The only way I could see a K&K cartoon get produced is if Tim & Eric snatched up the rights and just played up the horror of the setting completely straight.

Stoners on Adult Swim would be watching, all like "Oh hey, a cartoon with talking animals, I wonder- THEY'RE ROUNDING UP THE HERBIVORES INTO CAMPS AND SORTING THEM BY FLAVOR WHAT THE CHRIST!!!"

I would watch the hell out of that.

Usually you just serendipitously stumble upon one already built and activate it.

You know where else the mass media grotesquely misrepresents Big Science? In JOHN DARLING!!!

John and his guest are talking about the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, Pennsylvania.

Punchline to today's strip: a combination of "nuclear reactors are just like nuclear bombs" and "the government is unprepared for emergency situations". I think the implication is "five sixths of the island would have been obliterated". The island isn't three square miles in size, though; rather, it's three miles downriver from a nearby city.

Those old Wizard of Id strips are great. At the very least, the artwork made me laugh.

I consider Brant Parker and Johnny Hart to be my big artistic influence, even if their best days were in the 1960s and '70s.

Since it's the 50th anniversary of the strip, here's the "Wizard of Id" pilot that Jim Henson did with Muppets.

Jim Henson voiced The Wizard (using Kermit's voice) and the Spook. The King is Jerry Juhl.

That's actually how Johnny Hart came up with the idea for the strip. According to comics historian R.C. Harvey:

quote:

cartoonist Johnny Hart, creator of B.C., came up with an idea for a second comic strip while flipping through a deck of playing cards. In other words, it wasn’t the court magician that struck his fancy: it was the king. Hart enlisted longtime friend and mentor, Brant Parker to help co-produce and illustrate the Wizard of Id.

They also left a set of fingerprints and a written confession, but you can't tell because the art is so rudimentary.

I saw the apple and figured it was the clue, but since inspector assumption didn't say he was after dental records how the gently caress is any kid supposed to guess the answer. The answer is nowhere in the goddamn puzzle. gently caress!
