That link says that a frog wouldn't survive the fall, but thanks to the square-cube law it's going to have a terminal velocity lower than what's needed to kill it.

I've been absent here for too long. I know you missed it. Intelligent Life  I looked it up briefly and didn't find much consensus. Just a lot of nerds arguing on forums, which in retrospect I should have expected.  Those jocks are SO self-obsessed. Hey, look at what a UNIQUE, WACKY NERD I am!!!  No comment.  Are the goddamn Smurfs really that geeky?  You like Star Wars?? What an esoteric movie to be interested in. You "geeks" sure are STRANGE!!  I won't lie, that's not a bad Jabba. Points off for no Salacious Crumb, though.  Oh, Ben Affleck's going to do fine, get over it. I'm more leery of Zack Snyder's involvement.

Hey Look! Since I've been posting MAD Magazine..."Hey Look!" was a series of one-page comics that Harvey Kurtzman did for Timely Comics from 1946 to 1949, appearing as fillers in their line of comic books. Stan Lee, who was the editor at the time, gave the series the name. 150 strips were made altogether. There was an attempt at an animated revival in the late 1990s when Nickelodeon did "Oh Yeah! Cartoons". Director Vincent Waller did a six minute short based on Kurtzman's comic for the shorts project.

Oh my god yes, HEY LOOK is completely awesome. I remember reading this one as a kid and it blew my mind.  Really appreciating everybody posting MAD artists' stuff in this thread. Sergio, Don Martin, Prohias, even the Dave Berg material is good in a painful 70s time warp way.

I love how "this is my uncle's clinic" and "he's a prominent surgeon" somehow automatically mean he doesn't help the poor. In a perfect world, this setup would lead to the uncle turning out to be a prominent surgeon with a city clinic who helps the urban poor right there in the city, and he will kick seven kinds of poo poo out of Rosa and Gunther by pointing out that their altruism is really just a typical suburban rear end in a top hat's dream of being the Great White Savior to exotic jungle savages and look cool to their friends. No, I'm wrong, in a perfect world this comic wouldn't even exist.

Fingerpori The most common English example of this sign that I found was "no junk mail", sometimes with "or free newspapers" added. Didn't have the room for "newspapers", but whatever. By the way, the Finnish expression is ei ilmaisjakelua, "no free distribution", which encompasses all free mail. Fok_It  Kela means "a tape" or "a reel". Kelata means "to (re)wind", and it's also a slang word for "to think". The "don't think my thoughts" part was originally älä kelaile mun keloja, literally "don't wind my tapes".

Jane's World She was just wearing a maid's costume, Jane, jeeze. It's the dude who's always dressed as a viking that I'd call a freak. Non Sequitur  Actually, Danae's a lot like the users on my network when we lose our T1. Talk about whiny. "No, I can't make the phone company move any faster in repairing our T1 so you can post comics to some stupid internet forum called somethingawful.com."  Heavenly Nostrils  Phoebe, two words, text Sue. I'm sure she could solve your getting in trouble problem in about 30 seconds. Kliban's Cats  My pitch black cat, Spaz, is like this. Always on "insect patrol, and elimination" in our house. Centipedes are her specialty. 9 Chickweed Lane 8/28/2003   And yet, you make your daughter dress like a nun.Zits  Kevin & Kell  Welp Rudy, that's why predators don't farm. What did I just say?

Few days ago I purchaed "MAD About Comic Strips". It's a book reprinting newspaper comics parodies that MAD did over the years, from the beginning to early 2000s (the book came out in 2003). Naturally it's full of stuff that this thread'll love. Here's one I scanned. Originally ran in MAD #326, March-April 1994: quote:STRIP TEASED DEPT.

I was reading through one of my Complete Peanuts books this morning when I found a strip that this thread might enjoy, given the classic Peanuts strips that have been posted lately: Peanuts (January 7, 1973)  I don't blame Poochie, Snoopy must look like some sort of mutant to her if she last saw him as a 50s-era regular dog!
