Happy new year thread! Did we ever determine whether or not we wanted to add Doonesbury From Zero to the lineup or not? If so I will figure out how to start scraping and uploading it from gocomics a week at a time and start posting it.

Kavak posted:I refuse to believe Kelley is anti-Russian right now. that's why the anti-russian sentiment is coming from his LAZY FREELOADER MILLENNIAL NO-GOOD TEENAGER and his BRUTISH NAGGING BALL AND CHAIN WIFE. they're stopping him from getting his LEGITIMATE GOP DONATIONS to our OVERSEAS PATRIOTIC ASSOCIATES just imagine I relabeled this terrible comic in the style of an onion kelly cartoon

Sundae posted:Please please please, let it be that Ed misread without his glasses and he's signed up for a pole dance class (b/c who the gently caress has ever heard of pole vault classes in adult ed ). I'd forgive this comic at least a few of its sins if it made Ed extremely uncomfortable for a week run. Dollars to donuts Kelley is either going through a rough fourth divorce or all of his ex-wives are coming back to him for alimony or something. Boomer chud cartoonists project all of their problems and every perceived slight against them straight into their work.

Samovar posted:Eh - there have been many snowman comics from C&H, I certainly wouldn't describe that as 'one of the best known strips of all time'. Yeah, when I think C&H snowman strips, I think of the strips that are extremely elaborate horror shows Calvin builds on the front lawn.

I really hope this Crabgrass arc really is Kevin Is Actually Pretty Goddamn Smart And That's Awesome. We need some of that to offset the "hurf blurf my kids are lazy idiots unlike me, boomer mom/dad" comics.

NVTrainee posted:So, what's the thread consensus on Prince Valiant lately? I remember many threads ago that it was more negative, but it could've been different people talking about it opposed to now. Compared to other comic strips, the art is gorgeous and I love the weekly story updates. It is the best long form cartoon ever put on paper and I will die before I let it fall from this thread.

I would love to see a real-time recording of the process of drawing one of these strips, just to be able to see how long it takes and how little effort goes in.

Vargo posted:No, I get that it's Trump but like... why are you not saying "Trump?" It's a C-SPAM version of that. It's been two years since he left office and the C-SPAM Trump thread is still the highest traffic thread on the forums, for some insane reason, and its regulars are still addicted to posting nonsensical manglings of his name.

I mean, there was that arc about the underground civilization of sports mascots, so this isn't really *new* for Crabgrass, just kind of a codification of it being a thing that happens once in a while.

Green Intern posted:The coach thinks that players shouldn't drink water. I don't think he's very good at his job. This whole arc is reminding me of the football part of the original MASH film what with the characters' self-sabotaging incompetence. Unfortuntaely, I don't think we're going to get to see Archie say "alright bub, your fuckin head is coming right off".

My Lovely Horse posted:Makes perfect sense in Kelleyparkerworld. A lawyer is a successful respectable person who has Made It Through Hard Work and Has Money unlike the lazy youths, and simultaneously a lawyer siphons your hard earned cash because the law has you pay taxes and parking tickets and poo poo. Much like a doctor is a respectable person with money but he tells you you can't eat all the meat and donuts and you have to exercise. My prayer is that Kelley has suffered a near-fatal stroke and this is Parker seizing the opportunity to poo poo on the strip while still being vaguely Kelley-esque.

Safety Dance posted:If Tiffany wants to bone down on her roommate's boyfriend and blame it on her other roommate's proprietary tea blend, that's nobody's business but all the consenting adults in the room. It'd also be one of the most fascinating things to happen in the strip in decades, so I'm all for it.

Doomykins posted:These kinds strips are my least favorite Forths and make me agree with Transmodiar briefly. Let's get back to some character growth with grandma. They always feel like they're trying to capture the Achewood "magical realism" arcs but the general absurdity of Achewood's setting is what makes them work, and that just literally cannot translate over to the mostly grounded reality of Sally Forth. Schwarzwald posted:is... I see I got beaten to the Achewood references today. Dammit.

Also, the author/artist of foob has been documented as a good ol' 1970s style child abuser who once threw her toddler out in the freezing canadian winter and locked the door before her "guardian angel" told her to bring the child in from the multiple digits below zero weather.
