The real twist is that not only did Gunther do nothing wrong, not only did Bets need to do all the growth, but Stefani gets to be the avatar of the lovely fans to have two people to scold over poor Gun. Thanks, I hate it.

That Luann drives me nuts for two reasons. 1: The picture Stef posted is the most benign vanilla-rear end “friends at a party” picture ever and that it could cause such a shitstorm tells you all you need to know about the Evanses’ sensibilities. 2: what the gently caress is that last panel? Look at it! It’s be meme-fodder if Luann wasn’t such a niche entity.

You know, the dad in Dustin really is one of the worst. I highly suspect that if his wife started putting on the weight that his doctor always tells him he needs to lose, never mind that his weight fluctuates from strip to strip and he's never actually obese, but if his wife started gaining weight you know for sure Ed would have something to say about it.

Dustin’s dad is literally, canonically the type of guy who is annoyed when people say “no problem” after you thank them, because “I DON’T WANT TO HEAR SERVING ME MIGHT BE A NUISANCE!” I can’t even fathom being that loving lame.

Ed Kudlick is basically the boomer stereotype writ large, but the insidious thing about the comic is it expects the reader to be on his side. (kids are lazy! wimmin be shoppin!) It's kind of fascinating because it's not a POV we see a lot of any more.

Murdstone posted:The Phantom I'm not gonna blame the fill-in artist since I'm sure he or she was given notes, but the main writer & artist reallllly horn it up for Savarna, don't they? It's downright awkward. Gotta say though, if this lovely-rear end arc hadn't somehow taken like four IRL years to get through, trying to dodge a future with a Savarna lineage of phantoms only to have your son fall for her instead would be a  kind of ending. But nope, gently caress everything about all of this.

Drakyn posted:What I think about sometimes when Kevin and Kell gets like this is Sherman's Lagoon, which is also a strip about talking animals constantly eating each other - hell, the titular character is a great white shark that's basically a milder-mannered Homer Simpson, appetite included - and it has never once ever had these sorts of issues entirely because of one thing: the strip has zero interest in establishing the characters as moral paragons. Every single member of the cast is ultimately some kind of selfish or deficient jerk to one degree or another, because those elements lend themselves easily to comedy, and that also means you don't have this insane omnipresent tension where characters are killing and eating people while simultaneously being portrayed as the best people ever whose suffering is totally unwarranted and unjust and whose triumphs are righteous and deserved. Overboard is the main thing being posted in the thread that's closest to this, since Scratch and the sharks are clearly intended to be read kind of sympathetically even as they fantasize about eating other characters. But the flip side of this is that we never actually see them eat anybody. And really, for all his flaws, even the writer of Overboard likely recognizes that having them eat anyone on-panel would ruin them as characters no matter how evilly the person being eaten is portrayed. theironjef posted:My favorite takeaway from that Holbrook storyline is the establishment that there is a social class with some legal protection from predation now, and it's "member of a hate group." To be fair this isn't too far off from real life.

The thing I hate about this story in Luann is that Team Evans puts the entirety of the blame on Bets for the crime of being a funhaver. She's sorry for leaving Gunther, she's sorry for being too focused on being an irresponsible influencer, and now she's being painted as selfish. Meanwhile, Gunther expressed happiness at the idea of Bets's influencer career being hurt by him not being there and that passes by with no comment.Murdstone posted:Mark Trail loving get on with it.

Scary Go Round (April 14-16, 2004)   Well, that was quick! Tomorrow we start a side story idiosyncratically called Count My Toes. It's a brief return to the 4-panel-a-day format and also a brief jaunt into John Allison changing the font to something somehow worse than Comic Sans! Apparently the eBook version has Comic Sans and a slightly different ending but I don't own the eBooks and scraped these strips from the Internet Archive so you're getting it the same way I did originally and every re-read since: with all the peak 2004 webcomic mistakes intact
