And, at times, feels like an acknowledgement of the ways capitalism makes life harder for people. It hits a reality that I really don't see portrayed elsewhere. Which is a warning over this strip, Fixed Odds Betty, that was shared on Reddit today. It has ruined my day and yet I find it incredibly funny. Barney Farmer and Lee Healey are a brilliant combo, it's quite dark and grim but humerous in it's own way. Quote
Ro_y Disco Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Most of my Viz reading these days comes through the annuals. My father-in-law has got in the habit of buying them, reading through them quickly, and then passing them on to me, which I'm very grateful for. I will always flip straight to any Drunken Bakers strips or anything else by Farmer/Healey as the slow tragedy of their work is always brilliant. Works of art indeed. Quote
Paid Members Chris B Posted Monday at 03:43 PM Paid Members Posted Monday at 03:43 PM Who is the character you hate the most? I don't mean 'find unfunny', I mean in terms of sheer revulsion/negative response - for me, it's Tip Top Tony. I hate him so much, and it's partly because I recognise the nostalgia - I'm terrified of him in a lot of ways, because I would literally make life changes to avoid being him. Quote
