i'm bad
in both demeanor and general quality
Alright so for the one person who actively read this shit (probably SuperIdiotMan00) here's an explanation as to where I have been for the past couple of months.
I had decided to take a short hiatus caused by the fact that I didn't want to waste money buying the paper every single day for the purpose of doing this thing.
This hiatus before I knew it morphed into six months for a variety of reasons:
1. General severe procrastionation caused by a. the need to calm down after a day of freshman college work and being demanded to do it, as well as the fact I was signifigantly more into the tackiling of edit projects.
2. General lack of interest in the comics as a whole, from what I had read of them in the time since I no longer considered them worthy of criticism, just...BAD. This is largely due to the fact that most comics that jump out me as being "bad" nowadays...groan...try to take on social manners. Ones that I had in person been debating in detail
So why the hell am I bringing it back?
Well the one thing that still after all this time had been fascinating me was just how goddamn long we'd been without a change, any change to the comics in the NYDN, the last one having been in 2013 (incidentally the first year I tried to make a blog about this kind of thing). I promised myself if I was to ever start doing this full time again I would start it when a change happened.
Well this is it.
After five years, one of the comics "Soup to Nutz" might be going away.
Nothing is written and whether or not this means a new strip for me to analyize, and therefore get pumped about doing this blog again, is unknown, but still the mere prospect is enough for me to want to do this again.
Secondly, my dad showed me there was an app to just get the NYDN comics included. I had always thought this app was text-only but that ended up being how HE personally chose to read it. You can get the comics there.
So between that and the fact I already have two riffing projects "Raster Reviews" on YT and a private one on a fandom Discord, there's no excuse.
Let's get started.
...unfortunately, given that the app excludes comics on Sunday only due to not "technically" being in the paper (a pull out) we must resort to using the pirate method
although this is not a "proper" update I will just for the sake of getting ready present what would have been the worst had this been one:
this gets it from the cunting first panel alone. What is supposed to be pinning him down. The D clearly has enough space to let him down. The 3 for no discernable reason grew a tumor in the bottom right just to implae him, one which also makes it look like hisn head and left arm got torn clean off. was it that hard to make it an average sized D.
