Zamboni_Rodeo posted:Pretty much this. The Methodist church I was raised in used little squares of bread instead of crackers, but I can still remember the tiny little cups of grape juice. They're nowhere near as big as a shot glass: Yes, this in my church (Congregational/UCC) too. The teeny little glasses all fit into special stupendously heavy trays, and we deacons carried and passed the trays into the pews so people could each take a little glass of juice. I was always sure I'd drop a tray. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy all over again.  Content: Until I find something new to post, I'm going to go back into the Noodles archive and start posting from there (2005 is where the archive starts). Some goons liked it, and others liked to grump about it, so I figure it's all good. Three today since I haven't posted anything in a while. October 9,2005  October 23, 2005  October 30, 2005  I would like my city's light rail to have a Halloween Train this fall, please. Edit to add, since I didn't plan ahead and put anything about Noodles in the Opening Post: Noodles was a weekly "slice-of-life" comic by Gwen Muranaka, and features a young woman living for a time in Japan, although occasional strips deal with current events or political happenings. Noodles appeared in Japan Times until late in 2013 when the JT changed format and eliminated comics. Ms. Muranaka is also the English Editor of the Rafu Shimpo, a Japanese-English language newspaper based in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, California, USA.

Who even does the colouring? The authors frequently seem to have no input (as shown by the number of cartoons we see where the colourist has hosed up the joke). Is it some random at the syndicate getting the inks?

Some goons liked it, and others liked to grump about it, so I figure it's all good. I'm curious, is there any reason you don't post Zero Gravity by Roger Dahl? It's from the Japan Times too, but for whatever reason they decided to keep him on while they let Muranaka go. Maybe it's because he gives them editorials in addition to normal comics? Trent posted:You know, this would actually be a pretty good strip if it weren't for the timing of putting this single gag strip right after that. I remember reading once that the artists don't bother coordinating the Sunday with the weekdays, since the Sundays take longer and not all papers carry both. It still seems weird that Feuti didn't bother to check to see how this one looks in the context of the current storyline. Pakled posted:Typically, Sunday comics are colored by the artist of the strip (or by someone who works for them) and weekday comics are colored by someone who works for the syndicate. What's it like to work at a syndicate?

So, my grandma used to live in Colorado back in the '70's. When she was there, there was a comic that she read in the newspaper, The Great Atomic Aftermath and Fresh Fruit Festival. It was by James Schumeister. She spent years trying to remember it, she once had all or almost all of them saved, cut out from the newspaper, but my grandad threw it out at some point. Today she did a quick search and saw a couple links, and found some prints on eBay, but I think it'd be nice to find a good collection of them for her. She lived in the Denver area, does anybody have a collection, or any idea how to find them? Also, drat, Prince Valiant is awesome.

I couldn't find any reference to there ever being a collection published. The best you might be able to do, apart from those few random prints on eBay, is to nail down a specific newspaper it appeared in, and go to a library that has back issues of that newspaper on microfilm (I know the Denver Public Library has every issue of the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News, so I assume other major libraries might do the same for their city's main newspapers) and print out a bunch yourself.

Also the association with anarchists, who at the time weren't college kids posting on the internet but promoted "propaganda of the deed" which included things like assassinating the President and attempted assassinations of a whole lot of world leaders.
