Julet Esqu posted:Trying out ImgBB, though that also has a UI that's strikingly similar to freeimghost. Are these non-imgur hosts all just the same company, or are they just buying their interfaces from the same company? I mean like, some people do have some conditions where they do not have internal monologues or can't hold images in their mind. Also lmao that zoom in, copy/paste art in panel 2.

Medenmath posted:ImgPaste it is! I hope by your trip not going well you don't mean that you're being hassled by the Chinese authorities. Oh, nothing of the kind. You know that Simpsons episode where Homer goes to work for the Bond villain, and the new town is objectively superior to Springfield in every way, but most of the family is miserable because of hyperspecific problems that only really affect them? That's basically my ongoing experience.

Not Big Mud... no...quote:Mark Trail And the turd has finally hit the water. So I guess that elephant crossed the country with its magical internal GPS and stealth camo and loving rocket legs because it got there days after it was mentioned. It must have a copy of the script too. This is all it takes for Rex to turn? Is he as dumb as Frizzy? "The spell is broken I forgot I'm a pet owner lol." It's just so bad, a writing companion piece for the hall of shame to go with the art piece of Rusty and the skateboard ramp. quote:Register Cat Now that's customer service!

But if you don't know that everyone else is also quite short-Goku is only 5' 8"-you'd probably assume he was in the 5' 6" to 5' 9" range. Which is probably a contributing factor to why Piccolo never gets to do anything, at 7' 4" he doesn't fit in the same shots as everyone else.

EasyEW posted:HEY! LOOK WHO FINALLY MANAGED TO SHOW UP AGAIN! Since I had to click to see the image I thought it was going to be Funky Winkerbean and I was very disappointed. quote:Mutt and Jeff I really like Mutt and Jeff. That's all. quote:Rip Haywire I don't like pointless pop culture references on general principle but this one in particular really rankles me because when you put this much effort into it the reference stops being casual and is just taking over your comic for no reason and making you look like a hack who couldn't come up with the idea of "superpowered demon girl" on your own.

Some Guy TT posted:Since I had to click to see the image I thought it was going to be Funky Winkerbean and I was very disappointed. It says something about how hard up you are for a good solid hate-read that you were looking forward to Doughy Middle-Aged Pizza Guy. But really, it sounds like you might've missed a few. If my last few didn't make it, is Stuck Funky Great Firewall compliant? Their click-through links go straight to the source. Anyway, another night of shorting you good and honest people. Our Boarding House (January 8-10, 1923)     Little Lefty (August 9 and 11, 1937; the 10th kind of glitched out on me, sad to say)   Blondie From Zero: End-of-the-Beginning-Game (February 9-12, 1933 (three dailies and the final AU Sunday before the big format change))   Tomorrow night: a double-dip for the grand finale of Blondie From Zero. Even if I half-rear end everything else, that's going to be a lock.

EasyEW posted:It says something about how hard up you are for a good solid hate-read that you were looking forward to Doughy Middle-Aged Pizza Guy. No, I saw them, I remembered only after making that post that Funky Winkerbean is the pizza guy so this was a bad time to make a "Funky Winkerbean never appears in his own comic" joke. In a note of technical bewilderment, my computer is now loading all of the imgur pics...but not when they're quoted. I don't have the slightest clue why. I cleared my cookies yesterday, but I certainly don't remember seeing any of these when I was posting a few hours ago. They don't load on my other devices, and imgur itself is still blocked by the firewall. I'm unnerved by the art style in Arnold now. It feels really different, but I can't think of any concrete reason how or why.

Any man, in the right situation, is capable of murder. But not any man is capable of taking apart a stroller. So, murder and taking a stroller apart are not as similar as you might think.

Thought this was a cute strip about a bunch of fishes. I found it running in several papers for several years throughout the 1980s. This was apparently marketed towards weekly newspapers, although it ran in daily papers, too, as a "filler" strip whenever there was extra space to fill. Because the strip was marketed as fillers it had no consistent running dates. Pisces

Finally! Back in a place where uploading Blueberry is nowhere near as much a pain as it was over the last couple of weeks! With that in mind: Tombstone in the '80s, huh? Well, I'm sure we won't be meeting any well-known faces while we're here, or OK, translating the dialogue on the wagon was a real pain - so you lot better appreciate it!, or Gee - I wonder who Arnie could be playing against

Welp, whatever was causing the images to load appears to have worn off. So I suppose I should at least comment on what I did see.Mister Beeg posted:Bullwinkle I was thinking right before I got behind the wall that Pottsylvania is veering dangerously close to Elbonia in Dilbert in terms of the "I have to deliberately avoid thinking about the cultural context of the moment to find this funny" mindset I have to maintain while reading it. The Bullwinkle parts are still great though. readingatwork posted:Big Nate I appreciate that now that I can actually see what's going on in this comic it is, in fact, exactly as stupid as everyone has been making it sound. Strontium posted:Intelligent Life You know if this was any other comic, I might have assumed this conversation was prompted by something interesting happening that I missed. everyone wear hats now posted:The Creeps Every bit as incredible as I remember. Really bummed this started up again as soon as I was behind the firewall  Yvonmukluk posted:Bad Machinery Haifisch posted:2018 Spiderman Honestly kind of surprised these are still on the same plotline as when I left. My comprehension of time has been way off lately. Certainly doesn't feel like it's only been a month. Incidentally, this was the only one of Haifisch's comics that loaded. Slammy posted:Willie and Joe October 3, 1945 Delightfully specific as usual. quote:Dark Laughter April 7, 1951 Delightfully horrifying as sometimes. quote:Those Were the Days September 24, 1964 Confusingly "huh?" as sometimes. Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise: The Red Gryphon As to be expected, still engaging even though I only have minimal context for what's going on.

Vargo Comic Catchup Post. I'm going out of town until Thursday so there will also probably be a Vargo Comic Catchup Post next week, too. After which I will finally get around to making the China-friendly changes to my scripts. Breaking Cat News      Phoebe and Her Unicorn      Wallace the Brave      Heart of the City      Feels like you could probably just say "Hell's" here.
