I don't know if anyone posts Big Nate in this thread anymore, but I like Big Nate, so here's this week's:

Big Nate is okay but the art kind of drives me nuts--Nate's "smugly satisfied" face is the worst.

It's always hard to tell when he's doing one of these flashback things (or when it's just a rerun) because "seventh-grade" Edda looks exactly the same as adult Edda.

Also his name is Jack now? No it's not, it's Jock. gently caress you, Evanses.

I can't possibly be bothered to look this up, but I'm pretty sure before the main characters had actually bothered learning their names they just called him "Jock", and then it turned out his name was "Jack".

Much of the art in this strip is good, but almost all of the characters are just hideous.

Also, this week of outright "[species] has [characteristic]" K&K strips is about the purest Holbrook possible.

Team Evans still thinks colleges ring bells to dismiss classes. I wonder if this place has tardy bells as well.

ETA: We're supposed to see her leaving at the bell as a sign of Irreparable Evil, but seriously. They finished their lab. Who on Earth would stick around (other than Luann) and why?

That, or it's just yet more of Luann being baffled when people are friendly and outgoing instead of cliqueish and spiteful.

Honestly, that just makes Schultz sound like an arsehole. Foob characters aged in real time. The dog was going to die. That's built into the premise from the beginning.

The dog died heroically saving April from a flood, not as a natural consequence of aging. It was high melodrama and Schultz was right to troll her.

One of the things that surprised me about early Charlie Brown is that he's kind of a dick.

That's one of the best parts about early Peanuts: all the kids are fairly equally dicks to each other, and it's genuinely funny! It's really a shame how it gradually morphs into either Snoopy Stands Around Describing Adventures or Everyone, Including the Universe, Openly Hates (Or Is At Least Cruelly Apathetic to) Charlie Brown.

A Tinkersons with a parent-child interaction that's not centered on the theme of punishment?

I'd say "who is this cartoonist and what has he done to Bettwy" but based on the art it's still him alright.

Hey, it's not always punishment! Sometimes it's just unbridled hatred.

I believe it means he was briefly recruited by the Arizona Cardinals (as a player? a coach?)

But it doesn't really make sense. I call the St Louis Cardinals the cards, not the football team.

Yeah, "cup of coffee" usually refers to a very brief stint in whatever the relevant professional league is (as a player). It's not that uncommon to call the Arizona Cardinals "the Cards", either.

My favorite part of this strip is that it continues to deepen the inherent despair of Funky Winkerbean's world from "everyone is still in the same lovely Ohio town where they went to high school" to "they also tried really hard to escape but failed"!

In the storm of fever-dream nonsense that is every Holbrook strip, it's always nice to have a particularly insane forgotten thing come back to the fore to baffle me anew--in this case, "why on earth does Holbrook think 'is always on a trapeze' is a character trait (1) at all (2) that makes any sense whatsoever?"

Still not touching each other. These strips are creepy.

As the next strip suggests, this is more likely than not because the artist has no idea how to draw human bodies interacting.
