>>21964 Klasky Csupo's style worked very well in the right contexts. I think Rugrats was one of those contexts, because the whole world was supposed to look kind of weird, because it's through the eyes of babies, and everything is weird for them. Also they themselves are pretty weird and gross when you observe them, and that's part of the show. The only times I really think their style looks weird is As Told By Ginger, since that show tries to be slice of life realistic stuff. A more realistic style might have worked better. Then again I don't like that show anyway. On the other hand, Ahh! Real Monsters! is a perfect fit for the style, because it's monsters, it's supposed to look weird. >>21972 I think they're all supposed to have flaws, but Angelica's parents are the only ones that are really bad. Stu is too childish and sometimes that results in irresponsibility, but it also results in him having a great bond with his kid. Didi is very well intentioned but represents all the problems with parents who try to parent from a book, listening to academics who are ultimately just talking shit. Chaz is obviously loving and protective, but his extreme protectiveness results in his kid being a scared little nerd. Phil and Lil's parents get less focus but it seems like maybe they're too lax and thus their kids are little weirdos. On the other hand, you have Angelica's parents, they work too much and don't spend enough time with the kid, but when they do, they spoil her with too much undeserved praise (perhaps because they don't spend enough time to build a real relationship and treat her with more nuance). Then when they do lose it and finally punish her, it's over the top, and sometimes she doesn't even deserve it. There are a lot of episodes of Rugrats where Angelica was being bad, but then she gets punished for something completely unrelated, or something she actually didn't do. Or times when she really didn't do anything but gets punished anyway, because the viewers understand she's a little cunt and deserves it either way. But it makes sense for the parents' characters regardless. Rugrats is deep. But every season after 3 gets progressively worse, and the fact that they've managed to make the new stuff even worse than the 2000s-era seasons is almost impressive, because those 2000s seasons were already awful.

>>22007 It was alright after the first movie and Dil was around but pretty much everything after the second one was ass. I mildly enjoyed All Grown Up for some reason, despite it being diet As Told By Ginger.

>>22030 Naw, even Season 4, before Dil, was a big step down. The show ended after Season 3, then several years later, when execs saw it was doing well in reruns, they revived it, but it was a clear step down. I'd still say Season 4 is perfectly watchable, and it's easier to group it in with Season 3 because it doesn't have extra characters, but in retrospect, if you're watching in order, you can see the difference. And then it gets worse with every subsequent season. I can tolerate the Dil seasons but I don't think anyone would say they're anywhere near as good. Then after the second movie they introduce like four new characters and it becomes really damn obvious that it's a different show. They also changed the format in some seasons so it's three 7 minute shorts instead of two 11 minute shorts, and that doesn't help things at all. By the later seasons they introduce even more main characters, and I don't think many people are even aware of that because of how bad the show got and how unwatchable it became. And then it smoothly transitions into All Grown Up. All Grown Up sucks, but it honestly isn't much worse than the already awful final season of Rugrats. And then it got even worse when they brought it back. It really is a shame, because it makes people forget how great the first three seasons really were.

>>21946 Oh, I know. Nothing gets the party started like mutual outrage and mockery. I saw this on a comics download site and knew, from the moment I saw the cover to this abortion, that /co/ would want to see it. I should dump it on /pol/ next and watch the knishes hit the fan.

>>21948 >I should dump it on /pol/ next and watch the knishes hit the fan. i don't think that this /pol/ is very active, i miss 2012-2014 8/pol/

>>21983 This one IS pretty low energy.

>>21754 Quite good. It was enjoyable. The premise was intresting and the new characters were fun and enjoyable. Go check it out.

>>21683 not many people these days are familiar with Asterix unless a) you're from France or in Europe where the comics are still in circulation, or b) If you're in America or elsewhere, you've only known Asterix from the older films.

>>21905 I grew up in Yuurop, and Asterix cartoons would be on TV often. That's how I was introduced to the OG comics.

>>18972 Its either TMNT, Avatar or Spongebob.

>>17748 >I'll give you two hints: he's much more unique than the other guy and his sister is the hottest girl in his show. I figured it out. I hope his finishing move is "Omlette du Fromage"

Merry Christmas /co/

I hate the passage of time so much. Not only does it slowly eat away at my lifespan, but it also erodes my ability to feel enjoyment.

>>21537 >and I wish for the next year to be even better. Wish denied

I want my youth back.

eyy, happy new year fellas

>>1886 >end in Athens. Makes me wonder why does it end in athens? It's supposed to do something with Alexander the great, bit he was from macedonia, not athens. So why doesn't the ending go to Pella? Are they just retarded and don't know history?

>>21352 >Are they just retarded and don't know history? *ching!* NUMBAH ONE ANSWER ON THA BOARD!

>>896 >>697 >>5914 Realistically only thing people will remember about scoobs is all the Latina Velma porn it spawn.

>>21623 idk man, his works look pretty basic too and I'm friends with some artists who actually worked in orthodox churches so this does not come out of my ass. But even if his biblical illuminations were good, converting that into a comic is a whole different beast. It requires completely different techniques unless you want to tell a story in a way specific to reading church interior frescoes with all of it's wacky layout and transitions.

>>21624 Gotta admit, even though I like eastern Christian icons and art I'm still too new to it to have much taste in it. Is there anything particular you'd recommend besides just visiting Orthodox churches? >unless you want to tell a story in a way specific to reading church interior frescoes with all of it's wacky layout and transitions See, if someone actually managed to pull that off that could be interesting, but I'm not sure how accessible it would be.

>>21626 >Is there anything particular you'd recommend besides just visiting Orthodox churches? Your best option would be befriending an Orthodox artist/illuminator or art historian specializing in it. Because to value and judge orthodox art, you really need to understand how it's made. It's a weird combination of pure technical skill, tradition (canon) and artist's creativity yet still walking on the edge of what is canonically acceptable yet new. You can't measure it objectively such as "this has more colour" or "this one has better anatomy" >See, if someone actually managed to pull that off that could be interesting It could be pulled off, but that is a very, very niche interest which requires very high skill in both illumination and comic design, tho I wouldn't be surprised if it was already done. Remember, the frescos, mosaics and reliefs on the portals and the walls of churches should together tell a story as a big sequential art piece, much like a comic. You could say that frescos are predecessors to comics, much like Roman triumphal column are predecessors to frescoes.

>>20887 Okay, boomer.

>>21503 Any 90s X-Men title will have some variation of it. Same for Image ripoffs of Marvel books, like Youngblood, Wildcats, Bloodstrike, and Cyberforce. The Hulk ripoff you mentioned is called The Pitt. The term Dark Age and complaints about quality of comics books mainly apply to Marvel and Image titles anyway. DC dabbled in this a bit with darker Justice League, and death of Superman, but to a much lesser extent. At the same time DC was publishing decent Batman titles, started Vertigo, and put out great titles. Starman, Spectre, and Kingdom Come are just three examples of these books. A lot of great creator owned comics cam out in that era too. Hellboy, The Crow, Sin City, The Bone all started in the "Dark Age" era. In fact, if you ignore Marvel and most of Image's output, that period is unquestionably better in regards to comic book quality than anything that came after.

>>21503 Anything Liefeld I guess.

>>21572 And that's it true believers. It was a pleasure storytiming for you all and I hope I can do it again next year. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I wish all of 8chan a wonderful new year!

>>21432 "non-Calarts style." It doesn't have that newfag, its your typical funnypapers style.

>>21421 >>21420 >>21419 You're like an archaeologist discovering the Rosetta Stone. I can't thank you enough for this find.

>>21435 Are you really this stupid, or is this one of those attempts to say a lie so big that people think it must be true? Anyone can look at it and see. Just look at it. Yeah, looks exactly like Ziggy or Marmaduke. Gary Larson should sue for plagiarism.

>>21259 thank, you, id say that that is a she and if anything as mentioning by >>21265 she is trooning "male" here are the pics of the troon in question i mentioned where you can see the feet think i spoke off, last two are a bit iffy because it cuts off, but you can tell the angle

>>21348 the feet thing*

>>21348 I'm trying to stop drinking Rageahol™ these days, but one of the most incandescent rageaholic episodes I suffered was watching Rand Paul go after this faggot about forcing parents to let their children transition. This piece of filth refused to answer and just ran out the clock, which is an admission of "yes, we're coming for your children." Of all the crimes that can be laid at Biden's (and his controllers') feet, giving a fellow pedophile unfettered access to an entire nation's children is one of the most egregious.

>>21161 >John Byrne happens to be the guy who made it canon that Reed Richards met Sue Storm when he was an adult and she was a child I am not in any way suggesting Byrne isn't a complete deviant, but my little brother had that issue and Reed appeared to be 17-18 at the time, (boarding with the Storms while attending college) with Sue being 10-11 (hard to tell because Byrne always draws kids as dwarves). Sue got a crush on him, which is fine, that happens, and Reed appeared super uncomfortable with the whole thing. THAT SAID... It's absolutely disgusting that he'd even consider a relationship with her when she came of age. I knew a young girl who appeared to have a crush on me when I was a teenager. She came of age, and was very beautiful, but all I saw was the kid who cut her Barbies' hair with safety scissors and threw a shit fit when her mom told her should couldn't get a popsicle from the ice cream guy in the summer. I can't imagine a real-life Reed could have met Sue 10 years later and thought "Hubba hubba!" There's also another horrifying wrinkle to this: Reed's fiercest competition for his wife is a man who fought Nazis in WWII. Sue seems to have a type.

>>21162 You call it disgusting, but that age gap was not at all uncommon until very recent decades. Also, Reed and Ben also fought in World War II originally. They just sort of don't specifically refer to what war they fought in anymore.

>>21175 >You call it disgusting, but that age gap was not at all uncommon until very recent decades. It was pretty gross back then, too.

>>21165 Tired and dead. The fate of all shows that are not canceled when their premise grows tired. Big Picture Show was a good send off. Right now you would probably watch >EEnE Higher EDucation With them in college or some shit.

Ever heard of The Simpsons?
