The one thing that I actually like about Retail and find moderately insightful is that the main cast only sticks around because they're effectively trapped in the job. Especially in comparison to Dilbert, where the main cast doesn't change because they're trapped in an eternal business hell created by the mind of an abandoned and starving Garfield.

Kid Fenris posted:

I don't mind Retail because it usually has sense enough to punch upward. It's a nice counterweight to smug garbage like Dustin, Dilbert, and the duck comic we don't post here.

OK, the two thing I like about Retail is that Feuti doesn't make strawman characters based on his critics so he can depict them as shrill idiot neckbeards, because if he did I'd be so toast

Yeah that Dustin just refuses to grow up or strive to establish a life of his own, as evidenced by never going to work or out on dates.

It's a shame that time doesn't progress in this strip, and Dustin's sister will remain a golden child high schooler forever, sheltered from the vicissitudes of even this sanitized, fictional "real world."

So they've just given up on having an actual plot and just want an excuse to draw animals, right? How the hell is this going to connect to the hunters in Africa?

Join me in my ancient song, "James Allen Didn't Draw Any of Those Animals."

I'm pretty sure someone called this ages ago. Also, what the hell is with those expressions in the last panel? Are they realizing that their own relationships are just as shallow?

I called it, as a joke, to say his storytelling is lovely and repetitive. But here we all are anyway.

And I agree that the idea is probably "he likes fashion and hairdressing, so he's MEGA gay," but keep in mind that Brooke has (more than once, iirc) written an explicitly gay-not-bi male character in a sexual relationship with a woman, so nothing's off the table yet in the terrible world of 9CL.

That's a primo Feuti face.

I've come to the realization that Val (on the right in that comic) is his idea of an elaborate character design.

It had a three-season television spin-off, it can't be THAT bad. At least, not any worse than Chickweed Lane or Working Daze.

WuMo is contaminated waste, and its continuing publication is proof that humanity's self-inflicted end is both inevitable and deserved.

Has this been cross-posted to the politoons thread yet? I'd do it, but I'm a few thousand posts behind in that thread.

Don't you loving dare, it's bad enough in there lately.

I mean, Working Daze, 9 Chickweed Lane, though. Super Fun Pak's kind of poo poo too because it doesn't seem to have jokes beyond pissing on the concept of comic strips. "Just Post" is the rule for better or for worse.

WuMo is the nadir of lazy wackiness.

wikipedia posted:

For a period, humans portrayed in the comic wore no clothes. According to the comic's website, Morgenthaler "was fed up with the tiresome meticulousness of drawing clothes on people so he just stopped doing it." Sometimes, when the situation called for a specific outfit to denote a specific role, humans would appear clothed. Lately characters have all started to appear fully clothed, and older comics have been edited to add clothes.

Half the punchlines back then were "a weeeeird penis!!" fyi:



Just the dumbest, most basic "what if the Terminator . . . had gross balls??" poo poo. They're more PG-rated now that they're globally syndicated, but are still incapable of spending more than two seconds to come up with a joke. WuMo is the best argument for the reality of Hell, and Satan.

That's the point; you don't have to. You've already gotten more out of it than WuMo could give.

Why are you posting Wumo

I thought people were crystal clear that it is worthless garbage even worse than modern Nancy and that other comic strip with the horrible nerds.

Please stop at once.

I have the suspicion my sage warnings have been taken somewhat less than seriously.

I've come to adore Wumbo, like a misshapen special-needs child that Facebook can't enough of. I will continue to post it in hopes that one day it will be accepted, if not loved, by all.

Ok I'm out. Thanks for the years of comics everyone, we'll always have "BOXCAR!"
