Devor posted:I like the art from these early Peanuts a lot better than the older canon-appearance. Seems cleaner. Maybe it's the hands? Some googling shows that the current fingers are uneven and sloppy. It might be because of the geometric shapes. Everything seem really round in these earlier ones, which is weird because I'd think that would be harder to draw. It's All Right Chief Dharma Eh, you could probably make a profit on the resale. Provided you know where to sell of course. fake edit: Ah, forget it. Looks like nobody bothers with the tags in this thread anymore. Not that I blame you since most of the huge comics are gone.

Cholmondeley posted:Nope, just one. I believe there might be weed involved though. I smoke a quarter-ounce a week and it's still baffling to me. It really gives off the impression of a writer who just wants to do safe, innocuous jokes and an artist who keeps interpreting them in the most bizarre ways humanly possible to piss the writer off.

The novelty of the joke being "goofy outdated clothes" is lost when the comic itself is almost 100 years old and always features goofy, outdated clothes from our perspective. I mean the joke is they all died of polio and whooping cough this is a pro-vaccine comic eat poo poo Jenny McCarthy

Peanuts gives us a moment of Biblical meditation...with a punchline. (September 17, 1967) Hey everybody, Shermy showed up for work today! I can't remember if Sparky ever gave him another line, though. Funky Winkerbean The only way you can find real joy in life in the Funkyverse is to know it's almost over. Cameo by the mummified husk of Ed Crankshaft. Classic Popeye Sunday gives us "cruel tricks for dear friends"...and "The Mystery of The Disintegrating Page". (c. 1940garble) In our last Sunday Pogo, Beauregard and the cat were being accosted by a thing that looks like a pile of dirty yarn with googly eyes. Takes my breath away...oh wait, that's lunch burning. (August 31, 1969, click through for the readable one) First Gen Blondie (c. 1942) There are no puzzles to solve in today's Out Our Way panels. Hope you're not disappointed. (August 31-September 1, 1925) (e: ...except for how long it'll take Serdar Argic to catch that last caption.)

Gately did the strip for years in a certain style, and now his nephew has taken it over. I think he's trying to walk the line between the long time fans, but appeal to a slightly younger demographic as well. I embrace the bizarreness that is modern Heathcliff. There's nothing else like it.

The Dinette Set doesn't plan ahead very well. Working Daze understands repercussions. Dana is the manager's personal assistant, this girl is her sister who's dating the nerdy guy. They both have cosmic powers because why the hell not.

Pros & Cons Sally Forth The Amazing Spider-Man Isn't that webbing like ridiculously strong? Like if he can get pissed off and bust out of the webbing, shouldn't he be able to bust out of the walls of that jail? Or just pull the bars apart that Spidey just loosened up for him?

One of the things I absolutely love about Prince Valiant is how often a monster or demon is illustrated as just some real-world thing that we know exists but the characters aren't familiar with, like the sea monster being recognizable as an unusually large eel, or the ogre that was a gorilla. It's just such a perfect way of portraying the world it's set in.

He has a degree in Medieval History from Amherst and was managing editor of The Atlantic.
