I believe this is what is known in the vernacular as "the feels".

Interesting, they know already.
I wouldn't be surprised if Bruce has told the story before to reinforce his "tough" credentials. He just not used to reliving it...

I hope Diana doesn't take that personally and I really hope she doesn't have the lasso at school.

That Lex, always a kind and caring individual.

I feel like JL 8 Diana's first instinct for everything is violence.
Which is annoying, but then I have to remind myself that she's literally five.
My various fanfics.
And to be fair, her second instinct is usually far more intelligent. Like you said, she's five, but she is showing signs of wisdom and restraint.

And then Kid Joker ceased to exist as anything other than a cloud of red mist. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}

This feels... a little too hard for this series.

It does seem like a sharp swerve into edge, notwithstanding the year-long wait between strips.

Is that a reference to Len being bald here instead of Lex?
Poison Ivy, always clinging to her big bro... and somehow she lands near enough him to grab to his leg despite being blown opposite him.

Reposted from here:
Hoo, boy, I have so many things to say.
Oh my gods Lenny is bald??? One bald for another, it seems...
Lil’ Doom Legion, quit laughing, please. You almost got yourselves killed.
I love this Solomon Grundy and his Big Bro relationship with Poison Ivy in all the comics they appear. He also manages to be a teen in a school of 8 yos. Maybe is the fact that he’s dead/a zombie (or just plain up Cyrus dying in his teens)? How did he even get in the school?
And the cameos... Tye (Apache Chief) is so going to be hit by Booster Gold’s water mug in strip 135. XD. I wonder what he did after. Probably got big out of anger and almost destroyed the building.

Cute. Weirdly enough, I can see the ones on his main site. They start loading, I can see most of a page, and then they're all error icons. I can see the ones on his Facebook page fine.
Upcoming announcement courtesy of his Facebook page:
-A brand new JL 8, #269, arriving on Thursday. -My giant birthday sale—including a HUGE update of original art, 50% off all prints, and fresh discounted commission slots—going live on January 17th! -A pretty big announcement that I'll be sharing once the new JL 8 is posted.
Thanks for reading, and I'll be talking to you all again real soon!
New update.

Clark is just so cute in this comic series. And everyone calls him Clark.
DC should just work with the author and make the next DC animated series an adaptation of this one.
This is a title.
Indeed. I'd watch the heck out of such a show. Bruce couldn't ask for a better best friend. ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
The big announcement:
As some of you may’ve heard, I’ve been working on a brand new creator-owned series for about a year and a half now. It’s a fantasy adventure-comedy about a young man named Étan setting out from his home in an attempt to become a great adventurer like from the stories of his childhood, and he’ll quickly learn that such a feat cannot be accomplished alone. At its core, it’s a story about friendship, aspiration, and morality. I just finished the first draft of the first issue, and am planning to begin drawing it in earnest by next week. I’m really excited about it, and I think if you’re a fan of JL 8, you’ll find a lot of things to enjoy in it.
Speaking of JL 8, let’s talk about it. As I focus on this new creator-owned book, I’ll have significantly less time to devote to JL 8. I’ve already had a very difficult time keeping JL 8 updated the last few years, so I’ve concluded that the best course of action is to pivot JL 8 fully into a once-per-year large-update comic that I can work on intermittently throughout the year, starting immediately. The upcoming sleepover is a major story that I’d like to tell all at once anyway, so the timing works out pretty well. What this means is that today’s update is likely the only JL 8 update coming in 2020, but hopefully this time next year, I’ll be posting a 30-40 page full story for you to read and enjoy. I’ll do my best to remain engaged with this page, posting commissions and progress updates, but there won’t be any new JL 8 pages for some time.
Honestly, I wish I could work on JL 8 forever. It’s brought me a lot of joy, and it’s a ton of fun. The reality, though, is that I’ve been working on this for nearly ten years, and it’s pretty clear that it’s gotten as successful as it can, and sadly, that’s not enough to reliably live on. If DC wanted to pick me up, they would’ve done it by now, so I can’t continue forward hoping that may happen. I’m getting older, I’d like to one day start a family, and currently, JL 8 can’t provide that for me. That’s why these changes are taking place.
This is also why I’m having my giant sale tomorrow. I’m venturing out into the great unknown in this coming year, and money will likely be hard to come by. Any purchase made during my sale—or at any time—will greatly help my odds of succeeding in my attempt to produce both my new creator-owned book as well as the largest JL 8 update in the comic’s history. Any support means the world.
JL 8 has been one of the highlights of my life. It cannot be overstated. What also cannot be overstated is that this IS NOT THE END. It’s merely a change. I sincerely hope you stick around for what’s to come.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, Yale
I... I am speechless. This comic just keeps amazing me. Holy crap, I didn't think it'd go that dark.
I've got Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash, Spyro, and Paper Mario fanfics.
