Sure looks like one to me. "Ooh, I'm scarred, and I'm such an original wit on teh intartubewebzorz! Waah waah, 'Jacks' art is no gud anymoar, waah waah it luks liek anime even though it totally doesn't. Waah waah, I'ma start a whole new thread to insult the cartoonist some moar rather than just not reading the strip if I don't like it anymore. Oops, time for a diaper change."

In short, if I were a mod, he'd be banned so hard it'd reach back in time and make it so that he'd never joined in the first place.

Agreed, and agreed.

But there are ways of saying that (you did so quite nicely and succinctly), and then there's what Scarred's doing... I'm not sure what it is he's doing, but it ain't workin'!

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #13 on:** 03 Mar 2010, 18:57 »

I get what he's doing; mostly because I did the same thing in another forum once.

Cordelia, there is a little thing that we in the business like to call "jumping to conclusions." See, it is when you make assumptions based loosely on vague facts. This is what you have done Cordelia, and it is bad. I hope you've learned your lesson about jumping to conclusions.

I've always thought that Sinfest had amazing art. And Dresden Codak. Girl Genius, too.

But what is true, undeniably, is that the art of QC has shown the biggest possible improvement over the span of its existance. This is one artist who really, really works hard at his craft ad you have to admire that.

That's not really an answer, is it? Newspaper comics aren't bad per se.

BeoPuppy · « **Reply #38 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 04:55 »

Well, Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts ...

I think those two alone should be enough proof that newspaper comics aren't always bad.

akronnick · « **Reply #39 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 05:21 »

The last new Calvin and Hobbes appeared December 31st, 1995. That was fourteen years ago. The Far Side ended a year before that.

Not since Charles Schulz died and the last original Peanuts was published over ten years ago (February 13, 2000) has anything worth looking at appeared on the comics page of any major newspaper.

Dilbert hates his job. Garfield loves lasagna. Cathy thinks she's fat. Nobody understands Doonesbury. God only knows why Rex Morgan and Mary Worth are still running. The Lockhorns hate each other and Crankshaft hates everyone and everything, we get it.

The concepts are flat and repetitive, the jokes are hackneyed and predictable, and the format kills any and all artistic expression, experimentation, or innovation.

Not only is the product not worth going out of your way for, but to see it you have to pay around a dollar a day to have a pile of the lowest grade paper known to man delivered to you, the handling of which gets your hands and clothes filthy, and when your done with it, you have a seven pounds of garbage to dispose of.

Don't even get me started on the 'editorial' cartoons, which for the last year (at least in the States) have been nothing more than racist depictions of Obama and three thousand variations of 'It snowed this winter so Global Warming's not real.'

But no, newspaper comics aren't bad per se.

It's just that, like the newspapers themselves, they are only a shadow of their former glory, kept going at this point by the sheer force of inertia.

This is the Twenty-first Century. Why do people insist on clinging to what is essentially a seventeenth century medium?

Dliessmgg · « **Reply #40 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 06:10 »

Cartoons however were quite widespread (in Germany that I know of and especially political ones) since printing was invented, so yeah.

Carl-E · « **Reply #41 on:** 04 Mar 2010, 06:12 »

Quote from: akronnick on 04 Mar 2010, 05:21

...Nobody understands Doonesbury.

Speak for yerself. (well, I guess you did). I've been following Doonsbury since it started, with a 4 year gap between my local paper dropping it and it showing up online.

But yeah, most newspaper comics are like LICD without the sex. And the paper... oh, god, the trees...

And I think you meant 18th/19th century medium, there were very few papers in the 1600's - they were still using troubadours to disseminate information!

Internet killed the newspaper, but like radio it's taking its time to die.

Two really great comics from my newspaper back home (I think it was the Star Ledger?) were Frazz and Heart of the City
I loved each of them because they reminded me of Calvin and Hobbes, actually.
Frazz is this really smart, young janitor at an elementary school, and he reminds a lot of people of a grown up Calvin--although the author has stated that was not his intention--and the strip is about his interactions and influence with the students
Heart of the City is about a young girl and her nerdy best friend living in a big city, dealing with school and junk. It was great.

(Note: all in past tense b/c it's been ~2 years since i've read comics from my newspaper back home. I don't know if they're still funny or still running)

I don't know Lio at all, but Pearls before Swine has some good moments but it's pretty much three strips: rat is a terrible person, pig is nieve, or that one crocodile and his friends are really dumb

Lio is worse, as it's pretty much a one-trick pony.

A small child wordlessly does weird and fantastical things. It is more boring than it sounds.

Ooh, a question thread.

Here's mine: can we get some rising action sometime soon, preez?

Art is art, and it was fine, and it is fine, and it's been fine.

What I like about this strip (besides its thoughtful comparison of "New Helmet" and "Classic Helmet:" http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=245) is the drama.

Maybe Hannelore's non-consensual blood draw will break the holding pattern . . .
