I'm surprised by how much I relate to some of them despite having no military experience. It's the same feeling I get from listening to black comedians.

Does Beetle Bailey counts?

I generally don't like military comics for the same reason I never really enjoy hearing funny stories from people in the military: because 95% of the stories are mired in the atmosphere of the military and more intended for people who have been in the military. Even though I can understand what the joke is supposed to be, it's obvious that it's 10x funnier if you've ever been part of some military branch.

Plus they're damn near always the same joke about some hardass CO coming down on some hapless recruit and forcing them to do something ridiculous because they fucked up somehow.

>>91673732
Terminal Lance is still going?

Hasn't he not been in the military for years

>>91673732

And why would I want to read a comic about fascist pigs and baby killers?

>>91674818
He's gonna make money off of it with general military news and knowing the mindset of military members who are sick of the bullshit

Terminal Lance is pretty hit-or-miss but I like the author a bunch.

I'm not personally in the military but I've always grown up around military folk so I can kinda dig the comics. I personally like Terminal Lance simply because he depicts average military personnel as bored shit heads that constantly fuck with each other and cause problems. From my experience that is pretty spot on.

No joke, I used to be a member of my country's recently-militarised Forestry Guard. We've been reorganised this year from independent police force into a branch of the Carabinieri, our Military police, and I was laid off in the process. In a way, I guess that makes me a military reject too.

You can make that complaint about ANYTHING that has a slant towards any part of society. You could have made a much shorter post that just says "I don't like this since it doesn't interest me."

>>91679941
the joke is deeper than that. there are times when you dont even feel sorry for yourself anymore, you feel for the safety of the fucking nation when you understand how military minds work

Having the police be part of the military is a bad idea in and of itself...

>>91673732
Yes, one of my favorite scenarios.

I think there's something about seeing how different people behave and deal differently in a universal situation that pulls me in. The fact they're usually all in standard uniform and appearance due to the selection process helps, basically the writer relies purely on the characterization selling the characters and ideas rather than eye catch character designs or such doing the work for them.

Also reading those /k/ stories where boys must be boys regardless of how serious the detail has given me an itch these sort of comics help scratch. It's a reminder that the cheekiness of the human spirit can persevere no matter the circumstance.

Oh god. Reminded me of when I got a care package from my dad while in BMT. Fucker thought he was funny as fuck. Four decks of cards, $50 worth of quarters, nickles, and dimes, two large bottles of hand lotion, and roughly 70 pictures of my niece. My niece doesn't even look like she's a part of my family. She also has some odd condition to where she looks way younger than she really is. She recently graduated from college and looks 12.

It's a strange thing trying to explain to very angry people why your father sent you hand lotion and a bunch of pictures of what appears to be a little girl.
