If ZNJ had done the No Code storyline first, it would have been a thing worth reading.

If it had been written well, flowed properly, or was interesting in any way at all, it would have been worth reading.

Somebody please get Boyce some help

Do you think he's actually used anything electronic in the past 50 years? It always seems like he has a really fundamental misunderstanding of everything he tries to write about.

Mandrake is so loving good, you guys. I'm still not tired of Theron being a jerk to absolutely everyone.

I know, right? I wish this strip could just be about Mandrake's dad loving with people and not giving a poo poo because it's 100x better since he came in :allears:

This is strangely lucid and almost funny for Boyce.

He has a strange pattern to his 'jokes'. About once a week, he'll write something absolutely impenetrably bizarre or blatantly incorrect/misspelled, and then the next week he'll write something completely sensible, and if not funny, then understandable. Clearly, Compu-toon is actually a medical thesis on stroke victims rather than an actual comic.

I get that newspaper comic characters dont usually age, but for some reason it bothers me so much that the baby in this strip is old enough to speak and eat baby food but has no hair. Ok fine some babies are born bald, but gently caress does the kid have cancer or something? What is the matter with it?

Judging by its speech patterns, which are advanced, fluent English sentences but horribly mangled beyond belief as if it has some kind of eldritch accent, it may actually be some sort of atrocious hellbeast mimicking a human child.

You know, until it got fouled up by the subsequent strips, we very nearly came close to someone in Intelligent Life realizing that being a huge manchild is a bad thing.

Did Mandrake get a new writer or something? The text is actually coherent and not ultra truncated anymore.

I never quite understood what was going on with the Osbornes hair in Spiderman, can anyone explain it to me? Cut in stripes? Really weird cornrows? I've seen modern pictures of the hair too and its still perplexing.

Once a month there's a joke that makes sense and is funny (well, comparatively) and once a month there is complete stroketastic nonsense like this. It's uncanny how clockwork it is.

It's been brutally obvious for like a month now that the "race" in the Phantom is actually a test of character over skill, so what inane conclusion will be made so that Guran wins?
