Can someone, say, go back in time and stop Holbrook from ever unleashing this jackassery upon us? Hypothetically speaking, of course.

It's amusing how that girl constantly keeps falling down, ripping her clothes etc.

So far Scarlet's rear end has stopped a line drive, been headbutted by a goat, and now had a crook drop on it and blocked a kick. It's not just you, though until this set and you recounting the butt incidents I just thought the artist has a thing for Scarlet being unconscious since she gets one per arc every time. Or they're running dry on ideas to add danger. It's definitely a strip where there's a certain type of pin up girl look shared by every attractive girl, though to the artist's credit tons of other body types are drawn with talent and without malice. I've heard that a majority of artists are inclined to perversion at times(which is really just a confirmation that a lot of humanity is horny) and I'd say it's a matter of how blatant they are about it. Scarlet probably has quite a bit of cheek about cheek going on but it's not the first stories of Wonder Woman or freaking 9CL. Also Scarlet's tough as hell to take a 200+ lb guy dropping on her tail bone at the force of gravity or a full force kick above dude's head.

I feel like the butt hits aren't any more common than the times she's taken hits to the head, or full body hits (see the 5th earlier comic where the entire football team dogpiles her into unconsciousness). And when your main shtick is being invisible but not intangible the main issue is going to be getting hit (okay well the main issue SHOULD be that being invisible shouldn't allow her to do half the poo poo she does but she's basically invincible) The knock outs just feel like an easy way to pause Scarlet's otherwise unstoppable plans; to me it's the same level as "THING IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO SCARLET!" -> "Somehow, a contrivance happened." Like remember when that guy was about to throw a dart at where Scarlet was but then a cuckoo clock went off to bat it away or when she got knocked out as the bomb in the school house but thankfully a dog just so happened to walk by and just so happened to lap up some water that just so happened to wake Scarlet up what an utterly insane comic, I love it. Impossible to guess anything that will happen and it would not surprise me if the guy had no plans just vibed it out every day.

Mars is always causing trouble in popular fiction, seems like a good deal. Holy poo poo Jules, add an extra 15 minutes to every strip. These naked lazy scribbles, that dude's half arm in panel two. I've often wondered how you could start to fix this disaster of a strip and bam, right there, at least correct the embarrassing amateur art mistakes. Can consider dialogue and plot writing once that bar lying on the floor has been cleared. Doomykins fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Feb 23, 2023 |

Mutts Sally Forth  Skippy (April 5, 1935)  Peanuts (February 26, 1976)  Miss Peach (August 10, 1989)  Crankshaft  So, yeah. This landed on me around the same time as the new Omnibus podcast, which (like Omnibus does) begins with a long derail from the topic, this time about a trend that John Roderick (or Beandad, if you want to be a smartass about it) becoming aware of a trend reported among fellow geezers dealing with the post-millennial generations where those kids did grow up digital-native, but a lot of them have only been digital in appspace. That means, at least on the enduser side, it's not a guarantee that they'd know from file systems anymore (or files, really) because so much of it goes to cloud storage. As a garbage-rear end, no-kids Xer myself, I'm at a disadvantage to check this myself, but reading this immediately after hearing that kind of highlights the old-person energy of these primary school girls in the year of our Ford 2023, while still unconsciously flexing on Lillian, still talking in terms of homepages. The moral: if you're going for "kids today" energy, do it in a way that shows you've actually talked to a kid today, or at least at some point in the past 30 years. Mutt and Jeff was frozen in amber in the 1980s, so obviously it doesn't have this problem.  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (September 25, 1939)  Olive & Popeye  Out Our Way (February 24-26, 1941; spoilered over an Ick joke.)

Scarlet probably has quite a bit of cheek about cheek going on but it's not the first stories of Wonder Woman or freaking 9CL. There's a New Yorker-style cartoon I saw online once years ago and I wish I could find it again so I could save it, but the gist of it was: four panels in a 2x2 grid, first panel is something like a small baby staring at a woman's chest; second panel is a young boy standing next to his mother looking up at a woman's chest; third panel is a teenage boy ogling a woman; and the final panel is a grown man in beret and smock standing in front of an in-progress sculpture with a female model in the background and another person is asking him something like "Whatever inspired you to become a sculptor?"
