I'm not 100% sure about the translation. I tried Googling it but couldn't find a conclusive answer on what if any the English version in common usage actually is, but the Finnish original was just "stays usable for a week after opening", a very common marking on yogurt pots etc. Good for a week? Keeps for a week? I guess "use within 7 days of opening" might be the actual marking but doesn't really work for the joke?

I wish that the reporter had interrogated his initial plan of being shot three times. Why didn't he think a single bullet wound, or even two, would be enough?

Also, he presaged some great prestige TV.

A dark truth - a lot of Fingerpori strips are pretty traditional newspaper strips. I do like that the young robot has a bit of beard and electronic button pimples.

His plan is to take care of the kid for like a decade to hopefully get the money if the kid doesn't get too independent by then.

I guess that's a plan.

I do seriously love this comic though. So far it's the new highlight of the thread for me.

He does plan to dump the kid as soon as he gets paid but yeah, adopting him from his abusive stepmother and raising him seems like a pretty stand up thing to do for a villain. If he was really cunning he'd make a sincere effort at it and if Mike is deemed independent enough to get the inheritance then Mike will probably be pretty inclined to treat his adoptive father well.

Mark Trail


So the easy thing to do would be to mock the bad art and writing but I think the greater crime is spending a week of redundant strips stressing the danger of literally dozens of gators in a pile being within lunging distance and never drawing a single one actually making more than a territorial jaw opening at Mark. A bit more support for my theory that Jules can't actually draw animals. Two months of set up and then to not draw the red meat of the action.

And really, the original premise of the storyline was potentially interesting. We're going to go hunt a cryptid! Cool! How do you go about looking for this cryptid? How are the kids getting along while this is happening? Let's learn something about swamp ecosystems and also maybe about how urban legends like mythical swamp creatures come to be! Do we even find the cryptid? Maybe Mark can find some other interesting endangered animal to blog about! How are the moms getting along back at base camp? Maybe they (the kids or the moms) run into some jewel thieves in the swamp or something!

But no. Jules gets bored almost instantly and throws a bunch of gators at the problem.

So GoComics recommended a comic to me that I haven't heard of before called Home Free. The overview on the site is tl;dr for a strip that only started last July, but the premise appears to be that a kid is camping in his back yard because the family home is always undergoing renovations and while he's back there he learns he can talk to animals. It updates three times a week. The art looks okay, so I guess I'll give it a try and we'll see how it is. Maybe I'll go back from the beginning if there's interest. Here's the last week, timg'd because these are big:

I'm not that skilled and I've noticed that the few people who still do edits usually get passed by with no comment. It just doesn't seem to be what most people are reading for these days.
Yeah, the focus of the thread has definitely shifted. It used to be about posting and making fun of current strips, and has gradually shifted to the point where it's mostly about posting and enjoying old and foreign strips. The former led to a lot of edits, whereas the latter encourages more passive consumption. I miss the old version. I scroll right past most of what gets posted these days - especially stuff that's already been run through in its entirety at least once before.

Stultus Maximus posted:

Who was posting the Judge Parker catch-up strips? I keep wanting to read the comic again but I'm so far behind and I don't have archives access because Comics Kingdom sucks.
That's me. I haven't given up, I'm just really bad at keeping up with this thread lately.

They all are. I think some of the earlier ones were better but I suspect that, like Jules Rivera, he can't keep up with the deadline so he's half-arsing it. Except in his case that just means he's basically writing the comic he's been doing for decades and can churn out in his sleep.
