By the way, apropos of nothing, I’m both relieved (and TBQH a little disappointed) that we don’t have Fritzi wearing a too-tight T-shirt with “Prodigy” ineptly lettered across the front.
In “The Painted Word” Tom Wolfe suggested this as the next logical development in art. He also imagined eventually finding in a gallery canvases blank except for a few grayish scrawl lines left by applying very hard leaded graphite pencils. He was not happy about such developments.
One morning I took my sister to the High Museum in Atlanta. She called me over, pointed to a canvas, and just said “WHAT?” It was the barely perceptible pencil scrawls.
I said, “Someone’s been reading Tom Wolfe. I’ll tell you about it over lunch.”
Here’s what I do: the expression is ‘if worse comes to worst.’ It is now worse than before, but it could get to the worst possible.On the other hand, I’m a huge fan of the current strip.
When a single post disappears, I know it could be that the original poster has removed it. Even the responding posts disappear in that case… at least I think so. I’ve gotten the impression that moderators sometimes remove problematic posts. It seems that the “squabble” posts are now missing. Whatever the reason, I like it.
And here is lit a candle to burn forever in memory of our erstwhile antagonist, Alex. He will live on in our memories until, like the phoenix of legend, he rises from the ashes with a new account handle.

I’m reminded of Ernie’s famous Labor Day strips.

Hey, why bother with drawing at all? Just write a bunch of words. And if you misspell one, just cross it out and guess again…

…Silver/Bronze Age comic book artists, Jim Aparo always used to draw women with the same – unpleasant – facial expression!

My first thought was “lazy” but this was actually a lot of work. Kudos!

If we had a sausage recipe along with the crack-brained whining, then worst would have come to wurst.

And if you mess up the entire strip, just tell GoComics to put “Nancy as not updated today.”

That isn’t how I operated at their age, past a clean piece of paper and redrew whatever I was working on.
