Sunday Funnies – LOLs, September 15th, 2024

Grawlix has shared as a CIHS (Comic I Haven’t Seen) this instance, called “What’s New?”, from the strip Poorly Drawn Lines by Reza Farazmand. Grawlix sees them from time to time on Facebook, but the strip also has a website; and warns that “It does contain NSFW language from time to time, unfortunately.” Oh, and we have been unable to establish connections with musician Badly Drawn Boy.

But, another county heard from…

Not quite a CIHS, but truth to tell I’ve been looking at it rather inattentively for a while. This one made me stop, and wonder about the apparent mésalliance. Well, a little rewinding, and checking the “About” blurb, informs us that Little Pig #3’s Girlfriend is Wolfette, and is sister to the actual Big Bad Wolf — who in this retelling is still pretty bad.

Useful among the online comments — “Relationship Status: It’s Complicated”

CTYHSB: Back in the Day

I was not aware of Eric Scott’s strips, just his panel drawings, so I thought these might make a nice “meta” CIHS post. However, I quickly discovered that “Back in the Day” has already made several appearances at CIDU, so rather than squeeze these in as “comics that I have not seen before“, I decided to re-classify them as a “Comic That You Have Seen Before“. Enjoy.

CIHS: Suburban Fairy Tales

Here’s another CIHS: Comic I Haven’t Seen. The idea here is to sample comics that are unfamiliar to the CIDU readership, for better or worse (Hey, that’s not a bad idea for a strip name.)

The idea of Suburban Fairy Tales is to take familiar characters and riff off them in a somewhat modern environment. In this case, we have the wolf and the 3rd little pig from The Three Little Pigs, a story some of us might be familiar with. Francis Bonnet, the cartoonist, has made a career in art and design, working as a graphic designer and cartoonist for over 20 years. Available at Comics Kingdom

CIHS: Comic I Haven’t Seen: Wannabe

Bob commented a few days ago that he’d like to see “room for fresh ideas … a Comics I Haven’t Seen page spinoff”.

This seemed like a good idea, so we are going to occasionally feature comics that at least one editor isn’t that familiar with, and that haven’t shown up on CIDU much. Some of these you will like — with others we will save you the trouble of investigating them further.

Today’s inaugural edition features Wannabe, by Luca Debus, available at GoComics.

Wannabe focuses on the lives of three main characters: McKenzie, Andy, and Margot. … McKenzie has no idea what she wants to be, but she knows exactly how to reach it: through the magical powers of social media. Andy wants to be a playwright, but has no idea how to become one. And Margot is completely lost, she doesn’t know what she wants to be, nor how to get there.”

There’s definitely a Gen Z vibe here, but with a bit more problem-solving than, say, Dustin.
