Hello, Storyteller.
There has to be some reason why slice of life holds an appeal to so many. On paper, it's like, why would you read/watch someone just living their normal life? But in practice, sitcoms, daytime drama, Persona games, etc, it's dirt common because people like it. We need psychologists to run some studies on this.
Hunter Edwards
People are curious about people, I guess. And the most dramatic and plot-foxused things will themselves spawn thousands of what we call 'curtains fic'
Evan Thompson
Parker Richardson
huh, just got a Cloudflare blip
Kayden Robinson
Jackson Hall
yeah, this would be something of a scandal. and there's a long tradition of wastrel siblings in politics!
Julian Brown
comfy
Michael Taylor
I don't think it's really different from why people like any genre, I know as many people who can't stand any sort of SOL as I do people who won't read anything else.
I think there are just people who are really interested in characters more than plot or action, and seeing, say, superheroes in their off time is much more humanizing and offers more room for characterization than seeing how they handle Big Pissed Punch Man From Space.
Thomas Cox
I see. Well, curtains fics do make some logical sense. The desire to see dramatically focused characters in a domestic setting as a fun exercise, and just for the sake of some variety. Hell, certain obnoxious cretins keep bitching about how everything being epic and serious is annoying, so...
>tfw I would read the shit out of an issue where Diana and Steve take a walk in the park or something
Jaxson Collins
Ed Koch went to the Inner Circle show one year in a gold lamé bodysuit with a mechanical pigeon on his head
>interested in characters more than plot or action
that's also very true
Lucas Bennett
Hey OP.
I caught up on the storytime I missed!
Jeremiah Smith
HI user
Angel Ortiz
how are you owls tonight
Blake Hill
I refuse to believe Heroes in Crisis spoilers even when I read the issue
The only complaint I had about The Power Broker was it wasn’t a book that went into depth of the city in the 70s dying. It ended with Rockefeller
Juan Ortiz
Josiah Martinez
Comfy shit is for mongoloids with brain damage and emotionally stunted overgrown children
Xavier Fisher
>interested in characters more than plot or action
I am definitely one of those. It's like, the plot and fights are all well and good, but it's all going to fall flat if I don't care about any of these people.

Earlier today, I made the mistake of getting into an argument with some Star Wars fans! I had the utter audacity to point out that Star Wars has always been dumb as fuck, and that Disney has not done anything to it that wasn't already present to a degree, and that maybe their constant whining is a just a smidge unwarranted. That was "fun".
How was your day?
Cooper Williams
I just don't know anymore since it breaks so many basic rules of storytelling, and I would be eating crow for giving King the benefit of the doubt.
Hangin' in there
Parker Lewis
:(
I planted a bunch of plants, which was great
Also, it has always been true that no one hates Star Wars like Star Wars fans
Luis Mitchell
This might be the most baffling series DC ever published.
Dominic Sanchez
I hate how Star Wars finds a way to creep into every Internet argument on Earth. Fuck Star Wars.
Austin Bell
Honestly it’s fascinating regardless of quality. The book is so weird
Ayden Gonzalez
Star Wars, like Game of Thrones or 90% of comics are made for kids and grown ups get really angry over them
Jayden Perez
Jack Baker
Carson Carter
Those books and the TV show with the sex and the murder are for kids?
Levi Roberts
I mean, I like Star Wars, kinda. The Clone Wars was really good, and the movies are fine. But I just don't understand how or why anyone can't get THIS, um, passionate let's say, about it.
These people get more angry at The Last Jedi than I ever got at Other M. And yes, that is saying a lot. Chill the fuck out, folks.
Lucas Clark
Julian Gray
Angel's such a kidder
Parker Watson
What's the most baffling thing Marvel's put out? Besides Marville, and the millar stuff
Xavier Martin
WELP
Nathaniel Garcia

This comic is fuckin' great.
Parker Sullivan
She looks like something out of a Clowes comic
Cooper Gonzalez

Mason Sanchez
I wish the scans had the letters pages so we'd get all the WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? outrage
Hunter Johnson
Eli Foster
Landon Clark
The answer is loneliness, user. People read/watch about what lives would be like if they weren't wholly and deeply alone.
Isaiah Davis
Oh, NOW you put a mature readers label on it. Took you long enough to catch on. Was the cocaine not a big enough clue? The incompetence of DC editorial is truly timeless. Goddamn.
Nicholas Richardson
William Edwards
Was the vertigo published American Splendor any good?
Camden Ross
Last panel is another solid exploitable.
Connor Collins
This comic is made of exploitable panels above and beyond COCAINE?, and I think that's some of why it works so well--every page has something chock-full of character
Nolan Walker
>I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!
Elijah Taylor
Sometimes it was up to the writer if they wanted the label or not. Ostrander and his editor refused it when they started The Spectre in the 1990s because they wanted a wider audience.
Berger probably slammed the hammer down by this point.
Blake Hill
Aaaaand we turned the page to this, holy shit
Daniel Rivera
>gag me with a spoon
Back to soundtracks, then?

Grayson Morris
yes that's why the sell toys
Jackson Jackson
Still cruddy. Slept poorly, achy all day.
Robert Barnes
Mary Beth looks like a sex doll.
Liam Thompson
Elijah Morgan
Oh fuck, she was her dad's sex doll.
David Harris
The content of this issue was probably the final straw, and none could blame her for bringing down the hammer, because...
... Holy fucking shit.
Joseph Gray
This was published as a Special which means it was almost certainly already cancelled and this was the "wrap up the plot with a few extra pages" given to it
Man, if the Sidekick Store were still around I'd go hunting for paper copies, alas it is dead.
Jackson Rodriguez
>PL: So, for a couple of years most of your work is doing maintenance work on existing titles. Some fun stuff: we got to work together on Legion of Super-Heroes, during some of the best work that I did. An incredible editor to work with; she would find—
>KB: Right after The Great Darkness Saga. I started on #295.
>PL: She would find where you went off the rails in the process. Not where she wanted it a different way, but where you weren’t achieving what you set out to do.
>She was clearly a restless creature, and this was a time of experimentation. The direct market was emerging, we didn’t quite know what it would be; the newsstand was disappearing. There was a lot of freedom to invent new titles as the House of Mystery sort of things were disappearing as creatures of the newsstand.
>You did some early experiments that we look back on with great fondness, that are much more viable for today’s diverse audience than they turned out to be at the time. Angel Love with Barbara Slate, which was a sort of modernized Archie, and Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld, which was—
>KB: My favorite.
Kevin Gomez
>I'm gonna commit a felony, who can help me?
>Oh, I know, my Black Friend!
Nice racism, Angel.
Juan Gray
100% that page. That subject matter is also in the first issue of Moore's Swamp Thing that Berger ditched the CCA for
Caleb Flores
Kayden Bennett
Andrew Garcia
Benjamin White
Angel's psychotic smug face is great.
Eli Jones
LOLOLOL
Carter Evans
Jayden Williams
Again, this last panel.
Levi Jones

Levi Garcia
Kayden Butler
No wonder her dad abused her!
Asher Jackson
Shit, their mom murdered their dad for the bad touching.
Logan Martin
>no one wants a congressman with a shady past
Yeah, everyone knows that's for presidents!
Landon Brown
That's a very possible reading!
Isaac Ross
This guy's character design is so out of place. He looks like he belongs in a '50s MAD comic.
Adrian Torres
Gavin Diaz
Parker Kelly
Bentley Johnson
Jack Nelson
>tfw that Superman Family cartoon was cancelled in favor of Harley Quinn
Well, shit. It looked legitimately fun too.
I do wonder if the book suffered low sales because of the mature content, since people got really pissy about this "kids comic" having adult themes. Much as capes make everything else irrelevant, it wasn't quite so bad at the time.
Parker Brooks
>LOLOLOLA
fixed.
Samuel Gray
50s MAD is amazing
Brandon Kelly
all MAD magazine is
Dominic Adams
Easton Kelly
that's totally a Michael Jackson suit there
Landon Turner
Jonathan Garcia
whoops!
Kayden Evans
Disagree. There'd be been fallow periods. And the movie/tv parodies were rarely good.
Leo Taylor
Wendy is such a Connecticut girl
Noah Perez
Jaxson Peterson
Halpern (the Harley showrunner) doesn't even think the show will ever come out
Evan Myers
d'awwwww
Leo Miller
third panel could make another good reaction image
Ryan Murphy
James Moore
Not surprising. That show was announced like what, five-ish years ago? Like, shit or get off the pot.
>and you're a Peppermint Patty!
... So, she's a tomboyish closet bisexual? Yeah, I can see that.
Logan Lopez
Jonathan Ross
Welll....
David Campbell
>just saw play that was an edgy version of Peanuts
>somehow Patty and Marcie ended up as valley girls instead of lesbians
Total missed opportunity
Thomas Murphy
Mom's dead, isn't she?
Anthony Parker
Jeremiah Price
Juan Ross
Blake Rogers
Okay, 1) how do you screw that up? It's right there. Come on.
2) The fuck is an edgy version of Peanuts? Nobody wants that.
Dominic Watson
Gabriel Morales
Hudson Long
It was basically an anti-bullying PSA where Schroeder and Charlie become gay lovers until Schroeder kills himself from being bullied.
It's actually not quite as bad as it sounds though it's often up its own ass and starts out with some edgy shit.
It's a college production, my sister played an institutionalized Lucy
Carter Reed
I like Spy vs Spy
Zachary Rogers
Marcy and Patty being gay is a total misread of their mutual love of Charlie Brown.
And Marcy turning retarded is a betrayal of her identity as 're smart one'
Carter Brown
Jackson Smith
>) The fuck is an edgy version of Peanuts? Nobody wants that.
He says, as Riverdale is The CW's top rated show.
Benjamin Bailey
>these letters
Andrew Nguyen
Ah.
>Schroeder x Charlie
... Sure, why the fuck not.
>spoiler
Oh, I see what you did there. Dramatic irony and whatnot.
Eli Bailey
There's a joke where Marcy accidentally reveals her power level and has to play it off since smart people get bullied in this school.
I'll miss her
Christopher Jones
SO: we are on tomorrow and then off until late Saturday at the earliest.
BfB, or Gen13?
Wyatt Moore
I vote for PAIN.
Caleb Reyes
It'll be spread-out pain, though, since we won't get through it in one go, I don't think
Adam Taylor
Battle for Blüdhäagendasz
Carson Wright
And it ends on a bittersweet note. Wouldn't expect anything else, really.
We love you too, Angel.
At least Archie has precedent for that in the comics. Life with Archie and all. But Peanuts? That's a stretch.
Luis Howard
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.
Angel Love is criminally underrated, and deserves to be more well known.
Battle for Bludhaven is only six issues, and we are due for an SoP. Bring it on.
Mason Jenkins
Everett was an only child, isn't he?
Blake Gomez
Somebody get /k/ in here.
Jose Johnson
I need to leave for now.
Sorry.
Aiden Phillips
This should be on the CW with DCs other shows
Adam Lopez
By the way... the hater isn't the problem. He couldn't care less about it to be honest, he just ignore it (besides the hater suffered a big shock right now, so... he is not angry at all, in fact he understands it). But he has another life, work, etc. So he leaves and he returns when he can do it. It's not that dramatic.
Busy
Parker Mitchell
Uhhh, what?
Julian Hill
Bravo! Thank you so much for posting this. That was seriously great.
Ryan Flores
The Riverdale parody was golden, but only because it was a sequel to the old Starchie comic.
Jacob Miller
Thanks so much OP
I love you
Matthew Wood
Thanks, OP.
Ian Parker
MAD was okay-ish through like the 70s or so. And it didn't really turn BAD until the 90s.
Leo Bell
bumping for others
Daniel Lee
lol
Gavin Cruz
It didn't really go bad until after it started using actual outside advertising.
Samuel Baker
one more bump
John Ward
Good morning.
Joshua Hernandez
This looks like it was made in the 90s yet still uses 80s lingo.
Mason Butler
HOLY SHIT this went from a 2 to a 10.
Jonathan Martin
That was a fun little storytime. Thanks for that user.
Zachary Baker
Is there a download link for this series anywhere? Archive hunting didn't work out.
Nathaniel Ross
Looks to be readonline here readcomiconline.to
No clue if that is whole run.
Matthew Rodriguez
I said "download". I'm not supporting RCO in any capacity if I can help it.
Christopher Butler
poke tonight and I'll try to zippy it

Is late 80s-early 90s NYC an aesthetic ready to be rediscovered?
