Can someone explain to me what the gently caress 9 Chickweed Lane is about?

Wallace the Brave is to me a more-than-suitable successor to the spot in comic strips that Calvin and Hobbes filled.

Zanzibar Ham posted:So... I just found a (supposedly) genuine 9CL fan. I saw their avatar (it's a board games website's forum) being the cat from the comic, and checking their profile they call it an amazing comic strip. So now I know that such people do exist. Gotta be the author's sockpuppet. It just *has* to be. e: Is that Thimble Theatre in the Hall of Fame post near the top of the thread an original or an edit? If it's an edit then it's incredibly tonally fitting, and funny as all hell. Kazinsal fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Feb 10, 2017 |

Johnny Walker posted:Yeah not a big fan of Toby's character design either. It's not so much the wild eyes for me. It's more that she's a bit too "generic," but I guess she kind of always has been, if you think about it. I don't think we've seen Ian yet? I kind of look forward to that. I'm new to the comics thread relatively speaking, and new to Mary Worth, so for the entire arc up until now I thought Toby was Iris. Great character design indeed.

I don't think I really... "get" Piranha Club. Is it old people doing young people things? Or is it just old people being weird? Or is it some kind of weird alternation between the two?

Bud Grace is being an insufferable insensitive idiot with this latest "arc" and I wish he would quit cartooning entirely but god drat if it isn't hammering the point in that tourism to North Korea is about a bright an idea as having a loaded, cocked, safety-off handgun in the front of your pants wasteband pointed at your genitals, Pulp Fiction style.

Reddick just needs to quit. I'm seriously hoping this is one of those cases where poo poo's getting overly spread out because he's trying to fill a contractual obligation before putting down the pen forever.

Is Edge of Adventure actually published in any newspapers or is it one of those cases of "webcomic that is so mind-numbingly bad it goes in this thread"? I'm not complaining, just wondering.

I don't know what's a worse strip at this point. Intelligent Life or On The Fastrack. Holbrook's worst offences are a result of him being straight up stuck in 1995, technologically, socially, and politically. Intelligent Life is terrible in premise, horribly written, abhorrently drawn, the execution makes it the Big Bang Theory of comic strips. Let's just stop posting both.

I want to believe that the author isn't going to push some incel-grade "stalk your true love and outwit Chad to gain her eternal affection" poo poo because holy gently caress, but at the same time this is a newspaper comic so there's a one in fifty chance of the people involved in creating it not being poo poo.

The full collection of Bloom County that's being posted is great because some of the original individual books had a lot of editing hackjobs done to them (including the 1985 collection excising most of the Banana Junior strips, which are a wonderful look back into 1980s computing).
