Between Wee Pals, The Amazing Spider-Man, One Big Happy, and Pickles, this thread is a goldmine of comics by and/or about mad old people.

I didn't realize until now that Guy Gilchrist signs his name like it's the Disney logo.

This Mandrake story is probably the best thing I've ever read in a newspaper comic. Especially compared to the total lack of anything happening The Phantom's had lately.

Speaking of Sergio Aragones, does anyone still have that edit of him winning Prom Queen (or whatever) in Luann from a couple threads ago?

Next, The Phantom is gonna tell us about this time he totally owned this guy in a movie theater and everybody else started clapping, and then they totally started riffing on the movie MST3k-style.

Seriously, both Phantom storylines right now read like Walker's writing fanfiction about himself. Edit: And it's totally pointless because she's getting brainwiped anyway!

CommaToes posted:You're siding with the guy trying to steal all of the treasure? The Phantom already stole all of it. And random bandit here wasn't even going for most of the important historical stuff! Edit: Also I'm bitter that the Phantom just told us a long story about how cool he is and is now going to erase everyone's memory so it doesn't matter anyway.

I really love how terse everyone is in these Mandrake stories. poo poo actually gets done when everyone speaks in two word sentences. Also, Oswald, called Clay Camel - called Police Commissioner!

Is Nancy supposed to be an orphan? I thought she was just like every other cartoon character with no on-screen parents. You may as well have Donald Duck's nephews being sad about not having parents.

Endless Mike posted:Have you ever spoken to someone with an English degree? They don't speak in 100% perfect grammar and word usage 100% of the time because that would be silly. Yes, but presumably he does know what proper grammar is. Basically I'm just mad at a bad comic.

I'd be a lot more okay with Pearls Before Swine if the punchline to so many strips wasn't "Rat insulting and/or threatening Pastis for making bad jokes."

GorfZaplen posted:Mandrake the Magician I know people are down on Mandrake in this thread sometimes. And I understand why - it's slow paced, plots aren't really resolved so much as they are bypassed, the art is inconsistent - but look at that second panel. Just look at it. That's art. (Also I really like how everyone is ridiculously terse in Mandrake. Like the writer gets paid by the word, but in reverse. It's a nice contrast to Brooke and a lot of the word-heavy comics in this thread.)

I don't know why you guys hate on Mandrake so much. It's been a hell of a lot more interesting than The Mary Sue Who Walks for at least a couple years now.

It's the wrestler, because he's kind of holding the axe like an idiot. It's the weatherman, because he only has to work in the morning and he can gently caress off to a golf course in the middle of the day. It's the stylist, who holds a grudge due to the victim's baldness. It's the jazz player, who is clearly not a jazz player because he's playing a banjo. It was Inspector Danger, because he's drunk with power, as well as alcohol.

Does anyone know of any source of older Wee Pals stuff? I'd like to see some of Morrie's older work, and I'd probably post it here.

Picasso started painting over a hundred years ago, Inspector! Weird faces are old news. (I don't actually know anything about art, I just like it when the writers in this thread are so old that they yearn for times before they were born. I'm attributing Inspector Danger's opinions to the writer.)

I have no idea what is supposed to be happening in Mary Worth but I can't stop reading this storyline. Also, I see Foob appears to be transitioning into sitcom-style "married people are not allowed to have friends of the opposite sex."

Gorilla Salad posted:So if tumour girl can't swim, why do her parents have a pool with no fencing? Pretty sure there're laws about that sort of thing. I think the parents are supposed to be lovely and neglectful, based on the way that they don't take their daughter seriously about the doctor and how they just kind of let her hang out with Mary, who is some random old lady. But then I don't think a sane person would think "ignoring your kid when they don't like a doctor they've never met before" and "trying to give your kid swimming lessons" and "promptly taking your daughter to the doctor when she has a weird cyst" are things bad parents would do, so who knows.

Green Intern posted:The last I looked at the fraudvote, it was 220ish to 190ish in favor of no consequences. I'm okay with this because it means we can move on. I'm not sure why I want us to move on, but man that just sounds even more insufferable than Luann normally is.

Thumper posted:The Phantom is basically torturing a prisoner just for the fun of it, with a supposedly democratically elected president cheering him on. I really hope this storyline will turn out to be some kind of political critique, because it's really making me sick so far. I'm pretty sure The Phantom is just not actually a superhero, considering some of his other recent exploits include messing around with Mandrake on a boat and bragging about all of his stolen treasure to some journalist before drugging her.
