Good morning, grandpa. It's nearly June. You know what that means: we're both ever so slightly closer to the grave. In the meantime, let's laugh at the newspaper comics.

Tatulli's comic is realistic, and the kids act like kids. Everyone in nu-Heart is too quirk chungus.>>153977923As a kid I saw a milk snake get run over. I remember seeing him in the middle of the road after the car had passed, writhing around with his mouth open, like he was yawning. He was still alive, but his guts had burst out his side and been flattened onto the asphalt. As he crawled he was slowly pulling all of his insides out of his body. He was clearly suffering.I ended up crushing his head with a rock. It took me two tries cause he pulled away from me the first time, like he was gonna bite, and I had to wait for that part of him to go away first. I don't know what snakes do when they die but he eventually started circling back, like he was going to coil himself up, and when his head was turned away from me, I smashed it.

>>153977026Man, Slylock must be broiling in those clothes.
>>153977747>>153977702>>153978517these comics are so visually ugly, how the fuck do people draw art like this?It's like beanmouth in animation, but there's no beanmouth, its just inherently revolting.
>>153981596>calling Rosebuds ugly and revoltingAt least put some effort into your trolling.
>>153977026Slylock drags the dirty shrew to the water and shoves his face underneath repeatedly while demanding that he fess up.
>>153977026Slylock uses the book he's holding, obviously
>>153977702Rowling is not as bad as the people going after her.
>>153977021Why does everyone always look so bored in this comic?

>>153977133Ironic. Thread's dying again. Got this bonus anti-AI Adam though.
>>153977120Alalalalaala!
>>153977026- 1 and 4- Slylock asked him to read the sunscreen bottle, which he shouldn't be able to do with another species' prescription.- Will's drawing is somehow calming and disturbing at the same time.- D), an army.- Number of ducks on the cliff, fish's fin, water droplets under the fish, number of trees in the distance (looks more like a coloring error though), bear's pink finger, bird's wing feathers.

>>153987558fucking lmfao
>>153978640god i wish that was me
>>153984209It's relatable for the readers
>>153979100>Tatulli's comic is realistic, and the kids act like kids. Everyone in nu-Heart is too quirk chungus.The problem is more so there's nothing to actually contrast the quirkiness. Like take >>153977413 for example. A little girl looking for a net to capture aliens with? A neat concept for a comic strip! However, it hinges on the store employee to deliver the punchline. He could be tired and think "Oh GREAT, another one!" or delivers a dry joke about being out of radiation proof nets.Instead he just unironically plays along here, which is the most boring outcome imaginable. And that's the issue here; every adult or outsider just goes with whatever insane thing these kids are trying to accomplish, with zero pushback or tension. You can't have weirdo characters only to NOT have them treated like actual weirdos, that defeats the entire point. Every other comic strip under the sun understands this fundamental rule EXCEPT NuHeart.
>>153993162>You can't have weirdo characters only to NOT have them treated like actual weirdos, that defeats the entire point.But then the weirdo's pwecious feewings might be hurt! That's just bad and wrong!
>>153993162No, it does understand that, and is trying to subvert it. Your expectation is that the store guy will give some kind of funny reaction to the absurdity, the joke is that he doesn't.It just doesn't work and isn't funny in the slightest.
>>153977036This is hard to savor on account of being hard to read.
>>153993690But like, the subversion could work as well! You have have us THINK he's a cynical adult, only to pull the wool over the audience's eyes and have him be is all in on her plan in the final panel. The would be equally as funny. Problem is, the intention is revealed the moment you see the character. There's no subversion here, because the writer has never considered it a subversion in the first place. It's just saccharine for the sake of it.
