Some Guy TT posted:(disapproving OP voice) I notice you didn't post any pictures of these cats. This is the original ad that got my attention:  Their names from the shelter were Zane and Zazzy. Now obviously I could not keep a creature in my home with the name "Zazzy," that's just cruel, so even though "Zane" wasn't too bad, they both got a name change.  This is Pepperoni, or just Roni if you're in a hurry, the only cat I've ever met for whom the "give me a belly rub" pose is not a cruel, cruel trap. He will eat anything, probably including me if I ever die in this house.   This is Olive, aka Ollie, and she is terribly elegant in her little white gloves, and necklace, and mustache. She is a tiny hurricaine.  They're best buds. Luann  Alt It can't possibly be a brand new character we've never met. Gil Thorp  Alt

In today's Blueberry: Boy, things have a way of escalating in this town, don't they?, or Mike et al are very serious about their poker, or Now, I admit I'm not a gun person, and while I think the panel of Virgil coming through the saloon doors with the pistols is very 'cool'... aren't his thumbs drawing back the gun hammers, i.e. there's no way they would have fired?

EasyEW posted:ImgPaste has an eerily familiar landing page after a few weeks with FreeImgHost. Are we sure this is a different company? 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 know I'm going back a couple pages on this one, but imgpaste and freeimghost appear to both be made using some kind of quick and dirty templating system with an image upload plugin bolted on that, at least in the case of freeimghost, has basically "this is a page placeholder. fill in your actual page here" for its terms of service. I suspect they're not intended to be long-lived services. Or even particularly well-intentioned ones. I've seen goons use ImgBB before now in other threads iirc and the TOS and privacy policy page aren't lorum ipsum so it probably has some longevity to it. e: it seems to be this software: https://chevereto.com -- maybe there's some bizarre business model somewhere wherein you pay a hundred bucks, set up a burner image host, collect a bunch of data, sell it, and scrub the site when it no longer functions in XYZ region.

Doomykins posted:Goldie is the "empire builder" and the other two are self-aware lugs, as per the character dynamics established and worn into at least a year of strips. The one boy jokes that Goldie is admiring his strength because Goldie himself is so preoccupied with being a smart businessman type that he neglects physical training. The other boy points out that Goldie is so god drat smart he's fated to become a businessman that uses his mind to bamboozle strong laborers into making him a fortune. I choose to believe that the heavier kid just hopes Goldie thinks he's hot. Julet Esqu posted:This is the original ad that got my attention: Oh yeah, that's the stuff.  Giant Ethicist posted:Ajara Great batch of comics today but I like this one especially. I'd buy one of those things but I can't find a Δ key on my phone.

Yes, yes, these cats are quite excellent. Tribute accepted. A Popeye interest revival, in my lifetime?!Medenmath posted:I choose to believe that the heavier kid just hopes Goldie thinks he's hot. Same, it'd make the character dynamic much cuter than "aww shucks we're condemned to be poor working saps forever!" Really good Valiant strip too!

Hey turns out CK has a  NEW COMIC today. Mara Llave: The Keeper of Time  quote:The time stream is in a constant state of disrepair. Timelines diverge and collapse. History is altered, creating tidal waves of change. And that’s on a good day. But thankfully, for eons, the main thruway - the key timeline - has been kept safe by a group of diligent and dedicated “Chronal Keepers.” These men and women keep watch over events happening all over time, across alternate paths and universes. Empowered by their unique “keys” - hourglass-shaped talismans that allows the wearer to create a time/space distortion - a protective quantum field. Within the field they can manipulate matter and energy as they see fit. Whatever is possible, they can achieve. Imbuing them with the ability to manipulate reality. These brave people tap into their talismans and are shunted to wherever and whenever they’re needed most, with little idea what they might face. Working in secret so as not to disrupt the timelines themselves, these anonymous Chronal Keepers were silent heroes across time and space. I'll add it to my regulars for now, unless anyone else wants it. I post plenty so if someone's looking for something to post, this one's up for grabs. F Minus  Mark Trail  Mary Worth  The Phantom  Pooch Cafe  There's gotta be some kind of law against your boss chaining you to your desk. Rex Morgan MD  I hope it's just plain old anxiety that's bothering Mud. Not that an anxiety attack isn't awful, I'd just like to see it addressed in this strip. Andertoons  Apartment 3-G
