Pogo and I are of a like mind today. (September 10-11, 1956)  Peanuts: Year One (April 30-May 2, 1951)    In Chip Kidd's Peanuts book, he put the last strip in from a newspaper clipping (most of the early ones, for that matter...it's a very nice design choice). To show you how hard it was for some people to get used to the Schulz style, whoever was running the press in 1951 thought Charlie Brown's left eye was a mistake. This actually happened more than once.

I wish there was a comprehensive archive of the old strips, but I haven't found one. I found a few strips via Google. Just look at those faces and '60's fashions. This is from January 15, 1967.  Don't know the date on this one.  Tommie was loosely modeled on Lucille Ball (or so Wikipedia tells us). Lu Ann was modeled after Tuesday Weld. Margo was modeled after Joan Collins. It is to weep.

Pilates chat would help you really kill in that Wonder Woman costume, although you could talk to the Pilates chick about other workout ideas, like weights. Nope, nobody in the office would understand why someone might be planning a costume in the early fall, no costume related holidays coming up. Or have heard of Comic-Con, an event that's about as obscure as the Super Bowl, or even the concept of "there are nerd events people dress up for." And if you do cosplay, you might be interested in what shoes someone got, because it's all a form of clothes and dress up. Wimmen be shoes and jewelry shoppin am i rite

How were they seeing that picture? The only thing I can imagine is that maybe they saw his nose as his left eye? Like he's winking and doesn't have a nose? I had to force myself to see it that way and even then it seems odd to me (and you'd think the fact that it looks just like his right eye would be a clue).

Heavenly Nostrils  I dunno, Phoebe, I think the end is kinda depressing. It's been a while since I watched it though, my kids are all old and stuff now. Kliban  9 Chickweed Lane 9/10/2003  But, of course. Zits  God, now I've got a craving for movie popcorn with that fake butter grease they put on it. Yum! Kevin & Kell  Amazingly detailed interview. Good thing you didn't ask if she was a pedophile or something.

Fingerpori - We're off to the pub to celebrate Allan's new job - Just remember moderation while drinking! - We certainly will Maltti, "patience", can in some contexts also mean "moderation" or "holding back" or stuff like that. It also resembles the English word malt. Well, actually, there's a bit more to it. You know how the Japanese tend to pronounce foreign words so that they end in -u (or, if the last letter is t/d, -o), such as everyone's favourite word "waifu"? In short, it's got to do with how syllabic their language is, and Finnish is in a similar boat. Finnish words (especially nouns) in their dictionary form have a tendency to end with a vowel, although exceptions exist. Unlike Japanese, Finnish loanwords often end with -i or -Ci, C being a doubled consonant. I haven't heard too many people saying waiffi, but laiffi (life, obviously) is a good example. So, if someone wanted to pronounce "malt" in a Finnish-like way, it'd be maltti. Heimo's expression in the second panel is pretty great. Fok_It  Moving and migrating both use the same word, muutto.

Kavak posted:Mission drift? Has the cartoon become less radical or something? Oh no, politically Stephanie MacMillan is where she's always been. The cartoon, on the other hand, has been at least six different things since it stopped being a thing with a storyline. I've been flipping through the past year of the thing that's still advertised on GoComics as MiniSec, and it's just a string of personal projects (if you can call anything that rallies for collectivism truly "personal") under an ideological umbrella. So does a few months on the edible plants of Florida, a series on the plight of garment workers and minimum wage in Haiti, and (since the beginning of the year) a series of motivational posters for the "revolutionary proletarian militant". Some of these aren't too bad for what they are, although they straight up belong in the political cartoon thread, but on GoComics all of these are still flying under this description: "A group of friends vow to do whatever it takes to stop evil corporate overlords from destroying the Earth. How? They aren’t sure. They explore various strategies, but so far nothing has worked. As they build a resistance movement, those who love them the most can be their biggest obstacles." That's a description of a strip that ceased to exist two years ago, which makes her look like she's not even paying attention to her biggest platform. Or to put a button on it, it makes her look like she has no self-discipline and gets bored easily. I'm still trying to reconcile that with the two year long story that led us to this point. Told you I was pedantic.
