Good morning, grandpa, and happy Fathers Day. What do you want to do today? Golf? Hiking? Catch? Fix the car? Build a bird house? Hmm? You want to read the newspaper? Ok, enjoy the comics.

>>154315343Better hope the thread doesn't die quickly amidts the wave of Digital Circus threads post-finale. It's even worse than the May wave where it's that and Gameoverse doubled up in threads quickly that the May 24th thread got archived. I was also fearing that last week's Thatababy didn't let you out with a warning. That comic has the blue rainbow horse from Horse Show in the background, which enables a certain anon and his Barney obsession. I, for one, also got distracted during last week's thread by other threads, so it's a relief to post in this week's.And yes, pic related kinda isn't the comic, or else I might get banned, but I found this because the SomethingAwful forums also has something similar and they brought up Wannabe, so I pull this gag out. Guessing /co/'s Sunday Funnies threads isn't the only place to bring up this comic.

>>154316357I wonder if the sauce was intended to be redder.
>>154316357>>154316612Blood does get darker when it dries, I can see how bbq sauce can resemble that.
>>154316477I wouldn't say anyone "preferred" it's more within the lines of "tolerated." I do seem to recall that James is under some illness preventing her to continue long-term.
>>154315362that'a some ATTITUDE there Hunter
>>154316202For God's sake just put a bullet into Nancy's skull and let the dead rest. It's better than watching whatever the hell this is shamble around wearing Nancy's skin like an ill-fitting suit.

>>154315343Robotman/Monty is an underrated comic strip. It’s too bad the robotman stuff will probably not get a new reprint collection because of copyright laws
>>154316424Not so romantic when you know the males bodyparts that aren't required for reproduction starts withering away once he's attached, and he essentially ends up as a barely sentient pair of nuts and a stomach.
>>154316122Interesting that Lio did Father's day on Saturday
>>154315645Oh my!
>>154316202>>154316213Isn't she an actress and model and also married to the self insert of the comic's original creator?
>>154315865what the fuck is that supposed to be?
>>154316046Fuck... am I Jon?
>>154316202why is Fritz in the closet in panel 2 but then suddenly has a goto getup for the pride parade specifically on panel 6?
>>154316236>Peanuts>Featuring Good Old Charlie Brown>Is not present in this comic What did they mean by this?
>>154318628They converted the file wrong. Newspaper comics get sent to the papers in a specific file format designed for use in legacy four color printers that has what are essentially separate CMYK layers.
>>154318702Schulz hated the name Peanuts, he wanted to name it after Charlie Brown, this was his passive aggressive way of doing it, since he had to keep the Peanuts name
>>154315398Hawkmen aren't moustached winged bears. They are woke now.It's over.
>>154316202>>154316477This is so sad because you just know Olivia Jaimes would have made gay aunt Fritzi really funny.

>>154318732makes sense. I choose to believe it's the comic braking down on a fundamental level and refusing to exist.

>>154319955Surprisingly no, they just think it's a pretty bad comic overall, I remember there being a conversation about it being one of the worst comics posted in the thread.
>>154320146Huh, I imagined they'd love that shit if only for the fact it has a black girl and a non stereotypical gay dude. I remember when I stopped going there they were talking shit of Rosebuds as a "fetish comic"
>>154318732>>154319182Yeah, I've noticed in the Garfield HD collection that the black layer is left transparent in the TIFF files. Easy enough to convert but it looks pretty funky on its own.
>>154316357The editors probably made him turn the saturation down from what it was originally.
>>154316545>at least the art is better>betterYou have GOT to be shitting me.
>>154316556Sept 24, 2009
>>154315362Is that a bong on the shelf?
>>154320303Not him but the art is definitely better, it just doesnt make up for the funny dropping to near zero. The strip is approaching GIlchrist tier.
>>154320375It's a kerosene lamp, zoomzoom.
>>154320381I don't blame that Anon for thinking otherwise. Cash's sense for greyscales is excellent, but her coloring strips away the charm. Anyone that's only seeing the Sundays is going to have a worse opinion of her.
>>154316202Caroline, what the fuck is this shit?
>>154320209>I remember when I stopped going there they were talking shit of Rosebuds as a "fetish comic"I remember that, too. There was a point where both Rosebuds and Wannabe were getting equally shat on due to their close association with one another, but Rosebuds started improving and they started speaking more in favor of it but Wannabe got left behind.
>>154316202>…but this one is more of a classic Fritzi Ritz stripLike hell it is. Since when was Fritzi's single defining character trait the fact that she's gay (or "bi", I guess)? Cause that's the only thing I ever see Cash do with her.
>>154320516idk if it's true for nancy but iirc most legacy strips have a colorist that's separate from the original author so colors aren't something they have control over.
>>154316046>why do they call it an oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food
>>154320606It's a comic made to appeal to the youthful spirit of America.
>>154315610I used to prefer Matchbox to Hotwheels as a kid because Matchbox had more regular boring cars and I was a sperg.... oh, the joke is that they're literally vehicles for cold stuff. I am still a sperg.>>154316202>>154316213The modern world is so vile and detestable holy shit>>154316357>Where will you be when diarrhea strikes?
>>154318144Can we even see that?
>>154316202I've defended this new direction for the comic up to this point, but the absolute GALL to compare this to Classic Fritzi Ritz is beyond insulting. This comic desperately needs an actual writer. Cash can still be the artist, but good lord someone take the typewriter away from her.
>>154315362The place looks clean.No dust or cobwebs.
>>154316213This one is better because even though it's a cliche joke, Nancy is all about cliche jokes. This is a fine lesser Nancy strip. Fritzi really needs to do stuff other than have dating life woes though, it sucked when Gilchrist did it and it still sucks when it's gay
>>154322865>>154323213>Phil>>154316202>PhylisGood fucking god.
>>154323400I noticed that but I dont really give a shit about Phil to mind that he changed, all the versions have slightly different characters anyway. Really miss the Jaimes side characters though. Cash Nancy is really Nancy and Sluggo focused and surprisingly I find that kind of boring.
>>154320381The art in the strip you posted is terrible. She just can't draw well. What's up with that arm in the first panel? Why is she looking to the right in the first panel but he comes from the left in the next? In the second panel, Sluggo doesn't look like he's running, he looks like he's standing on one leg. In the third panel, why is there suddenly woodcut-style shading on his legs, and why does it have nothing to do with the light source for all the other shadows (which look more like puddles of ink than shadows). In the last panel, why is he back in front of her, and why is their little plot of turf suddenly a sheer ledge?The draftsmanship, composition, and the way the illustrations tell the story are all severely fucked. There's nothing wrong with liking her style, but to claim that her art skills are "better" is hard to defend.
>>154315387Ooo Ubusoft, you so silly!
>>154323213>Fritzi really needs to do stuff other than have dating life woes thoughAgreed. It reveals a stunning lack of confidence in Fritzi's ability to hold a strip on her own, which is baffling when she's one of the stronger Nancy characters.
>>154323528Phil didn't actually change, Phylis is a separate character. Although making her Phil's cousin is kind of weird if she's actually supposed to be a love interest. Even if there is something comical about dumpy everyman Phil being replaced by an equally dumpy lesbian.
>>154323912Sadly it was Claude and not Yves.
I woke up yesterday morning thinking it was Sunday and was so mad this thread wasn't here.
>>154323676Good? No. Better? Yes.
I read today's Nancy in my e-mail and immediately thought, "/co/'s gonna have opinions on this one."And I was right.
>>154315539AbsoLUTELY fucked up the scale on that Hughes 500. These birds are TINY.
>>154323213I think that's what gets me the most, that Cash seems to be emulating the Gilchrist approach, as if that was a good idea in any way.
>>154324530It's like that strip in particular was scientifically engineered to piss people here off, it's almost impressive.
>>154316357this but edited whiteand Rosa is next
where is Crabgrass>>154315835This is actually cute>>154316225Also this is underrated>>154324137See this is funny>>154323676I wont argue if someone thinks that Jaimes is compositionally better, and having the images tell the story is a big part of being a Nancy artist. Jaimes comics could get really wordy, but the sight gag ones do work. Still, I think that Cash's style being messy is part of the charm, I dont think the issues matter that much, but then that's preferences. I would say how Nancy looks herself is my fav since Bushmiller and that really carries a lot of it for me
This might interest the anons here. Here's a small list of newspapers and the comics they've picked out to replace Big Nate: https://www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/2026/06/17/the-big-nate-replacement-thread/
>>154315578Finally.
>>154326049Imagine getting passed over for greater margin width.
>>154326398Imagine getting replaced with Ziggy
>>154316179you're a big leatherback
>>154315865ZAWARUDO
>>154326049Wonder if that means they aren't running Sunday Nate, because all those strips do Sundays too or adding their Sundays with Nate. Go Comics went with reruns for Big Nate, and went back to 1991.
>>154326706Those newspapers are swapping the daily Big Nate comic since they're not going into reruns.
>>154315752Coffee cup sleeves stretch with use, I swear!
>>154320051Hah!
>>154315865Unfortunately, Arcamax's print was also like this. ALONGSIDE LAST WEEK'S AND THE WEEK BEFORE!!!
>>154316331This is what they'd dedicate a whole fucking B plot of Bob's Burgers too where Bob and Linda meet some autistic girl and have to help her take in a one-day-late book without having a panic attack.
>>154327917I'm starting to wonder if Crankshaft is trying to convey the experience of having dementia.
>>154315362The dent in the pillow
>>154326049Isn't Lio stuck in rerun hell as well? All the strips I've seen in these threads are ancient.
>>154315362No one who bothers to learn to solve a rubik's cube leaves it unsolved in between uses, which means they were forced to leave in a rush.
>>154315343I miss Robotman
>>154322865Wait a second it's the same person
>>154316202>>154316213I officially hate this bitch nowall she had to do was not make lame jokes where the punchline is a character being gay, and she does it anyways.
>>154328536It's still running, it's always had reruns sneak in for years. Mark used to the same with Heart too.
>>154325038She's brought up the three rocks multiple times, just like how GIlchrist leaned into it
>>154323213I just realized how odd the Gilchrist proportions on Fritzi are. She looks like a shortstack here.>>154324226I'll give Cash this; it WAS always canon that she had a thing for dumpy partners, so she at least got that right. Gilchrist just slowly morphed Phil into an Archie character after a while, in an effort to make their relationship seem more "traditional". He even made her taller than Fritzi, which is just a cardinal sin.
>>154328542I miss My Cage, and to a much lesser extent Dilbert and Helen Sweetheart of the Internet.
