Just so you know, I really love Outbursts of Everett True, And He Did., Guess If They Are Married!, Whoops Sisters, Mopsy, Mr. Tweedy (I have good memories of this one from when I was a kid), and Andy Capp. Thanks for posting them.

Moments like these are why I stick with Judge Parker, and also, Mike Manley is great and I'm glad to get to see his work on a regular basis. And thanks for resuming Heathcliff, BRO.

When your entire gimmick is referencing nerd poo poo, you should get "Spider-Man" right.

To say nothing of putting an 80s-era Olympic Sales Club ad on the back of a comic from 1962.

I know that's goonsay as gently caress, but as heavily as this comic leans on slapping in/tracing over Google Image Searches of nerd poo poo...

Oh, and by the way: the first result for a Google search for "amazing fantasy 15" "back cover".

I hate Working Daze.

It's All Right, Chief Dharma





...Yes, it was a dream. One that lasted over two years for all of us but less than two months for those Koreans who paid more attention to comic hub sites than I did. In that time, two hundred ninety three new comics were posted on a new website with the newest one having been published in late April. The Daily Focus archives are no longer publicly available. Finding older Dharma comics would necessitate trawling random Korean blogs. Or the Something Awful Archives for the ones I already translated.

As for me, well, the reasons I left the Something Awful forums are largely unchanged, but right to the end I did enjoy translating these. For real life reasons it just stopped being practical. Now it is again- for the moment anyway.

It's a weird thing to catch myself saying, but Heathcliff is so consistently good these days. Peter Gallagher just has so much fun with it; it's so straight-facedly surreal.

Judge Parker


I feel like Ces read the David Foster Wallace essay about David Lynch and is, consciously or not, hitting all the notes that Wallace pointed out as "Lynchian", like this, and the other day when there was that morbid aside about paninis. I'm not complaining; I like this strip and I like Mike Manley a lot, and Ces is giving him cool stuff to do.

'Stealing'? No, Guy Gilchrist is just producing loving tributes to America's favorite comic and cartoon characters! Which is why Casper the Friendly Ghost is snide and depressed!

What I like is when he draws Nancy reading the comics page and just sticks in characters that are not comic-strip characters in a continued bid for those sweet Reminisce Magazine syndication bucks, and they're just big giant heads for ease of recognition
