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.

I remember reading Joe Matt's autobiographical novel, Peep Show, and he did a strip about how he got tired of drawing people in the same size format, and how he craved doing extreme close-ups with oversized portraiture.

All artists need to have a change-up now & then.

Fingerpori

SDP is a Finnish political party, and prior to parliamentary elections all the parties have these little stands everywhere and their barkers try to get you to engage and pick out a candidate, or to remind you of your candidate's voting number if you already have one.

And the other guy is the notorious pervert in Fingerpori and there is a humorous misunderstanding.

Yes, in Finnish elections all candidates are assigned a number and when you vote, you write in that candidate's number.

My big fear with crabgrass officially going weird sometimes is that it coincides with Tauhid's big-ish break replacing Dilbert in many strips, and I'm worried the weirder stuff might be too weird/offputting for non-long-time readers and lead to his quick removal.

It's been pretty reliably non episodic so the timing is good I bet. I guess we'll see.

Luckily I think a lot of the bad strips in this thread have proven that the average editor doesn't follow a strip for quality reasons until they get significant complaints about the author going mask off on social media. Dilbert was super weird in the first ten years anyway. I assume Adams became too lazy and safe to bother after awhile and stuck primarily to shuffling the office strips around Zombie Garfield style.

If there are Dilbert Diehards they'll find their way to Adams and his uncensored magnum opus online if they haven't already boycotted print for daring to silence a visionary. :haw:

Loafers, no, but have you never seen a middle aged guy go into the gym with khakis and a polo, usually with new balances on? It's weird but it exists.
