Legend of Bill is clearly the strip he's putting effort into (not that it's working, but still, effort) and so Intelligent Life is even more autopilot than it was originally.

catlord posted:I hate this comic and I hate that the author thinks this is what loving nerds like me want to read. How has he regressed so far from Legend of Bill? Legend of Bill isn't even good! Meaning no disrespect to the poster, whenever I accidentally read Intelligent Life, I imagine it's how it felt in medieval times to walk by a house just when someone's emptying their chamber pot out the window.

This isn't a criticism of Sally Forth but just an observation: the series about how awful it is to survive winter would hit its mark a lot more cleanly if a lot of the winter I've experienced didn't have temperatures almost touching 70 degrees. Granted, there have been a few bitterly cold periods and snow showers, but it's hardly "bleak midwinter" out there for me.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:I know, but this has also been an unusually warm winter, if I'm not mistaken. 'Sup fellow warm winter buddy? Yeah it has, but my guess is that this plotline was probably planned out months ago, and it probably makes more sense to tell a more generally relatable story about endless, cold, grey, winter, than "unseasonably warm". There will certainly be a "We're hosed, climate change is real, why have you done nothing" plot line in Sally Forth, rest assured.

So I think I have the comics-fetching script working again after the Comics Kingdom redesign, at least for Mac/Linux/WSL. I'm still tweaking it a little, and of course translating it for the Windows users (and cursing how Powershell makes extremely simple text-string wrangling so drat complicated). I'll make a separate post later today with the updated code. Bizarro  Whoa, they even destroyed all the Bizarro hidden symbols. The Family Circus  Slylock Fox  I hereby title this drawing "Anime Girl With Hangover". Flash Gordon  Oh, like happened to Geordi and Ro that one time.

Strontium posted:Intelligent Life All of these sucked, but I'm especially peeved about this one as a skeptic turned Way of Water diehard. That movie was a blast and a reminder that Jim Cameron is probably the best action/SFX director to ever work in cinema; be excited that he wants to devote his AARP years to making more 3-hour spectacles where his giant blue cat people softball environmentalist messaging between virtuoso white-knuckle action sequences. And also - this isn't news! Cameron has been going on about his 5+ movie plan for 15 years now, your time to bag on him for this was a decade ago!

It's especially ironic given that (I'm pretty sure) Jim Keefe is from somewhere in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, and that Sally Forth is nominally set somewhere around here too. The high was 63 degrees on Monday this week, there's some real cognitive dissonance for me in these recent strips

Malachite_Dragon posted:so it's talking about 30 years before the time of the comic, got it, I've fundamentally misunderstood it up to this point apparently. I am not a particularly clever man. 30 years too soon for WWII, which did start in 1939...but not for Americans, just like how WWI started in 1914, but not for Americans. The soldiers strolling past are enlisted men [conscription is on hiatus from the Civil War until 1917 when the US enters WWI] remarking they'll just get service stripes for their efforts and no combat medals.
