>>151821324I always loved the subversion of this one.
>>151809342This one's always been my favorite.
>>151821446I can forgive all their other crimes, but this one is simply too far!
Humor me. I've been following the comic for years now, and wondering how much charactor favorability predicts feelings on other characters, positive and negative. I polled other places like the official Discord, Tumblr, Bluesky, and Patreon. It was a lot of what you'd expect based on the echo chambers on each website, with some interesing discrepancies. But I wanted to see how people felt here because I thought I'd get the most interesting opinions.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdo6Opyjo4XL2ESLaSUrP7ggE_wzGfGDwj1nEFKP8X5cbCjrA/viewform?usp=dialogAbbey isn't here because I forgot to put him in the first poll I did, and I'm too lazy to fix it, lol.
>>151814351Hot
>>151811366The fact that I unironically love School Days may be part of what helps me get through this comic.
>>151818334I'm still baffled Taeshi is pushing for this "Paulo cares about what Abbey thinks" angle when Paulo has been shown time and time again to adore ribbing the guy, from being needlessly assholish to him to making fun of him for being upset about his dead mother, which not even Augustus the actual edgy character did (he went for an "I thought you were better than your father", which while still cruel it was more about Abbey's self control). He's said to his face he doesn't give a shit about him and the only reason he ever apologizes (without meaning it) is because Daisy asks him to. The only thing that ever stoped him was Abbey giving his guts some character development. I can buy the cat actually going to therapy and having a net of friends and parental figures trying to help him improve and leave his grudges behind to forgive Paulo, but I can't take male Lucy growing a conscience out of nowhere seriously
>>151820537Eh, I feel like it kind of tracks. I think Paulo always felt like the conflict between him and Abbey was an equal conflict, only for Daisy to finally do something that she should have done years ago and point out that a good 98% of it was Paulo being the fucking problem until Abbey lost his patience. This is where Paulo breaks from being Male Lucy: he recognizes that when someone has a justified hatred of you for constantly aggressing on them, you can FUCKING STOP attacking them and spend time building a better dynamic.
Patiently waiting for Abbey''s table to be something more than background characters and AbbeyxHaley to be revealed
What are your most prized, bizarre, or interesting comic shop finds?
I got a bunch of Bone comics when they were having a "THE SELLER WAS IN SEVERE FINANCIAL TROUBLE" sale.
>>151821116A Batman #423 first print along with a couple other Batman key issues that I bought for one or two bucks each.
>>151821116Complete run of Kamandi floppies.
>>151821261Nice. I got a handful of New Gods but for classic Kirby stuff my collection is severely lacking.
>>151821116pic rel is all from my local shop, except for the sonic comics the only ones i could salvage from my shitty childhood I love reprints of EC comics, i even started buying the reprinted collections of Vault of Horror/Haunt of Fear to sink my teeth into. The Nostradamus comics were a fun find also, I never really knew anything about his predictions and, the comics themselves are moreso books with some graphics but still a good read. The sonic and Smokey the Bear comics i love for those vintage ads, and corny jokes. lastly I love CUD. The original run of CUD is very anti-comics code, heavily inspired by R. Crumb, very stupid and edgy for the sake of edgy, Terry LaBan's more mainstream stuff was a bit too neutered for me. I have 3 main columns for buying comics, anything old on that pulpy paper, horror comics, indie comics, and things that might not even conventionally be comics but are still presented in the medium. If the comics doesn't even have a barcode, or looks hand drawn, I'll probably love it. I try not to buy anything made after the late 90s, the art work is overdone, and i hate the feeling of glossy pages. I want my comics to feel like a newspaper and not needing any fancy shading or too realistic character models.
ITT: post the worst christmas specials you can find
>>151816166I wonder where that catgirl is now...
>>151814056>you'll rue the day you had your way with meok
>>151818111The live action remake might be worse
>>151815800wow, i've never even heard of this. and I can see why...surely they aired this only once.who the fuck green-lit "pissed off doll that looks like elmer fudd screams a lot, some other shit happens...and it's christmas."
>>151815800Feels like a disjointed rough draft, or a guy walking around and loading random cut scenes in a CD-I game.
Isnt it ironic that henry pym used to micromanage scott langs acts
>>151817184Pretty much, they were made as distinct characters
ants
>>151819547What about them
>>151820218ANTS
>>151814128>>151814525What a dummy
X has to save Christmas>Characters meet Santa>Something goes wrong>It’s up to the characters to save Christmas>They fuck up everything>Santa is okey and saves the day as if nothing happened
Freddy Krueger Saves Kristmas
>>151820134Kid character doesn't have faith in Santa, all the adults and other kids are like "you just gotta BELIEVE!" and then kid character tries to catch Santa in the act, something happens that makes it so kid can't actually see Santa, but presents are there, cookies are munched, and milk is drunk. Last scene is kid gasping and going "Santa Clause...."
>>151820134schizophrenic flip-flopping between rhyming narration and poorly comedic dialoguebonus points if the same special starts expecting you to take it seriously in the third act where Santa inevitably fucks up somehow
>>151820134Black Santa is the only one I hate
Merry Christmas Edition HO HO HO

>>151814488Gearfae Nora's have the right amount of softness.
>>151786852Charlotte and Zach?
Question to Iron Man fans if any are here, what's the exact origin of this line?I have doubts Whedon came up with that quip because this specific interaction happened between Iron Man and Titanium Man in a 2008 movie tie-in videogame pretty much word for word, obviously predating his Avengers.https://youtu.be/UM8IcHFMk0c?si=U8VyOOnjmE1qdzjY&t=375>6:15 if the timestamp doesn't work for whatever reasonI highly doubt Whedon would reference/steal from a fairly shitty vidya few people have played to the point that most seem to believe it originated in 2012 MCU Avengers, so I assume it probably came from the comics or some other media featuring Stark.
>>151821264i did also check for results before 2009, which would include the game and movie. not too many new results pop up, but "billionaire playboy genius" does seem to be used a bit in descriptions for the 2008 movie, so maybe Whedon got the idea from reviews for the movie?
>>151821281It's genius billionaire playboy philanthropist in The Avengers. Honestly thinking about it again it could've also been a coincidence though I'm still leaning more on it being a reference
>>151821190>where do you think we are.png
>>151821330ah, if that's the case, then it was probably just a coincidencethough, watching the game clip, the framing of it does feel very similar to the way the line plays out in The Avengers>Titanium Man: Who do you think you are, Stark?>Iron Man: Oh, I dunno, billionaire playboy genius?>Captain America: Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?>Iron Man: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.feels too close to just be a coincidence. Whedon might've heard about it, really liked it and wanted to use the line. as unlikely as it is, it's not impossible that he played the game or at least seen clips of it while researching for the script
>>151821422It might've come from Whedon writing a conflict between Tony and Steve and thinking of iconic lines but who knows (aside from Whedon)
Obscure characters that look nice. Specially from advertisement.https://youtu.be/B-egORx9h5w
>>151818545>>151818681The correct response is not to respond. By giving him (you)s you are validating their effort, regardless of how you feel.

Last /shelf/ of the year, let us see your 2025 acquisitions. Also, what would you consider to be a red flag in any comics shelf? For me its tilted books, I cant trust anyone with a bookshelf that looks like pic related
>>151789205I am expecting my order of CSM part two this week. Hopefully it comes today monday. Tuesday at most
>>151820399Get rid of >X-Statix omni>kayfabe subAdd (possibly bad suggestions)>Conan omnibus(es)>Kickstarter reward>Section dedicated to one creator.Maybe get rid of the Funko squate too andupdate some of the pics. Dido and Warren Ellis have been off the scene for ages.
>>151821247I think Conan is a good fit now that they're being reprinted.
>>151821218You're not welcome here, namefag.
>>151821408Shut up, cuckold
This shit is beyond ridiculous. Is there an actual fucking competition I don't know about among "animators" to produce the ugliest shit imaginable? Is this some new religion? Can we call this "animated brutalism" yet? It seems as if there's some kind of actual horrible post-modern philosophy driving all of this that DEMANDS that everything be as unpleasing to the eye as possible. Is the goal to punish the viewer for watching?I can't stand this new generation of "animators" who seem to have no discernible talent other than inducing retching and dry heaving through their visual output. And of course they're all fucking women.
>>151820989Half right, half wrong.
>>151821117Which half is right, and which one wrong?
This movie better be PG-13 at least. I don’t want to hear Brad Bird say "animation isn’t just for kids" otherwise.
>>151820307They made a movie about Chris Ray Gun?
>>151820307>Skydance
>>151820307It was so funny seeing him bitch about Incredibles 2 being labeled a 'kids' movie,' the same film where half its marketing hinged on whatever silly mishaps Baby Jack-Jack was getting up to.
>>151820307>"animation isn't just for kids!">look outside the realm of modern kids cartoons>it's all manchild bullshitwhen's the last time we had a really good hand-drawn 2D animated film, east or west?

>>151813283reboot was cool, too bad the revival isn't that good
Beauty and the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are both massively overrated. Beauty in particular aged terribly and looks very rough because it is the first Disney feature to go all in on digital paint and ink. Some of the stills look like a bad 90s PC educational game.
>>151819689>It's still a significantly better movie than anything Disney has released in the last 25 yearsWRONG
>>151819622At the very least this one in particular it only last less than ten seconds.But yeah, it's pretty terrible.
>>151819622>Beauty and the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are both massively overrated. Do you just wake up every day INSISTING on spouting out nonsense?
