There's a link to this here comic in the premium section.
http://donjolly.com/?p=382 (http://donjolly.com/?p=382)
I like it, and I want everyone to be nice to Don. I don't want that "Internet messageboard" thing to happen, where people start douching their mouths off left and right.
I know Onstad's rules don't hold here but... um. OK. I am saying nothing.
-
Yeah.
-
It would be nice if I could make something out of the writing and the drawings. Other than that, it is a really good comic!
Alternatively:
Onstad is in awe at having found someone even better than him in the game of not giving enough of a fuck.
-
"It's a fiercely competitive game, Phil, I mean they're recruiting kids right out of High School these days, and the talent is phenomenal; I'd go so far as to say that not giving a fuck is entering its golden age. I'm very excited for the upcoming season."
-
Back in my day, the coaches would force you to EARN your not-giving-a-fuck by building up, caring more and more about everything until you finally couldn't take it any more and simply COULDN'T give-a-fuck, after years and years of strength training to exhaust your ability to care about anything. These days, kids just outta middle school, they're letting 'em toss around ennui right from a dead stop.
Gonna throw out their arms like that.

Man, back in High School, I new this guy who was definitely going for the pros. But then he tore his TLDR ligament and couldn't walk more than five steps without his knee caring. Pretty soon, he just started caring altogether, became a civil liberties lawyer. We still have friendly games on the weekends, but you can tell his head is totally in it, he's giving 100%, which is a terrible thing too see. When we pass a bum on the street, he tries to look the other way, he really does, but you can still see his hand twitching to reach for his pocket change. The other day we watched one of those commercials for orphans, and he had to excuse himself to the kitchen. He said it was his allergies, but I could tell. He's slowly losing his ability not to care.

Moon and Sixpence is a nice bar.
There are darts there. Metal tipped darts.

It used to be really smokey there. Now you can't smoke in bars in Oregon.
I think I lost my point...

It is serious, but there are cartoon kitties, but it is serious. My brain 'sploded.

A) So far this is really excellent; and
B) It's cool because it has real St Louis references.

Lackadaisy is the Minnesota Fats of webcomics. It is the limit, to which all others must take what they possess. Of those who have dared to go, so far none have come back alive. In the comics business, they call that strip "Widowmaker".
-
I don't think I like (web)comics.
-
Harlock, your comic doesn't suck.

I'm in the same boat, I think. Achewood is like the one friend I have who allows me to say defensively that I'm not bigoted.
-
Harlock, your comic doesn't suck.
Seconded
-
Harlock, your comic doesn't suck.
High praise!

give me the grenade
i can't
why ?
philippe is standing on it

I had only seen a couple of Lackadaisy strips (work is hell these last weeks). I just slapped the link in this thread to make a point about that other guy's comic not even trying, because I was absolutely floored by Tracy J Butler's drawings. No one should be that good. But yesterday I managed to read the whole thing and... Wow. It might be that for me at least, the best strip these days is still about ruuude felines - but it's no longer Achewood*.
* - That might just be the shock, though. Strip is hella slim still, and it oughta grow rather slowly, given the amount of work the artwork demands...

Psst. Lackadaisy updated.

if you guys keep suggesting good stuff on the internets, ill probably continue to grace you with my presence.
wait....... nevermind. you did not just read that. [[jedi mind trick]]

It has updated again. This woman has some serious narrative skills. I just love how she keeps providing glimpses into all the rich backstory about which we still have so much to know...
Also: Mordecai, what a great (scary) character. Watch out for explicit violence in the form of axe chops to the shins, 's all I'm sayin'.

Lackadaisy is indeed awesome. Why did I wait so long to click on that link?
