When you're two decades deep into living off of early 2000s webcomic luck, you get the same level of lack-of-give-a-poo poo that most people who take over legacy comic strips do.

It turns out that reading a wiki isn't a substitute for knowledge. I love the weird nonsensical shamble walk so many characters do as demonstrated by the couple in panel seven. You really can't unsee how bad the posture and lines of action are as another poster pointed out. We're about 2-3 full "adventures" in and I don't think Randy is gonna push past his limitations any time soon. At least it's.. average? But the curse of the new webcomic artist continues as Popeye deserves better.

Breaking Cat News Ever since this mole storyline started, I've been worried about Georgia Dunn trying to make some metaphorical "horrors of war" storry with her cute animal strip, particularly pertaining to Ruissia-Ukraine. It hasn't obviously shifted in that direction but I can see it going there any day now. Phoebe and Her Unicorn  Wallace the Brave  Heart of the City  Curtis

I was expecting MRI for soft tissue, but good to know! I only deal with the hardware side so I mostly guess about actual usage.

Count Weirdly believes that safety regulations stifle innovation and that taxation is theft, leading him to take his dangerously under-engineered homemade submarine into international waters. How can Slylock use this information to determine the Count’s opinion on laws regarding the age of consent?

Powered Descent posted:This strip takes place in the 80s, yes? The honey badger is a real animal, but it was pretty obscure until it became a meme in the 2010s. Debating whether to call shenanigans here. This is what I mean about magical realism Crabgrass being a bit disorienting. You kind of have to make a mental note of it not being set in the present day for the driverless ice cream truck mystery not being obviously explained by it being an Elon Musk experiment.

Some Guy TT posted:This is what I mean about magical realism Crabgrass being a bit disorienting. You kind of have to make a mental note of it not being set in the present day for the driverless ice cream truck mystery not being obviously explained by it being an Elon Musk experiment. It was never set in a specific past, though? It was always openly a mash up of the 80s, 90s and early 00s. And 'ah this is an Elon Musk thing' is not something I would think even if the strip was explicitly set in 2023, because that makes very little sense for a whimsical kid's adventure story. This is like reading 'Bunnicula' and getting really worked up about the accuracy of rabbit care portrayed therein and why the story has not explained how the cat can read. Or reading 'Calvin and Hobbes' and saying it's worldbuilding is incoherent because sometimes Hobbes is a stuffed tiger and sometimes he is not and what is the viewer supposed to take away from that? Sorry I'm not trying to be aggro but I am truly mystified by this recurring discussion thread around the strip's setting. It's extremely normal for a lighthearted kid's story not to be 100% grounded in a specific setting and to just have random anachronisms or excursions into the fantastic. The 'honey badger' thing wouldn't be a big deal even if it was supposed to be strictly set in the 80s, because that's a throwaway line immediately understandable to the audience reading it and the point of the work is not creating a slavishly authentic period piece. The approach to setting is driven by the kinds of stories told, not the other way around, and there is no real need for a 'kids solving a mystery in an ambigously nostalgic past' story to be a super authentic period piece, because the exact time period is not tremendously important to the story. mycatscrimes fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Jul 17, 2023 |

Shouldn't Scooby and the Gang logically realize every time they found a ghost in the past it's actually been an elaborate hoax, and therefore the Phantom of Spooky Hill is almost certainly another case of real estate fraud? These mysteries just fall apart immediately, smh.
