Elohssa Gib posted:Finally, it has been awhile since I saw the Raine Dog page, but was wondering could there be a simpler explanation for the scene or is it just my memory refusing to accept what was there? The simplest explanation is that Dana Simpson really needs an editor. The less simple speculative explanation is that comic as a whole came out of Dana while she was undergoing gender reassignment and likely really stressed and trying to find herself. The comic as a whole dealt with a lot of issues about identity and gender, and was already really weird as it did this through an intelligent dog that had been spayed. Things went really awry when the comic went into the dog's origins and built up a basic dog and boy story that suddenly got a lot of inappropriate turns jammed into it that lead to the infamous pedo-bestiality sequence.

Tiggum posted:I like Jane's World, but it is ridiculously hard to follow. Are we supposed to know who this Dorrie is or what wedding they're talking about? Is any of this even happening in the present or are we still three layers deep in nested flashbacks? I like Jane's World, but it's starting to feel like Rip Haywire, but with lesbian drama. Just constant rising action and climaxes but nothing else.

For a moment I thought this was going to be an actual amusing joke about Elly pressganging Michael into playing an instrument then acting like it was his idea. But no, just more about how she's the martyr that's put upon by everyone.

Maxwell Lord posted:I'm getting increasingly confused as to how Paley made something as good as Sita Sings the Blues when the strip is this shallow and annoying. That Nina's Adventures is from 1993. Sita Sings the Blues was released in 2008. That was 15 years Paley had to grow as a person. I don't think it's that surprising she changed substantially in that time period.

Mr. Squishy posted:I'll state again that Nina's Adventures are really good, and anyone with doubts about the humourousness of its tone seems to me to be so tone-deaf that I question their basic literacy. Also Momma owns. Yeah, I don't mean to criticize it when I said she had 15 years to grow. I'm enjoying the comic, but some of the stuff like the Christmas one do come off as a bit whiny in tone. I imagine that wasn't really her intention, though, and it was just supposed to be funny.

sweetguts posted:I'm pretty sure the joke we're SUPPOSED to get from this is "haha, Tiffany is vain and terrible and loves anything that looks even remotely like her face" but I choose to interpret it as her being genuinely flattered and cheered up by the kind gesture of a child. I know it's not true, but I can dream. Yes, I also choose to interpret this as the tipping point where Tiffany suddenly understands and cherishes her chance to interact with these kids. She recants and keeps her job, finding it more fulfilling than anything she's ever done before. Meanwhile Luann continues to dump on her anyway because Luann is a bland rear end in a top hat.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:9 Chickweed Lane 1/23/2003 Other than what I guess will be later revelations that show Juliette and Edna have a really weird relationship devoid of any sort of filter about sex that normally exists between mother and daughter, I will say those are likely the best teeth McEldowney has ever drawn. They still have pulpy dough faces, but the teeth actually look sort of human rather than hideous hellmaws.

My Lovely Horse posted:Les is being a dick but I'm with him here. Not just on the general principle of being an antagonist to the despicable main cast but the dude's gotta pee and ten others with him and you don't get to occupy all the loos all on your own. If this were any other comic I would expect it about to be a moral about Zero Tolerance rules with Knut and the girl getting into trouble for fighting and using the boy's restroom because who the gently caress ropes off a restroom for a single person when there's apparently enough students about to form a line at the girl's bathroom. But since this is Luann I'm guessing Knut suffers no repercussions for trying to choke out Les because hey, as you said, designated villain.

Mr. Squishy posted:Maybe that drawing associates with the gender assigned at birth but happens to enjoy cross-dressing, way to assume Shujogun Being that it's a Mike Lester drawing I'm pretty sure it's impossible it's anything else. I would be absolutely shocked that Mike "I take selfies at Chick-fil-a to show those faggots what for" Lester could conceive of transgenderism as anything other than gross hairy men wanting to wear wigs and use women's bathrooms. So glad he can do this in the funniest section now rather than just the editorials section.

TofuDiva posted:I am, but it started being posted here at the tail end of a story. You're seeing the wrap-up of a pretty involved storyline that's been going on for a long while. I've been reading it on Gocomics almost since he started the strip. Somebody mentioned Lovecraft, but the art reminds me of Dr Seuss. Really? This felt like the start of a new storyline that was likely using previously seen character. I went back a few strips before the ones that started being posted here and this one felt like the start of a new storyline. It's the first mention of Slynderfell I saw going back through the archives for a bit, at least. I'm going to read it from the start at some point either way though.

Manuel Calavera posted:Compu-Toon And here is the most loving surreal Compu-Toon I've seen. I'm from Mississippi, and when I read it I thought, "Oh, there must be plenty of podunk towns named Tupelo." Then I looked up where Boyce actually lives. He lives in Olive Branch, Mississippi, meaning he's about an hour from the Birthplace of The King, Tupelo, MS. Which I grew up also an hour away from. It is doubly surreal to now know that not only the guy that does Lucky Cow but also Boyce both live in Mississippi.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:9 Chickweed Lane 2/18/2003 I just realized why this rung a bell deep in my memory pile by combining "Inexplicable reference to the word 'Arabesque' with 'hideous comic.'" I remembered it because of Areba Koala and his sister Arabesque. I'm starting to think Brooke is just going down the definition list of the word "Arabesque" to make comics. I suppose in a few days we're going to see some loving Arabesque architecture to cap off this Trifecta of poo poo that Brooke is pushing.

(Literally the plot of the book is that a rich old gently caress dies and is restored from a upload of his brain which leads him to hiring Takeshi Kovacs as a P.I. to discover why he died.)
