Skippy (December 28, 1926) Peanuts (March 21, 1967)  Funky Winkerbean's dad fell in with a baaaaaad crowd of octogenarians.  Popeye is going to go through an identity crisis.  Rip Haywire  Pogo (March 20, 1956)  Out Our Way (August 18-19, 1924)   The details sneak up on you with this one, since having a cylinder phonograph in 1924 is teetering on the edge of having a VCR now.

E: EasyEW posted:The details sneak up on you with this one, since having a cylinder phonograph in 1924 is teetering on the edge of having a VCR now. This is very true. Disk records were all the rage around 1910, and they pretty quickly overtook Edison's cylinders because of their vastly (vastly meaning about 20 seconds which was huge back then) longer playing time. However, in this particular "Out Our Way's" case, they're "out west", so pickings might be pretty slim as to what kind of record player you could come up with. Fun fact: My kid just purchased a Victrola that was actually assembled in China in the 90s. The guts are all bonafide Victrola, but the case, labeling, etc., are all new. Apparently, someone in China had a warehouse full of old Victrola parts, and reassembled a bunch of them and sold them to peasant farmers who had/could not afford anything else in the line of entertainment then. The "new" labeling is awesome. A heavily pixelated picture of the classic Nipper "His Master's Voice" logo... except that it says, probably because of Chinese Engrish, "Her Master Talk". By the way, it plays wonderfully!

Seeing Sprocket's black eye under her sunglasses does a bit to explain why she's choosing to Thelma and Louise her way out of this confrontation. I mean, it doesn't fit with anything we've previously seen about the Nitrate's relationship that I can remember, but it's at least an explanation!

She's betting on being able to swim free of the car while Silver is weighed down by his heavy shoes.

That is some hella deduction there, my friend.  says you nailed it.We also know she dislikes the hyena, and she's pissed that his scam didn't work. edit: who knew that one day Dick Tracy and Juliet Jones would be the comics keeping me totally riveted?

By this point, I'd rather see the Mis-adventures of Rick Grubber. What I am saying is; The Phantom comic strip has really gone to poo poo. It is boring and lovely and oh my god you could drown in the smug. Johnny Aztec fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Mar 18, 2014 |

Yeah, the fact that it's from the studio that made Epic and the loving Rio movies and is not overly comforting, but they don't seem to be screwing it up too badly so far.

Apparently Schultz's son is watching it like a hawk to make sure it stays true to the spirit of the original comics: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2014/03/17/peanuts-snoopy-charlie-brown-first-look/6273911/ Choice quote from the producer: "Snoopy will not be rapping, no one will be twerking, we're in good hands"

At least it won't end up like the Marmaduke movie at any rate. It still boggles my mind why the gently caress that poo poo happened. Who the hell read Marmaduke one day, and said "Yes, this is what we're doing - get George Lopez on the phone". Live-action Popeye is the only good comic book movie.

Wanamingo posted:Zachary Nixon Johnson Among the annoying things about this comic (IMHO) is that the Zachary guy's face seems to so often be shown as though the observer is placed just slightly lower than normal, and the focus is centered on his chin and mouth. I can't tell if it is some deliberate attempt at unsettling dystopian schtick, or just the artist's preoccupation with jawlines.

Nurses still wear those, right?"  Pros & Cons   Sally Forth   Hey, you guys are planning to flee together and that's what counts. We skipped a day of The Amazing Spider-Man! Here's Monday's.  Definitely amazing. Also, I kind of hate doing this, since I usually prefer to let Tiggum's posts work their magic without interference, but it kind of affects the plot, so:  Seems like May's been rescued by Spidey enough times she'd have warmed up to him a little by now.
