NRVNQSR posted:Nah, top quality bullshit soap opera writing would maintain the illusion that he's dead for six months or so, then have him reappear at the most awkward time possible. No, she does a good job with a lot of characters and stories. Here she's giving the people what they want, giving the syndicate what gets the clicks and the attention.

Twelve by Pies posted:I'm not qualified to speak as to whether Pastis is liberal, centrist, or slightly conservative. All I know is he has made a shitload of strips attacking people who ride bikes, portraying them as pompous assholes who everyone should hate. So I'm not inclined to give him any benefit of the doubt. Those strips are actually specifically jabs at a friend of his.

riderchop posted:i think it should be a real time travel plot and when he comes back to the present everything's different It really should. But, despite presenting himself as a superhero comics superfan, TomBat would never do a major timeline reset because he can't bring himself to alter the one thing that has given his life meaning.

Good Listener posted:Popcorn is actually pretty healthy as long as you're not like slamming kettle corn or super buttery movie stuff? I dunno I saw this and am angry. Popcorn is good Look at the panel. The sugar, fat, and sodium levels are huge so it's obviously one of those super flavored caramel butter corn concoctions.

goatface posted:It's such a specific thing to include though. The papacy doesn't move much, it's the Bishop of Rome after all, so I don't know why he has decided it would be an appropriate thing to move here. Other than the Avignon Papacy yeah. It's weird because Foster is usually pretty good about these things. I mean, he mashes a bunch of historic events into the same time period but he usually doesn't make up major historic events.

Green Intern posted:Chiming in to say that I really hate this I teach high schoolers. I'm a fairly laid-back and personable teacher; I get along well with most of my students. That said, I don't think any of them would imagine inviting me to a graduation party and I wouldn't imagine accepting. The issues of professionalism and just general "adulting" don't seem to matter to Les though.

Resident Idiot posted:Yeah, Frazz is independently wealthy from some song he wrote, which is relevant to the strip approximately 0% of the time. It's relevant to explain why a school janitor can afford fancy bikes and have the emotional capital to "share his wisdom" with the kids and subtly mock all the faculty and staff he works with.
