Let me know if you can see this. Still trying to figure out how imgur works. But anyway I'm at my parents house, and I saw the newspaper open to this comic and thought "wtf"

http://imgur.com/a/OiQQ0xP

I have no idea what the context of this is. If you can't see it, it's just 2 panels with no dialog. Shows a car screeching past Luann and her friend who are hiding in the shadows like in an alley or something. In the 2nd panel a body is dumped out of the car and the girls look scared

Pretty much. They were following or being followed by some killer or creep from what I recall, basically getting into some deep arc.

Ofcourse the paper my parents have gotten for decades decided this week to refresh their comics section by reducing the total by 30-35% and replacing half of what they have with "new hotness" because that'll bring in the new subscribers.

Talking the loss of wizard of id, BC, beetle bailey, blondie, luann, arlo and janis, hi and lois, and various others.
So it's like a total cock block and made people mad. you can get 'bonus features' on the virtual version, I kid you not.

Imagine following a serious comic through the funnies section of a daily newspaper, two panels at a time. Sounds like a nightmare lol

I remember when I was a kid we used to get a paper that had Spider-man in it. And one week all that happened was Spider-man and Daredevil swinging through the city talking. Day after day. I guess at the end of the week they finally arrived at their destination or something.

It's usually 4 panels and not always serious. Like the time Luann bought a skimpy glow in the dark pair of underwear and got asked by her friend who it was for, then she's in the item return line completely disappointed.

A few times I've honestly looked at Prince Valiant and thought "y'know, I kinda feel bad for not following this" because look how much effort is put into the visuals. It's so... detailed.

Prince Valiant has been going on for over 80 years, surely it's nearing its end. ...Right?

So what happened?

Don't know. That was Friday's. I actually asked yesterday about it and my mom said they don't get the paper on Saturday. Maybe something big happened today for Sunday but I haven't asked yet

I think the Sunday comics tend to be their own thing, separate from the weekday/Saturday storylines.

I checked in the link above. This storyline has been going on for a while, but the Sunday comics are completely different.

Sunday comics are submitted several weeks in advance, so it's pretty hard to have them sync up with the dailies

Any comments on that Tundra comic next to it?

Don't find it very funny. I've never read that series much. Supposedly the creator lives in Alaska though, which is cool I guess....

But I have never been a fan of it. I haven't followed daily comics in like 20 years or more. But the only ones I ever really cared that much about were

The Far Side
Calvin and Hobbes

I always liked when comics did something serious

I remember a Foxtrot where the daughter was at a party with someone doing cocaine and being pressured to try it

Which was really weird for Foxtrot

That's a Sunday comic, which are their own things.

Bill Watterson about this in one of the Calvin and Hobbes anthologies. Monday-Saturday comics are submitted about 2 weeks before they run and Sundays are closer to 2 months. Also not all papers run Sunday comics, so very rarely is it worth it for a cartoonist to coordinate a Sunday strip to a story line especially when not everyone will be able to read it. Things might of changed in the decades since then, but they all still follow the different story for Sunday convention.

I remember sometimes these comics would have dramatic "serious" ongoing storylines so maybe it's one of those?
They do. That's obviously what's going on. You can tell the people that never read newspaper comics.

IIRC in the treasury I have, Bill Amend (the author) said he was asked to do that series to show that drugs/booze werent cool.

It's from the original comic book version of Spider Verse. Was a completely different plot from the movie. That bad guy is going around the multiverse eating every version of Spider-man
