Sorry if there's someone who regularly posts Family Circus, but I just wanted to say that today's was so bad it made me physically ill. The peanut butter bagel I had last night right before bed may also have been responsible, but seeing this cartoon triggered it.

BlankIsBeautiful posted:Non Sequitur Not as dumb as you think. Gladiators really were the first modern athletes. They were scouted and courted by different managers, had their own personal trainers and were even known to do endorsement deals. There were huge painted billboards on ancient Roman walls showing popular gladiators of the day advertising particular brands of wine and olive oil, and they were expected to keep to a certain code of conduct outside the colosseum. They traded on their image, and it was big money. In fact, the highest-paid athlete of all time was a charioteer named Gaius Appuleius Diocles. This guy was good. The average charioteer ended up maimed or dead his first year on the track, but he raced for 24 years. He cleared 35 million sestercii in career earnings, which works out to $15 billion USD today. But you Shouldn't Listen to Dog Comix. Pooch Café  Dude, Phillipe, close your mouth. That looks gross. Ballard Street  Ah, yes, the brooding mystique of a man wearing checked coulats and purple socks.

Skippy (July 20, 1927) Peanuts gives us another round of "Artist Meets the Critics". (October 11, 1967)  Funky Winkerbean  Apparently last year they sent electronic cards from their personal computing devices ordered via the World Wide Web interface, possibly with the assistance of an optical mouse user interface device. This spelling out of common abbreviations can cram itself up my posterior exhaust port. Popeye: With great power comes unexpected side effects.  And now, Rip Haywire's version of "laying low".  Out Our Way (October 26-27, 1925)   E: because the Proceedings of the Natural Institute of SCIENCE  have just answered a very important question: how much it would cost to raise a child like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.

Darthemed posted:Bloom County 900 and 976 numbers were coming into fashion at this point. Also, notice how the speech is starting to appear in word balloons, rather than just / lines towards the speaker? Yeah, that marks the point where the strip begins its slide to the end. That and the Steve gets Sensitive story, which ran way the hell too long and made no sense at points (e.g. Alan Alda never had a perm and had peaked in popularity well before that strip ran).

Thrilling Adventure Hour's Acker and Blacker taking a crack at Flash Gordon? Just take my money right now. Pogo (October 10, 1956)  But Anyway...: The Yankees are the 1956 World Series champions after winning game 7 9-0 at Ebbets Field (and I prove my disregard for the history of the sport by misspelling "Ebbets" every time it came up). Wiki: "Yankee pitcher Johnny Kucks struck out Jackie Robinson to end the game and the series. It would be Robinson's final at-bat, as he retired at the season's end." Peanuts: Year One (July 12-14, 1951)

/\/\/\/\/\ What what what That's what's going on? I didn't pick up on that. Cool idea. I still have trouble with the jowls though. goatface posted:Not a fan of that Val cover. Me either, and the jowly Phantom also doesn't make me happy. But then, Classic Funky doesn't do anything for me today either, so maybe it's me.  Surely nobody wants Angry Band Candy Guy as an avatar, do they? Or maybe you do.

Really Pants posted:Dave Berg uses that disco cowboy pimp a lot. Is he modeled after an acquaintance of Berg's? I didn't see anyone answer this--sorry if I'm repeating information here. Berg used caricatures of several MAD staffers in the Lighter Side cartoons. I went looking and wasn't able to find out who this is (Mister Beeg? you seem knowledgeable on these things)but I'm certain this would be one of those caricatures.

Yeah, it's likely a caricature of someone, but which one, I do not know. I'll see if I can find out. EDIT: Apparently he's Dave Berg's son. quote:Berg's son, Mitch, has been appearing in his father's strips since he was a child growing up in New Rochelle, N.Y.

Jane's World Well duh! Non Sequitur  This is actually kind of amusing because, I guess, we really haven't evolved too much when it comes to traffic circle operation. At least around here in NE Ohio. There are, like, 2 and they've been there for years, and people still can't come to terms with their operation. Heavenly Nostrils caught up.   A tiny dragon that vomits candy is the perfect thing to have around for Halloween. Kliban's Cats  Tuesday we had the rear 3/4 view, today we have the front 3/4 view. That's a fatte catte. 9 Chickweed Lane 10/9/2003  Ok fine, Thorax is weird, whatever. Dual Zits since the site was down yesterday.   Kevin & Kell  AND YOU poo poo IN THEM! Haha.  But wait. You can't poo poo in the circles because you're a cow wearing a shirt and overalls... Christ.
