<Dana Simpson> I enjoy those.

<me> _Raine Dog_ was an allegory, yes
but I'll leave that aside

<Dana Simpson> It wasn't really, but everyone misunderstood it as one.

(...)

<me> are you okay with being mentioned as a cartoonist who has no problem with her panels being mercilessly tampered with by the gang on Something Awful?

<Dana Simpson> If that's who I am, I own it, baby.

(...)

<Me> I'm reading the "Terrible Webcomics" megathread
someone described an awkward tonal shift as:
"It'd be like skipping forward a few years into heavenly nostrils and finding the unicorn and girl on the run after witnessing her dad murder her mom or something"
congratulations, dana. You've become the basis of analogies!

<Dana Simpson>
Hahaha!

(...)

<Me> serious question: how far ahead do you work?
like, Morrie Turner had a nine-month buffer

<Dana Simpson>
I've never been nine months ahead. Normally I try to be about six weeks up.
The reason I'm in reruns now is, the syndicate keeps making me do things to prepare for [REDACTED] and it ate up my buffer. I'm not supposed to talk about the details, which actually sort of annoys me.

I AM NOT BEING PAID TO CORRECT OTHER PEOPLE'S POSTS! DONKEY!!

In today's installments of John Darling, John is still at NBC, although he's wandered from the set of the Today Show to the set of Saturday Night Live.

Punchline to strip 1: John has an exaggerated view of his own importance. Notice that in both strips, Gilda Radner just stands there, frozen in a grimace, while men . Is it significant that she has no agency as a character? Even Miss Piggy spoke, moved, lashed out.

Punchline to strip 2: John accidentally says "Animal Farm" instead of "Animal House".

Yes. I wasn't great about wearing my retainer and two of my bottom teeth went right back together.

It'll take a few months probably to be bad. The fact that most kids who have braces get them off right in time for the wisdom teeth to be coming in and pushing on things does accelerate things somewhat, I'm sure.

My mom lost my retainers for me because she kept objecting to me keeping them by the bathroom sink so she moved them someplace and we found them in some unrelated room forever later. Only my bottom teeth got screwed up because only my bottom wisdom teeth did the impacting thing.

Pogo (October 31, 1956)



For those of you who were bummed out by the diabetes strips a few Sundays ago, you're going to want to sit down for this one.

Kathryn Barbara Kelly was born on October 31, 1951 to Walt and his second wife Stephanie Wagonny. Kathryn died a few weeks shy of her first birthday.

Kelly drew the following strips while this awful loss was still painfully fresh (December 8 and 25, 1952), and every Halloween that followed, the little bug with a cake looking for a lost birthday made an annual appearance.

As we've mentioned several times, he did a lot of editing and redrawing for the Pogo paperbacks. When the late 1952 strips were collected in The Pogo Papers, these two were left out.





Pogo looks so sad looking at that piece of cake. :smith:
