 Peanuts (April 14, 1967)   MY FATHER, JOHN DARLING Actually, Batiuk's been reading his mail, because it's "my DAD, John Darling" today. This is what passes as "progress" in a reality-based comic strip. Dipping into the Popeye mailbag: Drimble Wedge posted:I don't like Popeye anyway, but I can't believe they've managed to wring a week's worth of strips out of "Popeye has no surname". A week, you say...you really have been skimming this story, haven't you?  Rip Haywire plants a fresh crop of complications.  Pogo (April 13, 1956)  Out Our Way (October 13-14, 1924)

Manuel Calavera posted:Rose is Rose As saccharine and horrible as Rose is Rose usually is, I laughed at this one. I'm not particularly proud of that, understandably. Darthemed posted:I'd actually forgotten about Superfrog, but now I've got my fingers crossed that it will make a triumphant return. Just yesterday I happened to remember Superfrog, but not why I knew about it or where it was from. Man, I hope we get a good one.

Did Batiuk seriously drop Ego The Living Planet into this dreck, or is this an edit?

Just to let you off the hook: Yes he did, and considering all the comic book Sundays he throws at us, it is most definitely the type of reference he'd drop. Not a clue if it actually fits the character, though.

Maybe that biker comic store owner, but nobody else. gently caress off Batiuk, don't you drag Ego the Living Planet into this poo poo.

Kennel posted:It's odd how Winnie the Pooh looks so sterile and still manages to so ehm.. edgy? (by mainstream comic standards) Yeah, it's an odd one, but Disney comics seem to be able to get away with having a bit more modern humor, despite what you might think of Disney. The Duck Tales and Scrooge McDuck comic books were finely crafted bits of storytelling, and even 1930s Mickey had him attempting suicide or Donald murdering Goofy.

It looks like Pastis has just made Pearls a comic about him now (at least for this story arc). He's not actually single in real life.
