I love foxtrot

I don't think these are bad, actually. Better than the crap most webcomics spew out.

...

It's amazing how good Foxtrot has managed to stay given that it's been going for almost 30 years.

Yeah. On that note:

This is one of my all-time favorite webcomics.

Foxtrot is pretty meh. I regret spending some of my young life reading that comic everyday.

>Comic
>you read it on the Web

And your problem is...?

Why would you regret it?

>two lol threads up at the same time
why is this allowed

>Actual Comics
>call them webcomics
>Can even see the literal pages in the C&H images

Kill yourself.

I am comparing the actual comic to webcomics you Sup Forumsermin.

You mean 3?

I spent of my money on his comics when I could've spent it on manga. I mean his comic was the best in the papers, but it's not saying much when it's not really that great at all.

But I will say that the one part of Foxtrot I do still like is the Summer Camp arc.

Because you are on the wrong board? The only video game boards are /vr/, /vg/ and /vp/. Hell /tg/ is often more video game than Sup Forums. Blame Sup Forums wanting "board culture" whatever fuck that means beyond wanting to be shit.

I read this as a kid and believed Calvin when he said they'd understand when they grew up. Now that I'm older and I get it it's like a punch to the gut of my tired old feels.

I'm bummed Bill Amend only went to Sundays. Probably needs more time to play the latest game, or spend time with "family".

>This is one of my all-time favorite webcomics

When people talk about using humor to say something meaningful this is the kind of thing being talked about.

A fact lost on the vast majority of webcomic hacks today.

>A newspaper comic strip that's actually sort of in touch with modern culture a little bit
wow

I still have the Foxtrot comic about pre-ordering Brawl pinned on my corkboard somewhere.

Man, that was a long time ago.

Man I still have like 12 Foxtrot books lying around my house, I should give them a read this weekend.

I remember one strip had Blue Watermelon bubblegum with Godzilla on the cover and I'm sad it will never exist.

This one's actually good, though.

But there's no humor in that comic. It's debatable whether there's anything meaningful, either. It's mostly just preachy and caters to pseudo intellectuals.

One for genuine lols and the other for ironic lols

you seem to be confused

Rereading Calving & Hobbes as an adult was great. Lot of shit I couldn't understand as a kid,but the comic was good enough that it was enjoyable no matter your age.

Newspaper comics have been dying for awhile. Newspapers themselves have been dying for awhile. Look at all of the major papers who (within the past 5 years) decided to only print 3 days a week. The comics section has continually shrinked since the 70s, and newspapers drop strips left and right.

I don't blame him for focusing on Sunday strips. Here, he can put all of his effort on one strip, and know it will reach the largest number of people.

To be fair, he's in tune enough with modern trends to likely realize the old model for comics is dated (and so it would be silly to bust his own nuts trying to keep up with the traditional daily strip), but he would not transition well to some sort of webcomic model of income (unless I'm unfamiliar with someone else he's working on?).

No one said it was bad. Foxtrot is actually pretty decent.

Bill Amend is one of those guys where if he was born later than he was, he would've done webcomics probably. He's just part of an older generation that snuck into the traditional comics model before newspapers started dying off.

I don't necessarily share his tastes in webcomics, but he definitely keeps up with webcomics and the folk behind them.

I am referring to the first reply, which is me. You are quoting two different anons.

I just realized how much I miss reading the Sunday funny papers in the morning with my dad right before church.

...

time for another one-off

>Amend made a television appearance on The Screen Savers, which aired October 20, 2003 on the former TechTV. Amend is also an avid World of Warcraft player, but refuses to reveal his character's name, although he did mention in an interview with Allakhazam (a World of Warcraft fan site) that he played on the server 'Bronzebeard' (Jason is often shown or referred to playing "World of Warquest" in the strip).[7]
Bill Amend seems like a pretty cool guy, I miss those daily story arcs from Foxtrot (like when the dad went through the worst business trip ever).

...

Calvin & Hobbes is truly one of the best comic strips that ever was.

Foxtrot isn't a webcomic, faggot.

God there's so many little things in this series that you don't pick up on until you're older, I should really buy that nice boxed set sometime.

>antiSJWs post this one C&H strip over and over and over in order to prove it's TOTALLY REDPILLED BROS when it's incredibly liberal

You know, Calvin and Hobbes is probably the reason for my cynical worldview.

Stay mad snowflake

Oh yeah baby here we go

...

i have nothing to do for the next 15 hours

>mfw foxtrot still exists

Me neither, don't stop.

...

>one of
There's literally nothing else that's even on the same level. I mean what comes close? Peanuts? Nah son, c&h blows every other comic strip out of the water.

It's actually unbelievable that since c&h' debut no other comic has been able to emulate what watterson did. Think of how other mediums have progressed and how they usually stand on the shoulders of giants and build on top of that. But with the comic strip medium it feels like no one can even build a ladder tall enough to get up on c&h' shoulders

US GAMERS HUH

Ah, I recognize that. Good taste in hentai, my dude.

>ignoring jim davis

No wonder youre shoved up his ass

Jim Davis remains to this day the most relevant and poignant to read

WHERE IS THE JOKE

portal reference :^)

These comics and other like them didn't predict the future, and it's silly to think so. Whiners have always existed, just under different names, human culture is very cyclical like that

...

Isn't this the very last strip?

Foxtrot's legit, not my favorite but always good at least

...

...

until we meet again

DUDE LASANGA LMAO

Name one memorable Garfield strip

You're both cool guys. I'd hang out with every male lead the guy writes, they're all bro as fuck.

Are we gonna do this again for real?

Nobody really tries to emulate Watterson though. And it'd be pointless to try.

The general population wouldn't "get" the joke here in this day and age. Hell, they didn't get it back then either. The most the common man got out of C&H was the superficial aspect of the occasional strip where Calvin is creating havoc for havoc's sake.

Jim Davis is a weird case. He specifically designed Garfield for market appeal, and to be able to milk as much money as possible from the property.

Granted, I'm not saying that's necessarily some horrible thing. The goal of a career is to make money, and it's nice when an artist actually cares about the art, but a person still needs to live.

Bill Watterson was kind of weird in that he actually saw comics as an artform, and refused to allow licensing of the comic for merchandise, even to this day. Any of those stickers you see of the character are bootleg. If he was a webcomic artist these days, people would probably deride him as "being full of himself", but I actually sort of liked this about him. He cared about his work.
