I've been away for a bit---Mary Worth: this old woman (not Mary) was the one who kept crashing her car in the parking lot and was thinking of the old folks home, right? Did she go and meet Old Man there?

darthbob88 posted:He's telling her that story because, well, the rat wanted to hear another adventure story, a bittersweet tale that tugs at the heartstrings, and Derring-Do Dan the Adventure Man could neither deny her last request nor refuse an opportunity to tell a story of his heroism, even if it does end in sadness. It's the 1001 Nights framing device; "Of course you're going to kill me, but first, a story. And then another story. And then a third. And then you're not going to kill me after all." darthbob88 posted:Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is just wrapping up after the adventures of Derring-Do Dan, and then we're into the Boogeyman epic that all this has been setting the stage for. Hey, could you not do this? Thanks.

Fingerpori I don't know how common this is elsewhere because I've never seen it outside Finland, but there sometimes in the supermarket the cashier will put the frozen stuff you buy in a small bag to... I don't know, prevent the other stuff in your shopping bag from getting wet?

You want the cold stuff to stay cold, so you put it with the other cold stuff to limit the amount of not-cold there is around to remove your cold.

You also want to keep it together to ensure you get it all put away first when you get home.

Well they put each individual item in a separate thin plastic bag, so it's not to keep them cold nor to keep them together.

Andorra posted:[me spoiling every major plot twist for this comic] Sorry. I'm a habitual spoiler and forget that not everybody else is OK with that. And in my defense, I thought those were sufficiently vague spoilers to not ruin anybody's enjoyment of the story.

EasyEW posted:Out Our Way salutes the birthday boy! (April 2-3, 1926) This is even better given that anyone talking about "carloads" in 1926 was most likely talking about railroad cars, not automobiles. He's going to be drilling holes in those things for a YEAR. I love this strip.

I'm surprised these Out Our Ways did not spur a longstanding tradition of machine shop comics. Huh, there's a Bull of the Woods wilderness area here in Oregon. My one minute of google research goes on to say that it is a logging term. Neat.

Gorilla Salad posted:If someone ever collected all the Chickweed cat comics together, it would legitimately be a fantastic read. It really wouldn't. The best you can say about McEldowney's cat comics is at least they're not as bad as all his other comics.

Gorilla Salad posted:The best cat comic of our age ruined because the artist can't stop masturbating over gams and gums. IIRC McEldowney did publish a book of the cat comics way early in the strip's run. I like some of the cat strips, but I never got the book because the price is stupidly high. He's pretty clearly running out the clock on his contract with the other strips, The cat ones at least show some originality. Some of them are not ha ha funny, but "yeah, that's how cats are" funny. One from November 2000:

They're definitely not "wacky" Garfield strips where the cat's reading the paper, drinking coffee and bitching about Mondays. They're fun strips which anyone who has ever owned a cat can identify with. I suppose I just really, REALLY want him to stop all the other poo poo he's doing because it's so goddamn creepy.

Oh please, we all know that anything untoward you see in Brooke's comics is a relic of your own dirty mind. He would never draw anything base and sexual.

I wonder if one of the predator kids will give the dismembered and partially eaten corpse of a loved one to one of the herbivore kids. "Merry Christmas. Here's what's left of your sister. XOXOXOX The predator school."

BlankIsBeautiful posted:Boyce was remarkably lucid, and almost funny, there. New meds? Shame he had to ruin the moment with the extra commas. Unnecessary Old Man Moment: They used to make a Bugs Bunny-branded kid's toothpaste that tasted all tutti-frutti. I used to squeeze the tube and lick that stuff off my fingers like candy because even though I was smart, I wasn't necessarily bright. A couple of decades later somebody took squeeze-tube candy to market. Moral of the story: I was born in the wrong drat decade. Skippy (October 11, 1927) Peanuts (December 20, 1967) Charlie Brown's misery would be properly placed if he was in another strip. Like Funky Winkerbean, for instance.

I guess Jeff Keane is mentally stuck in the late 70s/early 80s -- just like JOHN DARLING!!!!! In today's installment, John and his director have fallen victim to the Fuel Crisis of 1979. Punchline of today's strip: even though his director wants to be whimsical and carefree, John is being sensible and rational.

The Dinette Set fails to identify the source of the problem. Working Daze is still doing "a grown man believes in Santa". Isn't that hi-larious?

Why are all the framed pictures flexing like and creasing like crazy wherever they're touched? Is it because you can't even do your own lovely type of knockoff art correctly? Well, beaten I guess but gently caress Also, I enjoy Retail so thanks for posting it. I have worked enough retail in my life to relate to almost every single strip.
