There's two comics that I post on a daily basis.

Calvin and Hobbes is about a troubled young boy, his tiger, and his long-suffering parents. It was created by Bill Watterson.

Ripley's Believe It Or Not has a long and eventful history, which you can read about in detail right here. In short, it chronicles some of the oddities and ephemera filling our world.

Calvin and Hobbes

Outland is a Sunday-only strip, done by Berkeley Breathed as a follow-up to Bloom County, which was a follow-up to his collegiate strip The Academia Waltz. Outland ran from 1989 through 1995. Principal characters include Opus, a neurotic penguin; Milquetoast, a neurotic cock-roach; Ronald-Ann, a precocious young girl named for Pres. Reagan; and Bill The Cat, a brain-damaged feline with a history of drugs, rock'n'roll, presidential campaigning, and romantic involvement with a score of unlikely women.

I usually don't share the artist's fears, but then I get to thinking about them and suddenly I do share them. This one, for example, seemed stupid at first but now I think it's terrifying.

^^ ^^

Going back a couple pages for this (because I forgot to do so in my last post), but the fears aren't those of the artist, at least not initially. They're user-submitted at his Tumblr page.

Excellent.

Overboard

Just to be sure, this strip's never really good, right? Or did it just lose the funniness over time?

Pre-emptive subtitle suggestion for whenever the thread title gets changed to fix the numbering: In days of A3-G

Why would someone personally familiar with E. True try something like this?

I'd prefer to be on Imgur, since xomf doesn't load the preview thumb-nails, but every time I try uploading something on Imgur it just sits at the 'Pending' status. Anyone else have this happen?

And so, Calvin ended up only listening to self-released Norwegian black metal.

Aardmania, Darthemend. I don't know why but for some reason your images keep coming up as broken image file icons.

Which day of my posts is the last one with functioning images?

Test upload with TinyPic, though I probably won't continue using it, since the upload required temporarily opening up firewall ports, allowing an ad server, and then, after the upload was finished, enabling Flash just to get the image link code. Anyone have a recommended alternate image host site? I've tried the four in Tiggum's OP, along with Photobucket, and of those, xomf is the only one that simply works for me (aside from it apparently having display issues for other users).

What issues are you having with imgur?

Every time I try uploading something on Imgur it just sits at the 'Pending' status, at least in Firefox. In IE, clicking on the Upload button does absolutely nothing; no upload box, no prompt, no error message.
