I love how these Olde Timey comics always go out of their way to explain what's going on. The whole "plot" is in the title, then every character says what they're doing as they're doing it in drawn-out detail. And I legit love the Old Crossing Watchman. He's like a cubicle worker who can take his cube home with him at night.

Mister Beeg posted:Nina's Adventures (December 3, 1993) I can't imagine a single moment where Nina would be even remotely tolerable in real life. Her whole personality seems to be based around "I don't see the value of <thing>, therefore it has no value at all."

Foxy Grampa invented the mech suit?  I'm also surprised that the fifth panel doesn't have a caption saying "Oh! The barrel is chasing us! How can this be? Quickly, we must escape around the corner!" or something.

So the assumption here was that the guy who just escaped from prison and was on the lam managed to get an actual cane for his hurt leg and would have stopped somewhere to buy a toothbrush.

Ham Shears gets a song stuck in your head. The Dinette Set gets into Retail territory.  Seriously, gently caress the "oh I know you close in three minutes and want to go home but I still wanna shop" types. I was lucky that for a long time I had a manager who'd actually kick people out at closing time.

Julet Esqu posted:We never have been told exactly what Dag's life was before Christ (we know he is/was an addict), or what exactly he did to his mother (we know she still won't talk to him), but every once in a while Kevin Frank gives us a small hint. Compare this to Funky Winkerbean. I feel like the Dag character has so much more depth than any of Batiuk's characters with a tragic past that he's been spoonfeeding us all these years, and that Dag's story is much more affecting, too.

Gil is being revived as a Sunday-only comic carried by one paper, the Providence Journal, and Norm Feuti's apparent masochistic willingness to work for the paltry wages that come with that. Well, it worked for Kevin and Kell for umpteen years so why not. Another reason to be proud of my home state. We've produced Family Guy, Retail, Gil, and 38 Studios. We're on a roll!

Actually, now you mention it, when did Gilchrist take over? Was it a sudden tonal shift with his first comic, or was it a slow change into the current shmaltzy strip we know and love?

Well, if Gilchrist is only pandering to his intended audience, he's got a PhD in knowing what they want.

EasyEW posted:Exactly. The initial shift was from Jerry Scott's drastic redesign back to something with at least a surface resemblance to "golden age" Bushmiller. We're in the middle of Guy's real whiplash change, the one where out of nowhere he started reaching for unearned emotional resonance by telling extended stories about these wind-up punchline machines.
