It's interesting to compare this to the similar story in the novels, where only Moomintroll is awake and spends most of his time sulking about how much winter sucks until he finally learns to enjoy himself.

Midnight Moth posted:Slylock Fox First, if she's watching the sun rise, she's going to want to be wearing those sunglasses once the sun has gotten much over the horizon (which we can see it has). Second, and probably the one Slylock is going for, is that if she's facing the sun and Doreen snuck up behind her, Doreen's shadow would be cast away from her, not over her.

I've been thinking the same thing. I really enjoy both versions, and I like that the comics are different enough from the books that each plot isn't a straight-up replay in a different format, just a similar storyline in which different things happen, or some of the same things happen but in different ways or involving different characters. I think I like the sports-mad Hemulen better than Mr Brisk, as an individual character, but the Hemulen & Little Creep love story is just as good as the Mr Brisk & Mymble love story.

Still going through the old MAD Magazines. They all have Dave Berg's "Lighter Side" strips. When I started reading MAD some 15 years ago, Berg was still alive and drawing for the magazine. While they were never my all-time favorites, I always felt that Berg's strips were an essential part of the magazine and would read them anyway. Even after all these years, I still miss seeing Berg's strips, and I actually felt nostalgic when I saw them again after all these years. I scanned a few. Enjoy!         It's pretty obvious, but Roger Kaputnik was Berg's alter-ego.

On the Fastrack  Mrs. Trellis is like, queen shark of the business world. You better believe she can. Heaven's Love Thrift Shop  Uh to signify the coming of spring, of course. Then we can leave the up all season and not take them down a week later.

But if we absolutely have to have it in this thread I guess I could just ignore list those posts out instead. Like two or three threads ago there was a huge argument about what belonged and what didn't.

I think Sergio Aragones said it best in one of his interviews: quote:And many people say “I used to read Mad, but Mad has changed a lot.” Excuse me—you grew up! You have new interests. The reason that Mad has endured all these many years is that it talks to every new generation that arrived. From time to time I still pick up new issues, mainly for Sergio's comics, and even "Spy vs. Spy"

Sergio is fluent in English, he just has a bit of an accent. I've said before: Mad Belongs here. It's printed on Newsprint by authors that have had works in newspaper strips. If we can post the shitbox holbrook comics with the thin premise that one of his horrid strips is in the paper so we have to post the rest of his transformation/vore/I don't even loving know fetish bullshit strips then we can at least get some good, truly funny illustrations in here for a change. And speaking of awesome illustrations with a wicked sense of humor, where've all the Chaz Addams strips gone?

On the Fastrack is in 75 papers, Safe havens is in 50, and Kevin and Kell is in well, one. If you're going to rant about Holbrook's comics at least get your facts straight.

(Sorry, from 7 pages back; catching up) I like to imagine the hatching on the tree behind Grandpa's head as motion lines, indicating he has just somersaulted into frame. Also, I like Grandpa's incessant terming of his grandsons as "young mischiefs." I'd only heard that word as a concept before, never as a person.

Although generally of the "post whatever" mentality, I'm with Moth on this one. The variety of content produced by MAD over the years is too great to comfortably fit in here. It needs its own thread where it can run and play and generate proper discussion and all that crapola. Oor Broons   Krazy Kat seems to favor the "concept-of-the-week" model, so I figure I'll just dump 'em on you all at once when it's through with one, like so:

I'm sure the nitpick is gonna be about 'it's poisonous, not venomous' but I dunno Slylock, if you wanted to poison people by breeding pig with venom glands I think you could wipe out a sizable group of bacon-loving greaselords.
