Pigsfeet on Rye posted:Brad was the pseudo vegan milf hunter That’s not what I meant. I know which character is named Brad. But Brad’s preëxisting role in the characters’ lives remains incomprehensible. This whole story has been such utter dog poo poo. Even the dialogue is clunkier than usual. Mary Worth stinks but usually not this badly.

Haifisch posted:Computoon: Origins I have been watching these 'Computoon: Origins' posts with keen interest, hoping to see how it got from a bad but comprehensible gag panel strip to the incoherent digital palimpsest that drives men mad we know and love today. Over the most recently posted few strips, I've been sensing that we might be at the beginning of that transition. Today's is actually a little less disconcerting — although, what is "a flat view of the world", exactly? And this book, Internet World Travels: what is that? What does Boyce imagine its contents to be? But there's a joke there, just a joke that depends on non-existent idioms, books, and activities to work. It can be hard to tell if Boyce is losing his grip on reality, since even at his most intelligible, he never understood the subject of his work to begin with. (And was never a great artist.) But again: a few times recently I've been getting hints of that "Are you OK, Charles?" feeling. Not all the time, but I feel like he has begun to faintly hear the scratching in the walls, now and then. Is it just me? I mean, on the one hand, there was this one: Haifisch posted:Computoon: Origins That's actually funny! You have to imagine a world in which there are 'Electronic Christmas Trees' pop-up shops, and what they call an electronic Christmas tree is a complete desktop computer that happens to be displaying a picture of a Christmas tree at the moment. And yes, these computers are scattered randomly across the open ground, as if growing there in a little grove of computers. But they are computers nonetheless and not to be felled with axes! We understand all this and sympathise with the weary, middle-aged electronic Christmas tree seller who's seen it all before. But on the other hand... Haifisch posted:Computoon: Origins OK, so... OK. Maybe the joke is, "Those guys at the front office! So full of hot air! And we get faxes from them sometimes during our meetings. And we can tell that they changed from hot air — literal hot air, now, not figurative, that's the joke — to helium, because their helium-filled faxes are making our fax machine float!" Except: hot air also floats. That is indeed why helium might be substituted for it. So... didn't the fax machine always float? If so, why the surprise? Can this guy really tell the difference between floating caused by hot air and floating caused by helium?? Also: surely Boyce is thinking of 'head office' — those know-nothing fat cats upstairs — not 'the front office', as the obvious target for this kind of gag. Also, and worse: if that fax machine is 'For Front Office Use Only', why is it here, in the meeting room where clearly Front Office isn't? Unless this is Front Office, in which case, why is the guy saying "the front office" and not "we"? Unless he is visiting Front Office for this meeting with them — but if this is Front Office, the joke ("Ho ho, those guys are so full of hot air!") doesn't work at all. Why would they receive a fax from themselves? Unless they're sending a fax, in which case we are to understand that either literal hot air or literal helium is used somehow by this fax machine when in operation, and figurative 'hot air' has nothing to do with the situation, in which case there is no joke, and this is just mad nonsense, but mad nonsense that deceptively resembles a joke. You see what I mean? There is the sense of a joke in this one, but it simply disintegrates if you try to 'get' it. And then there's... Haifisch posted:Computoon: Origins What? What??? I know better than to try to unravel this one. This is an early glimpse, I believe, of the Compu-Toon Abyss; the sanity-destroying, Lovecraftian madness that is to come.

Mary Worth Presents: Big Keef Dribin' Another work sketch of the thread's favourite leg of ham/sociopath, but I worked it up into a 'real' drawing this time. (Slightly larger version) Also I just peeked at today's Sunday strip and ohhhhhhh boy.

Thanks for liking my drawing, thread! I might just work my prior Keef sketch into a proper one too, and then chuck them up on Redbubble or make a little postcard set for my Ko-fi shop or something.Murdstone posted:Mary Worth This is such a hosed-up, nightmarish "happy ending", and the last line is just rubbing salt into the wound. "Who says you can't choose your family?" Well, apparently you can choose yours, Keith: you can just con your way into stealing one that suits you. But you're not allowing these women to choose theirs — particularly Sonia, whom you only met in the first place because she wanted to meet her biological father. "Kitty kept some things from me..." Oh she did huh. Motherfucker. And the way he just gets out of his blood-soaked vroom-vroom and stands there, while Kitty and Sonia — having been waiting expectantly all day, unable to focus on their cooking and homemaking — rush out of the house to fling themselves into his strong manly arms, as if he's just got back from serving consecutive tours in Afghanistan... If it were any other comic, or movie or book, this would be an obvious fantasy sequence: the audience would realise that Keith crashed his car (the red colour is a subconscious hint, not just a mistake) and is now dying or in a coma, a moment before the scene changes to a hospital room showing exactly that. Particularly the way Sonia is apparently an eight-year-old who needs her daddy, now, rather than a grown adult. But this is Mary Worth and so this is actually it. This is what's really happening, and it's good! Keith is a good guy and good things are happening to him and this makes us feel happy. Jesus christ, it's so thoroughly loving sick. Folks, there's some sick poo poo in the funny pages nowadays.

Haifisch posted:Computoon: Origins Ballard Street vibes from an actually lucid and amusing Compu-Toon! Anyway, I mentioned that — ahem — I might work an earlier Keef sketch into another full drawing. You might remember the meat patriot nobly sulking his way home after being cock-blocked by Jughead. It seems so long ago now, and it was.  (a little bigger) (one of my websites, cough cough ahem) As usual I got a bit carried away and ended up putting in more effort than intended, though I won't say "too much" because I'm happy with the result. The full resolution is only my ipad's screen size though, which means big prints in high quality aren't possible, but I'll at least try to make a Keef postcard set and/or mini-print at some point and put it/them in my ko-fi shop.

riderchop posted:Compu-toon This one made me laugh, after some time. Not because I finally got the joke, but because I felt myself going a bit crazy and had to either laugh at myself or have a lie down. LvK posted:1981 Nancy is low-key one of my favorite strips in the thread. It's absolutely god-awful bad, but it's still clinging to the conventions of what made a joke in the 30s, so it routinely fails to tell a joke while also vaguely appropriating the images of an actual joke. It feels like when people set up the AI to make infinite Seinfield or The Simpsons scripts from pre-existing data, except it's real people, presumably cashing in real paychecks around a senile ghost of a cartoonist. Maxwell Lord posted:It's trying to be Bushmiller Nancy but is sloppier about it so nothing hits very well. I wasn't sure what you guys were talking about because I thought, "Surely 1981 Nancy is Bushmiller Nancy...?" But apparently he had Parkinson's at this point and was being assisted by a couple of other artists: Al Plastino and Mark Lasky, who would succeed the strip officially (though briefly) following Bushmiller's death in 1982. Sorry if I'm just repeating lore that is well-known to the thread, but I figured if I missed it, maybe someone else did too. Did anyone ever speak publicly about the degree and nature of the 'assistance' that was happening during those last few years?
