Hippocrass: Aug 18, 2015; That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Selachian posted:

Besides the art, Montana is a really good letterer too -- look at how effectively he conveys tone and humor through lettering here.

It's almost as if it's possible to use bolding for natural emphasis rather than just bolding words at random.

Don't worry, Jarla regularly pokes fun at the people bitching about The Wokes; the participants on the Fragility Track are the butt of the joke

I guess Scarlett never gets any downtime. No pauses to set up a new story, no "the next morning" or anything like that; one adventure always leads her directly to the next and the next and the next. It's like the whole strip takes place on the busiest day of her life. It's ridiculous and I'm totally here for it. :allears:

The featured comment at the moment is "Would you like to bet that guy will sell that comic book for a million dollars and then disappear?" That's a sucker's wager, seeing as how Comic Book John never leaves that room.

It was telling that the only time he stopped doing the B^U copy & paste was for the wank-material mini-arc featuring two 'hot' women talking to each other. (Still failed the Bechdel Test, though.)
