Why isn't the host club guy who has a crush on her at Rie's party. What the gently caress.

[quote="Giant Ethicist" post="539120144"] We Are Reproducing  We babysat my sister's friend's kids once - they were like 6 & 4 or 5 & 7. The youngest one had the older one pinned down, was tickling her. As I was hustling over to break it up, the older one yells "SOMEBODY MAKE IT STOP"... and got me laughing too hard to move

Fastrack, Inc funded the original. Mars Mission, so I assumed that they were sending the resupplies...for some reason. Though I guess taxpayers did foot the bill for rescuing the Mars Crew with a refurbished space shuttle when the Mars Crew lost their spacecraft (and all existing samples of an untainted Mars) through their own incompetence in low earth orbit, because this setting where a company can (almost) successfully pull off a two-year Mars mission in a spacecraft with an interior the size of a small apartment building, no other options exist to get extra people off the ISS. And yeah, my vote is for keeping the Holbrook comics.

MockingQuantum posted:I'm absolutely of the opinion that copyright law on a whole lot of stuff is hosed and there's no real excuse for companies to hold on to legacy trademarks for stuff that's now older than most people alive on the planet, but also it's hard to feel like Allison isn't asking for a fight sometimes. I just don't get what's in his head sometimes, as a creator. IMO Steeple was the best thing he's done in a long time and he just kinda said "nah, gently caress that, I'm done with it", which was just baffling to me. He gave up on Steeple after it failed as a print comic, right? Someone who wants to make it in paper comics needs to be more sensitive to copyright, even if it is BS. Sorta feels like he's throwing a fit. Keep or post Holbrooks, I don't read them, I will stop and read one or two a month when they're quoted with an especially shocked reaction, but I do not care.

So I read the Olive Oyl comic when it pops up but like..I don't remember if we ever heard about how Olive got these powers, she just kind of..suddenly was in a comic where she could see ghosts now as far as I remember. Also I'm very glad for WAR baby growing up and for Rie's bday party. I missed Haraiso Days

I'm mostly a lurker so maybe this is hypocritical to say, but I'm of the opinion of "post more comics, not less", unless there's something truly heinous about it. I don't like Holbrook but he's like the living embodiment of the "X goes brrr" meme, which is sort of funny in it's own way. I do wish he'd think twice before tackling sensitive issues like queerness, but I'll take a "well-meaning idiot" than "actively hateful" like, say, Dustin. That being said, I don't actually read the backlog Vox posts (sorry!) just because I find walls of comics kind of tedious to get through. Anyways, just my two cents. I'm appreciative of everyone who takes time to post comics, whether I like them or not.

I don't think it's good when hateful or just plain disgusting comics get posted here (getting rid of Dilbert and mceldowney were objectively correct moves, for examples), but Holbrook is merely unfathomably stupid, and that's fine imo

Holbrook seems a lot like the people who mean well but have no idea how offensive/stupid they can be. They got heart but no brains. I will still take that any day over the Dustin fuckers who are actively horrible with all intent to be that way.

Kazinsal posted:I'm not gonna lie, it's baffling that there's more demand for Holbrook to stop being posted when the thread also has Dustin, a hack comic strip written by a no poo poo far right political cartoonist, and that doesn't get nearly as much genuine "this comic is poo poo and shouldn't be posted". I would very much prefer Dustin get the boot over Holbrook, yeah. Holbrook is a loving disaster, but its like watching a never-ending train wreck, I can't look away and I am morbidly fascinated by everything Holbrook does wrong both by accident and on purpose. E: Batiuk, on the other hand, can take a long walk off a short pier. Why does HIS poo poo keep getting posted but Holbrook is an issue?

Synthbuttrange posted:god. well. okay. see, if it maintained this kind of plot, it would be a lot closer to the original. but what it's missing--why people have the "god. well. okay." reaction to it--is that neo-popeye characters behave like normal people in the face of grand weirdness, as opposed to either arbitrarily violent, unflappable, or comically cowardly. they aren't enough like cartoon characters for the kind of character that popeye and olive should be. and also wimpy didn't gently caress any of the ghosts as far as i know, which is quite out of character for wimpy as we know him
