"Hey jerk, disco is dead!"
"What!? When? Boy, you learn a dance and then 14 years they change it."
"Go figure."

That's a really weird way of drawing Heathcliff.

Never cared for all the "remember disco? God I'm glad that's over" jokes that were all over cartoons while I was growing up. I've always really enjoyed disco music, I don't get the criticism and I never have. Was it just popular to bash it because it's what black and gay people liked?

wait.......are you being serious?
O M G hahahahahahahaha

I think it was very saturated at some point too which burned a lot of people out.
Christopher Martinez
It's the same reason "Dubstep lol" jokes still show up from time to time despite dubstep not being relevant in over 6 years. It's just something that's recognized as bad/embarrassing so it's easy to make a quick lazy joke with it.
Christian Foster
Did disco really die, or did it just evolve into Techno?
Ethan Lewis
No...more like annoying greaseball white yuppies with gold chains and hairy chests who'd try to pick up loose women.
Michael Collins
He's a loser but sometimes you just feel bad for him, I mean he tries. He just can't keep up.

Disco was massively, I mean massively oversaturated in 1978-79 to the point where people just couldn't stand it. Barry Gibb was driving people insane. The radio was nonstop disco all day long and every suburban shopping center/mall had a disco club. You had non-disco singers putting out records, old-timers like Sinatra putting them out, little kids doing disco, old people doing disco. Disco fashions and merch for sale all over the place. It was just too much.

As soon as it burst, the same people then went and overinvested in video games and created another bubble that blew up on them.

I don't even have a strong grasp on what disco actually sounds like. The only "disco" song I can think of is Staying Alive by the Beegees.
Josiah Reyes
>four on the floor beat
>swirly strings
etc.
Disco has a very recognizable rhythmic pattern. Le Freak, A Fifth of Beethoven, Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough, etc.

Unrelated, but it's notable that it was only the American gamse industry that collapsed, the Japanese and European markets (the Euro game market was and still is heavily tied to pc's) still survived.
Are there any good newspaper comics apart from calvin and hobbes that are any good? here in the UK it's absolutely fucking dire, this is what one of the most popular newspapers comic section

>that strip
Where exactly is the joke?
Cameron Torres
This was bullshit, Jon was a legit good dancer. Guy should be swimming in pussy.
Cooper Moore
THERE IS NO JOKE.
I cannot stress this enough, there is literally never a fucking joke in this shit, every single strip is just the dog doing what a fucking dog does, every single day, i have literally no idea how this guy keeps getting paid for making this

There must be some elderly British person out there who reads this strip every day and thinks "My word, how charming. It's like my terrier Willy (RIP). He would have nabbed a bite o' sausage from the table and said 'Well that's genetics for ya.'"
Easton Collins
I saw Here Comes Garfield the other day. I did not expect these feels.
Cameron Robinson
The thing about Fred Basset that confuses me so much is that it doesn't even have any cultural impact whatsoever, like, some British media things have the cultural power to stick around not because they're any good, but just out of a consistent "ooh, i remember that"ness, like Action man, it's just fuckin' GI Joe, still sticks around as a seperate thing, because people know the name Action Man.
I've never met anyone talk about Fred Basset, mention it, or anything, not a scrap of merch, or someone defending it or attacking it, it just exists in a tiny box of total mediocrity, it's almost fascinating in how lame it is.
Justin Perry
I feel that way about Born Loser.
Nathan Long
Here's some Fred Bassett ideas:
>Fred humps women's legs
>Fred gets run over by a mail truck and hovers on the edge of death--can England's top veterinary surgeons save our favorite pup?
>Fred gets tapeworms from eating poop he found on the ground
>Fred is accused of mauling a Girl Scout, but it was really that bad Rottweiler from up the street--can Fred be proven innocent or will he have to be put down?
>Fred pisses on the neighbor's prized orchids
>Fred gets mauled by a pitbull and hovers on the edge of death--can England's top veterinary surgeons save our favorite pup?
Josiah Morgan
damn, you can scuff up bare knees something fierce on that asphalt/pavement, I'm getting itchy just thinking about it

It always revolves back around to these two subjects with Zig Forumsmblr doesn't it?
Jose Edwards
Fred would beat up the shitbull.
Logan Murphy
Was Disco the 'flossing' of the 70's??
John Price
How is that a controversial statement? Most of the artists producing Disco were either black or gay, the likes of ABBA or the Bee Gees are the only major exceptions I can think of.

that whole segment in that tv special felt like an entirely different production. it was even animated beautifully.felt like it was a dream,
it was the first time i'd shed tears in maybe 6 years. how did something like that end up in a cartoon about a lasagna loving orange cat?
