These are Chewri Comics, (츄리닝) an anthology comic which I was translating at the same time I did Asaekkiga way back when I was still taking Korean classes maybe...four years ago? I recall the reception to these being more hit-and-miss, but that may have been because the translations were more low quality, and I couldn't explain the cultural context as well as I can now. As an example, I had no idea what a "Chewriring" was at that time, hence why I called them Chewri Comics. I now know that Chewriring is some sort of weird foreign load word for Tracksuit, so if I were translating these today, I would call them Tracksuit.

What are those words around the gun in he "my gun's not working" panel?

Stuff that is hot. The label seems pretty clear to me? :confused:

Curtis reminds you that Curtis' dad/Ray Billingsley loving haaaaaaates rap music, which never made sense to me because he's supposed to be, at most, like 45-50, and when he pines for "music they made in my day", he really should be talking about early rap and hip-hop but instead it's some Gilchrist-esque reminiscing about Nat King Cole or some poo poo.

I think when it started the times lined up but it's an old strip that hasn't kept that stuff current.

Which is a shame because it'd be hilarious.

Agreed. Plus Jaf is dropping off shortly and the Dick Tracey plot is wrapping up.
I'm aware not everyone enjoys the comics I post and I don't want to make scrolling through too long.

As the person who initially asked for the dick tracy stuff I'd like to point out I didn't ask for this plot, I asked for this era of classic dick tracy baffling nonsense.

EDIT: In fact I was kind of interested in if it started off this insane and disjointed or if it got so over time.

So did they melt cheese over some chips, and then put cheese on the side?

I've seen the chips themselves be called Nachos. Served plain with a side of cheese. It's not too uncommon here in Ohio.

Nachos are the combination of chips and melted cheese and if Ohio disagrees i am going to burn Ohio to the ground.

This story is coming to an end - do y'all want more Dick?

YES.

Gilchrist's work has taken a brilliant turn! His new comic featuring the misadventures of hideous furry goblins has placed him among the ranks of masters of the grotesque like Bosch and Giger.

I don't know why he keeps calling his creatures "dogs", though?...

They are clealry labeled "Doggs", not "dogs".

I believe Crankshaft is still alive now, just confined to a wheelchair. So theoretically Funky could crash into him now, it just wouldn't be while he was driving a bus like he does now.

Wasn't that guy in the flash forwards in crankshaft eventually revealed to be somebody else?

When did Ray Billingsley stop putting "Onion" in quotes when Derrick and "Onion" come up?

Nothing gold can stay~

"Onion"'s parents probably got tired of all the problems having quotes in his name caused with automated systems and poo poo and got his name legally changed from "Onion" to Onion.

I'm in a bit of a rush but I'm also kind of curious how parsable this is without translation.

I think I can sort of vaguely tell what the joke is supposed to be but having to decipher it like this kills all the humor.

I swear to god they were taller whenever i last saw them, but maybe he just never drew them from the waist down before

Nah, I'm pretty sure they were always a pair where one is shorter, almost as short as Sluggo, and the other is a giant disembodied head.

I'm not sure if they skipped a storyline but both of them are forgotten after this strip and won't be mentioned again.

Or, here's an idea: send each other pictures of yourselves since you're already planning to meet physically.

Everett knows you can't just punish the those who do the wrong thing, you've got to encourage correct behavior too.

He's clearly speaking too loud for just talking to her, he wants to make sure everybody else around hears how he's effusively praising her for doing something really basic. Because they aren't doing it.
