Fingerpori![]() quote:Lions Clubs International, is an international service organization established in 1917 in Chicago, Illinois, by Melvin Jones.[2] The organization is currently headquartered in Oak Brook, IL. As of January 2020, it had over 46,000 local clubs and more than 1.4 million members (including the youth wing Leo) in more than 200 countries and geographic areas around the world.[3] But I think this is a Classic Nancy rear end joke where Jarla had the punchline in mind and then concocted a specific scenario to get there more than a joke about the Lions Club specifically.

You know, I try not to rag on the art in Rae the Doe because it seems to be coming from a nice earnest place, but drawing Shrek with generic triangular furry ears and then drawing his ogre ears hanging off them like weird little dongles goes past "this art isn't very good" and into active perversity

The way Demons of Baseball manages to make even praying for a ball to keep rolling so that it can foul Copper Ma suitably tense is really drat good drama. And it's hilarious that the second they've pulled through, Planck smugs it up and is all "That's right, you loving loser, god loves us - just like how your wife loves me!"

Seriously that would be pretty hard. Currently we are mentally preparing ourselves to ignore any desire to talk to my grandfather because he’s become a horrible rear end in a top hat who stubbornly refuses to accept forgiveness and would prefer to deny his past actions against all his children and grandchildren (beatings not sex stuff and not even severe beatings). However this comic gets pretty repetitive with it and I’d prefer if they just went back to werewolve themed band stuff or starwars holiday jokes.

The mom is an awful old battle axe but at this point she's self sufficient and has told her daughters twice that she'd rather attend her community gatherings over the family ones but they insisted on carting her over to make them miserable. So everybody sucks and we can only hope the explosion is enough to achieve the desired by both sides severing. Will Sally's Mom ever have that epiphany and realize she was wrong? Or hell, Sally herself? Don't count on it but we're well past the point where we never want to see these characters together in panel again. It's fine drama but author, please, poo poo or get off the pot! Jucika "432 - Jucika And The Contagious Example" ![]() "433 - Jucika And Her Husband At The Fair" ![]() Kinky!

Whether or not Mom should have been brought to the party, she's there, and she's chosen to vent her feelings with lovely below the belt attacks on Jackie and her shop. We've seen Jackie struggle to keep this shop afloat so for mom to sit there and do catty digs sucks, even if Sally/Jackie were wrong to bring her there.

They should have let her stay at the drat home! Has she EVER been pleasant to be around, at all, ever? Ted's mom's new bf, the cool dude, should intervene, tell both sides why they suck, and take the kids and Ted's mom out for some kickass hot chocolate and Ralph can tag along if he wants.

garfield hentai posted:I was reading through the Fantagraphics Popeye Sunday collections and laughed out loud at this panel, both because it's funny on its own merits and because of how much Segar's "guy doesn't actually know how to fight" pose reminded me of that Milholland panel with the terrible lines of action Crab Dad posted:Is that Ham? garfield hentai posted:That's Eggy, a bit character who shows up a few times - one of Olive Oyl's suitors, and fighter extraordinaire! The Sundays are a lot of fun and while there are some arcs they tend to be more gag-oriented than the dailies. This post made me think about how one of the issues with Randy's Popeye is the overly lovey-dovey monogamy. In the original strips, as we see, Olive will flirt with guys to try and make Popeye jealous, and Popeye will also contemplate having emotional affairs with the ocean. The point being, that guys aren't treated as bad people for expressing romantic interest in Olive, since this is an important part of the dynamic. And yeah, I thought this was Ham at first too for that same reason, since it's how he's being used in Randy's Popeye. And literally two panels of Eggy here are funnier than all of the Ham stuff put together in Randy's Popeye. In both cases the joke is just that the antagonist just being a bad person who sucks at fighting, but there's actual energy in these panels that's just incredible.

Some Guy TT posted:In both cases the joke is just that the antagonist just being a bad person who sucks at fighting, but there's actual energy in these panels that's just incredible. Yeah, it sells an understanding of the personality of the characters. Popeye is willing to go along with the guy to help him out but is comically bad at throwing a fight so even his "getting beat up" stance sucks, but not due to lack of effort from the artist. Same as how Eggy's fighting stance is awful, yet not awfully drawn. I believe the old adage is that you have to have genuine talent to imitate something poorly and give it any charm. The difference between reading Tails Gets Trolled and say... Ctrl Alt Delete. I think something else that really helps is the back and forth between other side characters and background characters is much better. People react to the shenanigans and it helps sell them in that second Eggy panel. A lot of the mediocre modern strips do strictly 1 on 1 conversations and anybody who isn't talking ceases to exist until addressed. The more I think about it the more I recognize how often this happens in good strips. Valiant and Demons of Baseball would never shortchange you on the reactions of those nearby the panel happenings!
