Ok, fellas, obviously tonight you're staying where you are, but are you really just going to sit in that spot forever until somebody finds you? Seems to me that it's more sensible to go back to the river and follow it up to wherever you put the canoes in to begin with. Or go back to the river and follow it to wherever you were originally planning to disembark. You've got a pretty major landmark right there, so use it.

Everett True is so good. Wasn't there a project to have the strips published again or am I remembering something completely different? I would buy an Everett True collection so hard.

I don't think this is a full collection of the entire run, but it's all I can find at the moment.

Fair warning, once the US gets involved in WWI the strip stops being funny and gets dumb and jingoistic as gently caress, unfortunately.

So, if the Bandar people now get to choose their next leader, they've become a democracy. And everyone knows democracies don't elect the most capable or qualified candidates, they elect the most likable ones. So Guran is going for the "he seems like the kind of guy I could have a beer with" vote while the other guys is shouting about lockboxes and inconvenient slideshows.

[B&W zoom in on Kipawa in the middle of saying something. His mouth is half-open in a weird way] Kipawa says the Bandar tribe needs a strong leader. But he's constantly running to Phantom Head and back. What are you running from, Kipawa?? [now the picture is of Kipawa laughing but he's lit from below] Kipawa says he supports feeding all Bandar tribesmen. But instead he's shooting arrows into our precious eggs.

I don't have examples on-hand, but african americans are drawn in that old timey really racist way.

Also, I'm fairly sure Everett True has stood up against white people mistreating a black person, but has also lost his poo poo at a black person's accent/way of talking.

It just occurred to me that Crazy would be able to carry "EARLY SCREENINGS" back to the past so even as the only one with a memory of the time pool he could do some good but man, gently caress Batiuk.

e: Although if he decides to "One More Day" Les and Cayla that would be outrageous enough to circle back to acceptable

I am not an egghead. I am well-read.
One of the things I enjoy about Everett True is the little slices of culture that are just so strange to modern viewers. Like, multiple strips show that True goes into a restaurant and sits down at a table with complete strangers just because that's the open seat. (Then he beats them up for one reason or another.)

See this stuff is one of the reasons I also love the old comics in this thread. I was wondering about that very cartoon and then you said that. Google took me to an interesting Slate article about this.

I also enjoy the Skippy comics for a lot of stuff like that. I always see phrases I want to work into my vernacular there like "whistle the patter" and, lately, "the big apple namer from Washington" but it just doesn't work because people don't get it and I don't like sounding like an anachronistic idiot. I leave that to people like Brooke McEldowney.
