I haven't read the daily comic strip thread in years and years, but boy did this thread title bring back memories.

Also the central conflicts of the very second storyline are apparently "Peter debunks sexual harassment charges against his buddy while navigating his wife's inept attempts to help with his job/do anything besides lounge around the bedroom in a negligee all day" which is so sexist it somehow wraps back around to funny :shepface:

This is quickly followed by a discussion about "females" on the Internet.

"Billifold" is right up there with "monthly tarriff".

My dad says billfold. Though, he's almost seventy.

They'll use Elias's shrinking spray to hide the camera then engage in a week long gaslighting campaign against JJJ to convince him there was no camera in the first place.

won't a NY to LA roadtrip take the next decade or so due to the glacial pace of the strip?

I'll be shocked if they make it out of the state.

Be reasonable, guys. This is an emergency to save the universe. It's not like they had time to pack bags for a vacation.

It was after the Kraven thing with the diamond stealing monkeys

I'm pretty sure this is not what you meant, but I'm choosing to parse this as a diamond that was stealing monkeys.

So aside from making fun of the comic, I am actually really impressed by the lettering in each strip. Each letter varies, so I believe it's all hand drawn, but the consistency is impressive and they're really nice looking letters. Fonts that are supposed to look hand drawn really put me off, but actually hand drawn lettering is really cool to see.

assuming ronan isn't dead (which he totally is) couldn't they just tie down his comatose rear end to the outside? he apparently doesn't need to breathe

That would totally ruin the aerodynamics of the space ship.

Hey so this origin story from 2001 just got posted in the other thread.

I like how the guy says he can lift 400 lbs no problem and then proceeds to lift two 400 lb weights plus the bar.

I'm surprised they have a letterer more than anything.

If you look close, you can see each letter is unique, so it's hand-drawn instead of being a font. It always annoys me when I see "hand drawn" text where you can clearly tell it's a font. I think it's super neat to see the real thing, you don't see it often.

Remember this whole arc of Spidey in LA started with the road trip. That seems like years ago.

I mean if feels like a lot has happened, but really nothing has.

To be fair, Kala, unless you've got a measured vial of youth juice in your back pocket, you've effectively murdered him.

tbf the hulk can run faster than him and isn't exactly impeded by the terrain. mj's there too and they got here in a boat, so even if he could pick up the two of them and run... where would he go?

Which leaves me wondering why the Hulk is just hanging out twenty feet from this guy's secret lab which is accessible only by hovercraft.



Also I like the idea of making a new thread each year.
