Andorra posted:The very existence of Six Chix blows my mind. Each strip is done by one woman who has nothing to do with any of the other women, and they just do one a week. I personally enjoy Piro's and Piccolo's strips, but I still don't get who came up with the idea to make a strip like that. I had assumed that the chix themselves had come up with it, but apparently it was former editor-in-chief of King Features Jay Kennedy who had made it his mission to be on the lookout for new cartoonists and to try and bring more women creators and readers to the comics. You're right, it is odd.

Darthemed posted:Calvin and Hobbes I never really got this strip as a kid. The punchline didn't make sense to me for some reason. Now I realize that at the time, I completely agreed with Calvin. Nowadays I don't even agree with my own Dog Comix.   That Sunday strip just blew the entire setting wide open. At first I thought they were just excavating the existing water lines, but there are a bunch of buried hydrant tops there. If dogs really did put those there, then it means they were there before the city was built, and they're capable of much greater engineering feats than we ever knew. They ruled this world once, and they're only waiting until the day they take it back. I loving CALLED IT. Ballard Street  The best we can hope for is equality. If they want to tip the scales of power, they will.

Isn't there a character in 9CL that is a former nun, and if so is this from the "flashback" strips her story? Also, this may be nitpicking, but I don't think "cliche" was the right word for that MDJ. Probably just "Sorry, I think we're in the wrong joke" would have been better. Also also, that Creeps.
