Oh hey I haven't posted my comics yet this year! The Dinette Set is a comic by Julie Larson that actually ended in November, and now we're looping back around to the beginning. This is a strip about white trash. The whitest trash, really. The strip caused a lot of confusion back when it was first posted before we realized it was a "laugh at" comic, not a "laugh with". Julie has/had a deep loathing of the suburban lower middle class idiot.   Working Daze is written by John Zakour and drawn by Scott Roberts. It's supposed to be a sort of Dilbert-esque workplace comedy with nerds, but in reality it's the laziest Big Bang Theory jokes you could possibly imagine. As a result, it's one of the more hated comics in the thread. One of my favorite things about Working Daze is the Wikipedia page, which was written by Roberts and reads like the introduction to a 25th anniversary compilation of a beloved strip. Seriously, click that link, it's magical. Oh, and  fetish alert! Two of the characters have what appear to be utter cosmic power, but use said powers solely to turn people into animals or inanimate objects. There's been some mind control stuff too, there's a medusa who turns people to stone, and one recurring character is a belly dancer who's so hot   Super-Fun-Pak-Comix is by Ruben Bolling, a political cartoonist known for the very good Tom the Dancing Bug. SFPC was originally based on a recurring thing Tom would do; a parody of a newspaper comics page (and related ads) that made fun of the conventions of newspaper comics. SFPC got "spun off" into its own thing, although a lot of the strips are from the original pages. Recurring gags include The Ghost of James Caan (who's not dead), Dinkle the UN-lovable Loser, and Percival Dunwoody, Idiot Time Traveller from 1909.

The Classic Dinette Set struggles with new technologies. Working Daze starts the new year off with some fetish murder.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix has an existential paradox.

The Classic Dinette Set knows you can't put a price on butts. Working Daze likes foreign movies.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix becomes even more mild-mannered.

The Classic Dinette Set doesn't think of the children. Working Daze actually references something before it comes out, not months after.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix gets stuck in a loop.

Fair warning right how: it's just been announced that Alan Rickman has passed away (also at 69, also of cancer, which he kept secret). So the nerd comics are probably already firing up the Galaxy Quest/Harry Potter based tribute strips. Also first Lemmy, then Bowie, now Rickman, all this close together and almost the same way? What the poo poo is going on?!
