I AM GRANDO posted:Zits is inching closer and closer to Dustin territory here. I hope the mom realizes that Jeremy has a point and that mores and cultural expectations change over time. Wasn't she calling somebody else her age, though? Jeremy would have a point if she was calling, like, Pierce or something.

Julet Esqu posted:Why not? Wasn't this a fishing trip for dudes to talk out their marital problems? I'd think on a trip like that you might find at least one or two dudes with marital problems. If Jules was actually interested in telling a story, this would be the point where Mark realizes he's not equipped to deal with the emotional problems these men bring to him, and either calls this whole venture a failure or just sticks to teaching them wilderness survival tips. Hell, I don't even know why he agreed with his friends' idea of acting like a counselor to men having marital problems. I doubt Jules even remembers that bit with how much she half-asses things in this comic. riderchop posted:For Better or For Worse This hits different when you know that story of how Lynn left her kid out in the snow.

Julet Esqu posted:Yeah, Foster cheated. She's looked slim as ever in all the strips leading up to the big faint. It mostly comes out of nowhere. There are a few hints but they only really mean anything with hindsight: a throwaway line about the new fortifications taking months to build, another about a "far more important event than war [being] imminent," and in the scene where she faints she conveniently has a big shawl around her.

I knew it'd get nuts, but Uncle Jeff's plan in Invisible Scarlet O'Neil still took me by surprise. No form of entertainment, no outside stimulus, nothing but yourselves to keep each other company and one loaded gun. He really wants these people to murder each other, huh? I guess Scarlet's gonna sneak in some magazines or board games to keep this couple occupied, huh?

Maybe she'll just be a haunt and scare 'em. Hard to be bored when there's a g-g-g-ghooooost! There's a loaded gun so it checks the Scarlet box of "really inadvisable plan".

Do you remember when the paper added a second page of comics because a wartime zinc shortage meant less pictures? Well, we just hit a wartime paper shortage, and now those two pages of comics that seemed like a good idea at the time have to be squeezed onto a single page.  We will return to the old comics format as soon as the paper shortage is over or the heat death of the universe. Whichever turns out to be less profitable. But let's face it, we've had it too good for too long. EasyEW fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Jan 4, 2024 |

I figured since I've been reading these threads for nearly 20 years now I might as well finally try to contribute something, so here's two strips that fill a very particular void this thread has: A lack of single panel lumpy drawings telling bad jokes! First is Frank and Ernest, a strip which is mostly bad jokes, tongue twisters, and other things that aren't necessarily funny but they are strange. It was started in 1972 by Bob Thaves and has been kept up since his death in 2009 by his son, Tom. GoComics has some archives that go back to the 90's, so I was thinking of posting the current strips as well as one or two old ones per day. Today I wanted to start with January 1st so there's four new ones.     (3/10/1990)  (10/2/1992)  The other strip is Ziggy, the strip about the world's biggest loser for whom everything always goes wrong. Sometimes this takes the form of him trying to use something and it fails comically, or sometimes the joke is that humans revile Ziggy and all his creations. The character is the creation of Tom Wilson, who was in advertising and greeting cards, in the mid-60's, but eventually became a single panel comic strip instead of just pithy card drawings. This is also an heirloom strip, as it was taken over by his son in 1987, Tom Wilson II. Same thing with this one, but the archives go back to the 70's.     (6/27/1971)

As much as I don't gotta hand it to Bernice she has a point if Luann is writing down "maybe this year I can clean my room" as a resolution.  A real misery loves company friendship.Jucika "480 - Jucika And The Rear-View Mirror"  "481 - Jucika And The Paratrooper Instruction"  Darthemed posted:Retail It speaks to the evils of Retail that I didn't actually expect Cooper to get more than an "atta-boy" raise of maybe 50 cents. Considering how long Retail runs this is a reminder that Stuart is pure evil for decades and knew the entire time that Cooper was working two jobs when they slashed his hours.

I'm really grateful to get to read Corto and Blueberry from the start! They were always interesting but I was hesitant to read mid-story. I love the art and writing of Blueberry, it's a really enchanting setting. Corto is kind of a danger magnet, isn't he?
