"This is not a misery competition, but dammit, score one for the pizza guy!" The punchline, of course, is the looming specter of explosive death, if the dark clouds didn't telegraph it hard enough.

Classic Popeye Sunday: We've spent a few weeks without full-force Wimpy dickery. It's time to change that (c. 1942)



Pogo, in which the swamp folk decide to one-up NASA (again). (Jan 25, 1970; click for the more-legible-but-table-breaking original)



First-Gen Blondie, in which Dagwood ignites a neighborhood riot. (c. 1941)



And Baby Dumpling is his accomplice in petty theft! It's amazing (or disappointing) that Alexander turned out as dull as he did.

Out Our Way (April 28-29, 1924)

And since we were pitching Charles Schulz quotes yesterday: "There was no one who drew funnier and more warmhearted characters than J.R. Williams."

As it turns out, Apt. 3G's Frank Bolle has a loooonnnng list of credits in comic strips and comic books. Given his long life, that's inevitable.

I ran into a comic strip he drew in the 1960s called Debbie Deere. It's a typical soap-opera strip.





The biggest surprise, though, is who the writer was. It's Al Jaffee, of the Mad Magazine's "Fold In" fame. More info here.

This is the weirdest roller coaster of manliness I have ever seen. It goes from an incredible epic fight that would make Rocky look like a chump, to Val in a dress and makeup extending his arm to a naked man sitting on some rocks sunning himself.

It's a nuke. The pig is Russia, the tiger is China, and the dragon is America.

The pig didn't make it into Bone books, but the tiger and dragon still personify the cold war, it's just more subtle.
