Feeling a little inadequate?
I'm most definitely a "he" for all who are interested. :v:

Some moderate copypasta from my post from the last thread:

Jane's World started last year off running at least 3 days a week. Normally Tue/Wed/Thu, but Paige changed it up in the Fall of last year, and now we normally see it Tue-Fri. These last two holiday weeks have been a little weird though, I would assume that Paige will start things up normally again next week. "Jane's World is best described as a smart ensemble comedy, blending the classic comic strip style of Lynn Johnston with the racier writing style of shows like Sex and the City and Friends. Jane is the lesbian heir to the hard-luck Charlie Brown, somehow always winding up as the punch line in her own comic."



I like Non Sequitur (drawn by Wiley Miller) a fair bit too, even though it can get boring sometimes. Wiley goes for droll type humor most of the time.

I edited all the "awards" crap out of this one..

"Non Sequitur is Wiley Miller's wry look at the absurdities of everyday life. A hit with fans of all ages, the strip is syndicated in more than 700 newspapers. This hilarious creation is not only creative but also clever. It tackles current cultural issues such as politics, celebrities, male-female relations, materialistic desires and society's obsession with weight. Non Sequitur will have you laughing at the controversy of everyday life. Currently we're in the midst of a non-operational satellite TV story, and Danae is pitching a fit:



I like Heavenly Nostrils a lot. It usually is pretty good at delivering :3: moments. From GoComics: "It all started when Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond and accidentally hit a unicorn in the face. Improbably, this led to Phoebe being granted one wish, and using it to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her obligational best friend. But can a vain mythical beast and a nine-year-old daydreamer really forge a connection?"



See? :3:

And here's a cool animated Marigold from Dana's blog site...



There was that Raine Dog thing, but we won't go there. :v:

Kliban's Cats gets posted on Tuesdays, and Thursdays. I'm not entirely sure why I like this strip so much, I just do. And yeah, I have three cats. From GoComics: "If by some strange happenstance you have never before seen a Kliban cat drawing, you will instantly recognize that each and every one of them captures the essence of…. cat. A well-established illustrator and cartoonist (Playboy, The New Yorker, Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head, et al) B. Kliban used to devote off-moments in his studio to drawing his felines Nitty, Norton, Burton Rustle and Noko Marie the Snake. An editor friend saw this work and convinced Kliban to let her take it publishers, and in 1975 Workman published CAT, a huge bestseller which inspired an outbreak of cat love that has not abated to this day. That groundbreaking book was followed by more books, and more drawings, which manifested on calendars, cards, mugs, ceramics, clothing – almost 9,000 unique items to date. And the book that started it all is still in print. Cat people of the world, rejoice -- and savor the twice-a-week pleasure of KLIBAN’S CATS."

This was last year's New Year's Day installment, which, honestly, I think was better than yesterday's:



Benard Kliban's regular comic gets posted Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Here's the description from GoComics: "B. Kliban’s vast body of playful, surreal irreverent free-form work is well overdue for re-discovery. An innovator who significantly expanded the realm of cartooning, Kliban inspired a generation with his no-limits approach. His numerous books – Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head, Whack Your Porcupine, Two Guys Fooling Around With the Moon among them – spread the Kliban vision far and wide, and put the term “Klibanesque” in the dictionary. His constructions – whether single-panel drawings (“Mental floss.”), multi-panel sequences (“Four Useless Motions”) or eight-panel image-poems (“Sheer Pottery”) – push fearlessly forward into unexplored territory. Welcome to his unique and compelling world."



:psyduck: Yeah, and sometimes he can get a little weird. :v:

9 Chickweed Lane has been described in a previous post, so I won't subject you to that pain again. I've been posting re-runs of the strip from exactly 11 years ago just to compare and contrast with the current strips. Personally, I find Brooke's older stuff maybe a bit lighter, and definitely funnier than his current installments including Pibgorn.

Here's 9 Chickweed Lane for 1/1/2003:



Welp. :ughh:

Zits runs in my local paper's comic section, and I kind of like it because I'm the father of four, two of which are boys (22, and almost 21). From the official site (edited a bit for size): "Sixteen-year-old Jeremy Duncan is a high school freshman and an aspiring musician. Jeremy is a good kid. He is intelligent and kind, yet he still has the attitude that one would expect from a teenager. His unpredictable mood swings and monosyllabic answers to his parents’ mild-mannered questions often leave them baffled and bemused.

Created in 1997 by Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Jim Borgman and Reuben Award-winning cartoonist/writer Jerry Scott, Zits appears in more 1,600 newspapers worldwide in 45 countries and is translated into 15 different languages. The comic has an estimated daily readership of more than 200 million readers. Zits is the only strip in comics history to achieve that milestone in the short span of nine years.

The creators, who are parents themselves, have a keen insight into the many physical and emotional changes that teens go through during adolescence, and they have the gift of addressing these common dilemmas with compassion and humor."




Kevin & Kell is, well, I don't know. Lately, it's not been very funny at all. It's yet another Bill Holbrook strip, and here's his quick synopsis from the site: "Years ago, Kevin Kindle the rabbit and Kell Dewclaw the wolf met in an online chat room. After falling head over heels for each other, they decided to meet in person. It wasn't until then that they realized they were from separate ends of the food chain.

However, the relationship they'd developed online overcame Kevin's instinct for self-preservation, and Kell's heart melted from such a demonstration of trust. Kell was energetic and vivacious, qualities Kevin had found lacking in herbivores. Such a relationship between predator and prey seemed doomed to fail but these two opposites were determined to overcome the barriers that society placed in their path."




Yeah. Those physics totally work.

I normally post a screencap of Nemi garnered from the e-version of the UK's Metro newspaper. Since they're all on the Christmas Holiday over the past couple of weeks, SubNat and others have been grabbing a few strips and posting them. I would expect everything to return to normal come Monday. I'll add the first paragraph from the wikipedia entry: "Nemi is a Norwegian comic strip, written and drawn by Lise Myhre. It made its first appearance in 1997 under the title Den svarte siden ("the Black Side" or "the Black Page"). At that time, it was a very dark cartoon concerning heavy metal subcultures. Over the years Myhre has turned it brighter, though she still frequently publishes strips about serious issues, especially in the larger Saturday panels. The strip was renamed Nemi after its protagonist, a young goth woman."

Ok, that was a pretty massive post, so I cover a bit about Dan Dare later. Oh yes, and I'll finally debut the "derp collection" later today! Promise!

Yeah, Paige has been doing "flashbacks" (euphemism for "reruns") for quite a while now. I've gotten to the point where I completely forget what was happening in the current plot. I don't know if she's been redirecting her efforts elsewhere, or what. I see random Jane related stuff pop up on her FB from time to time, but I've not researched any further to see what she's up to.

Here's a link from the Jane's World wikipedia page that describes the characters, including the ones that are in the current story.

Those are clearly "real band names". Years ago, back when punk was a thing, I used to go to clubs in the then River Street side of the Cleveland, Ohio "Flats", and listen to a really pretty good local punk band called "Millions Of Dead French Fries". So, yeah.

OK, this is sort of amusing, Holbrook. I can totally see preschool kids pulling a stunt like this.

I had no idea what she was talking about until I GIS'd it. Never saw the movie. Is what she's saying correct? Because, it is kind of funny that the only pair of shoes the character could find would be high heels... in a post apocalyptic movie. :v:

Boyce is still on his roll. Not funny, but at least comprehensible.


Just like we've been saying regarding F Minus, to me, this Bizarro was pretty good, when usually they're just kind of, "eh, ok".


I've always loved Red Meat. I lost it at "elective" frontal lobotomy... :v:

Looks like colourist gently caress-up. Same way that the dad's disappears after it meets the steering wheel.

In fact, if you're traveling the world for it and after accounting for shipping times it's not really fresh.

You can clearly (:lol:) see Dustin's shirt through the glass, but the chick's midsection is invisible?

I love Cap'n Eddie. There's a guy like him that I talk to occasionally at our local bar. Well, he's not a fisherman -- he drives a cement truck, but, whatever. He's convinced that the reason we have Global Warming is because of the space program. "You see all that fire? That's what caused it. You plain just can't have that much fire without screwing up the planet." The more I drink, the more plausible his "theories" become. He's also convinced that his neighbor's water well is somehow tied to his septic system because when the neighbor is watering his garden, his toilet makes booming sounds. Yep. :v:

Heavenly Nostrils is late once again.

Beautiful. That cat's face... :lol:
