Previous >>151322103Last time, characters like Roland and Livinia disappeared, ones like Nate Green were introduced and Westview finally got its name. Today will cover 1978.
That closes out this year. Next time is 1979 where Rita, the last of the early Act I holdouts, disappears. Batiuk also begins doing some longer storylines when Fred runs in the Boston Marathon and the teachers go on strike once again.
>>151369793I'm not sure of the reasoning but I assume in the late '70s Funky was doing well so it was decided to give John Darling a spinoff series. By the end of the '80s though things were going a bit sideways. Batiuk was in a dispute with his syndicate over ownership of the characters and was burned out from doing three strips simultaneously (Funky, Darling and Crankshaft although Funky was the only one he was also drawing). He'd also just had the artist leave (the second one on the strip) and didn't feel like having to find a new one. Darling was dropping in circulation and he had an out clause for it that said he could get out of his contract for that strip if it dropped below a certain number. It had so in 1990 he decided to end the strip but do it in a way that would make the entire thing unusable by suddenly having John get shot and killed.That was basically the end of it until 1997 when he decided to revisit the death of John Darling in Funky by having Les write a book about it which leads to the murderer (unseen originally) revealed. After that John's daughter Jessica would be added as a character in Funky as part of the same Westview class that included Darin Fairgood and Pete Roberts, eventually as an extremely minor character until just before the second timeskip where she begins dating Darin and becomes a more important character from then on.
That also gives me an excuse to go into the frankly absurd and weird family tree/connectios that exist in the Funkyverse. I'll put these in spoilers just to be safe because, well, there are spoilers.You have Ed Crankshaft, the surly bus driver who lives in Centerville. His daughter is Pam Murdoch who is married to Jeff Murdoch. Pam and Jeff have two children: Max and Mindy Murdoch. Jeff's sister is Jan Darling, wife of John Darling and mother of Jessica Darling.Reed Roberts, John's boss, is the father of Pete Roberts and Aly Roberts; Pete and Aly's parents are divorced and they live with their mother.Lisa Crawford dates Les Moore for a bit, transfers schools, gets pregnant and has a kid. Fred Fairgood and Ann Randall eventually get married. Lisa has her kid and puts it up for adoption. Fred and Ann adopt the kid, not knowing who the mother is, and name him Darin. Lisa eventually marries Les and they have a daughter named Summer.Darin, Pete and Jessica are in the same class. Darin and Jessica eventually date and then during the timeskip are married. Pete is currently engaged to Mindy Murdoch. After Lisa dies, Les eventually marries Cayla Williams so Cayla's daughter Keisha and Les's daughter Summer become step-sisters. Cayla is the daughter of baseball player Smokey Williams, a character who Crankshaft mentored in his own strip in the late '90s/early 2000s.The following families are all tied together in some way now: Crankshafts, Murdochs, Fairgoods, Crawfords, Moores and Williamses.
>>151370048The idea of a goofy side character getting his own spinoff that ends with him getting shot and killed makes me excited to see how the main strip goes off the rails

>>151370158Comics have smaller print runs today because fewer people buy monthly issues, they’re limited to specialty shops, many readers wait for trades or digital, publishers avoid overprinting, but yeah, scarcity definitely boosts that old collector appeal.

https://www.cartoonbrew.com/rip/dan-mcgrath-the-simpsons-writer-producer-dies-61-256776.html>Dan McGrath, a prolific and widely admired animation writer and producer, died on November 14 at the age of 61 following a stroke.>Over more than three decades in television, he brought a distinctive blend of intelligence, absurdity, and emotional nuance to some of the medium’s most influential animated series, including working on several of The Simpsons‘ most memorable episodes.>McGrath began his TV career at NBC’s Saturday Night Live in 1991, a writing stint that quickly established him as a sharp, often fearless writer with an instinct for the collaborative writing style of the sketch comedy show. His work at the show earned him an Emmy nomination and opened the door to a decades-long career.>He joined The Simpsons in 1992 and became a major contributor during one of the series’ most celebrated eras. Between 1992 and 1994, he was a story editor and writer on dozens of episodes, and later produced two full seasons of the show. His writing and producing work helped shape iconic episodes and gags, including segments that remain staples of the show’s enduring legacy. In 1997, he won the Emmy for outstanding animated program for his work on the Season 8 episode “Homer’s Phobia,” which became one of the series’ most acclaimed entries for its, at the time, revolutionary inclusion of an openly gay character. It was almost two decades later before Smithers finally officially came out.

>>151368255>Lucy is legitimately fucking insaneIf Lucy didnt like Mike talking to sabdy she coulda always told him to stop. But that would require her being honest with what she wants
>>151369102It would still be pretty shitty in that situation if she is still playing the retarded hot and cold game>No I don't want to be with you! Please go away!>Okay I'll just go the->Oh and you aren't allowed to send mail to that other girl either!>Wait what? Why!?>Because that's emotional cheating!>But you just said you don't want to be with me. What you want me to just be with nobody?>Yes.>What the fuck?
>>151369492Well yeah but it's better if Mike understood Lucy was always batshit vs believing she had any good. I cannot imagine a way young Lucy could go about this.>" You shouldn't be talking to her.">"Uh, why?"Any answer she did either has to make her drop her hot and cold cause saying >Because that's emotional cheating!Won't work since they aren't in any romantic relationship. Lucy cannot even say it's emotional cheating cause by that logic Nike has been fucking everyone emotionally by that point. Lucy cabt even claim it's BSS since those guys usually don't actively and repeatedly reject the object of affection.Lucy doing hot and cold but asking Mike to stop would make him double down in spite. December might happen earlier if she pushed like that for no reason.
>>151369624>Because you're all I have!>O-ok? Then if I'm so important to you can you treat me more nicely?>NO! Don't ask anything of me!>So you don't want me... but you don't want me away... but also won't give me a good reason for staying?>Yes! How is that so hard to understand you jerkface!?
>The Last Ronin, another TMNT live-action/CG animation hybrid project that was in development, has been put back in the pizza box, according to sources. That project was being developed as an R-rated feature, and had Nobody filmmaker Ilya Naishuller in talks to direct, but the new regime wasn’t keen on having the first non-animated movie in 10 years be a bloody, adult-skewing story. >Multiple sources say Paramount wants to “Sonic-fy” the TMNT franchise.https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-new-live-action-movie-1236431867/
>>151369690>and they're still having trouble getting a sequel to that one off the ground.S'amatter, Tom Cruise too picky?
How would you guys describe the state of the franchise right now? I thought things were looking up with Shredder's Revenge, but I guess that was a fluke.
>>151370041The MM sequel movie is still gonna move forward, so lets support that and hope for the best
>>151370146supporting garbage movies doesn't help the franchise, they'll just make more garbage
>>151369690Rogen's contract is probably airtight and allows him to be locked in for at least that next movie, but it very much sounds like Paramount is trying very hard to re-established TMNT as one of its big IPs that will print a billion in merch sales like it used to. The MM Tales series is dead after this next season and there's no more games and only a few comics due out for it. The TLR sequel is flagging in sales too. Jason Aaron's epic overhyped TMNT relaunch with IDW did so badly that they've already replaced him and are trying, yet again, to rebuild hype for yet another new author.I expect them to wipe the slate clean in the next year or so, maybe the cite some creative problems with MM2 and quietly shelf it or maybe release it direct to streaming. They're going to make the classic blunder though, and rush into a new series and new movies way too soon after the previous version, and people just won't show up for it.

>>151357883>black features.Not to dogpile on this anon and spoil the mood, but this "black features" argument reeks of something that could blow up in very nasty ways. One, it inadvertently discriminates against Blacks who don't look "black enough." That issue is already a recurring one in the Black community to begin with. Two, it could also unintentionally play into a slight stereotyping issue already present in several American TV commercials, movies, TV shows, comics, and video games from the past couple years--seeing the same few following hairstyles being spammed over and over and over again ad nauseam:>Afros in different sizes >>151356561 >This particular hairstyle >>151358811>This particular hairstyle in pic relatedLast time I checked, there's more to being "Black" than having "black features" and there's more to Black hairstyles than just afros and those two seemingly recent hairstyles. Personally, I'm not too fond of those hairstyles, but at the same time I am NOT knocking people who choose to wear those hairstyles, either. But when several ad agencies and entertainment companies keep doubling down on depicting Blacks with those same few hairstyles, those companies are unironically pigeonholing Blacks into ONLY being depicted with those few specific hairstyles while also exploiting those hairstyles as part of some cheap marketing gimmick.
Is it just me, or is this show kinda gay?
>>151365697Legendary set
>>151367883They have no sense of nuance or understanding of how to actually describe stuff outside of buzzwords they heard from the internet
>>151344698Can you imagine having Luz Nogeda as your son? A chopped Afro-Latinx who grew up with a single obese geriatric Black mom in piss-poor Section 8 housing. Xhe transitions into a man at the end of the series from the trauma of growing up being fatherless, very subtle, Dykena. Luz grew up to be an unlikable, callous piece of shit and a straight-up Mary Sue, who thinks all the problems (that he caused) that made him unlikable to his human's friends aren't his fault because he dindu nuffin. He has no job and provides zero contribution to society. Luz is worthless, has no skill, and has a non-STEM-education liberal arts degree, and instead of getting a real job, he would rather spend his pathetic life LARPing like a retard in some fantasy world. Luz's entire existence is a stereotype of an actual ghetto trash bum who will either end up shot dead drug dealing or, at best, working as a toilet cleaner at McDonald's in real life.Meanwhile, a cute Thai tomboy girl that /co/ loves grew up to be a mature and even hotter woman who accepts her feminine appeal. Becoming a professor with a master's degree and a high-paying job. She still connects with her best friends, but the three of them know that they're all adults with actual RESPONSIBILITIES, which is something that Luz will never learn. So I thank Matt Braly for making a better show that everyone loves than the garbage Owl House that no one likes. Only Owl House faggots unironically think their shitty canceled show has a good ending. I don't think this show has any fans left lol.
Imagine having some schizo losing his shit over a show for kids as your child
