Already posted in the old thread, posting again here with synposes: The Amazing Spider-man is batshit insane in all the best ways. Exhibit A: Spiderman once defeated a werewolf by projecting the sun inside a planetarium at night, which confused the lycanthropy enough that it just killed the dude instead. Exhibit B: He's had his powers centrifuged out of him by Magneto(and centrifuged back in by reversing the energy flow). I post both old strips(started in 1999, now up to 2011, posted a week at a time so we get through them at a reasonable pace) and current strips. Current story arc is Killgrave using his mind control powers for vague evil purposes; he's currently spending several days gloating about how Spiderman is a better mind control target than Luke Cage. 2011 story arc involves Spidey being framed for a robbery by the Big Boss, Serra Carson both stealing Peter's job and publically believing that Spidey is innocent, and MJ getting jealous over it. There's a dedicated NSM thread here, although it's likely to be remade for the new year. 2011 Spiderman        The Amazing Jump  Dick Tracy is a long-running crime serial strip. It's currently starting a Minit Mystery, a week long arc where the mystery in question makes even less sense than usual.  Origins of the Sunday Comics is a variety of old Sunday comics of wildly varying quality and readability. My favorites are the ones predicting the future based on new-fangled technology like telegraphs and the automobile, which tend to be surprisingly accurate even when the artists thought they were making up wild jokes.  The Spirit of the Staircase only updates once every other week. It's about a bunch of weirdos doing mundane things, more or less.

Some Guy TT posted:Wait, do thermostats actually work that way? I always jack mine up as high as possible and just turn it off when I've decided its warm enough, and even in freezing winter my heating bills are really low. Your heating bills are probably low because you're not turning the heat back on as soon as the thermostat would.

I guess it's time to post this in the new thread.Lynn posted:Johnston: Yes, and when I had Aaron, he left me, and I didn’t know how to raise a child. And I wasn’t close to my parents, and because I was too proud to go to my parents for help, I mistreated that little baby. I didn’t want a baby. I wanted the stability that a family was supposed to represent. And a baby can’t say, “Thanks, Mom, for feeding me and keeping me warm and dry even though I screamed my lungs out all night last night.” And they want and they want and they want and they want. The only satisfaction you have is that they’re fed and they’re warm and they’re safe and they’re thriving, and they smile at you every once in a while. They’re not going to thank you until they’re 45 [laughter].

I found that I had to read it for a while(after it really caught my attention with The Case of the Fire Inside) for it to click for me, but once that happened it made a lot more sense.

StrixNebulosa posted:*I mean technically he can, but that seems like gross misuse of power to me. Even without a relationship of mutual respect, being a douchey hardass doesn't work if your adult son knows your attempts at grounding him have no teeth. (Normally the teeth would be the threat of evicting him, but if Ed was going to do that he'd have done it a long time ago, considering how much he hates Dustin.)

It probably says something that people are so unused to subtly that a comic strip that doesn't go "WOW, SHE'S PREGNANT. LET'S MAKE EVERY CHARACTER REPEATEDLY COMMENT THAT SHE'S PREGNANT SO YOU DON'T MISS IT." confuses people slightly.

I think the point of this one was them showing off that they totally know Donnie Pitchford, who they just spent an entire story arc doing in-joke stuff about. The Gocomics commenters are complaining about it too, which is a sign is actually is that bad. Aside from the one weirdo who keeps popping up to make bad Dick Tracy poems.

For as obsessed as Holbrook is with DNA and "biology" and his world full of animal people and emphasizing what species everything is, he really doesn't know/care how animals actually work. See also: His strict predator/prey dihectomy.
