EasyEW posted:Happy New Year! I can't quite agree with some goons' ideas on this. Apart from a couple strips, these three seem to dog this kid's every waking step, acting like some self-bemoaning Greek chorus. Get yerselves a dog and snap out of it!

I haven't been reading Little Lefty because the first story was about racial integration and Ralph Ellison got to me first when it comes to Stalinists and that subject.

The Elementary Force would be even better. But this is Batiuk. He thinks Oceanaire, which should be a slightly-shabby motel in Florida, is a good name.

BigglesSWE posted:This really was a Catch-22 for us all. Baituk has her winning here, so we'll get a week or so of smug "Lisa's Story is the most important thing to ever happen in the universe, grovel you mortals", but if he had her lose instead, it'd be a week or so of smug "decadent Hollywood don't care about true art and can't comprehend the genius of Lisa's Story". Draw it out? And delay the praising of Les Moore? F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Batiuk has an Al Bundy-like obsession with wringing every last drop from his Which award did he win?

And on Sunday, it looks like Mama is going to need some talking to:  And about The 'bean, I see someone here has made the same mistake I did. Les Moore did not write the screenplay for this latest movie. He wrote the screenplay for the one he pulled the plug on. Mason Jar the movie actor specifically told Les he was not going to write it this time. So his contribution amounts to having written a book about St Lisa and jerking Mason around Central Park for a few hours.
