Kennel posted:Into Ilves is soon reaching the end with the final strip coming in February. Aww, I'll definitely miss it, though I have to admit I've been finding the post-war strips somewhat harder to keep track of than the earlier ones. Powered Descent posted:Flash Gordon I love this, I am so glad this comic has started off so strong.

Huh, "not sure if he's evil or just unsettling on a genetic level" is how my 4th grade teacher described me. Anyways, I just wanted to say that despite it being a college strip, I'm enjoying Thorn, and similarly I'm enjoying Mousetrapped with the caveat of it's been running for less than a month and seems to be actually building a story, so I'm giving it time. If it still feels like it's in the setup phase in a couple months I'll bitch.

Fishylungs posted:Sky Master of the Space Force was a comic strip Kirby and Wally Wood worked on in Kirby's pre-Marvel/early DC days about a guy named Sky Masterson and his adventures in space. There's also a collection of the B&W dailies but it appears to be out of print and the strips themselves don't appear to be online anywhere. I heard about this Kickstarter and was considering trying to find it. I'd definitely be interested (but I also was enjoying Tom Corbett, so you know). Giant Ethicist posted:Bardiche Hotel I'll definitely miss it, it was delightful.

Murdstone posted:Mark Trail Jesus Christ, Mark, this is pretty basic information. For someone who writes for a nature/teen girl mag, he really kinda knows gently caress all, doesn't he? Murdstone posted:Mary Worth Jesus Christ, Keith, I was hoping we'd be done with this but I guess not. Murdstone posted:The Phantom Have we ever seen that? That could be interesting. Much more interesting than writing out old storylines from the '50s and going "wasn't that a thing that doesn't hold up in the modern day?" while gurning at the 4th wall.

Powered Descent posted:Challenge: everybody pick a comic that you're glad is being posted even though it doesn't get mentioned much! (We ALL have some low-key favorites.) That's a good shout. Scary Gary, Hagar, F Minus, Get Fuzzy, Pooch Cafe, Foxtrot I think are ones that I've been enjoying but haven't commented on much. I've appreciated lots of the old comics, but I don't think I've said much about Everyday Movies, which has been pretty delightful.

riderchop posted:Safe Havens So, my first thought was "why would the fillings reappear, shouldn't they fall out when the body changes since they're not actually part of the body?" but then that made me think about how this is all supposed to work and it just makes my head hurt. The ability to radically reform the human body is such an amazing advance in medical technology. Hell, she's already made herself practically immortal with mermaid DNA; she could basically be Dr. Quintum but instead she's Sauron wanting to turn people into dinosaurs.

Medenmath posted:Vintage Valiant (Apr. 08, 1962) Fun fact, if you read The Song of Roland, you quickly realise that Roland sucks and it's his fault everyone dies. My mum is very proud of her little bit of Basque heritage, and it amuses me to no end that in real life they're the ones who killed Roland (for entirely understandable reasons) and the chroniclers were just like "we'd rather claim it was the Saracens than admit it was those fuckers up in the hills."

Chicken Parmigiana posted:(I normally scroll past the ancient American comic strips because too often the old-timey ho-down gurpity-doo th' shucks n' fer gol' wal goober-berries — chee! — banter is nigh incomprehensible to me, especially when written in eye dialect. Sometimes I put the effort in but the humour is rarely worth it.) I deeply appreciate Hippocrass's historical comics post, but I have to admit that the only ones I consistently read are Polly and her Pals and The Gumps, plus occasionally Gasoline Alley when it seems more comprehensible to someone like me who knows jack poo poo about cars. Which, thinking about it, are the ones that don't have too much eye dialect in them, plus aren't the most densely packed compared to some others. I don't mind a bit of eye dialect, but I think I prefer it used with a bit of restraint.

Chicken Parmigiana posted:Oh, same, to be clear! I think there's value in it and I'm glad that stuff gets posted. It's just 'not for me', most of the time. Occasionally I'm in the right mindset and have the time to slow down and take some of it in. It's interesting, at the very least. Hard agree to both. I have trouble with Pogo, but when I can get into it, it's so good. Also, I didn't know about those TMBG songs, that's cool!
