Yay new thread! I get to explain my comics! The Dinette Set is a damning look at the trashiest of white trash. Julie Larson has a deep hatred for dully ignorant suburbanites, and she's not afraid to let it show. The strip ended a while ago, and is currently in reruns.  Working Daze is (in theory) a workplace comedy strip. What it actually is is a terrible strip about a bunch of lazy one-note characters, insufferable nerds, and lazy sub-Big-Bang-Theory references. It also sometimes veers into fetish territory due to two character having ultimate cosmic powers for some reason, and turning their friends into food, plants, or various inanimate objects. Also has a hilariously overdone Wikipedia page maintained by the strip's artist.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix started life as an irregular parody of newspaper comics pages, written and drawn by noted political cartoonist Reuben Bolling. It's now maintained as a daily comic by persons unknown.

The Classic Dinette Set sees the opening, takes it. Working Daze gets back to its roots (lazy nerd references).  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix gets into merchandising.

Kazinsal posted:Can someone explain to me what the gently caress 9 Chickweed Lane is about? bean_shadow posted:Shouldn't he have known this before marrying her? Even if they were still dating, I think the fact that she has a company would come up. So here's the thing about the current 9CWL storyline: These two characters were introduced a few months back, which has been like two weeks in comic time. They're both musicians, and when they heard each other play they immediately At this point, they have known each other like two days, and only met because they performed music together on stage as some last-minute thing or something. HOWEVER, before the sex-enabling marriage can happen, the guy wants to get the woman's father's permission to marry his daughter. Turns out (ha ha!) the woman's family is ridiculously wealthy, and the father does not approve of this man marrying his daughter, and the couple end up playing music with the woman's family's grand piano. (c.f. "music==sex") Anyway they're doing another music recital after having a spat, and have run offstage in the middle of it to have a totally fake self-administered marriage ceremony with just the two of them so they can finally have carnal relations in some prop room while their friends (who are supposed to be the main characters of the strip) fill in on-stage with presumably non-sexual music. These two people, ones whose feet we've been seeing for a goddamn week and change, have known each other for about three weeks. No, I do not know why I remember all that.

catlord posted:So, I do have a question about this storyline. Wasn't the "what was grandpa doing while gramma hosed a Nazi," wasn't that the third time he's gone to that story line? Didn't he do the original story, and then do it again with some more bits added? The Classic Dinette Set makes America great again.  Working Daze has its priorities out of order.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix is sponsored by Dateline NBC.

Kennel posted:I just remembered this classic Tiggum posted:For those who haven't been keeping up with Dick Tracy, the current team loves one thing above all else: Referencing old Dick Tracy characters. But second to that is crossovers. When Little Orphan Annie was cancelled mid-story the characters appeared in Dick Tracy to resolve it, and ever since then Annie, Warbucks, etc. have been recurring Dick Tracy characters.

Angry Salami posted:It was better than that - she wasn't just lost, she was presumed dead by Daddy Warbucks, but she'd actually been kidnapped by a character referred to as 'The Butcher of the Balkans'. Funky Winkerbean wishes it could be that grim! Although...we might be on to something here... Hey, Batuik! You want to make your strip really bleak? Have Les get kidnapped by an international terrorist with no apparent hope of rescue, make everyone else believe he's dead, then cancel Funky Winkerbean! Man, that'd really amazingly dark! You think he bought it?

The Classic Dinette Set doesn't care about your 15 minutes. Working Daze is pretty much the same "joke" as yesterday.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix feels as good as it looks.

The Classic Dinette Set doesn't manage time well.  Working Daze is on Day 3 of this stupid gag.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix is edited for content.

Cosima posted:This comic sickens me. And no one who learned English 3 years ago would say "honeyed words", but Brooke is utterly incapable of hiding the fact he owns a thesaurus and a big book of old timey sayings, even when the context requires it. Actually, what's sickening me about 9CL is that we've been looking at the bottoms of these people's feet for the past week and a half.

Vargo posted:So, Wallace and Gil are both in RI, as is Intelligent Life and The Tinkersons, according to that one IL strip. (And because Intelligent Life loves being a Family Guy ripoff at every turn). The Classic Dinette Set smells classy.  Working Daze hits a new low in lovely "nerd" "humor".  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix could have timed that better.

Pastry of the Year posted:Has anyone that uses GoComics as their source (as I do) tried out "the new GoComics"? (example) They're certainly trying to make image saving and sharing outside the usual banal social networks more difficult.  If you are on Chrome, use this extension It lets you drag-and-select a part of the screen, and auto-uploads to a full imgur page where you can get the share links.

WickedHate posted:There was a big storyline by the previous writer where Sarah was a child prodigy being tutored by a great artist and selling art books by the truck load, but when the new writer came in he had the tutor be chased off by debt collectors and it turned out the person distributing her books was inflating sales because she felt bad about her own estranged daughter. Honestly, this extra bit of reversing course on Wunderkind Sarah is kind of redundant. The Classic Dinette Set is unsanitary.  Working Daze takes credit for other people's work.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix didn't see that coming.
