Ham Shears gone, A3G gone, The Creeps gone, and yet 9 Chickweed Lane goes on and on forever and King Features continues to insist that Intelligent Life is funny. The future is bleak. Comic strips. Old ones, new ones, American ones, Finnish ones, good, bad, or incomprehensible, this is the thread for them. As long as it ran in a newspaper it goes here. Anything on Comics Kingdom or GoComics is fair game, but if you really want to drive the thread wild, scan some classics you've got lying around. Don't worry about who normally posts it or whether anyone wants to see it, if it's a newspaper comic you can post it. If you want to go the extra mile, you can tell us all about it as well. And if someone's posting a comic you don't like, that's what your scroll wheel is for.  Our Noble Lineage

FactsAreUseless posted:Holy poo poo, I forgot I ever did this. Where the gently caress did you find it? I have a bunch of my Spider-Man edits (sadly, the first half or so are permanently lost), thanks to GorfZaplen, but I don't remember this one at all. I just skimmed the post histories of a few regular posters in the last thread to see if I could find any good edits. So, sorry to anyone who feels left out, it wasn't intentional. I just couldn't go through the entire thread.

 A Tin Of Beans posted:I'm sure this is well-trod ground for the comics thread, but my god, the number of rerun strips in the newspaper is depressing. There's loads of cartoonists out there, so I'm assuming it's an audience issue, as only old people and children visiting their grandparents' house that doesn't have wi-fi read newspaper comics anymore.

Indolent Bastard posted:Scary Gary It may or may not help to know that that final panel is a reference to another comic, Overboard. It's about a bunch of people and animals who live on a ship. The ship is mostly irrelevant.      Oh, and that first strip I posted? It's not part of a storyline or anything, that's all the context you get.

SomeMathGuy posted:Mark Trail This has been bothering me since this storyline started. How is this article going to work? Mark's going to talk about these healthy bats and then awkwardly segue into "but if they happened to have white-nose syndrome, that would be bad." Don't you want to go visit a sick colony and observe the effects for your article? Why are you looking at healthy bats as research for your article about bat diseases?

catlord posted:Doesn't Crankshaft take place in the '70's? I was under the impression it didn't make as many timeskips as Funky Winkerbean and was still several decades behind, and on occasion would jump ahead to now where Crankshaft is a dying old man. The timeline is weird, because Funky Winkerbean's time-jumps don't actually change the year. The characters all age up and their lives have progressed, but the strip is still set in the present just like it always was. Crankshaft is also set in the present, but from the perspective of Funky Winkerbean it's the past. There are even crossovers where the characters in Funky remember the events currently happening in Crankshaft as being a long time past, even though they're happening now. So for example, in 2016 Les and Funky might reminisce about something that happened 20 years ago, in 2016. And even though the current Crankshaft story is set in 2016, if we see Crankshaft himself appear in Funky Winkerbean, he'll be 20 years older. It makes no sense.

Zanzibar Ham posted:Yeah, and that makes light of people who actually need therapists. In a world where there's too many just world believers and laymen who think psychology is a useless profession, I think it would be nice if more media gave a fairer view of these things. It's a fair point and a good criticism of entertainment media in general, but I don't think you can usefully apply it to this specific case.

Poil posted:Do you seriously not know the directions to the place where you work? Is that how you start the commute every day? Is something like take route # in <direction> too difficult? Maybe it's different in America but I have NEVER seen a mall that didn't have huge signs and billboards directing you when you get to the closest off ramp or intersections. Maybe he's just bad with directions. I can't give directions. I know how to get to places as I'm going there, but if I try to think through the route in advance I've got no idea. If it's somewhere close I might be able to give a general idea of direction and distance, but that's about it.
