Flyers tickets are so cheap now because the Flyers suck. I just checked stubhub and I can get Mezzanine tickets for a game this week for $35. Center ice is like $120.

I actually deeply relate to this one, as my dad loves hockey and I don't care about it, so he bought me a Gritty jersey to wear when we go to games.

Curt-hahahahaha what the gently caress


"Prejudice would go away if we all looked the same. But we don't all look the same and that's awesome. So I guess don't have prejudice"

Okay, so like... prejudice isn't just about outward appearance though. There's still sexual/gender prejudices, religious prejudices, territorial ones, etc...

But even if it was, this doesn't do anything because NOT EVERYONE LOOKS THE SAME NOW. People all still have differences, they just now have bigger teeth and ears! There are three different skin tones right in the second panel!!!

I guess it means "since everyone looks the same (as Joe) prejudice and ridicule were ended (for Joe)" but that's not how it works or how it reads!

I don't mean that particular C&H, I meant C&H itself as "one of the best known strips of all time." This is the third time recently he's taken from Watterson really obviously.

Tauhid also did "giant shoes" jokes in The Problem With Jamal, and he was very open that they were homages to the Zits running gags. I think they're loving references and there's enough there to make it distinctly different that it's not a complete rip-off.

This actually happened when I was a kid, my parents took us to see Weird Al at a state fair and my little sister was disappointed because she thought she was going to see a giant weird owl.

I have a soft spot for Bizarro. He will draw any and all puns that runs through his mind and I applaud him for it.

This is why I hate Bizarro, most of these aren't really puns or even jokes or really anything. Also sometimes he's weirdly pretentious and judgemental but that hasn't happened for a while.

Am I imagining things, or does the color palate not pop quite as much as it did at CK? Not that that isn't closer to proper school bus yellow, but still...


Arcamax definitely has different color settings on its image files than CK does. When I posted Curtis from there for a few days it looked like everyone was wearing day-glo spandex.

Anybody interested in the new (school) Peanuts collection by artists that aren't Schultz? It's closer to a graphic novel than a strip but I think it counts. I haven't read it yet so I can't vouch for it's quality but either way I think it would be interesting to see how it compares to the classic (and 70s) stuff.



I would probably advise against this, because if there's anything that's gonna get us into copyright trouble, it's posting pages from a book in print right now featuring one of the world's most highly marketed brands.

This one was kinda hard to translate. In norwegian "untidy room", "untidy drawer" or "untidy closet" is a term that means "a place you put stuff that don't belong in other places" but there doesn't seem to be an english term like that.

Wasn't the boat explosion from her first Mark Trail arc? Or was that a reference to another famous Mark Trail boat explosion? They bring up the boat a lot but no one talks about how Mark blew up a police helicopter in that arc too iirc

The famous boat explosion was in James Allen's first arc, that was also the arc where Mark straight-up kills a scuba diver by cutting his oxygen hose with a fishing spear. I remember how excited the thread was for this new incarnation of Mark Trail, 80s action hero. And how quickly that fell off.

Similarly, I think Jules had Mark doing stuff (and talking to animals) initially too (and maybe that's when he blew up the helicoptor?) If she had a boat explosion, I don't remember it, but they've been referencing the initial JamesAllen boatsplosion since like, week one.


I can't explain why Bizarro makes me so angry but it sucks and I hate it.

Doomykins posted:

Jules would never honor Jamesallen, Mark caused a boatload of fireworks to explode in the first storyline where he made up with his estranged dad. It's real touching, the first major plothole in New Trail where Mark almost literally steps off camera and teleports away from Florida and all consequences as though it was a Peter vs Giant Chicken gag on Family Guy.

I assume Mark's dad just murdered the clear and present eye witness Mark was fighting in that boat. :allears:

I'm not going to check, but I'm PRETTY sure that before Mark blew up those fireworks, Jules still had everyone in the strip talk about "ol Mark sure does love to blow up the boats!"
She definitely at least mentioned Mark's boat-exploding tendencies in an interview as a reason why she was interested in the character to begin with.
