Good morning, grandpa. The paper was covered with leaves this morning, so I guess nature finally caught up to the comics. Enjoy.

I can confidently say I've never seen past a quarter of the comics posted here.
ah, I forgot Edge City's multi-week cheating arc>>146397292Kenzie is in a league of her own. and I remember a few Lio/Pearls crossovers, let me see if I can find them>>146397367my mom-a-mia?
>>146397292I don't see today's anywhere, but this one got me good
>>146396980Rosa deserves to be cute. CUTE!
>>146396339Helpful for the Slylock
>>146397492Normally I'd call that guy a fag but Abby has too much of a nice rack to cheat on.
>>146397480Source?
>>146398600The Wannabe creator
>>146396698Yup.
>>146396132I KNEW I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE!!!!!!!!!
People put gravy on baked potato’s?

>>146396564I get spontaneously falling asleep on a couch, but if you're planning to take a nap why not just go to your bedroom?
>>146396843fuck
>>146397074Sorry guys but Tina is the best.
>>146398666it looked like it. neat. I promise I won't tell Andrews McMeel
>>146396537This Lio is actually funny/

>>146396925Cute girl and cute mom.
>>146398666Well it didn't take long. Have the full version?
>>146397116But he gets a ... kick out of it.
>>146397179She always looks cute, but something about these poses/expressions is really activating my neurons, if you catch my drift.
>>146397292Breaking Cat News should be in EVERY Sunday Funday thread.
>>146399705I do
>>146397302He sure got it!
>>146395799
>>146397492RUN AWAY!!!
>>146396726Damn, I didn't know the Sunday funnies had a goth waifu.
>>146397641ouch
>>146397707Yes. Yes, she does!
Post Dilbert.
>>146396141That pun-on-a-pun is kind of guilding the lily I fear.
>>146396227I hope everyone else is reading that author in a Truman Capote voice.
>>146399853
>>146399106Tina and Lila are my favorite, and it's clear I like Italian women.
>>146400238You can see this one insteadhttps://files.catbox.moe/ok178l.png
>>146400388I like short, black haired ladies so them, WD's Rita and Marla from Retail, shame the last one isn't on reruns.
>>146399779I mean, she's a thirst trap. Both in design, and explicitly in her character.
>>146400521You probably just commissioned these, in which case thanks, but I'd rather believe you're in the industry and you guys swap lewds like the nine old perverts at Disney.
>no Dark Side of the Horse
>>146401607fine. but somebody has to keep the bench warm. who're you swapping out?
>>146401780Doonesbury. Complete garbage nobody likes
>>146395799THE FUCK WAS THAT!?
>>146401537>>146401537>Doesnt know the story about Bill Watterson and Berkeley Breathed doing a collab piece of Bill the cat and Hobbes sexually assaulting a naked Blondie
>>146401798Doonesbury may struggle to rack up points, but it draws fouls like nobody's business. it's an important part of the team
>>146401926Then remove Dumpings or Fred Basset. Literally why the fuck is either of them in this thread
>>146395799Plain/lightly salted potato chips with brown sauce (supposedly very similar to US gravy) has been a stable at the Christmas table over here for as long as I can remember, and I'm 34.Interesting seeing someone discover how good they go together for the first time.
>>146401926>>146401946I was just about to say Fred Basset. Complete garbage nobody likes
>>146401946>>146401987you fellas clearly weren't here for the divorce arc lmao. but yes, I most weeks I don't include Fred Basset
>>146402019Out of curiosity, what comics you post in this thread are your favorites?
>>146400521RIP terry.
>>146402040>consistently funny and soulfulWTB, Nancy, Bizarro, In the Bleachers, Cul de Sac, Argyle Sweater>appealing art, wit, and/or nostalgiaWannabe, Slylock, Curtis, Pickles, Phoebe, old Heart, Tina, Pearls>how does he do itFrank and Ernestfor serials, I really only follow Flash (quality), Phantom (memes), and Tarzan (wtf)
>>146401907She consented
>>146396023Kiwi! did it betterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdUUx5FdySs
>>146402401Nice list>No Breaking Cat News, Rosebuds, or ZitsA shame though
>>146396980I've noticed that the art lately has gotten more vibrant in the colors and the lineart looks a little different. It's kind of neat.
>>146401875Anglo nachos.>>146397707Yes Maria yerNow use the picture to blackmail your sister and turn her into a sexual slave for my leasure!>>146397249Oh Ziggy, will you ever win>>146397074Wouldn't the square root of a subdecimal number be bigger due to the nature of multiplication when applied to subdecimal fractions?>>146395808Huh. That is one fat tiger lady, apex predator my ass.
>>146402784>Now use the picture to blackmail your sister and turn her into a sexual slave for my leasure!Rosa's certainly no stranger to such unfortunate scenarios.
>>146402681
>>146402681He's started to draw Maria hippier as well. Which is nice.
>>146402401Frank and Earnest is such good shtick.
>>146402549Rosebuds has been growing on me. for a long time I didn't get the hype, but now I'm starting to understand Rosa's characterization
>>146402681Yeah, I noticed when he started using varying line weights. You don't see that too often these days.
>>146403235I get the sense that Dee was really helped by having editorial input. You can see it with the redesigns, and you can see it with his improvements over time. Having feedback from some editor who's probably been doing this for 40 years is more valuable than a lot of people realize.Probably having to do Sundays and Dailies is also helping him as well though. I think he's gotten pretty good at the Sundays as his paneling starts to get more varied.
>>146403297Yeah, I've seen him say on Twitter that having to do Sundays has really helped him stretch his artistic muscles.
>>146403324Yeah, the one you posted is the one I think of. I even sent a message to Dee praising him for that Sunday. He's getting better; you love to see it.
>>146396537It's all fun and games until someone assumes it's a gloryhole.
>>146403324>>146403392I think this one is one of my favorites. It's probably no coincidence that some of the best comics also focus on Rosa.
>>146403429Au contraire.
>>146403849Yeah, all three sisters are endearing, but Rosa kinda takes the cake.
>>146403297Agreed. Unrelated but I want his McKenzie statues.
>>146396843Marigold's narcissism never ceases to amuse me.
>>146395976Hhoott looks like porn
>>146396280It's funny because Trudeau hasn't drawn the strip since he returned in the 90s, it's some guy who doesn't get any credit even though at this point only Garfield still does that
>>146396314Oh god I forgot Barfy's fucking dead
>>146405869>at this point only Garfield still does thatBlondie, Hagar, and Beetle Bailey do that too. Even For Better or For Worse had an uncredited background artist. I know there's a few other comics that too it too, but it's not just Garfield.
>>146402784>That is one fat tiger lady, apex predator my ass.why do you think she's so fat, you fool
>>146395994heh
>>146396132>>146396173>>146396339>>146396350>>146396407>>146396631FAVORITE COMICS OF THE WEEK

>>146396197oh cool it's the same fuckign joke againfuck this bitch, she's just Garfield but with more pussy hair>>146396207I hate flies>>146396227what a fat fuck lmao
>>146396884oh god, I'm getting old enough to laugh at boomers laughing at themselves.>a bona fide AOL email in 2024holy christ
>>146396909why is popeye in the newspaper referencing fucking castlevania. this world is scary
>>146396980You mean to tell me all her feats of strength and she can't break down a single door? A door that already has the hinges tearing off? Gee, I hope someone got fired for that blunder!
>>146397179SEXO
>>146395808Do you think the Slylock guys know any of these internet characters they're featuring or do they just think gen alpha is bursting with future character designers
>>146396118This is disgustingly surreal, keep these fuckers in the 50s
>>146407377the old boomers don't but i wouldn't be surprised if the new ones do>replying to the same strip where cassandra has 'troll slylock' written on her to-do listblind girl has nice ass
>>146407413'trolling' as slang has existed since before the internet though. They were using it in Vietnam
>>146407377I doubt they keep up with anime/YouTube stuff, which is what kids are watching. but they'd know the kids aren't making it up. it's the nature of what children draw.
>>146407377They featured fucking Sonichu. Do not recite dark magicks to me foul witch, I was there when the book was penned.
>>146401987you're a fucking piece of shitFred basset is my nigger
>>146396429Snow Crash
>>146395919That's some nice art, I fully belie this would take a week to render.
>>146395994GOD, I am such a sucker for atrocious puns like this.>>146396065Cute.
>>146396185Huh, Candorville is still going? I haven't read that since I was a kid. Does this dude still have the one lady simping after him?
>>146396247And thus, a legend is born...
>>146407377I wouldn't put anything past them. Bob Weber is aware about Rule34, he once convinced some blogger to take down his post about Slylock Fox R34 by giving him a tasteful cheesecake of Cassandra Cat in bikini in return. Kids sending their drawings of Pokemon isn't anything new either. Sonichu was definitely an oversight, though.
>>146396594>>146396606Neat.
>>146396631The wide spaces between panels is throwing me off, I thought this was three seperate vertical comics for a second.
>>146397480>>146398666>>146399853>>146400521Anon don't be a tease. Please share the full pic, I can only get so erect and I am dying here.
>>146395799Holy shit /co/ finally has daily comic strips threads?
>>146395808The one holding the flathead screwdriverThis one was kind of easy
>>146400521Wew lad.
>>146397234Never even crossed my mind that they might do actual history. I really like this aesthetic I wonder if Noel's done other comics.
>>146396537I always appreciated Stephen Pastis being willing to be the butt of the joke by other cartoonists. I guess it's only fair when a lot of his earlier stipes relied on edgy shock humor against other strips.
>>146409620He can take it as well as diss it out.
>>146408998Have this art I found on twitter instead
>>146410208I've already seen that one. Please, anon, I'm begging you.
>>146396118Sexo with all 3
>>146407525They weren't using it as slang in the war. They were using it literally.
>>146397480>someome has a spicy pic of rosa and kenzie straight from the wannabe creator>>146406178>someone jumped immediately to defend garfielddee?
>>146398864Black people, yes.
>>146409620>>146409799It's a shame he stopped doing it and has ended up doing "life is hard I don't want to get out of bed"-tier comics now
>>146399709Carlos..
>>146398864I don't, but now that you mention it...
>>146396118Why even give her those awful hair streaks? She'd look perfectly fine without that, it just looks obnoxious here.
>>146403849god DAMN
>>146413492
>>146395799MEET AND HUH?
>>146417785Holy shit I didnt even notice her there>it's canon that's the closest she's gotten to a shower in weeks
>>146410208something about this just isn't doing it for me compared to the striptoo pretty or not sleazy enough, or maybe the eyes>>146397480>discord filename>not sharingFAGGOT
>>146417785I like how they draw each other's characters
>>146403849
>>146418748Thighs.
>>146417785Need those hips on my face.
>>146401926True. I remember even as a kid reading the sunday newpaper and ignoring Doonesbury entirely. I never liked it, but would feel something's missing without it.
>https://x.com/MrWillHenry/status/1858691547295838657It only now registered for me that everything used to be physical media, so there are stacks of thousands of classic strips stored somewhere...
>>146396999Sherman is my spirit animal.
>>146396339L-lewd...
>>146401780I have no idea why I like this strip.
>>146397074Cute, surprised I haven't very many people waifu this character.
>>146396118I hate when modern things are injected into comics that dont need it
>>146396909and this is another example of why popeye is one of the greatest things in existance. also loved the castlevania reference
>>146420687I made a Twitter account just to see Will Henry draw. He's very talented, and easily the best current comic artist of which I'm aware.https://x.com/MrWillHenry/status/1834253544511123818?t=OhxtZ4vgd055m9ECks5FZw&s=19
>>146401957Brown sauce is not like gravy in any way, other than that they are both wet. Not even american gravy.
>>146395799Huh. This does make a lot of sense.
>>146424634I meant Scandinavian brown sauce, not UK.I've never had american gravy, so I can't say for certain how close it is to either.
>>146425088A quick look at the Scandinavian Brown Sauce, we have a similar thing here, but regular brown gravy in the US is not cream based. It's a roux with beef drippings or stock.
>>146395808>Cassandra is le epic trollA woman after my own heart.>2>Tiger, anteater would've simply slurped that dongle up.>Bone, fingernail, tongue, pupils, horn, nostrils>a), same year Oppenheimer was promoted the chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. Two years after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Easy spot the differences this week.
>>146396482Made me smile.
>>146396594Blue pigment is extremely rare in nature. There's only a handful of animals that naturally produce blue pigment, like certain butterflies.
>>146402784>Wouldn't the square root of a subdecimal number be bigger due to the nature of multiplication when applied to subdecimal fractions?Yeah, but I think that makes it funnier. Tina's not the brightest bulb.
>>146397179Chickweed Lane, eat your heart out.
>>146396227They don't make em like this anymore. Class A, as always.
>>146396775Her date seems to realize he made a mistake.
>>146428305Never gonna be made again.
>>146420687>there are stacks of thousands of classic strips stored somewhereSome masters are sold (my parents have one from For Better or For Worse) but I'm betting most are ditched after delivery
>>146430548I vaguely recall an interview from one of the various archivists that worked on one of the failed Li'l Abner complete collection attempts, in which they detailed having to call up every minor library in the country asking about the funny pages from specific dates. Forget the masters; there's no guarantee copies exist for anything of a certain age (and time demands that age is always growing closer).
>>146426834>>146430162>same stripI can't imagine a worse downgrade. Why didn't Tatulli end Heart when he had the chance instead of handing it over to some literally who no-talent?
>>146422339It's a nice amount of nerdy
>>146430548>>146430979Surely the newer strips that are done on physical media, e.g. WTB, keep the masters somewhere? It would be tragic if not. >>146432241We've talked about this before, but the choice was between turning into another zombie strip or seizing the opportunity to bring some new blood into the comics pages. He made the right choice. I just wish someone else had taken over.
>>146432503A master is about 14"x7" on heavy board times 365 strips a year. That's a lot of storage necessary for something that was originally seen as throw-away.
thanks for these, anon
people read these?
>>146396686heh heh heh, that nancy sure is a little shit
>>146430548Oh I'd love to have some original strips, and foob is a good one to have.
>>146430548That's sad, they don't even bother storing them in case they want to do physical collections/reruns? I remember tons of game studios doing similar to their source code, this seems like a persistent issue in general.
>>146435520About 2/3 of the first 6 seasons of Doctor Who are missing simply because the BBC thought no one would ever care to watch it again, and tape was expensive, so they recorded new shows over the masters. That's illustrative of the whole problem, really. It's hard to sell a business on "we should waste resources on preserving this for a decade or 5, because there might be a market for a rerelease later." That's an easy expense to cut, sad as it is.
>>146436301Wait, flip that. It's 1/3 missing.
>>146433888yepchecked
>>146436301Never mind Doctor Who, NASA erased the fucking Moon Landing tapes to save space. The ones we have are recordings from secondary sources that had crappier reception or were filming a screen showing the NASA live footage. The greatest achievement man had ever made and they got rid of it because they needed the storage space for calculations. Absolute madness.
>>146436301Very true. But then again, Disney practically made an empire out of that exact concept for decades. Imagine if Disney just threw away the Pinocchio or Sleeping Beauty or Snow White master tapes, and were just let with never rereleasing their old movies again unless some guy found them while dumpster diving. They probably would've died off somewhere in the 60s.
>>146432503The trouble is people keep comparing it to the old HOTC.This is new territory with new characters, like Charlotte and old ones, like Dean.
>>146397179>>146397135>>146397480S E X with McKenzie.
>>146396843I wish it was on the game, if you catch my drift.
>>146395808I discovered that there's this comic/puzzle thing called the Jumble and this week they're doing guest artists, and yesterday's was Slylock Fox.
>>146445006>just discovered the JumbleHow.
>>146445898I only know about comics that get posted about here.Anyways, it seems that Wannabe and Breaking Cat News is getting a Jumble strip too.
>>146433888Sure, they're practically tradition at this point.
>>146444751Best one.
>>146444751What the fuck.
>>146442069Aunt Fritzi was my first /co/ love
>>146445898The only reason I know about the Jumble is the Simpsons.
