I told someone yesterday to watch out because today’s SuperFogeys has a lot of text. His response? “Dude, I can read.” Fair enough.
This is the info dump that is not an info dump. I actually am a fan of exposition (I like just kind of getting on with it and moving on to the meat of the story), but I recognize it can bring a story to a grinding halt. I try to have fun with it as much as possible. Writing my version of a talking head, political, MSNBC/Fox News gabfest? That’s fun. Great clues in here to the way the world’s changed during the missing year. If you’re lost, don’t worry. We’re still in “food for thought” mode. Just enjoy the ride and you’ll be fine.
We find Michelle in a new spot (with a new wardrobe!) in today’s strip. Wondering who she is? Look no further than right here.
Starting tomorrow: concept sketches and details on some more of our new and returning characters. See you then!
Please tell me that Chinese food place on Clovis and Kings Canyon was made it through the battle in one piece.
It is well and good. Also, what? How have I not heard of this place and never eaten there?
Up until this comic’s existence, I would’ve found it impossible to find Suckface’s good side. Kudos to mass media for finding it. And kudos to the artist for rendering it here!
He’s a dapper, dapper man. In the right light.
It’s good to see Michelle is alive and well
(all things considered of course)
Alive, yes. But wherewith The Captain?
Well that the media for you … Often twisting the truth a bit.
Nice to see the two girlfriends of the Captain working together for a common goal.
Does the media ever get anything truly right? During the few times I or my family has been on the news in some way, small facts were represented poorly. Makes me wonder how accurate anything we see really is.
Well, it’s nice to see some thing didn’t change with the alien conquest. *insert joke about the death of fair and unbiased news/journalism here* I thought it was a very well done and piece of exposition. Quite subtle actually. It reminds of of something a professor of mine said, that the only thing the media enjoys more than building up someone as a hero is tearing one down.
Too true. We’ll see the media’s bias and propensity towards her worship/destruction more in the coming storyline.
Time to break out the spray paint and leave reactionary messages like “What about Tom?” on the ZBC network building.
I agree with all the comments on the Media so far. But in their defense, how long do you think they would live if they were honest and not towing the party line? Remember, they’re Network “journalists”, not Pajama Media (who are able to file their reports on the move at any internet access).
