Rose is Rose is the funny pages equivalent of "Live Laugh Love" wall art, but there was some discussion late in the 2023 thread of of people wanting to see it again.

I've recently started posting Alley Oop which is a comedy strip about a time-traveling caveman and scientist, I like it - it's got Jay Ward/Rocky and Bullwinkle vibes but thread response is still uncertain.

Honestly this is the best Curtis Kwanzaa we've had in a while. It was simple, fun, not overly preachy, and the story/moral made sense which is better than Billingsley's "Twilight Zone" attempts of the past few years.

And now back to Curtis sucking.

Credit where it's due,I'm really liking the reveal/twist that Bets is loving miserable with all the stuff she gave up to be with boring-rear end Gunther, I hope this leads to a for-reals breakup.

Just gotta talk again about how good new Flash Gordon is, I love that callout of Flash's bravado both from the villain and his ally. It's such good characterization.

Endless Mike posted:

Yeah, I haven't actually read through it (beyond going ahead a couple days now and then) and I'm pretty surprised by this. I don't disagree with these thoughts at all, and it's not surprising that it didn't get picked up after he finished college and very surprising that Bone turns out to be as good as it is. In any case, I still think it's pretty interesting to see how he got there. I'm going to continue posting it until it's done, but definitely won't bother to repost in the future unless it gets really good later on. I will say the art is improving, at least.

Bone is one of my favorite books of all time, so I see Thorn as a rough draft and a curiousity but not much more. It's something that's nice to see a few pages of as a bonus feature in the back of an anthology, but not something I would seek out otherwise, and I think the reason is: It's not very good. However, by the standards of "college newspaper comic strip made by a 20-year-old sophomore", it's kind of impressive. But yeah, it's just Jeff Smith's experimentation station.


His Divine Shadow posted:

I've never read this guys previous comics (something positive?), only this and popeye and now I think I hate him and would probably his other comics too.

I also never read Something Positive, I listened to a podcast with Randy as guest recently. He seems like a good guy and I think I'd like his webcomic stuff in the Era of Webcomics, but I can't emphasize enough what a bad choice he is for Popeye. He manages to know every detail and minutia about the character's history but not understand what makes the strip good or what makes people like Popeye.

I'm not opposed to "Popeye has feelings" comics but the problem is that is all it loving ever is now. There's so much talk and depricating snark and nothing ever happens, and when it does happen, it's a lesson in how not to draw action. There's basically nothing of original Popeye in here. I think Mousetrapped is a little better because he's given more of a blank canvas but even there everyone is sort of wandering around aimlessly muttering about their emotions.

gently caress it, I'll say it: Randy Mulholland is tumblr smol bean Guy Gilchrist.

I love how Flash Gordon's key premise is "hey actually you can't just kill the emperor that was there a long-rear end and establish a new regime and expect everything to be hunky-dory in the meantime"

And it makes sense since whales don't wear clothes, so they are all considered wild and able to be hunted!

Logic, it's not just for Shockwave anymore.

Echoing the "TAKE YOUR BABY TO THE loving DOCTOR" for WAR, and holy poo poo I am surprised they ran this again in FOOB .

I think Lynn stopped monitoring the strips around the same time she gave up updating them to fit modern times, I would be shocked if she even knew which strip was running today. She just cash check, draw robot.

I kind of like the idea of a bad guy who does things that kind of work out well for everyone. Not like they have a change of heart and do the right thing in the end or anything, just whenever they attempt a scheme it works but in the best possible way for everyone.
