Don't worry, we still have Crankshaft, which now apparently also has all those FW characters.

So really, it's not so much that FW is over as TomBat has just condensed his two comic universes into a single strip.

E: Mostly I bitch about comics, but sometimes I make edits.

It's a shame this thread just started, because Comic Strips 2023: Is this about lion semen? would be an excellent thread title.

I have to admit, I am super glad that Ces is tackling this issue. I was kind of aggravated with the strips where Hil found Steve in the woods over the holidays and it at first seemed like they were suggesting that all her problems were magically solved when she got that photo, especially given the build-up beforehand.

the football storyline ended with the villain coach winning the game, but being unsatisfied in his win because thorp was being a good sport about losing. right now we are starting up basketball season and also advancing the gil thorp's marriage is crumbling storyline with what is looking like a surprise twist lesbian affair with the tennis golf instructor

honestly i am loving loving gil thorp after forcing myself to actually read it, BUT i will say the biggest flaw in it is the sports. because gil thorp is in fact a high school gym coach his professional and personal life are kinda gonna by necessity revolve around high school sports. so far it looks like the writer is trying to keep the sports shown accurate for what would be played in high school at the time, which puts a fairly severe limit to how the sport-sided storylines can and must progress; its the holiday problem i pointed out earlier but very unfortunately baked into the premise

i dunno, maybe im making excuses, but i genuinely do like gil thorp and im glad it gets posted :shobon:

I have to agree with all of this. I tend to skip past the game-centric strips, but I am enjoying the hell out of the rest of it. So Julet Esqu, please know that you are not posting it in vain.

Twitter user @MyrlCrowe does edits to comic strip panels and uses a new one as their avatar every day. They've done "Dick Tracy" and "Rex Morgan" in the past (and probably others as well), and are currently doing panels from "Mary Worth". They keep an archive of all of their avatars on the @UsedAvatars feed. It's beautiful nightmare fuel.

I know what wallpaper is in computer terms. I'm just curious what TomBat thinks it is in web development terms.

Somehow I just KNOW this website has that early-days-of-the-internet Geocities look with the loud colors, generic flashing graphics, and cutesy little "Under Construction" gifs.

all right this is too far

They've turned it from "Ellie is the same age as my parents" to "Ellie is the same age as my younger brother [and transitively, Elizabeth, because I'm the same age as Michael, who is graduating high school this year in strip time]"

god damnit

Yeah, that ruined my morning when I saw it, too, for the exact same reason.

That word doesn't even have an s in it!

One of the thing that grates on me the most in this comic is the cat's lisp. Often it's done incorrectly like in this strip, but it's also inconsistent (sometimes the cat will lisp on an "S" word, and sometimes he won't).

I think the biggest issue I'm having is that Mud/Fergus/whoever is dressed like a Man In Black. If he's really on some hippy-dippy spiritual journey thanks to this new (scam artist) guru, he should look less like a government agent and more like a flower child from the 60s.

If it doesn't turn out to be a roll-top desk (perhaps with a green-shaded banker's lamp), I for one will be very disappointed.
