Midnight Moth posted:Don't know why that's such a shock. Safe Havens is only a few years younger and Kevin and Kell has been going on since 1995. Holbrook has been doing 3 strips a day for close to twenty years now. I have to wonder if Holbrook qualifies as the most prolific comic strip creator; three daily strips for 20-30 years apiece has got to put him up there. As far as I know, he (unlike the Walker-Browne Comic Strip Factory) doesn't have a platoon of assistants doing the work for him.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:Yep, that K&K character. I don't think we've seen that one before. *sigh* Decisions, decisions. Is the pleasure of providing information greater than the shame of admitting I actually know poo poo about Kevin & Kell? oh what the heck. That's Francis, the only human in the K&K-verse. His mother was actually a human from our world who got transported to FurryWorld or whatever they call it, where she was transformed into a rabbit, married a fox, and they had a human baby. And yes, none of this makes a lick of sense, please stop thinking about it. To be fair to Holbrook, having a human stand in for a chimpanzee is kind of clever.

Didn't we JUST have every character in the comics (well, every character created before 1990) showing up for Nancy's "birthday" last year? Are we going to go through all that again? Someone hold me, I'm scared.

Roland Jones posted:I rag on Holbrook a lot, but honestly, given that he's been writing three strips a day for over a decade and two of them for over two (I think, can't be bothered to check for specifics), it honestly isn't too surprising that they frequently dip into incoherence. On the Fastrack has been around for, gulp, 30 years, Safe Havens for 25, and Kevin and Kell is the baby of the Holbrook family at 19.

I think the suggestion is that the liver disease gave the murderer an excuse to avoid drinking with the victim ... but there's no evidence the other two had a drink with the victim either, is there? Gah. Encyclopedia Brown was never this stupid.

The schoolmarm/cowboy thing I get because she probably moved out west, but the children series all seem to have everyone from the same city.
