Cowslips Warren posted:i think so. but realistically had he stayed at Grumbles, he would have been way up the corp ladder before Marla made DM. I doubt it, and I say this because the former boss whose name I already forget was an exceptionally lazy man. Promoting Josh sounds like work.

I really hope everything works out for the best for you and your family, and I appreciate the time you take to get what you post here. ~Coxy posted:I've very sorry to hear that, I hope everything works out OK. Thank you so much. She should be home sometime next week for the longer-return recuperation, and then we can figure it out where we go from there. Hip bones are no joke when you're getting along in years. And while we're on the topic of putting in the work for the love of intelligent lines and blotches, newspaper comics fans, consider yourself called: the ilovecomix archive is running a Kickstarter to self-host a massive collection of newsprint scans and other contributions after an expensive cloud hosting service did the archive dirty. As a research tool, it's remarkable stuff. As readers, it's the goddamn candy store. And of course, until the recent hosting misfortunes, it was one of the first places I looked for anything.

Maybe it's because of all the talk about how Randy's Popeye sucks at conveying action, but it's making me appreciate how this fight scene between imaginary friends looks so dynamic. Hostile V posted:Neverending Child Adventures Huh, I just realized why Holbrook had Bruno and Corrie adopt instead. It's just so that bat-hedgehog abomination can have a built-in best friend and/or love interest when they grow up. And here I thought it was rather sus how the trans-sheep character can't have a sheep-wolf kid when Lindefarne could've easily DNA magic'd up a spawn for them. Murdstone posted:Mary Worth Ughhh, this is making me sick.  What stands out to me is how, even now that we're at the end, Military Man here still doesn't engage with his daughter's interests or get to know her on her own terms. She's the one who becomes impressed with his guitar playing, when chances are that she's the one who owns that guitar. And even though she's telling the ex-cop that she's attending an anti-cop protest, he doesn't have anything to say to her.

Giant Ethicist posted:We Are Reproducing What a bizarre note to end on. The flow of the narrative seems primed to bite her in the rear end for her decision to ignore the doctor and pediatrician's orders. But then it turns out the baby was unable to sleep for a completely different reason instead? I like WaR just fine, but I can see why this bit bugs the hell out of the others ITT. riderchop posted:Safe Havens These mice experiment strips hit differently knowing that DNA Wizard isn't even researching anything anymore. She's just wasting the university's time and budget, and disrespecting her test subjects by giving them pretend-work. riderchop posted:whatever man I have to wonder if this was written before or after Lynn found out about her husband having an affair. I remember there was this Livejournal account that analyzed her autobiography, and it floated this idea that Lynn may have possibly had an affair herself. The "if my partner will cheat, then so will I" mentality might explain why the comic was so desperate to tell readers that Anthony was a good person. Then again, maybe I'm just reading too much into this comic and its just about vegetarianism. On that note, this is yet another strip where the comic pretending to be more modern than it is just doesn't work. Yeah, eating vegetarian dishes is healthy and people stick to the diet because they want to make a stand regarding the ethical consumption of animals, but Foobmom treats it like some kind of fad to make her look like A Good Person. Forcing the family to take up the diet just because she did, and then getting mad that they don't follow it, just makes her look like the jerk here.

She threw a toddler out into two-digit below zero temperatures as a punishment for screaming. Self-justified revenge adultery is not beyond Lynn Johnston's psychotic state.

So mom is interrogating the one boy about the victory garden, her question about farmers plowing fields in the fall implies that she wonders if the victory garden needs to be hoed and spaded up for the fall. That's extra work, so her son is shoving a broom handle under the rug to tap his friend's foot and get him to say "no, that's not needed". Mom blocks the line of communication (broomstick) with a cleverly placed foot.

EasyEW posted:Because there's a good chance I didn't say exactly what was going on, there was a family medical emergency that popped up roughly three weeks ago that is still ongoing and, because I've been designated a certain role in caregiving (and because I feel like I'm still trying to figure out what the hell I'm doing), it's been eating up almost the entirety of my waking hours. I'm posting what I can handle in a day, and as soon as things settle down I'll hopefully get back to my regular schedule. That's terrible and I'm sorry to hear it.

I appreciate the thought, but even though throttling back is an option I'm using at the moment, this is one of those things I do out of enjoyment. Nothing short of that dream gig of making OOW: The Animated Movie could take me out for more than a few days. And to do that, I'd have to actually be in the animation industry, so you're stuck with me for a while longer.
