for Crabgrass, DAYS of making the Thanksgiving day meal? Like, all homemade I am guessing? I luck out because it's just me and my mom, so we do box and can versions of poo poo. Nothing homemade, fine by me. My old coworker, however, does everything from scratch and he usually starts at like 3am to meal prep for a dozen people. Nothing comes from cans, even the veges are fresh from some farmer's market. And echoing Flash love. The design and characters are cool, and I never followed the original.

Thanksgiving might be my favorite holiday and I do actually make most things from scratch. I'll be starting prep on Tuesday night dry-brining my fresh turkey. Pies will most likely get made Wednesday night, plus some additional prep of things that can be sit overnight without issue (shredding cheese, cutting brussels sprouts, etc.). But this is something I enjoy doing, so it's not a big deal to me. I definitely am not getting up at 3 AM for this.

Color chat: You have to define what color system you are working in. Mixing red and blue paint gets you to purple. Mixing red and blue light gets you magenta. Purple and Magenta are not the same color. There's plenty of info out there about the 3 systems of mixing color based on the medium. How you percieve color is learned behavior you learn as a baby/toddler. Its incredibly facinating. You can find information about the Himba tribe (and ancient Greece) and how they percieve color.

Nonsense, my favorite character is Passive Aggressive Snarker #37. Really great use of reviving Whaler Joe from obscurity. It actually was sweet of Randy to do that but he botched everything afterwards and I'll scream if another modern artist hijacks an old IP just to string along for a steady paycheck.

Coming soon to Comics Kingdom: a modern reboot of Mandrake the Magician where he never uses his hypnotic gestures because he's morally opposed to interfering with other people's minds ... and also instead of solving crimes, he just works at a series of lovely temp jobs. If I could actually draw, I'd be set.

Can't we all just agree to call the color purple/violet 'grape'? Mr. Squishy posted:One of the things that jumps out at me about new Flash is that the colouring is actually good. To my understanding, most strips are drawn to be printed in black and white, and all the colour is done for online in a very workmanlike fashion. Here, although there's nothing super complicated, but you can tell by the glow that someone took a moment to consider how light would fall on this guy, and they picked a palette that looks pleasant. I don't necessarily notice coloring for the most part but when it's good I do F Minus  Mark Trail  Mary Worth  The Phantom  "I mean, adjusted for time zones and all. I think."

Some Guy TT posted:There's actually something I've been meaning to ask you on this topic. Your scans of Blueberry were in black-and-white. Maybe this is how it was printed in your country. But on a recent trip to Portugal, I picked up a cheap, but high-quality color paperback of Blueberry. It was only a few euros for about two hundred pages worth of stories, volume eighteen starting with Chihuahua Pearl. Do you have access to these color versions? I do, but for the sake of not just simply uploading stuff as is, thus providing impetus for people supporting the publishers (and also for ease of editing text) I'm keeping with the B&W scans.

So I recently read three comic-strip related books the thread might be interested in hearing about : The Mysteries by Bill Watterson and John Kascht – essentially a picture book for grown-ups with an environmentalist allegory that is typical for Watterson, although I feel that the message Watterson is trying to send is a bit muddled. Suddenly Silver: Celebrating 25 years of For Better or Worse – I saw this 2004 collection at my local library and decided to give it a try. It's basically a “greatest hits” collection of the various stories that had ran in the comic up to that point. More interesting was various musings and stories by Johnston and her family members about the strip and some of the stories they influenced. For example Lynn's brother-in-law Ralph Johnston was consulted for the coming out story with Lawrence, and Lynn's sister-in-law Beth Cruikshank, the “family veterinarian”, basically came up with the scenario for Farley's death. Also, here's the photo of Lynn from the back or the book. Not what I was expecting:  Finally I read about half of Schulz and Peanuts by David Michaelis. This is probably the definitive biography on Schulz, but it is also very thick (about 550 pages, not counting the notes and index) and dense with information. Schulz's childhood takes up about 100 pages, and it's about another 100 before the Peanuts strip really gets going. Still while there is a lot of information to take in, none of it feels superfluous, and really drives home just how autobiographical the Peanuts strip was, with various familiar names popping up during Schulz's early life (he would meet three men named 'Charlie Brown' before he started the strip). I'll probably take the book out again a finish it sometime, but as I mentioned it is dense and, reflecting its subject, somewhat subdued. I found myself comparing it to Michael Schumacher and Denis Kitchen's biography of Al Capp (Al Capp: A Life to the Contrary) which I read last year and found more exciting, if only because Capp was a more bombastic figure compared to the subdued Schulz.

Newspaper storylines move slowly. Has it been almost four years since the flaming skeleton first showed the Phantom a vision of his impending death? In a very real sense, yes.
