Rhymes with Andertoons Get Fuzzy 2/3/04  Brenda Starr 7/27/52  Smokey Stover 8/2/59  Everyday Movies 3/18/37  "You mind the stand a while -- but remember, if anyone gives you three coins stick 'em in your pocket quick. It can't be less than three pennies and they might make a mistake." Invisible Scarlet O'Neil 1/24/43  This raises a question about Scarlet's powers. Her clothes turn invisible when she does, but can she make something she's holding, like a parachute, invisible too? Closer Than We Think! 8/2/59 in futuristic COLOR.  I'm no aeronautical engineer but those look like they'd be kind of unstable.

Selachian posted:Closer Than We Think! 8/2/59 in futuristic COLOR. The thing is, those "military models" were deadly as loving poo poo because it turns out trying to balance a flying thing in the air with four fans is really hard and in case for instance some air for some reason were to suddenly push you from the side, it's real easy to start tipping over and not be able to compensate. E: on the one hand I definitely admire the strip's optimistic view of technology, and miss that general tone of the era's sci-fi when people dreamt of the possibilities new technologies might open up for us, but there's definitely an air of "flying cities in the cloud? They're happening within a few years! elon musk says so!" about the whole thing. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 16:02 on Feb 4, 2024 |

It was a different time. They had optimism and hope for the future. Life hadn't yet viciously beaten out of the cartoonist, but it would eventually. For them and for everyone else, sooner or later.

I mean, the cultural sensitivity of that Bizarro is appropriate to the last time The Lone Ranger was relevant, so it tracks. Pluggers  Bill Cates has been sleeping on the couch for a month.

Murdstone posted:Mark Trail So over on The Comics Curmudgeon Josh featured this Mark Trail comic, which lead to some interesting comments regarding whether horses are really an invasive species. Here is a link to article posted that points out horses did exist in North America about 10,000 years ago. quote:Rex Morgan MD I've also been enjoying this Rex Morgan Rene / Jimmy misery parade. The contrast between his happy uncle and the expressions on Rene's face are what really sells it for me. quote:Mary Worth If it turns out she's not his daughter I'm gonna scream.

We Are Reproducing Is “you lose your appetite in summer” just a Japan thing? I can’t remember hearing it before I came here, but it’s just a completely accepted bit of conventional wisdom here so I have no idea how accurate or widespread the idea is.

Giant Ethicist posted:We Are Reproducing So, like... as long as other factors are similar, you'd theoretically need more calories in winter than in summer, but if you're in temperature regulated spaces most of the day I'm not sure how much you're going to notice? AFAIK Japan can also get quite hot in the summer, it's in the temperate zone where seasonal temperatures vary quite a bit, so it might also have a factor of heat-stress cutting down appetite if people aren't in an air-conditioned space? If you're too hot, you do lose your appetite.

I remember it being a zookeeper thing here in AZ. The head curator hit me up when I was doing food prep and told me that in summer months, the mammals ate less but reptiles ate more, and converse in the cooler months. I kinda wish the Mary Worth thing would end up with her not only not being his daughter, but the whole thing a scam.

It's A Sketchy Life for February 2, 1928. We start with a double dip from Don Herold.  Yet another one that I can't read the signature on, but it was too striking to leave out.  Harold Denison:  Dizzy:  And one from Miguel Mihura.
