EasyEW posted:Peanuts: Year One (August 13-15, 1951) Sure enough  There were a ton of these Peanuts comic books back then. As far as I know, Schulz only drew one comic book, as well as most of the covers, including the above. Otherwise, most of the Peanuts comic books were drawn by Dale Hale, who worked in animation on stuff like "Pink Panther", "Woody Woodpecker", and "Tiny Toons" Here's one of Dale's Peanuts stories, from 1961:

I'm not going to post this comic but just for the sake of this thread's curiosity if you don't read the webcomics thread, I found that thread favorite David Reddick, the guy behind Intelligent Life, also has a webcomic called Life of Bill, which is about the adventures of Peter Griffin as a barbarian.

Yeah, I've been familiar with it. He also works at Paws Inc. on "Garfield". I wonder if Sergio Aragones should sue.

Darthemed posted:Ripley's Sarkese ambulance:  Also banned, until 2008: pigeons and unspayed dogs, unless you were the Seigneur. One time, in 1990, some unemployed weirdo from France tried to invade and occupy Sark with a handful of friends and exactly one gun. He got arrested by one of the island's two cops when he sat down to check the magazine or something. It's a wonderful world out there. (e: reading up on it a little more, he may not have had friends and Sark may have had only one cop at the time! I'm going to assume both of these are true because that makes it funnier.)

Skippy (August 17, 1927) Peanuts jumps to November 2, 1967 for seasonal reasons.  Funky Winkerbean  But enough about those guys, how about that Random Sports Team? Popeye  Rip Haywire hatches a cunning plan.  Out Our Way (November 27-28, 1925)   Machine shop guys (and especially the shop foremen) are going to be another recurring theme going forward, so you might as well get used to the idea. And yeah, Williams also spent a few years doing that type of work.

Sorry about the small comics, for some reason GoComics isn't letting me get the larger versions. Ham Shears basks in the nostalgia.  The Dinette Set is a second-hand borrower.  Working Daze is bad at motivation.

quoted for some goddamn truth Kennel posted:That won't stop people claiming they can taste the difference. Depending on the chicken, you can. The legal definition of free range is "access to the outside for some part of the day", so there are large commercial farms that sell "free-range" chickens that are just chickens that live in a gigantic closed barn with a tiny yard, and those don't taste or cook any differently. Free-ranged, pastured chickens, the ones that spend their lives in a flock and all day scratching in the dirt and walking around, have much less body fat than a standard commercially-farmed chicken and so they have to be cooked for less time. It's always a good idea to cook them breast-down as well, to retain what fat they do have. If cooked properly, the meat of a pastured chicken tastes a little bit different than commercially farmed chicken, it has a slight but noticeable game texture and taste to the meat. It's more complex and most people like it better if they get the chance to compare. bonestructure fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Oct 22, 2014 |

No, but I did just install µBlock for Chrome (since AdBlock Plus is an insane memory hog), and that's what's causing it.

It's more complex and most people like it better if they get the chance to compare. Not to turn this into comic strips with chickencheese, but I'd never heard that flip-the-chicken methodology before. Is that something you could try to prevent the breast meat from being too dry, or is that a thing only for pasture/free-range, as regular chicken would end up too fatty? I can do basic kitchen stuff, but putting birds or roasts in the oven is basically mystery zone to me. In the meantime, lunch. And a comic. I need to find another comic worth posting, just doing the one feels kinda bare-bones. gently caress, I post three in the lovely webcomic thread.
