Tomorrow, April 1st, marks 20 years since The Baby-Sitters Club (1986-2000) went from youth novels to graphic novels (2006-onward), which have arguably been more popular than the originals.To celebrate (doing it today cuz I know this site celebrates April Fools), I'm doing a storytime of that original comic. The first four were done by none other than one of the great modern cartoonists, Raina Telgemeier, best known for Smile and Drama. Not to mention September, we're finally getting a FIFTH Raina BSC comic!I'm excited to share this with you!
>>153042482Which volume is this from? I also like Dawn, the sexy blonde California girl with those ear piercings. And the next graphic novel is going to be all about Dawn in California. Dawn really isn't as memorable as Kristy, Mary-Anne, Claudia, or Stacy though. I don't remember much that she actually did from the comics.
>>153036914Man this takes me back
>>153036914I was fucking obsessed with these books back when I was in the age range. Looking back on it I'm not sure why, since it's not like I liked kids or anything. But I had a shelf full of them and would read them over and over.
>>153042823In the books she was a crazy eco-girl (I remember her getting pissy about individually-wrapped candy once) and...uh...had some arguments with Mary Anne once they became stepsisters?
>>153036926I know the original deal was for Raina to do 4 volumes but seeing how the gap between the last book she did (printed in 2008) and the relaunch in 2015, I think it's fairly safe to assume her hitting it big with Smile was what influenced the reprints and follow-ups even if she wasn't the artist anymore
Can we have a Dan Haskett thread?Post his art
>>153044366Hu?
Cute art
Was Cartoon Network popular in your country?Pic related, in Taiwan cartoon Network was/is very popular and we got all the same cartoons Americans got. We even have a cartoon network hotel and high speed train.
>>153043746In Chile Adult Swim is included on most basic packs (even moreso now that most TVs went full digital with WiFi rather than actual cable), no idea which cable providers have it for Argentina
>>153042444Based
>>153042298Just like the other latinos itt said, it was pretty big yeah. It was, kids obviously don't care and only nostalgia reminds people that it exists
>>153043680>Adult Swim Latam is doing better than Cartoon Network Latam now in terms of ratingsWhat do they air on LATAM AS?
>>153042298Yeah it was/is/sort of still is. I distinctly remember going to a live Chowder show in the park as a kid. I don't know if they still sell these, but when WBB was still running and i had cable they always sold a ton of We Bare Bears themed merch.
He's a very simple character. One of the earliest things established by his own creator is that he has no interest in romance or getting together with girls. Even his old concept documents show him being disgusted at being kissed, but American writers love changing this aspect of the character to make him a typical standard "teen boy" hero.
>>153033077the jap voice ruins the original anime.
>>153034090How does that not make him a good person or evil? Is Toriyama retarded?
>>153042835He wasn't a bad person or evil. He's just a dumbass who loves to fight.
>>153034226That's because it's not there. Maybe you're just a bad writer Toriyama.
>>153040887Unless you're a bodybuilder who?

Reminder that Carol has used Kamala's ass, pussy and mouth numerous times with multiple large sex toys.
See you for storytime
>>153041696>Energy powers with the OG costumeBut I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder
>even in a public setting where people always force reactions, no one laughed
>>153042485Was Regular Show ever really laugh out loud funny though?
>>153042485You watching the Mario movie or something?
What even was that clip? The live action was so random
Ohh, this was at the panel. Took me a while.
>>153042645not really, usually at the climax of the episodeyou're not supposed to laugh at this one minute long scene, you're supposed to just go eyyy it's those two again
NEED MORE COFFEENEED MORE MARGARET
>>153034940The space season ruined it for me, not even the love arcs were so annoying
>>153038408I would guess an iPhone. Eileen would probably have an Android.
>>153042027More like what she says to you after blowing a load into her mouth
cj was better and more likely to get weird in bed.
>>153024291People come in and out of each other's lives. You laugh a little, you cry a little, you realize she wasn't the one, and it didn't kill you.Now what they did with CJ, that's a whole 'nother ballgame.
These three guest star in the last show you've watched. What happens?
>>153040880Watched this again
>>153040880They’re soooo cute
>>153040880They fight against wizards for a secret council of animals.
>>153040880Garfield was very tame. I was thinking in ren and stimpy and i don't think they'll actually stay too long and if it was the adult party, the episode ren seek helps, ha hah ha just silently crying from shame.
>>153043529Garfield was super edgy for its day, which obviously isn't saying anything. The very fact that it had these characters and dared to make fun of them..
Does anyone care about Calvin and Hobbes anymore?
>>153041126>>153043608I'm sorry you never got that official Hobbes plush you wanted, Anon
>>153043907Really showcases the range that old school comic artists had, because they were properly taught from a school that actually wished to teach. Nowadays you get to watch a comic artist's work regress in real time.
I rather admire Calvin as a character written as a bit of a loner who isnt good at most things involving other people, yet Watterson had the restraint not to give him any rudolf the reindeer bullshit where "he's actually a talented artist/genius just like the author is and when it matters people will recognize that." Calvin makes witty remarks to Hobbes and is a mouthpiece for the author a lot, but nobody in the strip is ever impressed or humbled by it. It never helps him in school. There's a focus on imagination and creativity but it isnt something that makes Calvin's problems go away, more often than not his creativity is the route he takes to make the situation worse for himself. I just think that theres too much media that depicts people who dont fit in as actually being better than everyone, and I think that Calvin is just a prickly kid who actively makes things worse for himself in a pretty realistic way. There's also something interesting going on with the intersection of wide open fields and forests in the comic, with a very specific, inescapable suburbia Calvin & Hobbes exist in that is hyperspecific to the midwest. It's really interesting.
>>153044317Nowadays he'd have teachers telling him that he's autistic, has ADHD, or he's neurodivergent, instead of just what he actually is: A kid
>>153044317I can't remember the specific strips but there are the moment where the "voice of reason" authorities in Calvin's life sympathize with his position. His parents and Susie do have those moments where they try and understand him and he's actually open and honest about it. Or they're just envious about him being a kid still.This is somewhat not relevant but there's that time where he thinks he's lost Hobbes, who was just in the wash, but his parents don't belittle him for his panic.The Berkley Breathed series of comics about retuning Hobbes to an adult Calvin concludes without a single line from Calvin but shows that he found his way - and he pulled a win without really compromising the creativity he had as a kid.
What sides would Stella and Stolas simps be on if their sexes were flipped and how would the discourse change?
>>153044192Yeah but life happened. I needed to become omnipotent. To be everywhere. Except next to her.
Whats the chance this is official and not just a 1st of april prank?
I have never, ever, understood yuri/lesbian fags. It's not like you are self inserting with straight stuff as watching the action, your the guy balls deep in the girl. So do lesbian/yuri fags self insert as one of the women? That's the only other option other than watching which sounds a bit cucked.
>I.M.P.'s next contract is to kill pic relatedHow badly does it go?
How different would the show have been if Connie was a boy?
>>153019761I need more! Either a facial or taking a pounding. Is there a place where I can follow for more or this?
>>153040901>>153037823>>153037111
I remember looking through this as a kid at a friends house and really enjoyed the artwork and the vibeIs it worth buying a collected edition?
>>153033148>Is it worth buying a collected edition? sure why not
>>153033148He should team up with Magnus.
>>153033148I guess
>>153036737Crazy
>>153043681Yeah, tbf the reverse is also true in American Cape comics
Does all lesbian sex involve musicial dance numbers?
>>153043411Well it is official merch, so I'd say onesie Vox is canon.So true, he needs his body, like what am I supposed to hug? And let him stay buff, I'm begging Vivzie..Velvette designed such a cute outfit for him too and he's just a VoxPad. Val locks him in a cage, puts him on mute and poor Vox is just there, with his thoughts, unable to move or speak for days. Godd I hate that thought... that's enough of a punishment for him!
>>152989456No, this is a complete fictionalization for the show. Lesbians do not have sex.
>>153043384Hopefully we'll get some flashbacks and he can sing another song
I'm so glad Val is going to get more screentime in season 3. I hope this is his main outfit, it looks hot on him.
What are your predictions for season 3?
Could we have a thread for characters that were designed by this Frenchman?
>>153043571>are french people rlly that gifted or are those heightsThose heights (not preteens BTW) are above average even for an adult French woman which is 161.9 cm (2001 source), about the world average. Growth pretty much stops after 15 or 16 years. Talia's 170 cm is one standard deviation above the French average, the other about half a SD above.
>>153044337>not prereenssorry, I haven't watched the show lol just read loli and saw the designs thought they were 13 at most. But yeah prolly those heights are from some random person from the united states if they make a buncha teen girls that tall.
>>153041283Grok went full retard and now charges 10$ a month for the same basic service it offered for free and $30 for slightly better videos, so forget it.
>>153039815Nah, he likes girls. Maybe he just doesn't think he has a chance with any of them?
>>153044367>13 at mostTalia is 16, the others 15, pretty much when girls' growth stops. Human height does have large variations though, if anything the French are shorter than European average (all but Talia are average for Spain, latest study), but taller than South American (Guatemala has an extreme low at 148 cm). Lolirock would be slightly below average in Netherlands (169cm).
Post comics that they don't want you to know about.
>>153043612Why would he say "I'll get you for that" before reacting to being hit?
>>153043633He has superhuman reflexes. He knew he was going to get hit and didn't have time to dodge it, but he did have time to say a slur.
What's the point of getting whipped when Superman is invulnerable?
