanny, just going at them hammer and tongs to get them to admit how much they pay the poor woman and her country of origin like they're in an interrogation room. One half of the couple finally blurts out the answer, I can't remember what, and Coltrane just thinks for a second and says "Well, ideally she should have been a Fillipiiiiiino" in the most withering way possible. So good. Also the least cop-y cop show imaginable. The first three seasons anyway. I remember that the two specials that followed were kinda poo poo, though the first at least attempted to talk about Hong Kong.

I wasnt even sure if I should be reading all the ultra naughty school stuff Calvin does to my kid lest he gets ideas, but gently caress it, spaceman spiff rules

Some Guy TT posted:where did they go first there was an exodus about 5 years ago and those people formed The Dissolve which was actually a good site but ironically couldn't remain solvent some of them went crawling back to the AV Club after that and others went elsewhere, then there was the mass exodus a couple years ago that left the AV Club devoid of talent I haven't followed any of them since then, I don't read reviews anymore and don't know where they landed

man i can't find it with google image search but in the jon stewart book he had two newspaper comic parodies. one was mallard fillmore of the "liberals liberals LIBERALS!" comic we all know but the second was just a butterfly wafting past the GWBush white house in a parody of doonesbury's overly-droll humor

i wanted to be a comic artist as a kid and wrote a strip called Rad Rude Rabbit and my dad was nice enough to arrange an 'interview' with the local paper and the guy let me down but told me to keep trying in the nicest way possible i kept my Hobbes collection but gave away my 50 garfield ones. tho some of them still make me laugh when i think of them

I read the poo poo out of Bloom County as a kid and was weirdly referencing Oliver North in 5th grade homework I found and up until this moment I thought Doonesbury was by the same author but like toned down for the sunday comics but nope he just ripped Doonesbury off for a bit lol.

Berkley Breathed brought bloom back but it was all trump-era lib poo poo he wrote at my college's newspaper, including a prank article which said he released a bunch of alligators in the local lake

Bill Watterson rejected society and now lives in the woods, like all great artists should when they run out of art.

It balanced out though. The joie de vivre Calvin has riding wagons and sleds down hills and generally being a little poo poo resonated perfectly with me at that age, but his rare moments of humility, empathy and sadness were just as important.

Frosted Flake posted:People in this thread refer to the Mystery Box a lot, can someone explain the rationale behind it? Is surprising reddit and twitter worth undermining characterization to the point where any character could be revealed to have some other identity? quote:“In Tolkien, Sauron is a deceiver and we know that in Second Age he appears in ‘fair form.’ So what if he sneaks up on you and is able to get you to sympathize with him and get you to be on board with him so that once you actually realize who he is, that he’s already got his hooks in you? So it’s not just as easy as, ‘This person is evil, I’m going to back away,’ because you’ve already formed some level of attachment to him. What if we could get the audience to go through a similar journey?” Llamadeus has issued a correction as of 09:26 on Oct 15, 2022 |

Suicidal Snowmen is a good bit and a good band name. I can't really remember the difference between being 5 and 10 anymore but I'm pretty sure children aren't that fragile, it's okay to tell them hosed up jokes.
