Dr. Video Games 0081 posted:Guy Gilchrist made or shared no fewer than eight Facebook posts about Phil Everly. There's no question that a tribute's in our future. The only question is whether Fritzi's tits are going to be involved. Majestic. Peanuts (January 8, 1967)  Click the death stare of the flying ace for the Sunday the syndicate skipped.  Funky Winkerbean  Classic Popeye Sunday does not play well with others. (c. 1941)  Pogo, in which Got Your Nose becomes a full-contact sport. (January 4, 1970)  First-Gen Blondie (or "the one I forgot to reintroduce with everything else") is where we rediscover one of America's most inescapable legacy strips through the earlier work of creator Chic Young. "First-gen" might not have been the best way to describe this one, since the strip that we've tolerated for generations was actually a reboot. Blondie Boopadoop (God give me strength) started her comic strip life as a party girl looking for a sugar daddy, which in 1930 was an overpopulated genre. After a few years of playing the field, she found the guy in Dagwood Bumstead, the son of a industrial titan, and it was a match for the ages. Against his parents' wishes, Dagwood married Blondie in 1933 and they promptly disowned him, meaning that he had to work for the first time in his life. And thus born the strip that refuses to die. (c. 1940)  Out Our Way (March 10-11, 1924)

ChickenOfTomorrow posted:There was a Little King cartoon; Thunderbean have a DVD of it. Any of the vintage cartoon buffs itt own a copy? I don't have that particular DVD, but I do have other Thunderbean DVDs (the Private Snafu and the Noveltoons). Make no mistake, they're legit stuff. Steve Stanchfield is a godsend for restoring long, forgotten animation, and he should be commended for all the hard work he does. In short, if you love old animation, get a Thunderbeans DVD. Here's a Little King cartoon on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smGGfJ3KAC0

Whoops, forgot Friday's comics. Jim's Journal  You're the one who bought him those plain Cheerios, rear end in a top hat. Karma's a bitch.  Ham Shears  Maybe that's how What's-His-Name's parents got up there too? Dan Dare: Pilot of the Future    Title drop!! Now, here's what I normally (try to) post on the weekend: Oor Wullie and The Broons are essentially the national comics of Scotland. Both started on the same day in March of 1936 in The Sunday Post, and have run there ever since. The transliterated brogue may take some getting used to, but I think you'll find creator Dudley Watkins knew his business well enough:  Wullie (Willie) is your classic Scamp archetype. Comics always begin with him sitting on his favorite bucket, and usually end with the same scene, though the events in between sometimes change the location up a bit.  The Broons (Browns?) are a "typical" Scottish family. From left to right in the sixth panel: bookish Horace, toddler the Bairn (never named otherwise), tall and ordinary Hen (short for Henry), local sweetheart Maggie, plain and plump Daphne, tough-but-fair Maw (also never properly named), Wullie-clones the Twins (likewise never named or even seen separately), owner of a donkey cart Bob Soutar (not a member of the family or even a regular as far as I know, but included for clarity), working everyman Paw Broon, and the rough-and-tumble Joe. Ludo appears to be parcheesi by another name. edit:  I knew I was forgetting something! Classic Wee Pals! It's pretty much just like the other Wee Pals that gets posted here, only it's from way back in 1968 when the strip was still only appearing in four papers nationwide. ...which was also a time when "real white of you" was still a thing people could say without any sort of irony whatsoever.

Don't stay away for so long, Borden! Excellent work! Not bad. I'm kinda happy that he's not dragging the dog/shepherd thing out any longer. Heavenly Nostrils  The species is superior gets a little old after a while, but, regardless, I still smiled. 9 Chickweed Lane 1/5/2003  Uh, right.Zits  Nicely done.

csammis posted:Echoing this from a few days ago: Yup, it and the others and all the good wishes did get sent off to Morrie. I did make a post to that effect right after I sent it, but it was probably easy to miss I put everything in one booklet, packaged it up in a padded envelope, and sent it all to him via his syndicate address. I emailed the syndicate a couple weeks later to confirm that it arrived, but haven't gotten a response from them yet. I'm not going to worry yet, though, since he might have gotten a lot of birthday mail plus there were all the holidays. (I'll email them again, just to see if we can get confirmation that they got it, though.)

To be fair, if somebody is standing around outside a store selling you gift cards, you should tell them to bugger off because they are probably empty/not activated and you would have to take one hugeleap of faith on a dude standing around scalping gift cards.

DEAD MAN'S SHOE posted:Hurf durf I too cannot separate politics from practicality nor can I imagine it in the mind of another To be fair, I believe the writer and artist of Dustin are both political cartoonists. I can't remember if they lean more conservative or liberal, though. e: Steve Kelley, the writer, is a conservative and the artist, Jeff Parker, is a liberal. Mister Beeg posted:Nina's Adventures (December 6, 1993) Apparently Nina's definition of "integrity" is "can't stop whining, ever". I mean, I know Bill Watterson's also hugely anti-merchandising, but at least he didn't devote weeks of Calvin and Hobbes to groaning about it. And honestly, Nina's commentary wouldn't be so grating to me if it wasn't this perfect storm of eye-rollingly blunt satire wrapped in a blanket of "woe is me".
