Good morning, grandpa. Another week, another newspaper, another comics section. The days are long but the weeks are short.

serials? serials. >>153198314
>>153198325
>>153198338 young Ming! there's a place you can goI said, young Ming! where you can torture your foe
>>153198346 this is an absurd arc, but I kind of love it
>>153198354
>>153198365 I know all this is a dream sequence, but the establishing shot every week just makes me think he's having a tummy ache
>>153198375 I like the pose of Val leaping off the ledge
>>153198381
>>153198392 I think we all know where this is going

I'd try it

I befriended a squirrel one year at school. I'd leave blueberries out on my windowsill, and it'd chill and sun there after eating them. a few times, it tapped on the window when I forgot
>>153296284>Literal Writer's thinly veiled disguised fetish.Funnily enough, I made an edit of last week's comic in response to the 20 threads we have last week in regards to the recent leaks.

In the Bleachers enjoyers, the integrity of our strip has been getting called into question as of late. Our rectitude depends on if this week's In the Bleachers is lame or funny

>>153296526eh
>>153296557I liked this one better

>>153296720Who is this cat in the hat? I kind of like him.
>>153296824doubling down on Zippyback next weekstay strong
>>153296834I appreciate you posting Zippy here because then I don't have to go and read it on the eye-searing site.
>>153296792previous weeks (>>153198978) identified him as Mr. Jack. I'm not familiar, myself
>>153296381>Disney's The Sword in the Stone
>>153296856>Mr. Jack is an American comic strip by Jimmy Swinnerton which ran in William Randolph Hearst newspapers from August 30, 1903, until 1935.[1] Mr. Jack, a philandering playboy tiger, may be the first developed cartoon animal character, a type that has since become a staple in the comics medium. >The central character is Mr. Jack, a married but philandering tiger who would flirt with any nearby lady. His long-suffering spouse, "Wifey", often has to beg forgiveness for her husband's misbehavior, only to beat him senseless afterward.1903!
>>153296169According to my research, he weighs cheeses and meats.
>>153296396You call that fetish content? This >>153296609 is fetish content.>>153296633>>153296736The colorists are slacking this week, huh?
>>1532961692; Extra lock of hair on the back of the boy's headOh joy! A question involving everyone's "favorite" subject: Math...How anyone's capable of pulling off an accurate guess in a split-second is the real mystery here...I'm going to assume that the entire torso takes up half of the entire body in height and that we're using the standard 7.5 heads tall route.I'm also going to assume in accordance to the given measurements and that I'm too lazy to guess by looks alone- I'm going to assume that the entire body is a sphere stacked on top of an upside-down cone with the cylinders resembling the arms and legs. The diameter of those cylinders will take up a third of the chest's diameter. Also assuming that the cylinders from both the arms and the legs are the same length excluding the mass from the elbows and knees.The Head: 36 in./7.5= 4.8 inches in diameter2.4 in.^3 * pi * 4/3 = 57.9058 in.^3The Torso: [Base- (35/2 inches)^2 * pi * Height-18 inches] = 5,772.6765 in.^3Arms & Legs (each segment): [Base- (35/(3*2) inches)^2 * pi * (36in. -(18in.+4.8in.)) = 1,411.0987 in.^3Clerk's Entire Body:(1411.0987in.^3*4)+ 5,772.6765 in.^3+ 57.9058 in.^3=11,474.9771 cubic inches. (Don't know how to go from this to kilograms but this is as far as I could get in terms of the incompatible measurements between cubic inches and kilograms)This guess is not accurate but it's baseline and I sunk in hours solving it. Feel free to step in and revise only if you know math yourself. This guess of mine made it sound as if the deli clerk has a baby head.And pardon the deletions earlier. Couldn't think straight now...Stray popcorn in front of woman feet, Straw from thermos, Extra button behind T.V., Guy's tongue, Extra lock of hair on woman, Button on the sofa armrestc.) 24
>>153296337Doesn't he have a nephew or something?
>>153296329Not sure if this is funny or disturbing.
>>153296577I dont get it, why is the hunter there too?
>>153296754I'd argue that Rosa would make a better pillow.
>>153296396>Literal Writer's thinly veiled disguised fetish.Giant babies eating people?
>>153297997No storyline this week, just disconnected school strips. BUT... someone in a Rosebuds thread a couple weeks wondered who this guy is, and now he has a name. That's like the third time something like that's happened around here.
>>153298012Commence shipping.
>>153298019Do they even make this stuff anymore?
>>153296792https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Jack
>>153296200Not sure why but I didn't realize that was a man until she called him dad
>>153296276When will we get the "Beetle Bailey dies in Iran" arc?
>>153296792>>153296990
A pleasure as always, OP.
>>153296169Sarisha should make a webcomic. I'd read it.
>>153296175>>153296181>>153296190>>153296196>>153296200>>153296206Man why isn't this art better? They're drawing SIX panels a week, surely they could put some more effort in
>>153296169Slylock's answer to the dog was obviously "too much"
>>153296642Art is good here. But that joke is very un-Nancy. That's just a generic webcomic joke.
>>153296329Quiz section going hard today.
>>153296169“Just give me the fucking salami.”
>Big Nate is now ending after 35 years, now going to Sundays onlyIt's a bad year for newspaper comics, huh?
>>153296665I say this every time, but I miss when otft had an actual ongoing story with multiple characters and not just Dethany and bad visual puns.
>>153296212great Valiant, this arc's had a lot of good locations so I'm interested if we stick around in the garden.
>>153298106Beetle Bailey died in Vietnam. Most of the comic is set between the Korean War and the start of Vietnam.
>>153297075That's actually clever.
>>153298323I see Lil's still mad about that dream she had where her parents gave Phil all the milk and gave her nothing.

>>153296381She's gonna have to fight Chutney for him.
Anybody remember shortcuts by jeff harris? I always loved doing the word search every time we got the Sunday paper.
>>153297716Hoo boy, are you going to be cross when you read the actual answer.
>>153296169you weight far too much, tubby
>>153298359fuck, i was gonna say that
>>153296169>everyone has snacks except the cat, who's eyeing the mouse insteadhe's bad news
>>153296169Please no meat touching, ma'am.
>>153296175Is this better, /co/mrades?Can we all read this?
>>153296240is this Mewgenics
>>153296609whoa rightduke
>>153296196You know there's a certain level of irony in the fact that both Bogdan and Anne recently got out of prison
>>153296276i feel like most guys would be fine helping out chappy since that would somewhat protect you from getting voluntold to do other annoying shit that daychaplains are all commissioned officers, who's gonna tell them you have to steal beetle bailey to mop floors or some shit? that's not gonna earn you credits with the big man
>>153300206>"Maybe it's the beer talking Marge but you got a butt that won't quit. They got these big chewy pretzels here that aghhhoahgah FIVE DOLLARS?!? Get outta here."
>>153296306dangit dagwood he didn't use photoshop, he just told googlebingxitterGPT to make it for him
>>153300309It's 20 years too early for newspaper strips to be talking about technology like AI.
>>153296406i thought this comic was always like religious and shit but now it's implying the guardian angel doesn't exist and it's just the mom doing everything. weird
>>153296417first time i've seen a multi panel discussion about bingo wings outside of fetish material
>>153300356Back in 2022 not only did the Lockhorns do a bitcoin joke, it was a pretty decent one too. Sometimes they surprise you.
>>153299407the dailies still do that. they've been planning a mission to Mars for months now>>153300206....partial credit
>>153296260BONK
>>153296720I wonder what character the magician is referencing.
>>1532964244 AND 20 CROWS, NONE GO SOUTHFOR THE SUPPER WHEN A PUNK GOES OUT
>>153296432that guy no the right is so seventies it almost hurts me to look but damn is he pulling off the aviators and combover
>>153296169Anime drawing again, at least this time they didn't just trace Shizuka
>>15329665199 tuskballoons
>>153296670>lightning rod>the only part of the truck touching the ground is rubber insulating tiresthe stock photo in the first panel is embarrassing too. how hard can it be to draw a lightning bolt? it would look better too
>>15329673135-26-33? Maybe if she's 5'3".
>>153296746third grade is a little old for dolls, isn't it?
>>153296260It's unironically kino that we've seen the Baby Blues kids age at an agonizingly slow pace for so many years.
>>153298028aren't they outside of the US. probably then
>>153300390Ah, I don't get the dailies anymore. Did they ever bring the Moat Monster back? She was my fav.
>>153300590They'd be eight. Not really.>>153300666>aren't they outside of the US.I have no idea how you got that impression, Satan.
>>153300684well uhtheir names are like 'maricela' and 'maria,' the dialogue has upside down exclamation points sometimes, and i'm vaguely yet lazily racist
>>153296424heh
>>153300206Nice try, Anon.It's readable, but nonsense
>>153296284Do American children eat crayolas?
>>153300206Absolutely cursed Annie face, jesus fuck
>>153302220Only the ones with a future in the Marines.
>>153296169>2>I was seriously about to try breaking down the measurements until I realized it was a riddle referring to the scale itself. It really is "meats and cheeses", isn't it?>Kind of generic, but I don't hate Sarisha's art.>She was 24, right?>Girl's forelock, guy's tongue, length of his straw, stray popcorn, number of buttons on the back of the TV, inset on couch arm. Who the hell balances a plate on a couch like that?>>153297716Oh, anon. I'm so sorry...
>>153296381why is the dad cast in shadow in the 4th panel it's a completely lit scene in the kitchen
>>153303256curtis is lit
>>153296169Reminds me of a guy who bet me $20 he could guess where I got my shoes. I took that bet, and he said "You got them on your feet."Made me laugh, so I paid up. Honestly one of the best ratios of amusement to money spent from that trip
>>153296393KekThe joke is he’s a rotten kid who plays mean, vicious pranks on his poor neighbor hence why he thought the shit he eats is a “brat diet”
>>153296471a little late with this one.
>>153303256Probably so he doesn't distract from Curtis and his dialogue despite taking up the majority of space in the panel.
>>153296169Smug sonofabitch.
>>153296794I like a lot about this one. The little "eep" from the ball before being hit, for example; and the punchline is correct, it IS better to hit your own kid if you accidently hit someone.
>>153296233Seems Gocomics isn't the only site with black inkless bugs. The site, Arcamax, which has some of the frequent comics posted on to these threads, had an inkless version of today's 9 Chickweed Lane comic. Rose is Rose also has a inkless print there. Imagine OP posting pic related rather than the regular version we have here.....
>>153296260>>153306073Ditto to Baby Blues.>>153299315The hell is going in the funnies? First Zits, then Baby Blues, and now Big Nate are ending? Shrinking comic sections in newspapers are the funnies equivalent of Thanos. Someone outta do an Avengers: Infinity War poster with the funnies.
>>153299315holy shit >>153306219my only guess is a mixture of comic strip creators are getting older and wanting to cut back, Pierce is 62. The other is newspaper revenue is still shrinking and maybe keeping Sunday is still more valuable since I guess more people still get at least the Sunday paper instead of the Monday-Saturday? And He might be having better success with the Big Nate Graphic Novels and wants to focus on those. And maybe working on more Max and the Midknights books, not sure if that story ever ended or not.
>>153296169>meats and cheeses
>>153299315Wow, that's a bit of a shock. That would leave Pearls Before Swine, Sherman's Lagoon and Non Sequitur as the only 90s strips still running daily and with their original author
>>153299315Jesus, this is getting ridiculous. At this rate it feels like I'll have to work on my own strip just to help keep this scene from dying out entirely.
>>153296313So there's one hiding or it's an impasta.
>>153296515always had a crush on Lois
>>153296417KEK!
