I'm reading the ones on that page that updates them a few days later in some other format.

That one is pretty cool too.

Well, since it's been brought to our attention that Yale updates this Tumblr account before the comics show up on the site we had been using, I guess there's not much point in choosing to remain one strip behind the world just for reasons of attachment to the old site. So ... on to the new Tumblr, I guess!

JL8 #157

Spoiler: show
Necessary build-up but not really a particularly funny comic. Per members' earlier speculation about a Bruce x Diana angle, it will be interesting if Diana secretly has liked Bruce all along and thus the two best friends finally are in the love triangle that Karen had feared they were in from the very start.

It would also be interesting (if sad ) to see what developments happen between Clark and Bruce if this does play out and if Clark discovers Diana's true feelings.

Man, though. Bruce likes Karen likes Clark likes Diana likes Bruce ... what a love square that would be!

Another good strip. Although man: why does Barry have to be such a dick in this instance? ^^; I guess Bruce should have known better than to expect help from the enemy.

It's going to be torture if JL8 #159 doesn't reveal the letter's contents. I doubt that'd be the case, but ... @_@

I assume that Barry's father is Jay Garrick, the first Flash. Can anyone confirm based on the hair color + eye color combination? We haven't much else to go off of. ^^;

I love the fact he keeps bringing Blue and Gold into it, even if just in the roles to Those Two Guys.

> xkcd

That's a lot of cattle

JL8 #162 was pretty incredible. Sometimes I feel like Yale doesn't say too much in certain strips, but other times -- like with this strip -- I am impressed by just how much he conveys in so few words and drawings.

Also ...

Spoiler: show
It's seeming likelier and likelier that Diana is actually attracted to Bruce. Her interactions with Karen ever since Bruce confessed to Karen have seemed to be more than just not wanting to see Bruce get hurt because "he's our friend." There's this subtle feeling of jealousy present, of "Why are you even dating him if you don't like him? Bitch. Let me date him. I like him." But it's subtle, subtle enough that we're left to doubt whether it's really there or whether it's all in our heads.

Karen is a fun character as a reader, but in-universe I don't yet see the appeal (besides looks) for either Bruce or Clark. Hoping that Yale will do more to develop Karen on that front in the future. He may not though: after all, Karen isn't exactly partnered off with Batman or Superman in the DC Universe afaik, and so she may just be there as a precursor to our eventual Helen of Troy (Diana) who sparks the Trojan War between Bruce and Clark.

Or I could just be reading way, way into a comic about the DC superheroes as little kids. That too.

Oh, and just so Muyo doesn't panic: I'm through JL8 #163. Just didn't have anything to say about that one.

I want JL8 to be an animated television series or an animated direct-to-DVD series.

One that they don't fuck up.

Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.

For the past month or two, I haven't read most of the old web comics that I'd been following for years. Among these was xkcd. But today I decided to catch up on all what I'd missed. I enjoyed the Lorenz project, and he had a few other strips that produced an internal smile, but this one was the one that was good enough I wanted to share it:

I did like that, it spurned a good debate in my pub about how people who think they're libertarian are almost always just selfish twats. Not necessarily a true genralisation but an amusing on.

JL8...

Spoiler: show
...gives us a brilliant essay on the differences between various Green Lanturns. I think this camping arc is going to be good.

I had not been expecting {character} to show up during the camping arc. In fact, I'll be honest: I'd completely forgotten about him period. It's interesting to see how Yale ...

Spoiler: show
... decided to make Sinestro the same age as Hal given Sinestro was Hal Jordan's mentor. I would've figured, had I remembered Sinestro even existed, that he would've either been a) an older kid or b) a full-grown adult. Maybe he is still an older kid and we just don't know yet. (After all, being in the same troupe doesn't have to mean you're all the same age afaik.) But the kids all look about the same age, so I'm guessing Yale's decided to have Sinestro be Hal's age equal.

I agree that this arc is probably going to exceed my initial expectations. I'd been much more interested in the Bruce x Karen side of things than the Hal & Friends Go Bigfoot Hunting side of things, but it's looking like this story arc could wind up being every bit as good as Diana's birthday party.

Also: can someone explain to me what is happening in Cel #10?

Spoiler: show
I assume that that streak is supposed to be snot/phlegm, but the size and position don't make sense: it looks like a meteor approaching Guy (with its tail closest to the treetops and its nucleus closest to Guy) rather than snot/phlegm leaving his body (in which case we'd expect the nucleus to be closer to the trees, the tail closer to Guy).

If it's not snot/phlegm, then what is it? It doesn't appear in any of the other cels.

Made me imagine a kindergarten class full of kids dressed like this. I think it would be too much for some people to handle. Source.

Bonus comic, because everyone loves Pokémon.

Bonus comic #2 because everyone loves dinosaurs.

Not sure if Level 30 Psychiatry has been said yet but it is very funny, and I definitely reccomend it.

I'm not sure what I just read but this Thermohalia comic feels like a true work of art. At least the first chapter does anyway. *presses onward*
