Mike Holmes was the only decent cartoonist the Coast has had. The others were and are fucking no-talent hacks. The recent offerings have been putrid scribbles of wasted space – better the Coast put the comments back in the LTWWB segment – at least they were funny.
Who needs comics when you’ve got Jane Kansas forgetting to take her meds.
Now THIS is funny:

Although I miss the Mike Holmes comics…..I find that some of the best comics are commenters on this site….they don’t realize they’re famous.
When the Coast finally decide to euthanize Glamour Pig it won’t be for being agonizingly unfunny; it will be because “some” group is frightened/offended.

Or they DO realize they’re famous and that’s why they’re dong it. Onion layers, my friend.
printing ltwwb replies would indeed be a better use of the space. true story was the one and only good comic, too bad he stopped doing it
Bunch of assholes, my brother makes those comics strips.
True Story was OK, years back there was ‘a softer world’ which actually had some pretty LOL moments. I even chuckled once or twice at that “Hey you guys” strip they had recently. Maybe I’m just not hard to please with comics….but this ‘Haligonians’ / ‘glamour pig’ shit is crap. They are bad and the people who make them should feel bad.
The Coast comics started going downhill when Faith Erin Hicks stopped doing Superhero Girl to focus on her other stuff. Then True Story stopped and we got whatever ridiculous bullshit we have now.
I never read them so my opinion is completely invalid.
