Mister Beeg posted:It's her life. Let her live This is the correct opinion. Six Chix  A very gimmicky comic which, as the name implies, is done by six different women. The quality between them shifts pretty wildly. Only two of the women here have other comics, Rina Piccolo who does Tina's Groove and Margaret Shulock who does the writing for Apartment 3-G. Zippy the Pinhead  One of the old underground comix, Zippy has been going on since the 1970s. Not many people here enjoy it, but I do. It doesn't always succeed, but most of the time it tries to draw its humor through absurdism. Griffith is also always referencing tacky Americana, so if you see a weird statue or something then it probably actually exists. Though it doesn't shine through in the comic a lot of the time, Griffith is actually a really crazy good illustrator. Nancy  A zombie strip that's done by everybody's favorite fan of country music, Jesus, and America, Guy Gilchrist. The only thing that makes this worse is that it used to be good. Momma  gently caress Momma. Wee Pals  Wee Pals, done by the 90 year old Morrie Turner, is fantastic. I originally started posting it because I thought it was kinda lovely, but it's grown on everybody. It started out in the 1960s as a racially diverse comic, and gained popularity after the assassination of MLK Jr. Morrie Turner clearly does not give a gently caress anymore, and has started doing comics about stuff like Trayvon Martin. We all love him for it. Andertoons  Andertoons is very understated. It has simple artwork, relies way too much on graph jokes, and reuses the same few settings like crazy. In spite of that, though, it manages to stay generally pretty good. I like it, and as far as I know the thread consensus on it is positive.

This is a minor complaint, but why is the smoke alarm emitting a single note? I've only ever heard them beep. Unless they were different in the 70s? Of course though, I'd imagine most homes back then didn't even have the things. Six Chix  Zippy the Pinhead  Nancy  I'm honest to god surprised that this isn't about a country musician.

bonestructure posted:With all the effort he spent stretching that to six panels, he could have written an actual joke. I figure at this point Nancy is a good 90% clipart. I don't have anything to support that beyond the white halos they have, but it feels like something Gilchrist would do.

JaggerMcDagger posted:I'm more confused about the set up. Like did it use to be a newspaper comic strip, and then the author was like "I have too much to say!" Was it like "The Creeps" where it just was posted on a comic affiliate but never actually in a paper? I think it started in an LGBTQ alt-weekly or something like that.

catlord posted:So, right now it's reruns with some new material added? Because he's a lazy sack of poo poo? And his added stuff is cutting into the reruns making it even more confusing? Who the gently caress are the guys in the first two panels? What do they have to do with anything? I don't remember them before, were their reruns skipped over? gently caress you, Brooke. I think the dieing guy is the same person in the middle panel there because when the flashback started he was holding his hand up against his head, in the same way they're holding the phones. I have no idea how or why this is important.

I don't even like original Nancy all that much, although it's usually good for a chuckle--I'm just constantly offended by how Gilchrist has hijacked the strip and turned it into something saccharine and self-serving. Goddammit.

Once Wee Pals hits permanent reruns I'm going to stop posting it, so in the meantime I'll be trying out a few replacements. Prepare for a small glut of comics today. Six Chix  Zippy the Pinhead  Nancy  Momma  Wee Pals  Andertoons  Four Eyes  A single panel comic about dogs. It's newer and it only updates 3 times a week, so I'm starting from the beginning. From what I've seen it's actually pretty funny. Arlo and Janis  Pretty okay comic about a middle aged couple, similar to Rose is Rose except not unbearably sweet. If you don't understand the joke then it means they're talking about sex. Lost Side of Surburbia  I have precisely no clue what this is about but I'm posting it because I like the art. Zachary Nixon Johnson  Some sort of story driven thing. It only updates 3 times a week and is also newish, so I'm starting from the beginning. Seems like it could be interesting so I'm honestly sort of curious to see where it goes.
