Apparently by Playboy cartoonist Bernard Kliban, particularly known for his Cat cartoons:

What the gently caress, Holbrook.

Also Tauhid Bondia is a name that I haven�t heard in a long while. Can�t recall what webcomic it was that he wrote though.

"Broken Telephone", apparently. I vaguely recall it being absolutely miserable.

Working Daze is a garbage comic "written" by John Zakour and drawn by Scott Roberts, and is a long-time contender for "Worst Strip in the Tread". It's a lazy workplace "comedy" mixed with Big-Bang-Theory-level nerd jokes, which is to say they think references are jokes. Spoiler: they are not. In addition, some of the characters have total cosmic powers, and can turn people into objects, turn them to stone, and other stupid poo poo like that.

Given the prevalence of it I fear that, like with Holbrook and pregnancy stuff, the transformation material in Working Daze is a reflection of a fetish.

It's insane for me to be focused on this, but I've been waiting for them to show a window in this room-converted-from-a-closet (IIRC). If there isn't a window, it isn't safe or legal as anyone's bedroom.

That varies heavily by jurisdiction, and I think they only apply to initial homebuilders most of the time. The closet deathtrap's kosher! They just can't list it as a bedroom when they sell the house.

I should mention that for years, since first hearing of its history, I have long sought an available archive of Apple Mary, Mary Worth's original incarnation. If any of you have any idea of where I might find one, please let me know!

Panel 3 really needs to be "Listen, Pattie, I hear what you're saying and all but, like, a decade ago I couldn't attend this school"

That's pretty close to what the point of the comic is, if I'm interpreting it correctly.

Strong potential with that panel 4. I can't isolate nancy, but here's what I can do in Paint 3D.

Really, I think the comic has a lot of manipulation potential in general.

The Arlo and Janis with the chili secret ingredient could also use some love. And by love, I mean dog semen.

I now believe that Holbrook has some sort of curse placed on him where at least one of his fictional characters has to be pregnant at all times.

Heathcliff Old and New -- is it just me, or is old Heathcliff hitting a similar note of being weird and off-beat? Not as surreal, but it seems like the sense of humor is the same.

I had some very old collection books lying around my grandparents' house when I was a kid, and yes, absolutely. It was always very distinct from, e.g., Garfield.

I'd always thought that the idea of ankles being scandalous was some kind of hyperbole. Wild to see that ankle-gazing really was once a pervy thing to do!

I mean, if somebody looked at a lady's ankles in public with a wide-eyed, lustful expression nowadays it'd be pretty weird, but still.

I discovered some Andy Capp media on youtube:

An Andy Capp-based ad for a british wire transfer service.

Much more fittingly, an Andy Capp liquor ad.

Flo Capp, in live action, presenting some sort of edutainment program about gender roles?

Oh and, uh...one more thing.

There was an Andy Capp TV series.

Let me use this example: Imagine four panels on the left side of the page. Say a direct copy of the panel closest to the bottom is sent to the back of the line of panels on the right and takes the place of the first panel. The formerly first panel becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the page."

It was an illustrated children's paperback full of faerie tales about giants. One of them was The Brave Little Tailor I remember because I thought the belt buckle with "seven with one blow" for killing flies was hilarious.
But one of the illustrations had a giant face that looked like that one.
I also had a book of dragon faerie tales with illustrations by the same artist.

Ah, I was thinking of:
