This is why I don't get on Zits case too much, there's just as many jokes at the parents expense as there are at Jeremy Even the one where he got on his mom's case about the text vs phone stuff read more as "parents just dont get it!!" and the end of the entire week of strips was presenting Jeremy like how the Mom is presented when Jeremy doesn't get it. Sometimes the "teens, am i right?!" jokes that fall flat read like the author heard a thing or had a thing happen to him and went "oh that'd make a good strip". Like he had his kid tell him about text etiquette and didn't get it, but it's the thing the teens do; "out of touch parents, am i right?!"

never in a million years did i think Demons of Baseball would end with planck in a vegetative state, the director dead from a heart attack and Maggie probably needing to be committed somewhere if we're being real

Mexikid has been such a delight but also man, makes me both nostalgic and sad about KMart I also remember liking KMart, of the stores to be dragged along to, and getting lunch at the little place some of them had in it. But my primary memories of KMart wind up being the ones where they were like, decaying. There was this one KMart that closed like 3 separate times, it was so depressing how dirty and empty and disarrayed it was and still selling some ridiculously old merchandise (loads of casette tapes, various out of print random toys, games from like the GBA era well after the GBA was dead....)

Some Guy TT posted:I'm at a bit of a crossroads in life, and something just recently occurred to me. I've been translating comics for this thread for a really long time. The Wandering Culinarian is the sixth one, or maybe seventh or eighth depending on whether you consider different eras of Chief/Boss Dharma to be the same comic. None of them have been commercially viable projects, which is to say, none of the companies officially translating Korean comics would take a second look at them. They're too mundane, too political, and require too much explanation for a general audience that's more interested in genre work. I think there's always going to be some audience for it, even if it's niche. You might have extra luck posting about this somewhere in ADTRW as well; even if some like Boss Dharma are more "this" wheel house I know the others like Demons of Baseball or Wandering Culinarian would definitely catch extra interest over there.

Echoing that I really liked Steeple but this ending just feels kinda mean, to both the cast and the people invested in it. Like seeing all the story ideas would be cute, if all those story ideas weren't immediate set ups that will by design never get pay off. I'd kind of like it better if it just suddenly ended at the end of last chapter instead. That also would be kind of unresolved, but there's something about resolving it and then causing a million more problems and leaving it at that, definitively.

riderchop posted:Classic Arlo and Janis (March 19, 2002) Oh I think I remember this from some binging this whole thing is the last mention of Ruth in the comic right? I remember feeling kind of sad about that, since she (& the rest of Gene's friends) was such a recurring character and just fell away. Typical for A+J's extended cast, just dropping them in & out & then out for good without any fanfare life goes on yadda yadda, but Ruth stood out for me a little more for whatever reason.

Safety Dance posted:Mexikid Stories has so far gotten a little dark but not Very Special Episode dark, so I'm more curious to see where this will go because it probably won't go where we're all worried it will. Yeah to be clear I don't think this is going to take that kind of swerve, since that'd be a really wild tone shift to contain in about 9 panels for a fairly serious event. I'm guessing it'll just be someone going "you can't spoil a single kid" and Pedro ragging on his brother for getting chekovs diarrhea as an end gag but drat Mrs Malone that's still really weird CannonFodder posted:ngl, the 64 crayon set was awesome as a kid. it's awesome for all ages everyone is bedazzled by the array of colors and shades and novelty crayon sharpener that barely worked!

PainterofCrap posted:I've had to explain this to more than a few of my (boomer) peers. I finally got it when the etymology was explained (yikes!) and Romani is in so many ways a better descriptor. Even these days I still see the occasional person (typically an increasingly-older millenial) who says it--or more specifically its related "ripped off" word-- and then go "wait what?' when its explained otherwise. Even if you're someone online it's still easy to just bypass the conversation on why it might be bad, especially if you grew up in the strangely-full-of-it 90s.

this isn't a value judgement on anyone-especially since the things a kid has access to *now* are very different from the 90s- but it is funny seeing posts effectively going "this was literally the exact timeline of me as a child, the nostalgia...." and "we're concerned about letting our kid use a tablet" one after another

I always get a chuckle at Uchida constantly mentioning her deadlines and how she can't make them due to medical issues but still needing to do them anyway. Truly, some things are universal.

Also re: WAR Husband From what we see he's pretty involved with his Kid's life (frequently taking him out on his own, playing with him, holding him when Mom's not around, etc) and handles him well enough. We know he seems fairly chill with her openness too (I had a chuckle at a little aside in one of the comments about one of her new boyfriends she was with while traveling), and still accepted the child as his own. The only real complaints she's made towards him was being useless at night. And even that felt more exaggerated because of the stressful situation she was talking about. I think for the most part he's just sidelined in these stories less because he's a lump and more because she understandably wants the focus to be on her & her kid, which is why the husband usually just shows up as a reaction shot, someone to bounce a set up off of, or for a joke aka what she does with all her many many many celebrity friends.

WAR's pretty good at showing the severity of the operation/situation Gets across the difference between vaguely assuming how it works vs experiencing/seeing (so to speak) how it works that she also clearly went through Smelling your own flesh burning probably does not endear you, a person already skiddish around hospitals, to the idea of more surgeries though
