Don't change anything about the thread, imo. This is one of three threads that got me to finally buy an account back in 2017 and it's become my online comics page. I enjoy hate-reading/laughing at some of the more infuriating (Dustin) or ridiculous (Mary Worth) strips, and there's a good mix of vintage and new stuff. I just skip the stuff I don't care about.

The last few weeks of Mary Worth has basically been those two beaming at each other talking about how much they love being in love; it's almost transcendent in its banality and I kind of love/hate it.

Mary Worth is at its very best when someone does something incredibly cringeworthy at a restaurant, dinner party or similar, and doesn't realize it. (Drunkenness optional.) That someone is often, but not always, Wilbur.

Definitely keep on posting what you post. If there's something I really don't like I can just keep scrolling, and sometimes stuff that I ignored will catch my eye and I'll become a loyal follower of it.

Is there no final sunday strip? Just a final ad for the store on the official winkerbean site, where you too can purchase Lisa’s Story?

He said on his website a few days ago that last Sunday's strip was the last Sunday strip. Very on brand for the epilogue to just sputter out in the most anticlimactic way possible.

Mister Olympus posted:as far as i'm aware, arranged marriages were common practice in korea well into the latter half of last century so the mom might well have forced her hand Nothing so literal unless you were living way out in the boonies. Maggie's just...uh...24 I want to guess? She was getting a little old to be unmarried, and it's already been mentioned that her father is dead, so the family has no means of financial support and are too respectably middle class to entertain the idea of the surviving women having to work. Maggie's younger sister might or might not have been in college at the time. I don't remember and I haven't gotten that far ahead in the translation yet. Now if you want a pedantic answer rather than a helpful one, technically the story is taking place in the aughts, because it was the eighties when we started, and we've flashed forward into the future. That's going to be in an upcoming panel. Whether that was true in the original comic or if this is a foob style lazy update I'm honestly not sure. All of the monetary figures I've been giving only really make sense in terms of what money was worth when the comic was originally written. It's equally plausible that the author didn't know that inflation existed, or that whoever added the date 200x just didn't bother to fix the financial references because it was too much work. I'm leaning to the second one because the Korean Baseball League was formed about a year before the comic first started being published. This is roughly contemporaneous with the first appearance of the adult versions of the characters, where it's mentioned that the Korean Baseball League was only formed recently and didn't exist at all when Planck first met Director Sohn as a kid. It would be very odd to act as if the formation of a Korean Baseball League was something that was only going to happen in the distant future when it had, in fact, already happened in the real world.

I was working on a final post to wrap up Brenda, and I stumbled over Mark Carlson-Ghost's thoroughly exhaustive summary of the strip. Long story short, reading all that has rekindled my interest in the strip, so I plan to continue running it. So you won't be left hanging with whatever's up with Queen Vallorie. As for the other strips I proposed, I will be adding some of them in the new thread. Which ones? Keep reading and find out! Rhymes with Orange  Get Fuzzy 12/30/02  I remember being a kid and amazing myself when I worked out that I was going to be alive to see the year 2000. (I told my dad, and he said, "Yeah, I'll be dead." My dad is strange sometimes. And just had his 79th birthday this year.) Stephen Collins  Brenda Starr 2/12/50  Smokey Stover 1/27/52  Retail 1935 12/12/35  "Before this lady asked you if that ribbon could be washed, I asked you how much this one was, but this other lady asked you before me if the color would fade and I want to know if it doesn't match my dress can I change it?" Bonus Comic! Private Lives proves that the popular appetite for insipid factoids about celebrities will never die. Raw spinach! Private Lives 8/5/40
