(I hear AI is going to revolutionize the industry soon, taking inspiration from JIT manufacturing and making millisecond-speed trades of honor-as-a-service.) Join up with my revolutionary honour sharing scheme, by recruiting 11 knights and one king . Having them share 10% with you will allow you to kickstart yourself from 0 to 120% of the averagehonour, if you then share 10 % of that with me, you are still at 108% of average. I will then use that honour boost to commit more honourable acts than a single knight could before returning it to you. If you let your knights into this scheme by having them borrow honour as well you can send even more up to me we can do this even faster and help more people and increase the amount of honourable people in the world. I swear on my own honour that this is totally legit and not at all a scam.

Knights Errant should form a union and demand regular and standardized rates of honor per quest, with cutouts for PTO (pilgrimage time off) and other benefits. The monarchy should not be able to dictate geas-rates and at-will fealty!

There are a couple of panels where they look derpy, but it's not bad art at all.

Invisible Scarlet O'Neill never fails to make me smile.An Taoiseach posted:Uh-oh, when's the last time we had a pregnancy in a Holbrook strip, i think he's in the mood There was that pseudo-pregnancy arc with the two badger and stoat that transitioned into turtles, I think? Except it turns out the actual turtle mom left her egg behind on purpose and took the child back from the two. But beyond that, it's really been way too long, hasn't it? The scary thing about Holbrook is that there's a non-zero percent chance he'll make Rudy have a kid with his car. rannum posted:Some of the expressions reminds me of later day Penny Arcade Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not say anything we can't take back now. I've seen Penny Arcade get posted in the CCCC webcomics thread and the art got way loving worse over time. Terrible proportions and random poo poo flecks in the background all the time.

This was my exact thought and one of the reasons I quit reading like 10 years ago or some poo poo. The new style will take some getting used to but it's not too bad honestly. Not a huge swing in a different direction in my eyes.

Thought of something interesting to post here. I wanted to post a 4-panel comic from Japan, because it's an overlooked part of manga culture even though it's very popular in the country. But while looking around I found that somebody did a translation of "The Diary of Ma-chan". "Ma-chan" ran in 1946 in Shokokumin Shinbun, a newspaper published by Mainichi Newspaper that was distributed to elementary school kids across Japan. The comic featured antics of a pre-school kid and his life. The comic was short-lived, only running from January to March of 1946 for a total of 73 strips, but it's important historically: it was the professional debut of Osamu Tezuka, who would become a VERY important figure in Japanese comics. He was only 17 years old when it first appeared and, compared to his later works, are crude, but I figure the thread would appreciate checking it out So... without further ado...I'll post few at a time (each page contains 2 strips)

Some of the later "Peanuts" specials did feature on-screen adults, mostly in the "This is America, Charlie Brown" mini-series, plus few other specials, as well as movie "Bon Voyage Charlie Brown". This was rare, but it happened.

Pogo 10/30 - 11/1/50 I have not been able to track down Albert's song other than a few references from back in the Usenet era. I do like that Porky's "speaking French" is just him putting on the same cod-French accent as Hepzibah. And yes, Marvel fans, Hepzibah of the Starjammers is based on Kelly's Hepzibah.
