Re: Creepiest Strip.

It could be argued that the bird strip is creepier, since that bird never tried to get rid of her owners.
dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria

Whenever I read that strip the twilight zone theme song pops in my head.Private Elliot wrote:OHH.
Makes sense.

Why is everyone talking as if creep and funny are mutually exclusive? Apparently no one here liked Invader Zim.

I liked it, actually. Truth to be told, Vasquez conceived it to derive fun from creepy as well as downright disgusting characters and situations.Sleet wrote:Why is everyone talking as if creep and funny are mutually exclusive? Apparently no one here liked Invader Zim.
Liam makes a lot of sense, but is, in my opinion, overthinking the comic.Liam wrote:I liked it, actually.

HP on the other side is, if I'm not seriously mistaken, not intended to be a second Invader Zim. Granted, while Rick introduced more dramatic story elements over the comics run it's still a gag-a-day comic based on cute personality traits, an overall light mood, moderate furryness and deriving fun from these.
But those two strips pose a quite big mood whiplash in my eyes. Out of nowhere come cats who imitate the cheap methods of arousal usually enacted by even cheaper Playboy wantons (the pillow fight stuff), one of them looking lasciviously over to Peanut, allusions to "certain activities" after Grape joins them, culminating in Peanut cooling down his neither regions.
Don't get me wrong, neither am I going ballistic about this or want to offend Rick or anyone else here, but even though they're canonically teens this goes against their personalities (they still have a rather child-like, naive side to them) and the comic's overall tone. And to be frank, there are always extra points for creepiness due to the worry over the possibility these elements could re-emerge and slowly take over the comic like the corruption observable in various other furry comics derailing into oversexualization.
While I believe Rick to be stronger than those misguided individuals, the possibility remains that the general approval of these two strips and the views they represent could lead to the inclusion of further such occurences in the story, what would always be detrimental to the comic.

No, i know what comic he's talking about...Sleet wrote:The last panel of the comic where Grape joins the barn cats in their slow-motion pillow fight.
Like i said, it's a inside joke between me and my brother.Sleet wrote:Oh. Usually it means "I don't know what it means, but am going to act like I am."
i just noticed how funny peanut's mouth looks in the first panelcopper wrote:I find it creepy that this is how animals think of humanity and their clothing. Also the no pants thing.

They don't need to wear pants, for they lack risqué parts.copper wrote:I find it creepy that this is how animals think of humanity and their clothing. Also the no pants thing.
I remember thinking the first time I saw that panel, "... what's wrong with his fingers..."exranio wrote:The fur covers it. Just like sonic characters.
