I don't understand why people defend her like she's a real person who's being mischaracterized. She's literally a character, so any characterization is just how she is.

It's not good writing but she doesn't have an honor to defend

Because it reflects deeply hosed up attitudes the author holds.

Well, sometimes it is obviously, but those aren't the times I'm taking about.

I don't personally need or want to be reminded of the framing that evans wants to punish the people who were mean to him in high school by proxy every time it comes out as inexcusably bad writing. But I don't mind people pointing out that he's doing it again.

It'd be like pointing out that brooke is blatantly writing his weird fetishes every time that turns into a hosed up strip

On The Fastrack


A self-describing comic.

What. even. is. this.

I normally skip over holbrook, and all discussion of holbook as a deeply costly thing for my sanity otherwise. But what the gently caress? Am I supposed to know this character, who we only know as someone elses' daughter, so well that this completely nonsensical series of panels somehow forms a coherent thought. And not only that but find it funny?

What the gently caress was going through holbrook's head? A bubble test makes no sense? Why? Is it supposed to be anti-humor about how the strip itself makes no sense up until the last panel? Is there some characteristic to "Autocorrect"(are they an actual character or literally the concept of autocorrect?) that would make them fill out a bubble test in that way?

Of course, if you don't think she looks great in those jeans, it's safe to tell her they don't flatter her. And if you think she looks like a dump truck in general, please do look in a mirror sometime. It is such an easy question to answer, you doofus.



Bernice is allegedly Luann's best friend. If Luann is having a romantic rendezvous (she is absolutely not), then that is prime material for telling your best friend. But these two aren't even willing to talk to each other when they have a crush. It's sad.

However, there's plenty of room for extremely smug faces.

This installment of The Timid Soul, from January 30, 1933 (two weeks earlier), pretty clearly indicates that Webster is making GBS threads on the Technocracy Movement in specific.

Bassett Jones was an electrical engineer who was mentioned in many Technocracy Movement contexts, but I'm not really sure who he was.

This installment of The Timid Soul was published November 5, 1928 -- the day before the 1928 Presidential election (Al Smith vs Herbert Hoover). It's interesting to see such an obvious precursor to the bumper sticker being displayed on the windshield instead.

I honestly can't tell if Caspar supporting Hoover meant that Webster supported Hoover too, or thought he was a worthless idiot - which was probably intentional. Don't want to piss off readers.

Look at all that gorgeous detail on the car. You can even read the license plate. And there's no need to have a tree in the panel, much less a wire cage protecting the tree, but as I've said before: HT Webster absolutely loved to draw.
