Heart of the city Apr 27

By on
On the Comics I Don't Understand (CIDU) blog, CIDU Bill posted about a change of artist / writer on the "Heart of the City" strip, which I had never heard of. His post can be found at:  https://godaddyandthesquirrelmustbothdie.wordpress.com/2020/04/27/seriously-why-not-just-start-a-new-strip/#comments and that title says it all - if you are going to change everything about the strip and the appearance of the characters, why not just create a new strip? The answer, of course, is corporate greed as the syndicate has an established name to provide to subscribing newspapers which is easier than trying to peddle other strips. Who knows - maybe nobody notices.  Anyway, there are a lot of posts today on the strip's board and long-time fans don't seem to be happy  https://www.gocomics.com/heartofthecity/2020/04/27 after just one day. Of course, on yesterday's board the pious Idiot pontificated with his usual dig at AO fans

Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 23 “Alley Oop Space Rebel” - "DEAD ASSASSINS" Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 23 “Alley Oop Space Rebel” (923) 4/3/2020 Friday "DEAD ASSASSINS" Parsecs away the super aggregate Lumbagan known as Am al-gum is worried. He notices there has been a major change in the current parameters of what is. When he combined they became one, and developed whole new levels of abilities and senses. Among them is the probability wave connected to the quantum underpinning of all that is. He has felt it and knows it is a major happening and yet with his boosted intelligence he has yet to figure it all out. But he does know a few things. Just as when the Haterakans suddenly attacked the mighty Terran Empire, whatever this is has that same level of possible change to most everything. This and other such abilities are useful, but only once he masters them. If he misreads he could possibly die. Lumbagans are tough customers and can simply re...

It is hard to believe but we have started the sixth year of the Jonathan Lemon - Alison Sayers team-up, which I affectionately call "Lemsay". Back on January 7, 2019, the first daily from this team appeared. It wasn't like the Benders, Jack and Carole, had set the world on fire with their plodding story lines, labored dialog, and artwork that became noticeably worse every day.  Fans thought that the strip could not get any worse but nobody knew exactly what to expect whne the Benders retired. The very first strip showed that things weren't going to be  anything like what long-time fans were hoping to see. The first panel (below) showed a poorly drawn  Oop laying under a tree that looked more like a modern era tree than anything like the swampy trees that had previously populated the Bone Age. We soon found out that Oop had been sleeping and had awakened in an alternate universe, a universe where the only difference is that this universe has no tacos. Hilarious, right...
