Completely legit, I think he just exploded out of something or got tossed or whatever? He's "grievously wounded" by photoshop's masking tool, not getting shot in the head.

Mister Beeg posted:Autobio comics are a hit-or-miss to me, although I like some (I'm a fan of Keith Knight, for example). I know I make fun of Paley's opinions, but at the same time I do find it refreshing because she's just so blunt about what she thinks. Also, very little comics posted here are drawn from a woman's POV, so there's that, too. In short, I agree with your post. This is why I love Zippy. It's basically an autobio in the form of the rambling musings of a mad old comics dork.

Aardmania posted:9 Chickweed Lane I can't not just see this as a severe case of wartime V.D. I wanted to avoid the joke at first, but no. He got some strange disease from boning cheap hookers behind front lines, like a jackass. There's no other explanation for the pristine uniform, and the fact that blood is getting on nothing else whatsoever. Edit: it's not even on his drat hand! ...yet.

RandomFerret posted:The joke is that sometimes record labels will flood file-sharing sites with corrupt copies of albums and singles that are anticipated to be high download risks, since turning to piracy is often more about convenience than price. Make it hard enough to get a working copy of a song and people will just spend the 99 cents on itunes instead. No, the joke is "pop musician's greatest hits collection is zero kb because pop music sucks". You're giving this one too much credit.

What's missing is the reason a detective was genuinely needed for a dispute over a dollar's worth of light bulb.

Probably Magic posted:Oh Baby is the goatse of comics, you see it, you're horrified, and then you're inured to future showings. I think knowing the history behind Oh, Baby, basically the fact that the creator creeped his way right out of "mom"s life because of making it, makes it a bit more tolerable. Just a tiny, tiny bit.

LvK posted:I try not to lame out too much about guns because it's really offputting, but jeezum, dude, at least use a straight-edge. They look like a cross between a novelty lighter, a dull knife, and a stamped rubber gun that may or may not be a sex toy. It's OK! Lame out about the impossibility of his shoulders, or that camera angle, or where the poo poo is headwound there even aiming that thing!? It's maddening throughout, not just the gun.

Ensign_Ricky posted:We all knew this was going to be resolved this way, but I am still filled with rage and loathing at this loving comic. This particular point of the arc is making me SO MAD at Batiuk. He has such a hard on for emotional pain, but completely missed an opportunity to make a murderer break down with regret after decades in prison. Nope, can't have an actual moment of dramatic tension, sadness, and character growth when someone has a moment to realize he took a daddy away from his little girl. Offscreen that poo poo, because this guy's gotta stay a Snidely Whiplash, woman on train tracks cartoon villain forever! Crippling depression is the one loving thing you do, Batiuk, and you're not even good at it.

Zero_Tactility posted:I can't quite find the words to express why, but this crap is even worse than Brooke's masturbatory nonsense. Maybe I'm just numb to one and not the other (there's only so much 9CWL and Pibgorn one can experience before acquiring mental calluses), but Nancy is just so bad. It's awful at a level that makes me think "I shouldn't be getting this mad at newspaper comics; that's really dumb." It's retconning sappy dramatics into a comic strip where retconning sappy dramatics into it makes absolutely zero loving sense. I'm trying to think of something involving Snuffy Smith that would be as ridiculous as a metaphor but apparently I'm no Guy Gilchrist because none of them are terrible enough. Give it to some political cartoonist and have Barney Google come back, be stunningly handsome, and also a successful self-insert libertarian I guess?

I'm sorry but I think I identify with the joke in the last Zippy panel here more than anything in the newspaper comics ever. Not recognizing that your TV's bad aspect ratio makes people not look human anymore is the most American thing in the world. "I'm gonna spend $8k on a TV and I'm basically loving blind!"
