Aren't newspaper comic strips only colored on Sundays?

>>86773135
It's cute that (You) think that.

the sad thing about this is that there are probably people who actually feel this way, or will read this and suddenly agree with every point because they saw it online.

It's like when some idiots said Star Trek wasn't progressive because they applied it to today's standards and not the standards of it's era.

So where'd you copy paste this from?

>>86775710

This is such a good point.

What is this, a fucking Cracked article? Take your listicles back to the five paragraph essay format, you mewling little bitch.

>>86773135
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Bill Waterson should have cashed out, even if just a little bit. He'd be a fucking billionaire, rivaling Charles Schultz

You must be numale millenial nigger faggot for saying this. Low energy bait friendo.

>>86773271
seriously this angers me to no end every time I see it. that isn't bait, it's just a fucking hook.

>>86773135
>Frazz, Pearls Before Swine, and early Sinfest strips
Literally who?

>>86773135
I'll take the bait.
5. What writer doesn't run his mouth through his characters?
4. most of the strips didn't need color, either.
3. Like it or not, the walls of text were fun reads. The hill strips weren't ever boring IMO.
2. Most peoples' names are completely generic, too.
1. Come on now.

First post is best post.

In theory the ball at the top of the hook could be the bait.

Well the art style isn't exactly original

>>86773135
That's not what an egomaniac is.
Everybody wants their opinion to be heard despite evidence that nobody wants to hear it. Case in point: (You).
Stopped reading there btw.

>>86777306
Yeah it triggers me a bit too.
Besides trolling was a fine term.

i got a good laugh out of #2
don't worry anon, there's still people on this board that like jokes, and don't write everything off as "trolling" or "bait"

The joke is that he's peeing on Shulz's name.

Why did they change the pee splashes for that one?

>>86778207
>The joke is that he's peeing on Shulz's name.
I get that, but using the famous bootleg image that sells like hotcakes to do that is ironic. I'm just wondering if it's ironic on purpose.

>>86778225
Yes. not that it matters

>>86777306
It triggers me because pointing out that something is bait is still taking the bait.

>>86778232
I don't think you understand what he's saying. By using that much-hated knockoff art to represent Calvin & Hobbes, it ends up looking like it's meant to make Calvin & Hobbes haters seem stupid; it's using something that isn't even drawn by Watterson as an example of his art.

It's the difference between making a clever jab at detractors in support of C&H, and just flat-out being retarded.

>>86773135
>most strips aren't even colored

Are you even trying?

>>86778383

>implying pointing out a mousetrap is the same as sticking your hand in it

No it's not, also the proper response when someone points out bait is to not respond to either post.

>people respond seriously to this
Beyond redemption.

>>86773135
t. Mr. Enter

>>86778462
In this case, replying to bait at all IS the equivalent of sticking your hand in a mousetrap. You're giving them replies, which is all they're looking for. Honestly, the OP is probably a copypasta and he'd have no idea how to continue the charade if someone genuinely fell for it.

>>86778492

That really depends on if OP is the type to actually read through his own thread, or just say "xx replies? Lol they're falling for it!"

>>86778389
>what is nuance
This is a big problem I have with you Watterwankers. You act like things can only be played straight or "lol isn't what im saying retarded". What the editer intended doesn't matter either.

>>86773135
its not, go throw yourself of a cliff.

>>86773135
This is some long ass BAIT.

Maybe the OP's less about bait and Calvin and Hobbes and more a satire of bad criticism frequently leveled at other less nostalgic comics.

>>86773135
holy shit that is some shitty bait

>>86780374
you son of abitch

>>86773135
I know it's bait, but I'm curious OP. Did you write this yourself or just take it from some asshole's blog?
