I could be wrong, but I'm reading Diana's dialog as a weak shot at humor. Everything from the previous story happened, and the Phantom's dream is a new thing. I mean, really - who wakes up to their partner saying they just had a dream and then immediately assumes that they were having the exact same dream? She has to be making a joke.

Cowslips Warren posted:Okay not to bait the bear, but has Randy ever sexually harassed someone or redone some strip with religious/Trumpy overtones? I assume they meant "Gilchrist's obsession with lore and old characters plus tumbr politics" rather than "twee MAGA hat guy."

Cowslips Warren posted:are we sure this isn't AI? It is legit weird as gently caress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Blevins Bret Belvins is a real guy with a lot of comic book credits. I think he might just be getting on in years or bad at producing at a daily comic strip rate.

Cowslips Warren posted:if anything Josh would be promoted to assistant manager, and then manager at the next new opening, not because he is good at his job, but, Lesson of Life, he has sucked up to the DM and is a good simp to him. I might be misremembering the last run of Retail, but didn't Josh leave to go work at Delman's?

I suppose the good end of this plot is that he gets the results from the test and throws it away unread because he recognizes that family is more than DNA, etc. The bad ending is that he finds out she isn't his daughter, and we get six more months of this miserable story.

I get the feeling that the Steeple ending is a combo of Allison's habit of stopping and starting projects, plus a bit of disappointment over it getting dropped as a print comic. Getting into middle age and still feeling dependent on patreon instead of the "real" comics industry must be difficult.

Crab Dad posted:100% comics first Ace. I bet someone could squeeze an entire master's thesis out of comparing and contrasting Jughead and Wimpy. They both fill the roll of half sidekick - half comic foil. Yet Wimpy has had affairs with everyone up to and including the Sea Hag in a really non-sexual comic, while Jughead flees from girls in the horniest comic of the 1940s.

Green Intern posted:Are we gearing up to this guy falling down and breaking something else in the middle of the convention? Remember the last plot line with those two had one falling victim to an old person malady - then the other one doing the same thing. The lady probably slipped and broke her hip in the food court and we'll spend a week listening to them compare and contrast their his and hers motorized recliners.

Selachian posted:James Allen's departure from Mark Trail was most likely due to his using the official Mark Trail Twitter account to insult Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, although the syndicate didn't actually come out and say so. Although even before then he'd been showing way too much dependence on traced art, plus an inability to pace a story. The one thing I'll give the new Mark Trail is that it's not entirely clip art like the last iteration. Jules' art may be bad, but at least she's drawing it.

The_Other posted:Conan: The Blood Egg Part 1 One thing I really like about Allison is that - for as much as he likes writing about emo teens and mystery kids chasing skellingtons - if a story calls for a pile of corpses, he will deliver a pile of corpses.

I know the answer to why it's that way, but Blueberry's depiction of a fully metric old west always amuses me.

Raskolnikov38 posted:i'm just gonna ask, but does anyone actually want holbrook to be posted? on the individual comic level he's no oh baby but getting a shotgun blast of him everyday (backlog or no backlog all three of his comic strips are terrible) might make him worse on a quantitive level at least That's a really good question. I hate read every one of his strips, but they've been a presence in this thread for so long that I think I'd actually miss them if they were gone.

EndOfTheWorld posted:There has to be a reason beyond Thing/Thing Japanese that explains why I find Rose Is Rose so annoying but consider We Are Reproducing so drat cute We are Reproducing is mostly straight forward stories about normal things all toddlers do - it's easy to understand what's happening and match it to our own experiences. Even if you don't have a kid, you know what kids *are* and can match what's happening in the comic to that. RiR, on the other hand, is such a heightened and amplified version of family life that it's become grotesque and unrelatable. If you were around people who constantly gurned and grimaced like the characters in that strip, you would be terrified. If you knew someone who made a huge deal about eating the most slightly spicy type of chili pepper, you would find them unbearably tedious. The behavior of very character in that strip is like the protective coloring on a poisonous animal - you just know instinctively to avoid it.

Mister Olympus posted:okay but what's the rubber hose and lamp for They are interrogation cliches. First, you put someone under a lamp in a dark room, shining the light in their eyes to keep them disoriented and isolated. Then, you beat them with a rubber hose because it's painful but doesn't injure them enough to stop the interrogation.
