Darthemed posted:Bud Fisher's Mutt & Jeff is a real classic, having started in 1907. Mutt & Jeff is an interesting one to look in on from time to time, not because it's a laugh riot but because the current rights holders are recycling strips from maybe the 40s or the 50s but updating the occasional cultural signifiers...but not all of them. So you occasionally end up with something like "$2 for halibut? What do I look like, BRAD PITT?" The GoComics description is a real honey, too: "Mutt and Jeff has become part of our cultural vocabulary and the strip continues to attract audiences around the world who appreciate clean, straightforward humor that doesn’t depend on local cultural awareness." Which of course means it travels better than Bloom County or Doonesbury. Another fun fact: Pierre de Beaumont is the guy who founded the Brookstone chain, but he didn't actually have anything to do with the strip except that his mother was married to Bud Fisher for four weeks in 1925, and since they never actually divorced, she inherited the rights to the strip when Fisher finally kicked off in 1954. Considering that Fisher was completely done with actually making the strip by the 1930s (but not done with signing it or cashing the checks), it's a very appropriate end to the property.

EasyEW posted:Considering that Fisher was completely done with actually making the strip by the 1930s (but not done with signing it or cashing the checks) Bud Fisher was definitely rich thanks to the strip. In 1927 he was making $250,000 a year, not just from the strip, but also from merchandising. Adjusted to inflation, that's $3,317,571.80. Basically he was Jim Davis of the day.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:9 Chickweed Lane 3/28/2003 It seems to be a common occurrence in Chickweed for a character to propose marriage to his girlfriend, and then the woman runs away screaming or in some other way makes it clear that the last thing she wants to do is marry this doofus. It happens with such regularity I can't help but get the impression that Brooke thinks this is how proposals normally go. Can't imagine how he'd get that idea.

According to the database it's only in the Complete, while the following one (let's hear some water running) is in Yukon Ho! I just checked my copy of Yukon Ho! and it goes from this one to the "let's hear some water running" with just a Spaceman Spiff drawing in between. How odd. e: apparently it would have been found in Something Under the Bed is Drooling but wasn't reprinted there. It's only one of two comics with an unusual reprinting history. quote:The strip for May 23, 1987 was reprinted in The Essential Calvin and Hobbes and The Complete Calvin and Hobbes, but was missing in Something Under the Bed Is Drooling.

Gil That's quite a lot of generations to keep track of. Retail  How about these other excuses, are they fair game: bad weather, the economy, aggressive internet competition, fewer shopping days, payroll tax increases, food stamp cuts, higher gas prices, household debt, aging clientele, layoffs in the surrounding area Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  Don't worry Bleeker. It's just all part of your planned obsolescence. Dustin  You don't have to watch the movie with them you know...in fact, you probably have a number of other electronic devices you can give your attention to instead. On the Fastrack  Why would Fastrack employees be browsing DeviantArt? Are they into anime and furries? Actually now that I think about it, Dethany might be. Safe Havens  Palmtop can't murder anyone tonight if you don't go to sleep. Midnight Moth fucked around with this message at 06:31 on Mar 29, 2014 |

I have the Essential Calvin and Hobbes and the other two larger collection books as well as a few of the smaller books that make up these collections. I was aware that a few strips in the smaller books aren't in the larger treasuries, but I'd never heard of the reverse happening. Odd.

I could probably just stop coming up with new titles every day and just say Irrational Comix. Pooch Café  He's not wrong. Once you get to that many cats, it's an uphill battle against toxoplasmosis not to take in every stray you see. Ballard Street  The character switch thing really works with this one.
