John Allison is channeling the great British authors of children's literature with this case, casually killing off a group of kids in a horrific way with the justification of "Well, they were naughty and/or were pals with the naughty child."

Cowslips Warren posted:ugh Home Free is just disgusting. the art, the plot, everything. I'd swear it was some fetish of the artist like Glorious Master. The goon mentioning knowing some kid in school whose family apparently actually did this during a house remodeling explains why the person who makes Home Free thought they could start a comic with this premise but not why they think they can keep going off of it indefinitely. To be entirely honest, once the son was introduced as being able to talk to animals I was kind of expecting that to become the premise of the comic and that the house remodeling would just, like, be done at that point.

They still exist on the other side of the timehole (because they previously left) but their "ghosts" still existed in the timeloop when the girls reset and reentered it because they already had entered it. Probably. Either way they're gooping apart because they're not the "real" versions of themselves. So it's only the body horror "death" of a copy of something that believes it's alive. Totally acceptable and PG friendly.

Ah, right. I just checked the archive and sure enough, we see them back at Griswalds soon enough. I feel like that that was one of the changes made for syndication/the trade paperback collection, but since JA has purged the original comics from the internet I can't check and have to assume that I'm just making stuff up.

Selachian posted:Invisible Scarlet O'Neil 10/19/41 While I really don't need another "Scarlet reforms a juvenile delinquent by pretending to be their conscience" storyline, I do find it funny that apparently the way to show this kid has a bad attitude is by drawing him sticking his tongue out in every panel.

He's actually got a very protruding bottom lip, another fine thread that makes up the majestic tapestry of Scarlet character design.

Oops! I accidentally hit submit before I was ready! Luann  Vanagon confirmed! Gil Thorp  Coach Martinez kind of grew on me as a rival coach with an irrational hatred for Gil. I hope he doesn't stay down Home Free  Some Guy TT posted:The goon mentioning knowing some kid in school whose family apparently actually did this during a house remodeling explains why the person who makes Home Free thought they could start a comic with this premise but not why they think they can keep going off of it indefinitely. To be entirely honest, once the son was introduced as being able to talk to animals I was kind of expecting that to become the premise of the comic and that the house remodeling would just, like, be done at that point. I agree. "Child can talk to animals and has lots of animal friends" is a much richer and more interesting premise than "Weird family lives in their back yard because of home construction." He really should have gone with that. He could still have the kid really preferring to camp outside with the animals.

I think with the art and writing shown that Home Free could tell a decent goofy for-kids comedy story from start to finish but beating a few jokes into dust for 1-2 dozen strips in a row isn't playing to their strengths.

Stultus Maximus posted:Also Gunt continuing to be an rear end in a top hat. How long have Toni and Brad been dating again? Because if they've been together for years and Gunther's been Luann's friend since forever, enough that he knows he should call Brad for help, then how the gently caress did Gunther manage to not know that it's Toni who can actually help him? What an rear end in a top hat. Green Intern posted:I thought Gunther's mom already owned the van, but I guess not. I had to recheck, but Gunther's mom only gave bets a flier for a van that's for sale, and then mentioned that Gunther's dad had owned an old camper van. So she doesn't even have an old van to give them. Gunther's mom telling Bets to take over her dream of living in a fuckvan and then making Bets and Gunther have to buy their own ride sounds about right for this rear end in a top hat family.

I doubt anyone who thinks homelessness is a cutesy premise for a comic strip is capable of telling any kind of story well.

He really should have gone with that. He could still have the kid really preferring to camp outside with the animals. I'm pretty sure in the blurb about the comic when it started that the kid talking to animals was going to be the main thing, so I was also assuming that the renovation would be wrapping up after that ability was established. Maybe the primary setting is going to be this uncle's house? Or maybe I'm just hoping the comic finds it's groove, like Tinkersons.

Green Intern posted:Put his son in as a relief pitcher for his korean star, immediately exploded when his kid didn't get a strikeout. Presumably it escalated from there. Called his son some terrible names on the mound that they couldn't repeat on the radio broadcast (yes, this was an actual strip, but I can't be arsed to go back and find it), and then the whole team walked off the field in protest, presumably forfeiting the game. My favorite thing about today's strip is that newspaper photo with a cop behind the coach, implying that he must have gone into some sort of rage, maybe throwing baseball equipment all over the infield or something, and ended up getting arrested as a result.
