The more I think about it the more I am weirded out by seeing the Foglio character and clothing design put on a boring skinny stick girl because it's just so indistinct and bland and boring and calls to attention just how much detail the Foglios commit to.

LvK posted:sorry, that was mean. I'm still entertained by this Crabgrass arc because Bondia is clearly having fun drawing it, and there's goodwill from tons of good gags and characterization in the relatively short time the strip has been running. Even when the storylines kind of falter and stray, the pace is decent and the day-to-day jokes are charming even if they're not gutbusters. I feel like Bondia gets to write one extremely weird arc every year, and we have to respect that. quote:
Holbrook would like that though

I am old enough to remember using these poles to open & close the extremely large windows in my elementary school building in the 60s. The high school also had these windows but they were upgraded in 1980. The windows were cantilevered - pulling on the latch at the top of the lower pane caused it to tilt in. And the bottom of the upper pane to tilt out, after which they could be swung out & parallel to one another; as the lower raised & the upper lowered they ultimately would hang stacked, with a large opening above & below. The cartoon is pretty accurate about the size. The window openings were 8-10 feet tall and easily three feet wide.

First strip has Pipgorn character and the second one has Zintiel from Flaky Pastry.

Crankshaft wasn't particularly great or anything but it was actually a comic strip and I'd laugh like when Cranky was looking at a gardening tools catalogue under the covers like it was a porno, why did Funky "end" if Batiuk is just going to move over to the other strip and ruin what little it had going for it? I never want to see those insanely lame old guy comic hacks again but we're dangerously adjacent to them now. Never thought I'd be arguing the loving sanctity of Crankshaft. Did the editors just cut half of the space Batiuk wastes in the paper and he got upset and snuck Funky over to keep writing it? Like drat dude just host a website. Even Gary Larson figured that out only 30 years later.

More likely he wanted to halve his work without limiting his options for "plot".

Oh, I know that, or at least I figured as much when I recognised some of them, but that mostly just elicits a groan and a bit of an eye-roll. But that first one?

"Jules wouldn't be so much of a hack as to-" Jules would in fact be that much of a hack. So Mark Trail is a pure comedy world where you can dodge criminal charges by stepping off camera.

kidcoelacanth posted:my mark trail hot take is that i think the bloodthirst that this thread has over a mediocre legacy comic author is way more annoying than the comic itself This is the hottest take, and also the most correct one. The strip ranges from "heh, kinda clever" to "whatever" for me, Rivera's linework might be sloppy and struggle with size and perspective but it never enters the "What the hell is wrong with the person writing this" territory that all 3 of Holbrook's strips do on a daily basis.

Yeah, I don't hate Mark Trail, though I also cannot deny it is sloppy as Hell. I'm also enjoying this Crabgrass story, every once in a while that comic gets weird and I like that.
