Peanuts (March 10, 1968) Funky Winkerbean  ...and that's when I realized this wasn't about comic books anymore. Classic Popeye Sunday delivers a Pick-Me-Up Bouquet. (c. 1941)  A Pogo interlude, in which we take in the wonders of nature. (February 17, 1957, click for somewhat larger)  Out Our Way (October 8-9, 1926)   Somehow that swayback horse is more horrifying in three-quarters profile.

I would think any kid who plays Pokemon would know what the original Pokemon were since the games still number and list them in order of their creation when you bring up the full list of all Pokemon. Also the original series is on Netflix.

I can't let a dated reference that I grew up on go unnoticed  E - Pikachu is used for most of the marketing. Not so much Bulbasaur and Charmander.

One of my kittens slept in his litter box when I first got him. After two nights of that, I looked it up and learned that kittens are comfortable in enclosed spaces. Gave him a small box with a blanket and he slept in that instead of the litter box. The other kitten spent a lot of time trying to bury stuff when she was done. Switched litters. It took two tries, but now she's done pretty quickly. Heathcliff makes me feel like a superawesome cat owner. Just like My Cat From Hell does.

Retail Man, Retail's art and writing has really gotten a lot more half-assed over the past three years. I guess shipping is free now though. 2012:

To be fair, Retail only has like six jokes. He has to shake them up a bit so they're not as obvious as repeats.

DC Money posted:comment rephrased for real intention: "I knew they were Magrittes all along, you didn't have to tell me" I identified that one because I thought it was one of Magritte's more obscure works, although I could be wrong about that. Now let's see Zippy interpretation of Magritte's Le Viol.

Magic in a Minute  You said five games in total, meaning that if one of them played "all five" games then they must have been playing together. The correct solution is that three of the games were co-op! Mandrake the Magician (1942-11-22)

Regarding that plan in Dick Tracy: it seems like a lot more trouble and risk to steal trucks when you could just get them legitimately and avoid having the police tipped off about something going on. It's not like these idiots had any trouble smuggling ten shipping containers of men into the country, so why is it so hard to just get some drat trucks from the uhaul?

Peanuts, in which spring training is off to a rip-roaring start. (March 11, 1968) Funky Winkerbean  The Funky Winkerbean blog posted two more installments of the "history" of BatTom comics, and yes, it's a totally straight-faced history of the fictional company. As for what else is on there, I'll let you discover that for yousrself. Popeye  Rip Haywire  Out Our Way (October 11-12, 1926)

Geomancing posted:See, I'd read most of Bloom County in collections that my parents own, but I've never seen any of Outland. I've been looking forward to this. Agreed! Thanks Darthmed, for posting it. In 1989, I was freshly married, and transitioning from the "party all night" phase to the "settling down and starting a family" phase, so I really had no time to read the comics section (or any section, usually) of the paper then. Also, back then, I don't believe our local paper even carried Outland, so I missed the whole run. This'll be nice. Jane's World  Well, that's sort of a weird installment. It's like waiting for a murder or something. Non Sequitur  Phoebe and Her Unicorn  Kliban  I'm pretty sure I've seen Sergio Aragones do this in Mad Magazine, but with hippies instead. 9 Chickweed Lane 3/9/2004  Zits  Kevin & Kell    There might be some truth to that.
