What? New thread? Jumping the gun!!

Anyway, I post both Cul-de-sac and The Creeps
Both are fine exemplars of the craft of cartooning.

Cul de sac by Richard Thompson is the story of the Otterloop family, and generally focuses on Alice and her friends. It is funny, and weird and consistently good. It is no longer being produced and is in re-runs due to the author's battle with Parkinsons. The true tragedy is it was replaced by Mike Du Jour, which is execrable beyond excretion.

Some of the best:





The Creeps is a story of horrible people doing horrible things to each other. They are nameless, generally referred to as Fat Creep and Skinny Creep. They appear to be siblings, and the Fat Creep wears a sweater with gloves attached.

That isn't a pompadour, that's a tumor.





And, here's some edits that I've saved from last year:
(dude with the smitty avatar.)


Both by JackMcAskill, who is greatly missed.




All by Borden

Terrible comics
MM forgot to mention: All of these comic strips are terrible, completely and utterly terrible.

Edit: Darthemed I posted Alley Oop for about two weeks, it got mired down in poor story telling and a Sunday recap. Unlike the award winning Dick Tracy, it didn't make the jump to modern times as good.

I like "Retail".

I'm being sincere. Not sarcastic in any way.

There was also a short-lived Saturday Morning cartoon written by Mark Evanier that had a pretty awesome theme song.

Not to be combattive, but what do you like about Retail? The characters are all hateful, the art is pretty bland and always ALWAYS includes an eyeroll.

I will say in its favor that the linework is always clean and neat and sharp.

Nemi



Moomin and the Martians
I reposted the one from yesterday, in better quality.




Now, thread, I'm wondering a bit about how to post these.
or more accurately, how many to post, up until now, I've been posting 1 page per day. Moomin stories are pretty long though, and at that speed, it'll take 18 days to complete the current story.

I'm wondering if I should start posting them 1/2 page at a time, so that the stories'll last a bit longer, or if people prefer getting a page a day, as you have earlier?

You're my new favorite poster, Moomin AND Nemi?

One page a day, please.

I think that's as good as I can make these, I really wish I could get rid of the noise/speckles, though.

No no, these are wonderful. It looks like the noise is from the paper it's printed on.

An angle of 147 would also be 43. He can't just say 45 degrees, or 43 degrees, he has to measure the angle by eye accurately.

It's a shame we can't have a cross-over with Spider-man, then he could get needled by a radioactive prick!
