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 has its dips -- not every story arc is a masterpiece and like any comic from the 50s it has its ugly moments -- but it's so excellent so frequently that it's hard not to have a high opinion of it.

Tiggum posted:This is at least the second time this "joke" has come up; what the gently caress does Kelley think teenage girls are doing that's using so much data? It's a modern take on the "teenage girls rack up the phonebill talking to friends" joke from the 80s / 90s. It absolutely does not land in an era where most of a families data usage is going to come from Netflix.

EasyEW posted:If the signature says Art Young, we must be going back to Hell: Art was put on the witness stand to explain his sin of sedition. In his inimitable way he stated that he did not think revolutions were such terrible things. He said that the boys of Lexington and Concord had the right idea, and that the peasant uprisings of the Middle Ages were pretty well justified despite their lacking the benefit of clergy. Shortly after that he was cross-examined by the United States Attorney: Q. Now, Mr. Young, you have told us a good deal about your beliefs in revolution and that you believe that the American Revolution was justified, but, Mr. Young, do you believe in the theory of class-struggle. Art looked at him blankly, then, very quietly: A. Mr. Barnes, do you believe in the measles? (Laughter. Pounding of the gavel by the Judge.) Art, sotto voce, added: You don't have to believe in them if you've got them. - Charles Recht, Art Young: An America, from the Fantagraph's edition of Art Young's Infernal

BigglesSWE posted:Luann is about as sheepish as she can be around boys until the plot determines that she has to be extremely confident to create conflict. Luann is low key one of the hornier comics in this thread, it just doesn't have any real concept of eroticism or sex.

Julet Esqu posted:Personally, I found it shocking when Luann decided she was going to write a novel about what a hot hunky slab of beef her brother is, but maybe that kind of thing is just normal in her family. Isn't Luann in a pseudo-contentious relationship with her rich and distant father, or am I confusing her with another character?

Malachite_Dragon posted:At some point though, Grandma needs to say what the hell it is she wants. This whole cycle of 'be an rear end in a top hat to my kids -> my kids don't want to talk to me -> be even more of an rear end in a top hat -> repeat' is not on them to break. Grandma is an rear end in a top hat who's failure to communicate is the source of all her problems, absolutely no question there. (And moreover, is almost certainly some of her chickens coming home to roost.) All that aside, stealing someone's furniture is, uh, loving theft, and is probably the single worse action either has taken in this recent string of comics. (This is not a criticism of the comic. I am entertained.)

Bimmi posted:One thing that really chaps my rear end about all modern iterations of Popeye is how these lazy hack writers have decided that Popeye always TALKSK LIKESK THISK, which was never actually true and ignores the rich humor of mangled language so effortlessly employed in the classic strips. Given how Milholland loves to indulge in Sailorpedia wankery, I’m surprised he hasn’t been more aware of this. The fact is that 99.9% of the reading audience is going to know Popeye exclusively from the old cartoons (or parodies of those cartoons) and he does talk like that in those.
