Vargo posted:It's really incredible how bad Jules is at villains. I don't even know who this guy is (they've had so many "tech bro" baddies), and I should be all about hating him. Like, I agree with the idea of this bad guy, but it's just so loving clunky. I've come to two conclusions about this iteration of Mark Trail, completely without any evidence, but they are 1) The daily strips are just filler in between the Sunday strips, where Jules actually makes an effort; and 2) She is targeting the strip primarily if not exclusively to children, hence the paper thin plots based on "rivals" that evaporate into nothing once a strong breeze blows through.

I agree with point 1, and point two is plausible, but it's still a pretty lovely children's strip! Like, every strip I post is also targeted to children and they manage to put together a decent story 99% of the time (okay maybe not Heart always), while Jules literally forgets what she has and hasn't introduced to her characters.

John Allison Doujinshi Theatre Presents: Kit + The Wolf John Allison's Patreon John Allison's Gumroad store Forward Slash Scare website for Allison's side comics John Allison posted:Here, for the next seven weeks, I present a very special project. So this is the next project Allison teased about yesterday (and several weeks ago on his patron). I don't think I need to explain to the thread who Wolverine and Kitty Pryde are, but their adventures were featured in the Chris Claremont era X-Men comics of the late 70's and early 80's, which seems to be the era Allison first read them (and was a little before my own time). To try and familiarize myself with this era I have been reading the Claremont X-Men collections that I could get though my local library. There also was a Kitty Pryde and Wolverine comic series that ran from 84 to 85, but it seems like that's not in the collections I have access to. That series is were Wolverine started to be the go to mentor for young Marvel superheroines. The_Other fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Apr 7, 2023 |

This whole cycle of 'be an rear end in a top hat to my kids -> my kids don't want to talk to me -> be even more of an rear end in a top hat -> repeat' is not on them to break. Grandma is an rear end in a top hat who's failure to communicate is the source of all her problems, absolutely no question there. (And moreover, is almost certainly some of her chickens coming home to roost.) All that aside, stealing someone's furniture is, uh, loving theft, and is probably the single worse action either has taken in this recent string of comics. (This is not a criticism of the comic. I am entertained.)

I fail to see how bringing someone’s poo poo to where they are currently living is stealing. If anything Sally’s sister was stealing it by not sending it over earlier
|
# ? Apr 7, 2023 04:59 |

Stealing? No. But in general, it's a bad idea to handle/move a bunch of someone's poo poo without their awareness or permission. It's about basic boundaries. There's zero reason for this to have been a surprise, if nothing else.

Drakyn posted:On The Way Out (June 28, 1941)[/b] F Minus Mark Trail I don't think Jules is making MT with kids as the audience in mind. Too much crypto bro stuff. I think she doesn't know what audience she's aiming for, so she writes whatever she feels like and all the villains are the people that annoy her.

Drakyn posted:On The Way Out (June 28, 1941)[/b] Since I'm playing catch up on this thread, a couple of other comments/questions: The weird thing about Scarlet getting bonked on the head is that it didn't even affect the plot. Just *pow*, wake up, go right back to following the bike. Like, all the times she got smacked on the butt earlier in the strip I could write off as the author's fetish, but head trauma? That's a new one. Why does Miles' cell mate look so familiar? Did he use that character or design in an earlier story? I know I've seen it before.
