"Real" descriptions under the spoilers:

Garfield by Jim Davis is owned by Nickelodeon now, it's wild. He's gonna be in the Smash Bros clone! Sometimes the jokes aren't completely bad! ahhh, you know what Garfield is, it's still going


Look man you look at Heathcliff by Peter Gallagher and you tell me you don't feel anything. What a rascal! The current artist, nephew of the original crator, George Gately, just likes getting slightly surreal and weird with it. Prone to theme weeks. Garbage Ape Forever.


Overboard by Chip Dunham is a vibe not concerned with silly ideas like "consequences" or "what animals really look like". You will read a lot of sharks calling each other "sweetie" if you read this. I hope Chip stops making covid strips this year. The comic used to be about sorta mean pirates being sorta mean to each other, now it's about good natured jokes, and pirates wanting self improvement? Beyond the animal art, some talk and some just have thought cloud dialogue, depending on if they wear clothes, I think? It's comfy but I can see how it feels milquetoast.


Monty by Jim Meddick just needs to get through this week. And the next week. And the nex- A sleeper of the comics page, always has solid dialogue, art, and jokes. Rotating focus on the cast of characters means if you don't like the current set, you can tune in next week for better stuff.


For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston is a newspaper comic and it always will be. The originator of these threads! Chronicling the life of a mother with wild beliefs about raising kids! Currently in reruns of lightly edited old strips, to try to make it seem like they're set in current times. It doesn't work.


Compu-toon by Charles Boyce deserves the world, and a big physical collection. I wish nothing but the best for Charles Boyce and his wonderful understanding of technology. No, none of the jokes ever make sense. It's perfect.


On The Fastrack, featuring Dethany! from On the Fastrack! by Bill Holbrook is absolutely going to have an NFT storyline this year and there's nothing you can do about it. About a tech company and how they destroy your will to live. Don't read this one. Save yourself. Why's that lady's neck that long.


Safe Havens by Bill Holbrook has more insane lore than your favorite cross-media anime franchise. On paper, this one's about a genetics lab and the wacky mad scientist, but I don't know man, it's another convoluted Holbrook strip. Has a real early webcomic feel to it, despite being a syndicated strip its entire existence.


op is a hater, Rae the Doe is good, it's just better when there's puns This is a gay comic from a trans woman about a trans deer, probably the most recent strip to be syndicated, loves to do awful puns with lots of buildup, and loves to make video game/anime jokes from time to time

Looking forward to reading the thread this year!!! I'm so glad there's this place to experience such a wide breadth of comics, I never would have started reading Prince Valiant or Lynda Barry's work without it!

Also, I had a hell of a 2021 and due to many reasons was just not able to keep up with Dykes to Watch Out For. I had health issues, and moved into a very fixer-upper house, and sadly in the scuffle I still have no idea where a bunch of my Bechdel is (incidentally I did hold on to all of my Goethe but it is...also trapped in a mystery box somewhere in the basement or attic). But when I find them, I really would like to get back into posting them?

That's awful!!! Hope '22 is smoother in every way for you, would love to see more HW posts any time

Also if it stopped being posted I'd miss how the guy who writes it has no idea what animals look like, such as the "reindeer" in the storyline last month which were just dogs with antlers.

Ran into this at the op shop. Is it a proto-Ballard Street?





Cool! That's the immediate previous strip Van Amerongen did! 1980-1990. Ballard Street started up 1991 and it was multi-panel format, apparently, then it went back to single panel 2 years later.

lol at everyone who tried to kick the football thinking "surely this time Lucy won't pull it away!"

So now we're right on track for Wilbur and Estelle to be reunited at some point in the future and for her to apologize profusely for what happened to him, because she thinks it's all her fault for rejecting him.

she's going to get married while he's away and he'll be mad when he sees her husband
