Scott and Borgman would benefit from teen pre-readers to make sure they're saying what they think they're saying. edit: not happy to start a new page with this :/

Hey all, I'm working on the OP for next year, but I'll acknowledge I'm not an expert in everything posted in this thread. My blind spots are mainly with foreign comics (i.e. Scandinavian and Japanese) and the older 20's and 30's era selections. If anyone who posts these comics or reads them enough to be familiar would be willing to shoot me a PM with a one or two-sentence summary of what they're about, I'd be happy to integrate into the OP to give an adequate introduction to new readers.

Crabgrass Old School Peanuts (Jan 10, 1954)  Calvin and Hobbes (Oct 9-10, 1992)   A rare C&H where his parents are cool and supportive. Big Nate  I don't know dude, she seems like she's being pretty nice to me. Now that I think about it Nate has a lot of enemies that only seem to exist in his head. If that's something Pierce is doing intentionally then that's actually a pretty clever.

Pancho Jueves posted:Is anyone working on the new thread? I'd be willing to put something together this week if there's nothing else in the works already. Feel free to do so. I am, as has been noticed, a bit indisposed when it comes to making a new thread at the moment. My suggestion for a title was The Lunatics Return although it'll be a week into the year before I get to the comic that actually uses that phrase.

I know it's just the fold/page divide but it looks like they inflicted some manner of interstellar horror on Planck and his face was the price.

Pancho Jueves posted:If anyone who posts these comics or reads them enough to be familiar would be willing to shoot me a PM with a one or two-sentence summary of what they're about, I'd be happy to integrate into the OP to give an adequate introduction to new readers. The Antique Dealer’s Tale  Maruoka Kuzo writes Uramachi Sakaba and a series of related comics set in its shared universe. The setting is nominally cyberpunk / post-apocalyptic, but as often as not the stories are about working-class people in mid-to late-20th-century Japan as much as anything futuristic. Bars and bar food feature prominently - "Cyberpunk Cheers" seems to be how people have settled on describing Uramachi Sakaba - and Maruoka is a master of leaning into a trope and giving you a story that is somehow at the same time utterly unsurprising yet completely charming. Cthulhu and Girl  Cthulhu and Girl, by Ponto Gotanda, is bubblegum in comic strip form, and about 148% more pure-hearted than it has any right to be. Aspiring idol Inaba Futaba inadvertently adopts Literal Cthulhu as a pet, and he works behind the scenes to propel her to stardom. Ajara   Starship fuel is made of (This is a short-run comic so probably doesn't need its own writeup. I could give a couple sentences about Q-Rais in general, but I'm not the only person posting his comics in the thread or anything.)

Was it illegal for women to turn down baseball related proposals back in the day cuz Maggie you really had no reason to actually marry him if you didn't want to. Other than I guess your pain in the rear end mom?

Vargo posted:jesus loving christ funky. Like, I'm sorry, but if Summer Moore is a famous author in this hellscape, how would it escape everyone's attention that her father was a published writer who wrote about the famous Summer Moore's goddamn mother? The book that inspired a loving Oscar-winning film? Was it so bad that it had to be memory-holed, like a Key and Peele sketch?
