Still drawing comics. One of my regular gigs is on hold atm, so I'm kinda getting worried about money, though. I'm ok for now, but still...
You?

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
A buddy got me started on Kakegurui Gambling School. I can’t say it’s helped me become a better gambler, but I think it’s taught me something about what gambling actually is and how much I have to learn.
Take poker. This is a game with rules. But apparently, once you get good enough, once you have those rules internalized along with the probabilities involved, you begin to play on a separate level that isn’t really about those rules at all. Now you’re playing a game of bluffing and psychology, of strategic raising and folding, of tells and I-know-you-know-I-know. And that in some sense, it’s these things that comprise the “actual” game of poker, and the mechanics about straights and flushes are just there to enable that. But the mechanics could be anything, really, because at a certain level of play everyone’s mastered them equally.
Does that make sense? I’m just speculating, as there are no card games I’m actually good at, and I can only infer this through anime.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
I am not a gambler, but I've known some professional poker players and know a bit about some other gambling games. The short answer is "yes, you're basically right." And a longer answer is based on the fact that a lot of the details are game dependent. Even if we're just talking about Hold'em, online low-limit poker can be very different from in person (high limit?) poker.Mechanical Ape wrote: ↑Wed Jul 24, 2019 12:49 pmDoes that make sense?

Some people have been confused why Bluto in "Popeye" was known as Brutus for a while. Well, here's a long thread about the history of Bluto/Brutus
Let me just say, IT GETS WEIRD.

Re: Garfield (Garbage) Dump Thread Episodie (?) A Nermal Dump
I finally finished reading the 1st volume of the Bobby London "Popeye" comic strip.
The final storyline in the book had Olive Oyl brewing a coffee that is so toxic a power-hungry general snatched it up as a chemical weapon in order "to wipe out communists in South America".
However his troops never even made it outside the city. Sea Hag snatched it up and used Olive's radioactive coffee to create a smog that turns people into mutants who love nothing more than to eat junkfood. Not only that, the smog wiped out the town's entire supply of spinach.
Popeye and others follow the smog back to Sea Hag's hideout. He proceeds to steal the espresso machine she was using to create the magical evil smog and takes it to Sea Hag's sister, who tells Popeye to grab some necessary ingredients to reverse the spell.
The Sea Hag realizes what happened, so she followed Popeye and, realizing he's weak because he hasn't had spinach in a while, KILLS HIM BY STABBING HIM IN THE BACK.
Except...Popeye's spirits comes out of his body and goes to fight the smog monster himself and destroys her magical, evil espresso machine, ruining Sea Hag's plan. After defeating her and turning everybody back to normal, Popeye goes back to his body, somehow coming back to life despite having a knife on his back.
TL;DR: Popeye is kinda weird. Keep in mind that I didn't even cover every WTF-aspect of the storyline (including a sequence where Popeye fights against a KKK stand-in full of short people who are prejudiced against tall people)

Lyman is proof that you don’t need personality when you’ve got the mightiest facial hair on God’s green earth. Too magnificent for the mortal plane, he ascended to Mustache Valhalla in 1983, where he holds court alongside Kaiser Wilhelm II and Hindu ascetics.

If I have to name one comic strip from the 1980s that fascinates me, it's "Arnold"
Why does he have exploding coathangers? It just raises too many questions
