1-----4 2-----5 3-----6 -------- 7----10 8----11 9----12 Cheer Up Boss Dharma  That's right, back by popular demand, from viewers like you! Not literally viewers like you. What I mean is, Dharma comics have been popular on South Korean internet message boards over the last few years. It took me awhile to find a digital source for the new one because most search engine results assume you want the old ones. Sports Dongah probably considers a feature, not a bug, since it incentivizes people to buy their newspaper. Hence why they gave Park Seong-hoon a contract to write a revival last summer. Three new characters are introduced by name here in Dharma's new office, which is otherwise mostly the same as the old office. The names are all obvious puns, so for the sake of consistency I'm also giving English language pun names to It's All Right Chief Dharma characters too now, even though those puns tended to be a lot more subtle. Dharma is already a pun (it's not a standard Korean name) on account of being a loan word, so that one doesn't need to be changed.

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. Transmodiar posted:Probably the same rear end in a top hat who turned me into Mordock. Usually I would agree but yikes, you're making this comment on spring grip salmon pink bikini day? Cheer Up Boss Dharma  The typeset I used is fairly large compared to the one in the original to insure words are readable. Some nuance is occasionally lost in the process.

Hm, well I guess I could just pretend like this is still the first page.Kennel posted:no even in thumbnail form this is too cruel What's really jarring about these is that I'm so used to the James version of Nancy, and so reflexively recognize it as a modern update when viewed right next to the Bushmillers, that reading all these months later felt like someone was throwing up a DeviantArt fanfic all over the thread. Even that weird TerryToon Nancy looked more like Nancy than this. Vargo posted:A Problem Like Jamal I can't decide whether the Calvin homage is the argument Jamal is making or the TV show he's angry about. Very Dinette Set moment for me, but I like enough of the rest of it to want to see more.

She's not wrong. I'm hard pressed to see any other newspaper comic pulling off the right mix of coherent, stupid, and pretentious necessary to inspire a good mock thread. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  I have to force myself not to add timg tags out of sheer habit.

It's not actually a spa that's just what they're calling a normal hotel. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  Crab meat is considered upscale cuisine in South Korea today. The context of the conversation implies that Dharma is buying but I didn't have enough space to make that explicit. I've heard that eating at a crab restaurant here is only about half as much here compared to, say, Finland, but it's important to remember that eating at restaurants in South Korea in general is very cheap.

Tiggum posted:Alley Oop is the latest comic to get a reboot. It's about a time travelling caveman. The new version starts today. Are you sure we're still getting preteen Alley Oop? Because this just looks like regular old Alley Oop to me, and I'm not really sure how middle school drama is supposed to be worked into a comic with a premise as straightforward as just punching dinosaurs. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  And I learned a new word today.

Tiggum posted:This is regular Alley Oop. Li'l Oop is basically a separate comic that runs on Sundays while the main, adult Alley Oop runs the others six days. We won't see the first Li'l Oop till next week. Ooohhh...well now that I know that the concept sounds a lot less ridiculous. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  Contract jobs refer to temporary positions. At will employment might be the better translation but I didn't have that much space.

Maxwell Lord posted:I have never worked in the comics industry, but FFS.... Les has never allowed his ignorance and lack of logical reasoning stop him from writing technically minded stories. The football games he used to do always showcased his inability to grasp anything about how the rules worked except to the extent that the game involves catching and tackling. His knowledge of mainstream comic production is similarly shallow for all the time he has devoted to setting this dumb storyline up.

It's unnerving thinking about what real life anecdote inspired Dustin's narcolepsy. A sick millennial or one who's so overworked regular sleep isn't an option? Either way just assuming the cause is laziness is crass to say the least.

StrixNebulosa posted:...What did he write on the calendar? ...Huh, I forgot we don't have that in English language culture. Which is funny, since as you can see, it's in English, and is based on an English language reference. Specifically, D-Day. When making long-term plans South Korean people will often designate D-# to mean number of days until the plan is executed.

Pastry of the Year posted:Arlo and Janis Classic (June 17, 1997) Yikes, a lot of brutal honesty in here. Yet there's still the characteristically wry Arlo and Janis humor about how there's no middle ground between disproportionately punishing the guy and letting him off scot free, not like she gets a choice. Good stuff. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  I play video games like this.

PetraCore posted:It was originally two two-page spreads or something, I thought. It's actually not, Boss Dharma's printed out on a single page and the version I post is exactly how it looks in newsprint, with the date and page number and everything. Chief Dharma was also printed this way as are the long form comic strips that are exclusive to other newspapers. Why, I don't know. It's just what the convention is. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  Sick sounds weird here but the original is using it directly as English slang.

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?

csammis posted:Oh my god Boss Dharma's devil The comic itself has mentioned it a few times. The implication is they offered him his job back at a promotion to avoid paying off his pension since he had to stop for medical reasons. Since living in Jeju Dharma appears to have lost weight, and his new job isn't as stressful as the old one. I love that devil by the way.

Luxrage posted:Part 2 of the Nov. 8th 1989 Corpus Christi Caller Times comic spread. All of these are timg'd because they're all pretty large without it. I don't know if breaking tables is still bannable or if the tables even break at this point but some I had to leave quite large to keep the detail in (mainly Calvin and Foob) For the record they don't. This is why I don't use tags even though my comic is fairly large. I only realized this when I was asking for technical help in uploading them last year. Resident Idiot posted:https://www.bemidjipioneer.com/opinion/columns/4555054-generations-evan-hazard-multi-talented-cartoonist-brooke-mceldowneys-comics Oh hey, the kind of review I hate the most- the one that just gives a basic outline and plot summary and throws in a few superlatives about how great it is without ever explaining what the reading experience is like or why the author liked it. Eight hundred words, all dedicated to describing nothing. I'd rag on the author for being a biology professor but it's not like professional writers are any better at it. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  I can't remember if Mother From Another Country did the exact same gag or not. Some Guy TT fucked around with this message at 12:20 on Jan 16, 2019 |

Evil Mastermind posted:Super-Fun-Pak Comix learns it early. Huh, surprisingly easy to write children as unsympathetic as long as you're not trying to rationalize a martyr complex. The Bloop posted:This post is exceedingly polite and NuOop is total garbage so far At least it's readable. Every other version of Alley Oop I can remember was completely impenetrable. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  The original expression was "last hired" and is the same word used for lastborn child in a family.

davidspackage posted:All of you self-spoiling fools are missing out on the angst I get from one Jamal a day. I hovered over one by accident but thankfully it was pretty vague. Please don't get specific spoiler text goons. Samovar posted:I try to go for the pacing that I feel doesn't break up action or story beats, but if people would prefer 2 strips a day, I'm game for that - that sound good to everyone? It does! I'd like to add that if you're only doing two at a time, timg tags probably aren't necessary. Three at a time should also be good, if one of the pages is a bumper or you want to avoid breaking up the flow of a scene. Cheer Up Boss Dharma  I was just reading a (very bad) blog post the other day about how the increased acceptability of public displays of affection in South Korean daily life is feminist, somehow.

Really Pants posted:Chief < Boss < Underlord < Praetor < Overlord < Supreme Tyrant You joke but I've just been avoiding referring explicitly to ranks between Boss and CEO because I don't have a clue how to translate those job titles without making them sound about that ridiculous. Nenonen posted:Fictional cartoon character's (who has been introduced like a week ago) death is a loving serious deal. I mean just look at Funky Winkerbean. Whoa, now that you mention it the sheer speed is what gives it impact. Remember when Johnson took several weeks to ham-handedly kill off that dumb dog for maximum drama? Cheer Up Boss Dharma  Actually I can't think of a good word for her job title either. The other lower ranked characters are just regular employees but she's an errand...doing...person?
