Bloom County has been "back" since last year, and I keep forgetting to read it.

Thankfully, I just found an RSS feed!  And I created a hidden room called "Bloom County" to receive it.

I realized it was back a while ago after I posted that. It seemed to get a lot of activity in G+ because of the election.  The date in the link of that article is from last year.   Thank you for including it. At one time I had things like that in my newsreader, but I don't bother with RSS anymore.  I am glad it will be appearing here.

Subject: Commitstrip (The comic formerly known as We are coders)

What is CommitStrip? One day, a bunch of developers met an illustrator. The result? CommitStrip – a daily strip recounting funny anecdotes of life as a coder mixed up with a dash of topical tech news. It’s the kind of thing we think developers will like to read between two cups of coffee.

 

I like that comic, although they are working mostly in web dev environments, the customer relations and the team communication are similar to other computer jobs.

It's a hidden room. You have to enter its name explicitly. From then on it will be in your list.

Years ago I used to read "Sinfest" ... it was funny, but I think I stopped reading it because of all the devil stuff. I don't quite remember now.

I'm reading it again now. He's going in HARD against corporate fascism.
It's pretty awesome.

Hello!

Ok, I have a question for ya.

How many of you used to be fans of Marvel comics?

And then, how many of you stopped following their comics due to their inclusion of propaganda in their comics?

My father used to be a hardcore fan back in the day. Supply of comics was very tight in this country and it was hard to find and read a whole story arc. He built his collection since he was a kid and has very fond memories of his comic-related childhood.

He left comics a few years ago because they were so political. I think he feels like they have soiled part of his identity.

He still reads the old ones.

I was a pretty avid collector - been to a few ComicCons. Had subscriptions. My collection goes back all the way to titles that have a cover price of $.10/$.15... and is probably worth a decent chunk of change. 



I was pretty heavily involved in the ComicsGate community on Twitter for a while. 


The whole industry is pretty toxic at this point - and the people on the right side get so busy fighting among themselves they forget who is the real enemy who has destroyed their industry. I have zero interest in modern comics - and most of my younger friends who had started to really get into comics have abandoned the hobby because of the propaganda and political bias rampant in the industry. They just wanted to read about super heroes doing super hero things... not about SuperJustice Heroes constantly fighting for diversity, inclusion, tolerance and rejection of the cultural values of the patriarchy. 

 

Here is my collection:

I have an anime question. My youngest started watching something called One Piece and all my other kids are upset with me because “he shouldn’t be watching anime”. I watched a few clips of it. If I kept watching I might have died of boredom. But what’s so bad about anime? I ask him, he said there’s no sex in it, there is some violence though. 

ciplence.

Last i heard anime was not about sex, hentai was, but i dont claim to be an expert in either. Only thing Japanese i follow is a few music bands, like Band Maid.

I am not a One Piece fan but as far as I have heard, it is not worse than most cartoons out there when it comes to violence.

And damn it, when I was a kid I watched cartoons about mutant sharks fighting evil and the like and nobody thought it was a bad thing XD

There is plenty of hentai anime, but One Piece is pretty clean except for some violence as already noted. It's very popular in Japan.
