This isn't STRICTLY SPEAKING a comic strip, but does involve them: local webcomics whipping-boy Questionable Content has been doing 100 stupid comics (his words, not mine) over the last week or so and one of today's new-year-fresh batch involves a familiar subject!

Manuel Calavera posted: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.

Cowslips Warren posted:drat I love the Addams. But the comic always has Mortician looking miserable in a FOOB way. And I always forget how Gomez looked, for in my mind he is always Raul Julia. amigolupus posted:I think Jules might have even used a clipart of Mark Trail just for that authentic Jamsallen tracing. And a Dr. Vargo cameo would absolutely rule. Good lord I wish they'd lost clip!Mark's body along with it. That thing looks even more creepy when it's outside its natural home of the uncanny valley.

SubNat posted:Yeah, it's very good. edit: also a very very late review while I have this on my mind: new Mark Trail is messy, but it's the energetic kind of messy that I enjoy, rather than whatever the hell it was via the creepy ol' coot and his combination of clip-art, tracing, and hashish-addled scribbling. The pacing is surprisingly quick for a serial newspaper strip too. I can get why some people got stuck on the fireworks in the helicopter, but I put that in the same action scene ballpark as 'punching someone unconscious is perfectly harmless' but for vehicles.

amigolupus posted:oh no, yet another boyfriend of axa is an awful monster. davidspackage posted:drat it, Axa, when will you learn: trust only your robot, buff hunks will never help you. Cowslips Warren posted:Otherwise...when I was a kid, and lived in a military base in New Mexico, we were known for being the turtle family, to the point my dad got a call from some freight company to pick up a stowaway. See, they were shipping in air conditioning units from Florida to NM, and at some point a Florida gopher tortoise crawled into one of the shipping freight boxes. And was delivered to NM, where the boxes sat for a good few months. By the time they cracked the case open, Frisky was super dehydrated and barely alive, but my dad picked her up, brought her home, and we got her back to sassy health quickly. I mostly remember her chasing me around the backyard because I always gave her extra treats.  Powered Descent posted:One of the later Sherlock Holmes stories (published 1923) features this phenomenon: it turns out the villain has been taking a particularly powerful gland extract from monkeys in order to restore his youth and vitality, but every time he takes a dose he starts acting very monkey-like, to the point of climbing effortlessly up vines (which is how he got to an upper-story window, thus resolving a piece of the mystery).

Unironically looking forward to Mark Trail's Sunday iguana facts, possibly delivered after being thrashed senseless by an irate iguana's tail.

Saw this, was compelled to find out if it works in reverse. Hmm, nope, not quite as good. Though in retrospect, who wouldn't have predicted that Hulk dialogue is more interesting than anything from Mary Worth.

Kind of want to see postwar Everett True coming home from work to find seventeen different victims of shell shock waiting on his porch with tire irons, purposeful intent, and big warm welcoming smiles.
