This quote stood out to me. I wonder what constituted "electronic media" in that time (unless that just means televised news).

Not too long ago, Two Bulls lost his staff cartoonist job because print media is folding everywhere. It's not surprising he has some opinions about technology and changing trends.

crosshatch posted:Johnny Hart's been dead since 2007. It's written by his grandson and the art is slapped together out of old drawings by a studio. Actually, he does draw new artwork on the strip whenever he can, not exclusively recycled art. That said, even when Johnny Hart was alive he reused old art. All those strips with "Wiley's Dictionary", for example? He just xeroxed a blank template and wrote new words on it. A cartoonist I follow on Facebook said he saw Hart say that during a cartoon conference. He said it made his job "a heckuva lot easier". I even saw a really old "Wizard of Id" strip from the 1960s that reused the same art, with different dialogues, at least 2 times (it showed up on two different books I happened to own). Berke Breathed is another cartoonist who copied and pasted a lot. He would take a pose from one panel, xerox it, and glue it to the rest of the strip, with tweaks if necessary. Here's a scan of one strip directly from the original: look at panels 3 and 4. You can see what parts he xeroxed, and where he drew stuff:  Many people presume that copying and pasting art in comics was something that was only happened when Photoshop was created, but cartoonists did that even before computers became common.

I looked at his Wiki entry and read, "age 76" without noticing that it's the age when he died. Thanks for that, I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the Hart tree?

Someone should really put together a collection of "this is what's finally going to finish off Bill and/or Hillary Clinton" cartoons. It would probably make a nice coffee table book but might be a danger to feet and pets if dropped.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Alongside the art style, it sorta helps set up the expectation that the last panel is going to be something about how modern black parents need to raise their kids better, like back in the day, instead of letting them become "thugs". Basically a comic showing black parents how to be responsible. When the last panel is then "replaced" with one portraying the police being an almost mundane menace to the black community, where the admonition of "watch out for traffic" is replaced with "watch out for cops", it turns expectations on their head and changes the message to "being a "responsible black parent" means warning your kids about the police (and always did)".

King Dopplepopolos posted:While I was sorting some of my late dad's old stuff, I found an old Doonesbury compilation; I think it's the first one, since it has strips from 1970 - 1975. I intended to scan some of the pages, but my scanner is kaput; I had to take pictures of the pages with my camera. Doonesbury is boring, lazy poo poo. Copy-pasted talking buildings, and a self-insert talking about all the pussy he's getting -- Muir or Trudeau?

Sometimes I want to do an effort-post involving all the ways in which you can tell that "Day by Day" really loving wants to be "Doonesbury."Cat Mattress posted:Doonesbury is boring, lazy poo poo. Copy-pasted talking buildings, and a self-insert talking about all the pussy he's getting -- Muir or Trudeau? The difference is that, aside from those two introductory strips in which Mike is clearly a goddamned goober, Mike will go on to spend the better part of the '70s as a dumpster fire, and will eventually get into a disastrous first marriage. Mike doesn't have an unequivocal win on his books, romantically or otherwise, until the '90s when Trudeau seemingly takes pity on him, moves him to Seattle, and lets him have a relatively uncomplicated relationship with Kim. One thing I do think is odd about early "Doonesbury" is the reuse of most or all of the panels in a given strip, which Trudeau keeps doing right up until the post-break period in the mid-80s, and it's often obvious that he's redrawing each panel identically by hand for some drat reason. Breathed does the same thing in early "Bloom County," which one would expect since early "Bloom County" basically is early "Doonesbury."

   COAG is when the state governments and the federal government meet and tells each other how's it going to be.  "On Water" refers to the current government's policy of dealing with boatloads of refugees by not telling anyone about them.
