Foxy Grampa invented the mech suit?  I'm also surprised that the fifth panel doesn't have a caption saying "Oh! The barrel is chasing us! How can this be? Quickly, we must escape around the corner!" or something.

Luann Get this kid an art scholorship! That's pretty much a photorealistic representation right there. Apartment 3-G  Maybe if I'd been paying attention the last few weeks I'd have an idea what she's talking about, but I guess I just don't care. Also props to the colorist for remembering that pink is the traditional color for brides to wear at weddings, and to Bolle for remembering that older ladies marrying for the second (or more?) time still love to wear veils.

You're so broken and horrible, wanting to focus on yourself and your dreams of acting instead of being down to hang out with babies as a teenager. Why concentrate on your career? It's not like your drive got you into acting camp instead of Luann.

She recants and keeps her job, finding it more fulfilling than anything she's ever done before. Meanwhile Luann continues to dump on her anyway because Luann is a bland rear end in a top hat.

Juliet Jones  Phantom Classic  I'm thinking this week I want to try out some new (to us) vintage comics. I don't know much about any of these and I didn't bother looking up any backstory or do much of any research at all, really, I'm just going to jump right in. If they're interesting I might keep posting them, and if not I won't. Let's just see how it goes. They're all soap strips because that's what I like. Brick Bradford appears to be an adventury sci-fi actiony kind of thing. These ones originally ran in 1941.  Judge Parker originally from 1970. I don't expect to keep posting this one because Judge Parker is kind of boring, but maybe Old JP will surprise me by being a non-stop thrillfest.  Radio Patrol is about a couple of cops who have a radio in their patrol car. This was a big deal at the time (1943). Also, the cops are Irish. I thought I'd better mention it, since their portrayal is sure to be quite subtle and you might not pick up on it.  I don't know what Rip Kirby is about. Gangsters maybe? One thing's for sure, I'm not going to take the second and a half required to look it up  . Originally from 1954. Big Ben Bolt is about a man who punches people for a living. I mean, not today it isn't, but usually it is. This one's from 1953.

Julet Esqu posted:Apartment 3-G You're missing the best point of this! Someone in Apartment 3G got married. Julet Esqu posted:I'm thinking this week I want to try out some new (to us) vintage comics. Some of the vintage comics on CK are pretty tough to get into unless you catch them at the beginning of a storyline, so I'd maybe focus on one or two of them. Buz Sawyer is pretty good once you read through the backlog, but right now it's in a flurry of escaping nameless Soviets. And, honestly... I sorta want to keep it out of the thread because I'm genuiniely enjoying it and don't want to see it mocked. I posted a few of the vintage Judge Parker strips in this thread or the other (Rex getting punched out twice, and a tiny human child cussing a blue streak at Rex). The current storyline in JP is something about a foster child and it's slow and terrible, but it's less terrible than modern JP and it is moving us inexorably towards the point where Rex claims a wife. Oh, that reminds me, I missed posting The Little King on Sunday and I'm backlogged on Quincy.

Piranha Club Dick Tracy  Nitrate must be moonlighting from his storage locker / pawn shop reality show. Judge Parker  Obviously Randy has never read this strip. A sudden move stretches out over a week of strips. 9 Chickweed Lane  Great, so now Gamma is wearing a bugged bikini bottom too.

Gil God is omnipotent, so yes he can create that rock and then immediately move it afterwards. Don't think about it too much though. Retail  Just take on Mina. Surely you can handle her with you and your posse on high alert  .Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  That sounds like something Karl would say. Do you want to be like Karl, Bleeker? Dustin  You just don't understand business, Dustin. "Bob's Yogurt Shop" probably has better SEO potential in the internet age and by only stocking the most popular flavors he keeps inventory and storage costs down. On the Fastrack  I actually had never heard of this and had to look it up. Well, that marks one time Holbrook is more up on current tech than me. Safe Havens  There is nothing weird about this.

If anything it's almost a nice gesture to offer it to the guy who'd want it for personal reasons first rather than throw it on the anonymous collectors' market immediately. Not his fault Vitamin is being a romantic about it. I can't wait for him to somehow be a villain, even though there appears to be literally no reason for him to do so.

Tunicate posted:"I've got a new apartment in my sights" probably works better. Yes, that's perfect. I shouldn't translate puns in the middle of the night. Fok_it  Sosiaali- ja terveydenhuollon palvelurakenneuudistus, social and health care reform, is more commonly known as simply sote-uudistus. A part of the joke is lost in that this guy may not even know it has anything to do with health care. As for what it's about, I can't explain it any simpler either.

So I actually had a dream about him the other day, and my money is that he has watched every single fight dick tracy has been in on video, so when tracy shows up with his Ni No Kuni party, he'll be able to take him out still.
