Thread 150378046

Good morning, grandpa. Your paper is on the hassock. You'll see from today's comics that the kids are back in school. How would we ever tell time without the funnies?

now it's a real tournament arc!

>>150378058
Easy There was a hole in the ground next to the footprints where the Ostrich buried his head.

>>150252745
the time fuckery is messing with the paneling, we saw two of these last week!

>>150252753
he's eyeing that champion, all right...

>>150378046 (OP)
Man, they're getting pretty desperate if this is the first strip I see

>>150378080
partial credit, because that's funnier than the actual solution

>>150378120
they've been desperate for 20 years at this point, most have been scooped up by national companies

>>150378219
I can't believe this was the first time I smiled at this fucking comic and it was because of a meme face

this is her Joker origin story

Was Calvin and Hobbes really that good, or are most comic strips just bad?

>>150378227
Them's fightin' words fucko

Meg will never forget 9/11

>>150378058
That monkey looks naked with some peach fuzz

third panel is the hardest I've ever laughed at this strip

I'm in this strip and I don't like it

sausage action? they can't show that on TV!

is this pro-AI? it's kinda hard to tell

>>150378488
Holy shit is that a motherfucking WAWA reference?

>>150378541
It's presenting the "AI as a tool" argument pretty neutrally.

lol

>>150378658
Bernice's critique isn't about AI so much as digital art generally

>>150378882
I love this comic so much

Oh NO! She's HOT!

another for the "Ziggy is existential horror" pile

bye!
more next week!
and every day in between, if you're ok with self-service!

>>150378058
Pretty sick coloring on that terrifying dragon thing, Ty. Almost looks like clay.

>>150379004
I was impressed by it, too. made me nostalgic for elementary school art class

>>150378814
So Jim is trying to construct his wife into taking her mother's shape, right?

>>150378046 (OP)
in my city I haven't see physical papers anywhere since around 2017, even the chink market were they used to wrap everything on newspapers now use some weird bags

>>150379094
That was an actual running gag when the original artist was doing the comic over 25 years ago. When the new artist took over in 2004 he immediately dropped the theme.

>>150379135
>When the new artist took over in 2004 he immediately dropped the theme.
Booo

>>150379157
There was a Rose is Rose thread a few months back where an anon gave a deep dive on the comic. The comic we see in these threads is made by a different artist and is a visual and creative downgrade from the original creator's version.

>>150378749
10/10

>>150378801
Maria continues to be all of us. (And someone over in the Rosebuds thread noticed that her hair shine doesn't appear until she brushes. Nice touch.)

>>150379225
Probably was SuprDee posting incognito. He's a Rose is Rose superfan.

>>150378058
That's a ... weighty matter.

>>150378541
so much for her bottom 128 trophy

>>150378227
>Bizarro of all fucking comics saying bushmiller Nancy lacked humor

>>150378583
you okey there bud?

>>150378058
>ending a question with a period
I hope someone got fired for that.

>>150378377
I hate this comic so much

>>150378719
These two are adorable

>>150378058
Its the only bird that would run instead of fly it's why out, because it'a flightless

What does this mean, Ray?

>>150378120
Thatababy has always been shit
>>150378398
the far side has always been good shit
>>150378541
Bernice is way hotter than Luann imo
>>150378703

this fag is rich but his comic sucks worse than Garfield now
>>150378719
i'd unwind my curly pig cock and fuck Marigold up the ass

Thanks, as always, OP (and the other guys, too).

The ostrich is heavier than the other birds so it sunk deeper into the mud.

>>150378488
This has the vibes of "How do you do, fellow kids," but we know it's being written by a "fellow kid."

>>150381155
>mountain fountain
>proceeds to name drop food brands

>>150381231
Doesn't help that this is the cutaway to what the boys in the cast are doing. This is their idea of bro-ing out.

>>150378488
Do you even know what a WAWA is?

>>150378058
Because his fashion sense is criminal

>>150378343
>if you don't think he was involved with molesting girls, you also must think he declined to molest girls. Gotcha, you gullible hick!
I genuinely don't get it.
I'm so sick of politics, I'm convinced anyone that can do this day-in-day-out has no soul.

>>150378517
why is one of the mwearing a fucking peaked cap, though

>>150378307
Curtis what the fuck.

>>150378541
Finger painting is the origin of all real art, yes. Pencils and pens and brushes act as a mere extension of those fingers- they are still guided and aimed and worked.

>>150382073
What's not to get? He was friends with him and his buddies during a time when he was known to be abusing girls, made exceedingly creepy statements about young girls, and is using the power of his office to hide his criminal activity when somebody who wasn't a pedophile would have just released everything and hung the actual pedos. He can't because they've all got dirt on him, and will drag him to the gallows on the way.

>>150378738
Boy, these comics are depressing this week.

>>150378902
that much ass shouldn't be allowed in the funnies

>>150383103
it's just a webcomic, it's not in newspapers.

>>150378364
Kek

>>150378256
Carlos!

>>150378488
This would be good dialogue in a comic book/graphic novel, but as a strip I'm just confused as to what they're going for here.

>>150378488
It's just Family Circus at this point. Matter of fact, here.

>>150378541
Utter horseshit, part of the reason Ai slop isn't art is because there's no human intent in the process. It's effectively a slop machine regurgitating existing art pieces, there's zero human effort in that which is part of why it can't even be copyrighted. It also isn't a "tool" by any reasonable standard, while digital art ALSO uses their own kind of pens, paper, and brushes.

I'm shocked Luann would stoop to fence sitting a topic so objectively one sided.

>>150384661
*slot machine
Though slop machine is hilariously fitting enough too.

>>150384661
I imagine it's because they are going to start using AI for the strip.

>>150382237
That's not what the comic is presenting. the comic is saying
>Can you imagine how it would go if trump said no?
>>hey come molest these girls
>>no
As though that sounds unreasonable. If Trudeau wants to make brainless commentary that only convinces people who already agree with you, he should switch to political cartoons. He'll be in good company, Horsey would love him.

>>150384764
No, he's literally saying "If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you."

>>150384727
God, I hope not. Imagining a Luann where everyone is a dead eyed zombie, unnaturally smooth and shiny, with a piss filter as the cherry on top makes me shudder.

>>150384661
>>150384727
>>150384866
you're really gonna diss my boi Greg Evans like that

>>150384866
I AI generate big titty Luann porn. I can't see why Greg can't too.

>>150386789
what about Bernice?

>>150386863
She's just awful. Honestly can't tell at this point if she's being written to be a jerk, or if the author struggles with writing her sarcasm without it being outright mean.

>>150385036
No hate to him, nor do I think he's actually actually going to use AI. I just think he made a dumb move in trying to make a balanced argument here. Even if the punchline is "AI advocates are as annoying as artists", it just sort of falls flat on its face.

>>150386789
You on the other hand, fuck off.

>>150387087
Half the time she's a snarky cunt and the other half she's a neurotic mess.and I love her for that

>>150387693
I'd fuck the shit out of Bernice to be honest desu

>>150378517
Uh Lio, that's a bit more than a mere skin condition.

>>150378315
Why can't both be true?
