Hobbes' constant attacks mean that he's either a bullying rear end in a top hat or a manifestation of Calvin's self-harming impulses.

Overly negative way of looking at it. I always saw Hobbes' pouncing as like when a big, friendly dog jumps on you. It's rough, but there's no malice in it; he's just happy to see you!

People keep saying this, but was it ever confirmed that the title was changed for censorship reasons, and not just because "Heavenly Nostrils" is kind of a lovely title?

Yeah I can't really fault them for changing that title. "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" is bland, but it gets the point across. "Heavenly Nostrils" just sounds like some kind of Zippy-esqe non sequitur.

The sub artists for Dilbert seem to be making little effort to add any new dynamic to Adams' art style. The first one had a strip with some interesting new perspective angles, but the rest are just straight-up aping the strip's usual aesthetic. Is Adams keeping an iron grip over how the comic is drawn, or are they just unimaginative?

I'd kinda like to see a strip done by the "DEHUMANIZE YOURSELF AND FACE TO VIOLENCE" guy!

What exactly was the connection between Working Daze and Zachary whatever the gently caress that led to it being posted here? Same author? I'm no longer surprised that I disliked the latter so much, regardless.

Yeah, same author; John Zachour.

Does Working Daze actually run in any papers, or is it just a webcomic?

(I don't care one way or the other. It's incompetence amuses me)

The whole "Leonardo stayed dedicated to his projects until completion" thing isn't true, either. He often got easily distracted, and left behind many unfinished drawings and concepts. There's a reason the Mona Lisa took 10 years to finish.

A dumb snarky quip stretched out into a multi-panel "joke" or a horrifying glimpse at how an old man's mind is slowly deteriorating but he is nevertheless still forced to confront philosophically and theologically troubling issues presented to him by the ugly realities of our own existence?

It's probably both.

Celebrity Ghost posted:

I hate Rose is Rose with the fury of a thousand suns, but strips like this one keep it just barely above being my most hated comic. It leads me to believe underneath the shine of rainbows and rictus smiles, Rose secretly hates her life. It was probably an accidental pregnancy, caused by an intended one-night fling with an easy lay before taking off to the open road. She hates every day spent with that bulbous-nosed weirdo, the biker chick persona being a reminder of dreams ended before they could begin.

Maybe that's reading waaaay too much into it, but I like the thought that each strip is watching Rose's slow boil of pent up negativity until she finally burns her house down, with everyone in it.

Nah, that's my reading too.

And all the rainbows and candy-canes that manifest around people's heads are just hallucinations brought on by prescription drug abuse.

I can't really summon too much hate for Tinkersons. It's just one of dozens of the same bland, zero-effort, family slice-of-life strips that infest comics sections today, like Stone Soup or Grand Avenue.

Not to say that it's good, it's just not outwardly cancerous like Intelligent Life or Piranah Club. It's like the comics equivalent of a skin tag. It's the concept of "apathy" manifested into comic form.

What's this five letter word he keeps using: "drama"? Apparently it can be applied to plotting in Judge Parker? And this other six letter one: "trials"?

My one worry is that we'll see a Sally Forth crossover at some point, and Mike Manley will use the opportunity to depict both Sally and Hillary as gorgeous twenty-somethings will lovingly-rendered breasts.
