Calaveron posted:Crosspostin' from the webcomics thread Hey, I remember when this was being posted in the thread. When did that stop? Less than a year ago, right? And when we left off I think these two moved out. Kevin and Kell actually moves at a decent clip, or am I just misremembering how long its been? I'd laugh if the K&K guy has a better grasp on storytelling than Brooke McEldowney. Slammy posted:What're the odds on legitimately nice guy that presents a hard choice for Iris after Wilbur returns vs. he's got an angle. I was pondering this earlier (one should never ponder Mary Worth, what has this thread done to me), have we ever seen Mary give out advice that actually hurt? Not like, intentionally, of course, but I can't think of a time where she wasn't right on the money. Evil Mastermind posted:Still not as bad as the two-and-a-half-year Nazi Grandma story. 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?

I didn't expect Lost Side of Suburbia to reference Crumb, but its also been a while and I can't remember if there was a previous reference that made me raise my eyebrow. Also interested in Dope Rider, and I love Hagar the Historically-Accurate Viking.

Evil Mastermind posted:Super-Fun-Pak-Comix is bullshit; everyone knows Guan Yu was cooler. Guan Yu was also like, 1000 years earlier so wouldn't be in a retrospective of the 1430's. As cool as he is, he doesn't transcend time to exist eternally (or at least I don't think, I haven't finished Romance of the Three Kingdoms yet).

I would read a Nazca-man comic. And that's a neat design, way better than, say, most of the New 52 costumes.

Tiggum posted:It didn't end with VHS either. To be fair, I assume that's a full storyline with four episodes. The complete Tales from the Darkside I'm watching right now has eight per disc, but the quality is also just a bit better than VHS (I'm finding it rather charming though). The 10 random episodes thing is annoying though.

Tiggum posted:It is, but that's out of a 26-episode season, and if you bought all of classic Doctor Who that way it's 155 DVDs (as opposed to 26 if it was one per season). It's fine, I suppose, if you're just buying a few of your favourite stories, but it's ridiculous if you want a complete collection. True, but unless something radically changes you're never going to get a complete collection, so I guess that colours my perception of trying to get all of Doctor Who.

Also, I was amused by today's Dustin, and happy 10th to Fingerpori. Viperless milk is still a great introduction to it.

Vargo posted:I'm beginning to see Baldo as kind of a "Horseshoe Theory" version of Dustin. I started reading it because it was nice to see a strip whose main focus was "look at this loving family" as opposed to the absolutely wretched and toxic abuse cycle that is Dustin. But Baldo goes way too far in the opposite direction. Literally 90% of the strips are "look how perfect these kids are! Look what a loving dad I am!" Both of them are middle-aged man fanwank, but one of them is "Man, my son, and all millennials, are lazy and useless. This is completely their fault and has nothing to do with me or my generation. I'm prefect and above everyone" and the other is "My children are so great, this is amazing, I am such a great dad, this has everything to do with me, me me me me me me me." It's a nice counterpart to Dustin, but its problem that it's just not funny. I appreciate seeing a nice, even if not funny, strip about a Hispanic family though. Because the only other one I can think of was La Cucaracha and that was awful.

And I'm also shocked to see uniforms from the first Star Trek movie in, well, anything other than the first Star Trek movie. I think a while ago somebody did. If I remember right, it was a UK strip, and for the first several weeks they kept on calling Kirk 'Kirt.'

Julet Esqu posted:I like the included tidbit that the Enterprise is not built to land. It just has to stay up in space forever. All the Trek I've watched all my life and I never really thought about that. Even though it seems like they crash it in every other movie, so clearly safe landings aren't its strong suit. I believe Voyager is the only one we've seen with landing capabilities (or at least I remember at least one episode where it landed? It's been a long time).

Johnny Walker posted:Noodle Incident! You know, I always assumed that the Noodle Incident was that report on the brain that he did. Also, the newspaper I had growing up didn't have Prince Valiant or Flash Gordon, they're pretty good and it's much easier to get into them than I was worried about, considering how long they've run.

Aardmania posted:9 Chickweed Lane Who the gently caress asks about a toe with "how's it going?" I could see "how are you" or something like that, but "how's it going" is such a loving vague and general question that I can't possibly think of anybody immediately assuming that they're being asked about a minor injury. For the record I read the first word balloon and the last couple panels because holy gently caress look at the ink spent on everything in between.
