 Pooch Café is a comic strip by Paul Gilligan about an allen key-shaped dog who is just a real rear end in a top hat. What a super dick this dog is, you don't even know. If you're new to the strip, he might not seem so bad. Just wait.    Ballard Street is a daily one-panel by Jerry Van Amerongen that offers glimpses into the lives of the people that live in a particular suburban neighbourhood. In practice, it reads like a man having a new yorker caption contest with himself and losing.    Lost Side of Suburbia is by Kory Merritt and it's online-only, but he's worked with Paul Gilligan before and it's hosted on GoComics and I like it, so I post it. This one is not very easy to explain in two sentences, and the current storyline brings back a ton of characters and settings from previous stories, so if it looks interesting you should just go catch up on it from the beginning. There's a bit in there that starts off as a tribute to Calvin and Hobbes and then gets kind of uncomfortable and weird, so you have that to look forward to!   I post edits sometimes too. I have two regular series going on that I haven't added to in like a year: Hägar the Historically-Accurate Viking  Full gallery: http://imgur.com/a/goA13 Everybody is an rear end in a top hat to Winnie the Pooh  Full gallery: http://imgur.com/a/oH6NE (I only edited like half of those. The Pooh newspaper strip has a much different tone than the disney movies.) flavor.flv fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Jan 2, 2016 |

Here comes a big wall of late comics! Or should I say... Late Dog Comics??? Pooch Café    Poncho's been walking around on his own for a while now. Ballard Street    I think I should go join Gary's club for a bit. Lost Side of Suburbia    Cindy Fogle was the first child we ever saw get taken.

All comics are bad, and this thread is nothing more than a treatment plant for Raw Sewage Comix. Pooch Café  gently caress that literal poo poo. Ballard Street  Oh nice job, colourist. You made it look like a lovely cardboard box when it's actually lovingly handcrafted out of dowels and sound-dampening fabric. Lost Side of Suburbia   "Okay, show of hands, who thought she was dead already? Just me? Really, nobody else thought that the kid's sister was definitely dead this whole time? Well okay then, guess there's egg on my face. ...Really though, everybody thought she was alive? Everybody? Margo??"

You know what's bad? Bad Dog Comix. Pooch Café  Oldest trick in the book, but it still works. Just last week my aunt and uncle got robbed by two guys that pretended to be lamps for the better part of an evening. Ballard Street  I'd be a pretty big hypocrite if I said anything about this, considering I do that too. Lost Side of Suburbia   I know there's no dogs in this one. At this point, I'm calling Dog Comix if there's two out of three.

Sick, Sick, Sick is awesome because it was in the Village Voice. The average person back then would have looked at it like we look at MiniSec. Or rather, like we used to. RIP Stephanie McMillan. Looking in the Wrong Place Comix. Pooch Café  Hudson! This is a newspaper comic! Ballard Street  Carl's the one in the purple, and he's the only one still taking photos of the other members' butts as intended. Lost Side of Suburbia   God drat it, just let the kid be with his sister. He's right about everything he's said so far!

Maybe they don't know about his dark side. Maybe nobody does. We only see Everett when poo poo's about to go down, it could be he spends most of his life in relative mediocrity. People know there's something going on in this town, but nobody knows quite what. Mrs. Henderson down the road said that her husband was trampled by a large runaway bull while out enjoying a new brand of cigar with a particularly hearty aroma, and folk downtown say a wrecking ball came to life and battered a rude young man of the 'teen' ages just yesterday, but nobody can connect the two or any of the hundreds of similar incidents. All they know is that none of the victims have ever spoken of it, and they all seem terrified of striped circus tents.

Please enjoy Dog Comix. Pooch Café   We are learning a lot of background details in this arc. Good worldbuilding. Ballard Street   Later on the dog caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror and decided that it looked pretty cool. Lost Side of Suburbia   Kleguelo finally sees his chance and takes it.

I am FREAKING OUT COMIX. Pooch Café  I like the detail that the carpet isn't just free of hair, it's noticeably lighter where the vacuum track is. I don't know if that was baked into the black and white original or if a syndicate colourist finally deserves credit for something. Ballard Street  Black coffee and donuts will do that to you. Lost Side of Suburbia   This strip loves tonal shifts. In one page, it can go from a cute little Wizard of Oz homage to HOW THEY GONNA DO GOATSUCKER LIKE THAT

Be still, citizen. You are trapped in the safety of the Glowing Eye Comix. Pooch Café  Something's been off about this little storyline for a while, but I just realized what it is. It's a robot vacuum cleaner, but it still looks like a Sears model from the 60s or something. We have actual robot vacuum cleaners now, and they don't look like that. Ballard Street  I took a close look at this, and the mechanics of it check out. There's no gearing, but the size difference between the hamster wheel and the cart's wheels should provide enough of a torque transition to let the hamster power the contraption. Lost Side of Suburbia   Slynderfell's right, his rhymes are slipping.

What's your Damage Comix? Pooch Café  This is the second time the strip has referenced this exact scene, and the second time I have made this exact edit. Ballard Street  Huh. I've never seen a doggy screen door. I imagine they're not very common for this exact reason. Lost Side of Suburbia   I don't think these two strips were ever intended to be right next to each other on the same page like this.

I've said it before, but the Village Voice and Feiffer in particular was really socially conscious, enough to see all of this coming, and try to warn us. The fact that we can still relate to these strips means that they failed. We Failed Comix.  I think I fought those things in Earthbound.

Do you want to have a Bad Timing Comix? Pooch Café  I sometimes think about what the quickest, surest way to profit from time travel would be. Stock tips are an okay idea, but they still require some up-front capital and take time to pay off. Obviously if you've got a reusable time machine waiting's no problem, but what about a one-way trip like this one? You can't bring back any technology to reverse-engineer, either. Ballard Street  We set one of those up outside my work, and we had to take the door off because people kept smashing the glass to steal the books. It was never locked. Sometimes the communities that don't seem ready for these ideas are the ones that need them the most. Lost Side of Suburbia    Do you understand me? If you feel any fear at all, you will die a bloody, violent death, just like your friend that I'm only telling you about now. Don't think about her dying slowly and painfully because that might make you think about what will happen to you if you get scared and whatever you do you can't be scared OH GOD DON'T BE SCARED

Ah, now see, if we hadn't been reading Fritzi Ritz and early Nancy at the same time, we would have completely missed the fact that Sluggo was using his police connections to dig up dirt on that cop! Like I said, Bushmiller wasn't the best writer around, but he did stick to his Continuity Comix! Pooch Café  I was going to say something about Future Dog's facial expression, but then I started thinking about his scar and how we normally don't see scars on dogs like that. Then I realized why he's pink. His fur couldn't make the trip back! The real Kyle Reese showed up naked too, even though cotton jeans and leather boots are organic material, just dead. I guess fur counts as non-living too, although now it makes me wonder why in Terminator everybody shows up with a full head of hair. Good comics like this one really make you think. Ballard Street  Last time we saw Lyle, he was holding his dog above his head while stealing people's hats. I guess that holding things above his head addiction is finally coming home to roost. Lost Side of Suburbia   It was always going to be these two facing down Flymm. It ends the way it started.

How about some Noisy Dog Comix? Pooch Café  Man, that guy looks like he's got an interesting story to tell. Ballard Street  Bad dog! Flashy stick twirling and gimmicks does not make up for a lack of fundamentals! Bad! Lost Side of Suburbia    That ice cream pail way in the back strikes a chord with me. Rankin-Bass would produce a hell of a cartoon of this. I'm not thinking so much of the quality of the animation, but of their tendency to cast actors in their thirties using their undisguised voices for every character, including weird monsters and children.

Of course, they're the Phantom's kids and they wander around the Deep Woods for fun. I know we don't see them getting into much trouble, but the jungle is, unsurprisingly, More Dangerous than it Looks Comix. Pooch Café  Special thanks to guest writer, Rip Haywire's Dan Thompson! Ballard Street  Thankfully, not the same Everett we've already met. The staff at the Parks and Rec department get to live another day. Lost Side of Suburbia   This is the second time the strip's hinted that Flimm is just a little bug that talks big. So there's no way that's actually going to be the case.

You know what the real answer is. In honour of Jackelrod, here's the only edit of mine that I could find.  Maybe it's not the most honourable thing. Good Send-off Comix? Pooch Café  I don't think people appreciate escalators as much as they should. When you really think about it, they're amazing. And super complicated, too. You ever look inside one while they're doing maintenance work on it? Any one of those parts goes wrong and you're ground meat, kid. Ground meat. Ballard Street  That's called a cellar, Ted. You already have one under the main part of the house. Lost Side of Suburbia   Bottom right, in between Lars and Brandon Small. You didn't think we'd moved past that story arc, did you? Oh, and while I was looking for that Mark Trail edit, I also found this, which I don't think I ever posted here:
