Ground floor with my comics av back

I got terminally behind last year but I'm here from the start this year - perhaps I shall repost The Bus and The Creeps

Somebody's currently reposting The Creeps, actually! It'd be nice to see The Bus again, though.

Also why isn't there a link to this thread at the end of the last thread?

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.

but it'd work best if you (or somebody else) can explain the now very-not-topical references it made all the time.

If they aren't smart enough to connect the dots of "literally everyone who has tried to gently caress with his family has failed", they're not smart enough to heed the warnings of the proverbial last survivor. "Y'all were stupid; my plan, to catch him in a tiny net, will work for sure!"

Yeah, but how are they gonna recognize him? I don't think these guys have much contact with Thule or the Misty Isles or Arthur's court. He doesn't have the rep HERE, which is precisely why he needs to let one or two guys go occasionally.

(what's the difference between "plain" and "vanilla"...?)

Vanilla is vanilla-flavored.

Clearly Nekonaughey just bought a big tub of unflavored ice cream.

Every strip ends with "Interesting things will happen soon you just wait!"

It's been like four strips, they're still setting thigns up!

... I get the feeling they really should've waited to launch it until they were ready to go at the full schedule.

I'm just impressed that Hagar ever conveyed actual slapstick humour in motion. Tragic to see how even the most lifeless zombie strip once was a work of enthusiasm.

Hm, maybe it'd be worth a Hagar From Zero thing if anybody has a suitable source.

At the risk of starting a derail, isn't a hoagie just a sandwich on long bread, same as a sub? Is this some lexical thing where in a random neighborhood the term refers to a foodstuff that is only a sandwich in theory because it's open-faced on half a loaf or something?

The bread isn't fully separated into upper and lower parts in a hoagie or sub but I think you're missing the actual joke: subdivision

This Solver story is pacing better than the last few, though maybe it is benefitting from their set up.

Hah, thanks. I am up to daily griping though. If I'm the only dedicated reader with my daily "spot the errors" hate read then I wouldn't mind it if vanished, not enough to seek it myself. It's entertaining because it's so openly lazy and we're like two years into it now, it's not getting better and we've got the third low effort Cricket story coming in.

We just had that nice Georgia Dunn twitter thread about how many old zombie strips steal real estate on the paper and Mark Trail should've died with Jamsallen. Jules could probably make something decent if she put her heart into it(the first week of Trail strips was really nice) but by now she's just cynically locking down a paycheck and submitting naked rough draft sketches and so on.

Mark Trail should've died with Jackelrod, really.

TBQH, we�ve entered book 3 of 3 here (with the establishment of Lulu Yeah) and things continue to slip into a more and more narrative and less and less gag-oriented space as we go on.

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.

That was more ambiguous, though. Somebody tried to go back to it and it wasn't there, and such.

I guess now we know it definitely happened, though.

Fingerpori

SDP is a Finnish political party, and prior to parliamentary elections all the parties have these little stands everywhere and their barkers try to get you to engage and pick out a candidate, or to remind you of your candidate's voting number if you already have one.

And the other guy is the notorious pervert in Fingerpori and there is a humorous misunderstanding.

Voting number?

Something about strip poker in the bath?
But the wife keeps winning, so she wouldn't have to take any clothes off anyway?
And if she keeps winning, why is the husband fully clothed?

They're playing normal poker, and despite not having anywhere to possibly hide cards, Arlo thinks his wife is cheating.

No, late 60s / early 70s, so I guess the comic is thirty years too soon

Yeah, and it's one of the "remember 30 years ago? didn't that poo poo loving suck?" comics, so the events being shown are happening in roughly 1911.

It's kinda wild that these doofuses were still doing the whole horse cavalry thing in 1941. Like what the gently caress are you going to do on your horses in the 40s?

No, read the caption. That's events from 1911.

I missed a couple threads and last I knew, Wilbur died from going overboard a cruise ship or something. And here I thought the strip was free from him.

No he washed up on what turned out to be an inhabited island and didn't, like, contact anybody until he turned up back in santa royale.

That was unexpected and also stupid.

I'd like to remind everybody that Rene explicitly told us he wasn't doing anything illegal this time. And yet here he is, resorting to (attempted) murder.

Also wait are Val and the other guy burying that lady inside her house?
