I miss going to the library every weekend.
Dammit :( Do not ignore the warning Randy included.

I remember back when S*P used to put some actual attempt into being funny, before it turned into the author’s mid-life crisis art therapy.

That’s tragic. I’ll never forget it for Rocks fall, everyone dies.
Meh. My response to Zylon’s response was a rolling of my eyes. I imagine writing “for a lesbian you suck a lot of cock” jokes would eventually get old and you’d want to branch out a little. The style/focus of the humor may have changed but its still there in the vast majority of the strips.

Ah. Well, you know, other than THAT ONE strip, I never really read it.
So… not missin’ much.
Meanwhile, Gunnerkrigg Court’s Wednesday update was stellar. Just about how I’m feeling right now, too…

Ah, but we have now read a couple of her children’s books: King Baby and The Princess and the Pony.
The latter is an absolute classic.

Yes, those are great, if getting hard to find. King Baby has made some great gifts to new or expectant parents. And I hope it won’t be long before Beaton’s next book comes out
The strip has been hinting/showing for a long time that Davan’s father was on the decline. The decline appears to have reached its inevitable conclusion.

I usually dislike reading unfinished comics, but I decided to make an exception with Kill Six Billion Demons. I love the art, and love syncretism going on, with mix of western and eastern influences.

Kate Beaton is coming out with a book in Fall 2022. It’s autobiographical and she had previously published elements of it on her Tumblr page. She’d mentioned it on Hark, A Vagrant! but it is certainly a different project. Ducks: Two Years On The Oil Sands.

Awesome. I never realized what a joy it would be to have a daughter who could appreciate her children’s books.

Somehow I stumbled across this and it is very amusing. Not sure if a WebToon is a Webcomic or what?
