>>146826681Is this just pg south park?
>>146829763https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/142758513/If you get curious about the rest of the series, here's a link that has all the storytimes linked Note that for everything after volume 3, you're better off just reading the series off of the Internet Archive since the pages used in the following storytimes aren't in the best quality
>>146829787It's more influenced by Peanuts, Calvin & Hobbes, and Cerebus (I'm dead serious) The difference between the former two and Amelia Rules is that the series allows for the passing of time meaning the cast actually get older as the story progresses It's kind of like Ramona Quimby
>>146826725Interesting subject matter for a kids book
>>146826782She looks like she belongs in something else
>>146829807>CerebusNo kidding in what way?
>>146826897No fucking way
>>146829856Some of the lettering, expressions, and panelling in the series show signs of being influenced by Sim's Dave Sim was a huge influence on Jimmy Gownley when he started doing comics
>>146826938Was this an alagory or am I reading too much into things?
>>146827029Aw
>>146827088Merry Christmas storytime poster
>>146829921I know the series is influential but it's almost hard to believe at times
>>146829812I something worth mentioning is that this issue came out in 2001 (though the series would eventually have to adopt a semi floating timeline when the books came out later than expected)Think back when Rhonda asks if Amelia's dad is safe and the page where Amelia's mom is flipping through channelsThis was on the back of the cover when the issue came out
>>146830110*this was the back cover
>>146830051Awwww
