this opinion might make me a crotchetty asshole but

Bizarro, while occasionally amusing has always struck me as like, a second-rate Far Side that only exists because The Far Side isnt around anymore

  • nah this seems pretty accurate
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    second or even third-rate
  • We can do anything if we do it together.

    This is way kinder than what 90% of the people in the thread I get it from think
  • i assume that they are constantly calling for the cartoonist to be sterilized or something
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    still too kind

    The guy who does Bizarro is a center-left vegetarian and occasionally he puts his politics into the strip in a way that's generally not funny and occasionally vaguely dumb in a "millennials these days with their safe spaces and 500 genders" and they tend to read into even the non-political ones to have bad political messages

    Also GoComics is howling for his blood, but that's because the comments section there is all weird uncles

    Oh you mean a different thread.  I was gonna say I didn't remember seeing our thread throw the kind of vitriol at Bizarro that we typically save for Working Daze or Gilchrist.  Or even say much about it at all.

    Oh Myr hates Rose is Rose so much
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    justifiably so

    So much

    Probably less than the previously mentioned shitshows, because Rose is Rose bothers to draw backgrounds and afaik is not drawn by a pill-popping sexual predator

    My problem with RiR is that the artstyle feels very, indistinct

    It's too busy and can often take some puzzling out, it's not... really suited to a newspaper comic format?
  • I mean I hate Rose is Rose because it's literally nothing but shallow glurge.  Like, shallower than actual cartoons made for kids.
  • it's got

    schmaltz
  • my mom liked it the few times it was in a newspaper we had on hand. I think that says a lot, given my mom's taste in things

    (hint: she thinks God's Not Dead is the best movie of the past 25 years)

    Rose is Rose has Biker Rose though

    embrace the confusion
    I keep reading updates to this thread because I keep forgetting it's about a webcomic I've never heard of

    I mean biker rose strips are better than the rest but they're still usually not like, good
