 It's the 2019 internet thread for sequential images stamped into mashed trees.  For those who came in late, this thread is for sharing and enjoying newspaper (and newspaper-adjacent) comics ranging from the sublime to the damned; from Andertoons to Ziggy. If you have some interesting comics to post they are more than welcome, good or bad they all go onto this hoarder's trove we're committed to building each and every year. There are a few exceptions, but the general rule is that the product must have been published in a newspaper or periodical at some point; it's done by an artist whose work was, or it's hosted by Comics Kingdom or GoComics as that counts as syndication now that the printed word is gone forever. Last year we had an amazing time - a handsy boomer lost his comic to a hungry millennial, the extended saga of weirdly obsessed Luann fans culminated in widespread deletion of their comments with only the ominous "Please refrain from erotic speculation about our characters" as a tombstone, we saw the return of the vigilante everyman Look upon these comics ye might and despair

Alternative Google Drive downloads  (By Forktoss) As is the tradition, our hard-working enthusiasts will kick us off by posting either their favourite edits of last year, or by introducing their comics as if for the first time because that's the whole reason to roll back those page numbers - the onboarding of new readers into an archaic and obsolete medium that happens to have newspaper comics posted to it.

   like, where do you even begin on this eight-year old's-level tantrum rebellion of conspicuous consumption put into the mouth of a fictional mid-twenties millennial by a nearly-fifty year-old man?

Nekonaughey is the best fat ginger cat in a hotly contested field. He does his best, which is all anyone can ever do, although sometimes he might need a helping hand from his best friend billionaire bunny Tetenusagi. There is no spoken dialogue in the strip, just animal noises that I do not translate. Occasionally I will try to provide cultural notes.  Saisen is an offering to the gods/spirits. Offering boxes are fairly common at shrines/temples and even if you're just visiting you're expected to at least throw a few coins. The slatted top of one is what you can see in the first few frames - they make it easy to drop your money in but hard to get back out. It's traditional to visit a shrine at the beginning of the year so that you can pray for what you'd like to happen in the coming year - essentially lodging your new year's resolutions with the spirits - and as part of that offer thanks for any assistance they give you. Obviously the more you bribe the gods with the better returns you'll get.

He doesn't even have to be accurate because the episode isn't at all about the mystery of how animals reproduce, but about the delivery of diplomatically important grain shipment.

Yes, and it is a continuing issue whenever he does these sorts of things because he likes to use the whole setup as analogies to things in isolation of everything else that happens, which as you point out, results in weird things like sometimes he has a holiday camp with predators/herbivores split up like boys and girls, but also it's just a background detail that they're split up because the 'boys' will literally kill and consume the 'girls', or a main 'good guy' threatening to publicly "out" a trans-character - which is problematic in itself - with the full knowledge that the actual threat behind it is not simply embarrassment but direct exposure to bodily violence and death from their society.

Some Guy TT posted:I vaguely remember there being a week where its revealed that not-Quagmire still lives with his mom and was all smug about it with Skip. Although a playdate still begs the question of why no parents punished him for burying Skip's toy. Does anyone remember not-Quagmire's actual name?

it introduces the character as an archetype for you to detail around with your own prejudices and assumptions as they move through the prologue before stopping in the middle of the storyline to say "hey, this is actually a person like everyone else in this situation" while the framing brings him back down to jamal's level after having towered over him (and the cop) the whole time because in that moment he's just someone's kid.

Powered Descent posted:But then why was the girlfriend (Cody's big sister) also given the hidden-head treatment? Is she an archetype that towers over the other characters too? The comment about towering-over was in regard to placing him down on the curb next to Jamal for the reveal of his face - there's a partial reveal during the argument with the cop but why wasn't that the full reveal? Having him sit on the curb next to his brother while, presumably, his mother argues with the policeman shifts the frame of who he is from a (justifiably) angry black teen to a mother's son by equivocating him and Jamal through attitude, body position, and expression. Revealing his face asks the reader to connect with his character as something other than an abstract - doing it during the conflict with the policeman would inherently also ask the reader to take a side in the conflict, but doing it in a moment of understood vulnerability asks the reader to simply sympathise with the feeling of vulnerability induced by the conflict, which itself has been momentarily abstracted by being moved completely out of frame.

I feel like if I'd personally kicked the poo poo out of Osama bin Laden, bringing him to justice, then spent an hour or so successfully avoiding the police then I'd be so pumped full of adrenaline and invulnerability juice I would also find it hard to empathise with anyone not on my high.
