I like how the style's changed to be just a little bit more advanced from the typical form while A+J are talking about art studies. That's cute.

Probably just a "but I need my packages now!" type more than "Screw unions", but either way the attitude sucks poo poo.

The archmage of unexpected stinks.

So I remember when Rose is Rose was first being discussed before being brought in there was a lot of discussion about it being unpleasant in a sort of 9 Chickweed Lane Way. Is that something that happens later? Right now it just seems to be an artist that can only draw ballet poses and untroubled people and if those two things cannot reach a punchline well gently caress you they're syndicated anyhow.

it's never been anywhere near 9CWL levels of bad in its entire history. the original artist was just very obviously into fat women and there were some strips with the thinner Rose compared negatively to her larger mother, stuff about her needing to eat more/feeding her stuff, that gave off some seriously horny vibes (in that repressed Catholic way it does all emotions, anyway)

Oh I think I remember this from some binging this whole thing is the last mention of Ruth in the comic right? I remember feeling kind of sad about that, since she (& the rest of Gene's friends) was such a recurring character and just fell away.

Typical for A+J's extended cast, just dropping them in & out & then out for good without any fanfare life goes on yadda yadda, but Ruth stood out for me a little more for whatever reason.

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

SHAILEY! Who is this lisson chieftain? I suppose we will have to find out. If she seems even to slightly arouse a memory, I have to warn you, even the old faces you know reveal new sides in the savage New Hyborian Age, which demands less in the way of children’s book authorship and more in the way of surviving quasi-Celtic tribal society.
