The ending of Mr. Boop is, something. From the quick look I took, I was curious. We've got two and a half months to catch up on, folks. (I scrolled to find where we left off, which was sometime in October.)

I should do some summaries I guess. I'm not doing the full backstory, just some notes from memory. Because it's early and :effort:

Family Circus began in 1960, written by Bill Keane. He died, and Jeff(y) Keane took over in 2011. It rarely has a storyline, other than the kids aren't bright.


Rose is Rose began in 1984, written by Pat Brady. Drawn by him as well until 2004, and now one Don Wimmer is the artist. Back in the early days, Brady's fat fetish was super obvious in the comic strip. It was toned down a lot though.


One Big Happy, Rick Detore, 1988. It was at one time a thread favorite, but started a downslide when the joke kept turning to "haha poor and/or different people sure are WEIRD aren't they?" Ruthie is the voice for Rick, like Carmen is Stantis/Allie's voice in Prickly City.



For Better or For Worse, or FOOB as it is more commonly known here from some line in the last few years of the strip. Lynn Johnston, 1979-2008 was the original run. New "reruns" (Lynn rewriting and doing some redrawing) began mid 2010. This thread started out as a critique of Foob if memory serves, in the twilight years of the original run. Lynn is an, interesting woman. And not well regarded for a number of reasons.


Compu-Toon, Charles Boyce, 1994 original syndication, 2001 for GoComics. Boyce is horribly inept at art, technology, and sometimes writing. But he's lovable and a genuinely sincere guy by our understanding. So we have a thread underdog.


Bizarro, Dan Piraro, 1985 on. Drawn by Piraro as well until 2018, when a friend of his known only as Wayno took over the daily art. Piraro still draws the Sundays. Surreal gag-a-day comic, Piraro looks like a caricature. Seriously, look at this man and tell me he's to be taken seriously.


I used to post Dilbert as well. But we dropped that during a terribly racist storyline a few years ago. gently caress Scott Adams, he's a dipshit and a Trumpist, high on his own farts.

and I also post Foxtrot as well. Started in 1988 by Bill Amend. It ran daily until the end of 2006, when it turned to Sunday only. It's tech jokes + family slice of life, with better timing than Holbrook has ever managed. Amend actually understands technology.

I blame you for this discovery, Elysiume.
https://safehavenscomic.tumblr.com/

According to wikipedia, which is almost certainly maintained by Holbrook himself.
"Roger - Roger has been practising to become a mascot his entire life. Rarely seen outside of costume, he was the mascot of the Havens High School Fighting Personal Digital Assistants (the team used to be called the Lions until a "contribution" from a high-tech firm resulted in the name change). Roger takes his mascot role incredibly seriously, communicating entirely through the costume's screen display. Roger's face has never been shown since he is always wearing some sort of full-body costume. Even in the day care, he wore a box, and then made it into a television costume. He is on the mission to Mars as the Main Computer interface."

The potential implication here that Gunther is running an illegal hairdressing service during lockdown is a pretty bad thing to normalise on the funny pages.

But maybe actual lockdowns are rare enough in the US that that implication doesn't register there?

That's not GWAR at all! Where's Blothar?
I appreciate that Sunday Monty.

And, I'm the girl that posted Dilbert, and we had that long discussion. And still posts OBH. So, OBH isn't *USUALLY* lovely. But I'll try my best to keep tabs on it from now on. And skip or just link the ones that seem lovely (be it about the poor, transphobic, whatever.) But if OBH somehow pulls off a lovely joke this week? Then I'll probably drop it because gently caress that.
