I like the art in John Darling; it reminds me of the art in Graves, Inc., which has been posted in this thread a few times and I also really like.

Please post more grimy, rumpled-looking 70s comic strips.

The day I bought the John Darling collection, I also picked up a late '70s Tank McNamara album. I'll see what I can do about scanning those also.

An apple? REALLY? Is this just the baguette that must be in the brown shopping bag? Is it a cartoonist trope that can't be avoided? Because I don't see any in other strips. Are candies too hard to draw? Do you really want kids to be given apples while trick-or-treating?

Maybe they assumed he was good enough to not get caught? His failure to avoid the cops means he isn't good enough to teach their child.

It seems very Far Side-like because the Far Side was a 'inspired' by Kliban. I'm too lazy at the moment but if you dig you can find an interview with Larson where he right out and says it. In one of the earlier Comic Strip Megathreads I linked it.

This comic is so irritatingly inconsistent. It gets so boring sometimes, but then it jumps to a new story and suddenly I'm totally invested again. I really want to see what Blaze is going to do now. I'm pretty sure B-B Eyes is not going to like it.

I guess so. And not just in your head either. Have you never heard little kids talking about school friends and referring to them by full names all the time?

Yyyeah, I realized that after I posted. Sometimes the joke just goes over one's head.

Speaking of jokes literally going over someone's head, here's JOHN DARLING.

In the first strip, John is still in the studio audience for Saturday Night Live. This strip was published in July 1979, during the summer break after SNL's third season, but before the beginning of the fourth (in October of that year): the gag of superimposing witty comments over shots of random audience members ended after the third season.

The caption superimposed over John is a reference to Certs candy, and their advertising slogan which claims that it is "two, two, two mints in one".

In the second strip, John is going to a thinly disguised Studio 54.

Punchline to strip #1: [not applicable]
Punchline to strip #2: John hopes that his meager fame will be enough to earn him access into a very popular and exclusive discotheque/nightclub, only to learn that he has missed the peak of its popularity.
