I think I liked the sports mascot civilization a bit more than this last storyline just because it was so much weirder, but I'm down for fantasy sequences that are actually happening.Transmodiar posted:Prince Valiant-est Schwarzwald posted:Now I'm actually wonderin' if I even LIKE kings, man.

Yeah, I'm honestly fine with Crabgrass officially breaking from reality as it opens the door to a lot of cool story arcs (he just needs to work on pacing things out a little better)

Kazinsal posted:I mean, there was that arc about the underground civilization of sports mascots, so this isn't really *new* for Crabgrass, just kind of a codification of it being a thing that happens once in a while. I guess now we know it definitely happened, though.

The storyline was fun, creative, and well-drawn! Having Kevin be defeated by calling his mom was hilarious! It just also needed to cut out about half of the buildup to get there. Considering how snappy the pacing usually is in Crabgrass(see: the mascot storyline), I'm assuming it's just growing pains and not the doom of the strip. 1980 comics Dick Tracy Footrot Flats The Lockhorns Computoon: Origins Legends in the Heights

Mascot world (also the earlier thanksgiving Girls Day Out the moms and sister had that took place over the course of a morning & afternoon that involved going to like ancient tombs and stuff) probably didn't set people off not just because it was tighter paced but also probably because it involved less... everything. It as basically just the dad's misadventure. See also: No one really cares that every halloween a haunted doll fucks with the Forths (she even cameo'd a few weeks ago), or the two times Hil went into the past and met a forest giant that gave her a polaroid of her future. Meanwhile super villain kevin escalated harder, longer and involved a chunk of the school and faculty into also being super heroes. Easy to see why it felt weirder.

Parts of Kevinmind were good but it was both too long AND somehow rushed the good bits, like why introduce all the superpowers kids and then not draw more action shots, or even show half of them in those shots? Yeah Crabgrass is good but everybody felt things drag. Justice for Reptile Kid. Laughing my rear end off and loving it every time Popeye introduces some new jackass animal. Into is kind of a jerk here but I think 80% of the people he meets try to kill him for no reason so he's still pretty mellow in comparison. My Lovely Horse posted:loving Captain Planet had more nuanced villains than Mark Trail I was just thinking about it because this week is unusual for Trail, especially after the last month. A lot of what makes Mark Trail suck is that even if you forgive the art 100% it has very bad writing too. Usually. The art is nice since we switched to Cherry but anyway continuing Ernest's rivalry with Cherry and writing them as angry humans with different values who want to be petty to one another... well, it beats anything Mark has done yet with total morons and psychopaths who do things because they're robots on a script in very poorly written stories. Cherry also had an actual good conflict(briefly, and almost stupidly) when worrying whether or not to tattle on the affair and now she has actual consequence to her decision. Odds are this trend of quality will nosedive soon but uhh, I'm enjoying this since we swapped to Cherry? Weird. OK, enjoying this as much as I could a perfectly average strip. Panel 2 to 3 dialogue is actually pretty good! Doomykins fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Mar 10, 2023 |

There's a happy little middle ground where the ball gets past the pitcher before he can snag it, but it dies before it gets to the first baseman, so he has to come way the hell off the bag to field it - runner slips in behind him This, but with a little more heat on it https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/rzn6y8/the_batter_was_thrown_behind_so_he_dropped_a_bunt/
