  • I’ve remarked this before, but I find it kind of unsettling how careless / sloppy Gallagher has become over the years in drawing Orangecat.

    I’d guess some of that simply reflects his slackening attention to artistry, detail and original ideas over time, but it almost seems like there’s more… such as actual contempt towards the main characters or comic as a whole. Sort of like the opposite of clear-line geniuses such as Ketchum and Schulz right to the end.

    I tried searching for annual subscribers just now and found nothing, but I’d be kind of shocked if the newspaper count hadn’t gone down in recent years due to the strip becoming more incomprehensible (even annoying maybe) to the average reader.






  • Love you @Rolando@lemmy.world, but I spazzed out recently after a full year of pressing too hard for a ‘post per day,’ and I feel like I dishonored everyone here when I melted down recently. (I’m super-embarrassed)

    So I appreciate the mention, but regardless of how I embarrassed the community, I can’t aim for one scholarly post per day, anymore. I just can’t. Sorry about that, matey.

    Now I do plan to keep on posting as the mood seeks me, but I just CAN’T keep the community popular like this, all on my own. Even just a little bit of help would go far.

    Ugh, sorry for all the bitching and moaning. :S
