drat, I love extra fab but that's a really good case for only the first two panels being necessary.

As recompense, here's one where I love every panel.

Can we not just have 50 posts going back and forth about these comics? Everyone knows they're good.

Oh, it was just a joke on inverting Garfield Minus Garfield for a strip without Garfield, which amounts to the same thing in the end.

I read through Kill Six Billion Demons last time someone brought it up here. It's mostly really good (especially the world design, which is some amazing art and ideas)



But it also runs into the same problem pretty much any longrunning webcomic has, every page is so quick that I just feel like dropping it for a couple years after catching up, just so there's a reasonable amount of plot to digest.

When the artist isn't busy with life stuff, they update twice a week which is a pretty reasonable pace given the quality of the updates.

Oh yeah, it's not on them, it's me. I just can't stay invested enough to keep up long term for one page updates a few times a week, I have to just forget it for a while and catch up in a big chunk.

I appreciate the huge amount of skill and work that goes into drawn stuff like that, I just feel bad because even when I completely love it each page is only like 30 seconds or a minute of my time.

Honestly, I'm finding the Hitmen art painful to look at, but in its case the story is interesting enough that I'm getting pulled along in spite of it. I really wish it was something more than bleh MSPaint though, some of the non-human stuff is OK but most of it (so far) is really bad.

Well that comic is a straight up suicide note.



As always, Garfield Minus Garfield straight up does a better job at distilling the weirdness/existential angst in the originals to present it in a better, more condensed form.

How even can you have a word that means "become like unto a daddy long legs?" That is next level.

I love Finnish, the great thing about it is that it's so different from any language I'm familiar with that I haven't the slightest idea whether facts like that are 100% true or made up on the spot.

My personal favorite, being native to the language, is that mutsiis, can be both "anyhow" and "into your mother". It takes some grammatical liberties but what in Finnish doesn't. :D

Mutsiis, aloitetaan. == "Anyhow, lets start."
Työnnä se vaikka takaisin mutsiis. == "Why don't you push it back into your mother."

I was fortunate enough to stay in Helsinki for a while as a student, I loved it but never had time to learn more than some words for basic greetings/shopping/etc, but I figured there'd be a lot of traps like that if I were to learn it conversationally.

That's true, the acts of terrorism against Mrs. Feeney were a tragedy that also brought our nation to its knees that week, but they started before 9/11 itself.

That's actually great, it's pretty cute in the first sense but I didn't notice how the dad looked in the last panel until I reread it.

Also almost certainly bullshit.

Wasn't it sorta just handwaved in with "well, frogs are like that, and we plopped in some frog dna, so...." in the book? I think it somehow just made it into the movie from there as a random Dino FactTM everyone remembers but without the pseudoscientific reasoning behind it.

The frog DNA accounted for the dinos switching sexes to breed in the wild, had nothing to do with the sight of the T Rex.
