He's at point blank range. He isn't missing any shot he takes. That's the joke.

How about Lt. Fox /co/? What did he say?

Is Blacksad good?

/co/ has a weird relationship with furry content, so I never quite figured out if anybody actually likes it.

>>92783259
first story/issue is the stock pulp/film noir story, done well enough, hits all the cliches

now that that proof of concept issue is done im game to see where they go with this

also the art is good

t. not a furry

>>92783259
It's pretty good noir. Artic Nation and Hell is That Noise are the best two stories.

>>92782891
Is the toad guy purposefully modeled after Trump or is it just a coincidence?

OH fuck off, I read a bunch of issues from this series. In that story, the story depicts both classic sides of Racism (White Supremacy and Black Supremacy) as fuckin' retarded. There's a scene where a bunch of black miliatants try to recruit him at a store and the leader walks up trying to paint over his white muzzle with some sort of black paint; he responds by pulling a gun on him and says something akin to "smear the beauty mark, and I'll shoot your right where you stand".

Waifus. Attractive ones. The huge red lips just don't look right on the women in Blacksad.

>>92783300
you're the one saying it

>>92783259
my updated impression is that the writing is terrible, the art pretty good but mostly just excels at drawing background art and action

also this >>92783448

maybe if i was a furry id enjoy it more

>>92783500
What makes it terrible opposed to just good?

>>92783526
>What makes it terrible opposed to just good?
big difference between those

the plots are cliche and stuff i've seen a thousand times, and when they aren't its just dumb like the nazi stuff

only read 100 pages/2 issues but i dont care to continue

>>92783500
The writing isn't terrible, just uninteresting outside Arctic Nation and Amarillo. It lacks a certain execution only American and UK comic authors pull off.

Rereading the white supremacist story is incredibly relevant in this day and age. There's a little side story with some destructive black animals and Blacksad has to put them in their place because they're making his job harder. It also has a wonderful scene where someone basically calls Blacksad a nigger and he points to white muzzle and says "This isn't enough?" And then there's the wonderful scene with the rich tiger's retarded son and Blacksad is like "A little race mixing is healthy" while dirtying the dude's white shirt.

Fuck, someone story time this shit.

>>92783300
He's a smug asshole businessman with an army of yesmen who gets away with murder and is untouchable because of his fabulous wealth. Insert that into real life people as you will.

>>92782891
a general lack of tails

>>92783424
>>92783520

Blacksad don't take shit from nobody but at the end of the day he's a literal black panther and fucks up whiteys.

>>92783590
He's a black cat, Mr. Magoo.

There's a grittiness to Blacksad that few comics touch, especially when it comes to portraying animals as humanlike beings.

>>92783559
Can you give me an example of a comic that you feel is middle of the road writing wise. Something you would consider hits all the marks to be a good story and excels at nothing?

>>92783658
Not that guy, but The Hell, The Silence; From the Shadows; and the third volume.

>>92782891
A new volume.

>>92783647

Oh man, I love that scene. That little detail to prevent Blacksad's pursuing hitiman from just being a generic danger.

>>92783724

Wikipedia says that new volumes are out, but the English translations haven't even gotten a release date yet.

>>92783300
Trump wasn't this turtle-looking when this first came out in 2000.

>>92783741
It says they were supposed to be released in 2016. No word on if they actually were.

>>92783718
Sorry I was asking that guy specifically because what is terrible in his opinion is pretty middle of the road for me. If what he thinks is just good is great by my standards then I was going to inquire what he'd qualify as a great story. Either that or what he qualifies as good isn't really any better than Blacksad and I'd suggest that he might be being a contrarian.

It's kind of confusing; in the first book it's the difference between mammals and reptiles what's supposed to be the parallel for white and black people; but in the second book it IS about white and black colored animals, and not only furry ones either

batgirl was this for me, the original run with cass cain

had interesting premise to the character that drew me to read it, similar to black sad with the animals + noir, but at least in the first issues before it went on to be generic capeshit it was really interesting and had plots that really took advantage of cass not being able to communicate with other people

right around the time they deus ex machina'd her some talking ability is when it ceased to be interesting to me, this when she "forgot how to read body language and forgot how to fight" because of it, such bullshit and an asspull im still butthurt

t. original guy

Grit's about more than just a handful of pretty fucked up events. It's about a consistent tone, as embodied by that image you're replying to. It's about groups of men in smokey rooms, casual dress being being buttoned collared shirts and suspenders. Everyone in a room looking at a guy. A kind of tension in the air and the setting. Blacksad has a lot of these sorts of things just running in the background of its stories. Working men just getting by in a world that's not really anything but cold world of flaws. It's noir.

Usagi Yojimbo had some real shit, don't get me wrong. But whereas Blacksad is noir grit, Usagi Yojimbo is bushido tragedy. Pretty much every character suffers from a combination of circumstance and propriety. Doing the proper thing even in the face of cruel adversity. Usagi himself is defined by loyalty to a lord who's dead, love to a woman who married someone else, a son he can never acknowledge because of the rift it would draw with the man who raised the boy from a child. We see more of it with Usaji, but most stories have some variation of tragedy in their characters.

But the tone of it isn't really gritty. It's more mournful, kind of classier in a way. Bad things happen and people move on, because that's karma, ne? Grit's about the seediness of a life, an omnipresent kind of shitshow that has no real class or Buddhist meaning. Just people living in an imperfect world. A kind of affected realism to make a story seem more real by focusing on the moral failings of people trying to make it and the imperfection of the human endeavor.

Well we can't also forget he also organized the kidnapping and accepted murder of a child, then also made the murder on the child's mother, then fucked his superior's wife and had HIM murdered.
