openArchie Comic where Betty & Veronica turn into cats Print Comic
It was a Halloween special and Dracula was in it.
openShiro’s Forums: Babymouse Print Comic
When I first read Babymouse, I was thinking that I could imagine if the book became a TV adaptation. I draw fan arts of Babymouse as an anime character. One timeI made the Babymouse cast as the Doki Doki! PreCure cast. Later that time, I read Squish. On Christmas 2018, I finally got Babymouse and Squish books. Unfortunately, they’re only 3 each. Today I still read the books and I wish that they would made a TV adaptation of it.
Edited by ShiroAkaneresolved Comic about genetically modified female bodyguard Print Comic
As the description says, she's a body guard for her rich family that rules a large part of the world after an economic crisis. I think her name was Forever or something like that. In the setting, the world is ruled by a few families and they each have these special bodyguards (like forever). Also her family has control over advanced medical research which they use to make her and as their main bargaining chip.
open(SOLVED) Educational Superhero Comic Designed To Get Kids To Think Math Is Cool Print Comic
So, a few years ago I got a packet of math problems that had a little black-and white printed "superhero comic" attached to it. It only took up, like, the front and back of a single sheet of paper, and it detailed four Ordinary Middle School Students discovering that they have math-themed powers. There was a white girl, a black guy, a white guy, and I think an Asian girl.
The white girl's super name was "Symmetry", and her uniform was half-black and half-white. She had the power to split into two duplicates, one wearing all white and the other wearing all black. I specifically remember the tagline "SYMMETRY splits in two for a double-pronged attack!" (There's a chance she could've been named "Symmetra" or something like that instead).
The black guy had the power to create octagonal forcefields, I think his code name might've just been "Octagon" but it might've been something cooler.
Either the white guy or the Asian girl had the power to shrink and was named "Minus", I don't recall what the fourth name and power was.
They didn't actually do any superheroing in the comic, it was just character introduction.
Edited by sRAMrelevratopenComic Strip With Fake Ghost Print Comic
So I was reading the examples for "Bedsheet Ghost" when I came upon this:
"Parodied in a comic strip (title unknown). In it, a girl tries scaring off her brother by using the old Bedsheet Ghost trick but fails as the brother replies, "What's so scary about a bedsheet on your head?" Then she walks out from the room. Next thing you know, she finally gets to scare her brother... by putting a pillow over her head."
Does anyone know what comic strip they're talking about?
Edited by sRAMrelevratopen(SOLVED: Super-Elec) What issue of Mandrake The Magician is this? Print Comic
So, I was browsing when I noticed this example: "One issue of Mandrake the Magician featured an evil computer. Because it was connected to every machine, it could control them... in ways that made no real sense. Examples included: a fridge being filled with flames and trying to burn its owner (and returning to normal when a repairman showed up, even though the internal damage would be visible), a vertical vaccuum cleaner chasing a woman (on its non-powered wheels), and a corded phone receiver leaping out of its user's hand and trying to strangle her. It also caused streetlights to explode and traffic lights to malfunction in order to cause traffic chaos, which was at least physically feasible." Does anyone know what issue that was?
Edited by sRAMrelevratopen(SOLVED) Oneshot Manga Where Guy Falls In Love With Ventilator Print Comic
I'm picking "print comic" since that's basically what manga is.
So, a comment on Pro ZD's "Tokomo Chairem" video has this to say: "funny thing is, there's this BL oneshot Manga where this guy is in love with his ventilator, it was kinda sad" Does anyone know what manga they're talking about? (Also, what does "BL" stand for?)
Solved: It's called "Hot & Cold". "Ventilator" was actually a poorly-translated way of saying "Air Conditioner"

I'm trying to remember the name of that classic comic where an astronaut finds the remnants of an alien civilization that destroyed itself in a race war, then as he's reflecting on it in his ship he takes off his helmet, and the reader sees for the first time that he's black? The one where the CCA tried to make them change him to white in a reprint, but the editor threatened to go to the press?
openGarfield strip Print Comic
Looking for a specific Garfield strip where Garfield pushes a vase off the table and Jon angrily yells at him that he doesn't even know what he just did, but it turns out Garfield actually knows more about the vase than Jon does.
openTrying to find a comic Print Comic
I'm trying to find a comic I read some years ago that I can't recall the title of. It was about a group of girls living in a coastal town with a secret(some kind of treasure) history type of local legend. One of the girls who works at a local tourist trap about the treasure gets mugged in relation to the treasure. The cover of the first issue was the girls with the group mascot a german shepard with the town in the background.
openSuper villain jail Print Comic
There was this comic I found at the library about a guy who found himself in a supervillain prison. It wasn't part of the Marvel universe or the DC universe. As a matter of fact, I believe that it wasn't taking place in any pre-established comics universe. I didn't read more than a few pages at the time, but the general vibe of it was pretty dark stuff.
Edited by MichaelKatsuroopenHorror Comic about a cursed horseshoe Print Comic
I have vague memories of reading a summary on the wiki of a horror comic revolving around a cursed horseshoe which makes its bearers immortal while giving them terrible luck and can't be discarded. I can't find it on any relevant trope pages like Clingy McGuffin, Immortality Inducer, Fate Worse than Death, etc
Nevermind, found it by looking at Clingy McGuffin's related page. It's Home Sick Pilots, which doesn't appear to have been crosswicked at all
Edited by LibraryseraphopenComic with a weird god? Print Comic
Anyone remember a comic featuring a bizarre Cosmic Entity that looked like a giant technicolor bodybuilder with the "Illuminati pyramid" for a head? I used to see the one page showing it posted on /co/ a long time ago, but I can't remember the title of what it was from, if I ever learned it.
openSci Fi mouse thing Print Comic
You know I remember reading this comic about some random mouse in space. He goes to recover some random thing[involving black holes] with a random swan and a traitor agent. His dad gave him some crystal necklace[the dad was killed]. Then the swan and mouse go somewhere important and a black hole appears. Then the mouse falls into a black hole and harnesses its energy to destroy some evil company's ships. The swan then does stuff with the black hole. It's like danger mouse in space I guess.

So, I recently learned about PS 238 and heard that there was a part where one villain turned the mayor into a lamp. I know it's somewhere in issues 46 to (I think) 51, but I don't have the time to read them all. Can anyone find that part for me?
Edited by sRAMrelevratopenWhat's the name of the comic where Mickey and Goofy meets Gustave Eiffel Print Comic
I have a Mickey Mouse/Mickey & Goofy comic on my mind, and I was hoping someone could help me identify it. It's about Mickey/Mickey & Goofy, when they travel back in time to meet Gustave Eiffel.
They used a time machine created (probably) by Dr./Professor Spike Marlin. But when they arrived and met Gustave, it turned out that Gustave did not really want to build a tower, but a rocket launch. But in the end it became a tower anyway, a tower he hoped would reach the moon.
I also remember Gustave's wife, a domestically powerful and dominant woman who was negative about his ideas. But I don't remember much more about her. By the way, I read the series in Swedish, and hope to find it in the same language. Although it was likely published in Italian or English, and later dubbed to Swedish. Finding it in any language would be a start at least!
By the way, I shouldn't be surprised if this comic is a part of "The Time Machine" series, by Massimo De Vita.
If you know anything about this series, such as the title, paperback / newspaper issue it was included in, I would be extremely grateful, as I have been looking for it for a long time.
Thanks you!
openThor comic about multiple Hammers Print Comic
I read it years ago and all I can remember is that multiple versions of Thor's hammer dropped on earth and Hulk Mabye got one
openSolved: French? Language comic of the early 2000s Print Comic
I’m pretty sketchy on the details, but I seem to remember reading a scanlated comic that I believe I read on Mangafox at the time. I think it was originally in French and had a supernatural school setting, a sort of Hogwarts-sequel feel, but if it were for college age students. There were lots of characters but I think one of the main characters was a werewolf. Updates dried up around an arc that involved the school having to close/ some sort of crisis. At the time, I felt like it was a unique story and take on the genre and very contemporary, urban youth in aesthetic.
I believe some characters were dating each other and having more “adult” relations, but I don’t think it was a smut comic; just that the characters were of the age where that is just a normal aspect of relationships, so I think the intended audience skewed higher than 12-16. I can’t quite recall as it’s been so long, but I think it’s was a print comic bc I remember running across a very marked up graphic novel of the series on Amazon in the 2012-4 year range. It wasn’t in English, but I would have gotten it if I had the money back then:/ C’est la vie, as they say.
I could be wrong about some of the details: I used to frequent a lot of scanlator group websites back then, so it’s possible I read it on a defunct website reader. I don’t seem to have bookmarked it on Mangafox, but I think it was deleted due to copyright reasons, so I may have removed it afterwards. Any assistance would be appreciated!
Edit: I believe it was Freaks’ Squeele. I randomly found it on the Franco Belgian page! Looking at the tropes page made me feel more certain and finding it posted on another website and taking a look at the main art rather than cover art cinched it.
Edited by JustneedtoaskaquestionopenComic book somewhere cold (solved!) Print Comic
There's this graphic novel I found at the library. It's about somebody who goes to the North Pole, or maybe the South Pole—somewhere really cold, at any rate. One volume long, I recall, and it's not Whiteout.
EDIT: Never mind; I found it, and it's called British Ice.

So, someone commented this on a video of Manly Badass Hero's playthrough of Pylons: "This remind [sic] me of a satirical cartoon in a newspaper here in Norway several years back. It was about the controversial decision to build some giant power pylons, and depicted one of our polititians [sic] as a power pylon following another polititian [sic]." Does anyone know what they're talking about?
