Vargo posted: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.

The characters in old Foob look like lumpy potato people even at the best of times, but the babies are the absolute worst.

Tiggum posted: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.

readingatwork posted: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.

dismas posted:I believe it means he was briefly recruited by the Arizona Cardinals (as a player? a coach?) 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"! readingatwork posted:CB fighting back is the kind of thing you just don't see after 1960 or so which is too bad. 1960 on is basically "the learned helplessness years".

FrumpleOrz posted:Safe Havens 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?"
