Max Fleischer will get the contract to make Popeye cartoons in November 1932, and the first one will debut on July 14, 1933, a little over four years from now. In that time we have to bring Popeye back into the strip, make him Olive's boyfriend, introduce his eating spinach as a source for strength, create the characters of Wimpy, Bluto, and Swee'Pea, and establish all of that as routine so people will expect that from a Popeye cartoon. Do you think we can make it at this pace?

Horus is Ra. See also: Amun, Aten, and Khepri.


Basically it turns out that when the sun is inarguably the most important deity, then the easiest way to get people to take your tribal deity seriously is to make them also the sun - but maybe they're the sun in the afternoon? Or the sun when it's twilight! or the sun when he's fighting his way through the underworld! Either way they are the most important!

It's weird when the strongest complaint I can muster is "This isn't even the most competently executed version of an entitled white guy bitching about PC RUN AMOK :supaburn: on the comics page right now," but in some way that's the true essence of Batiuk's writing.

Ask me about moons
Fact #1 The Moon is really cool
I think it was like 2 or 3 weeks ago I mentioned it and yea it's been in like every strip this week. Or at least every strip the boss char appears in. Also are there any comic strips where the head boss isn't evil and or incompetent? I suppose you're supposed to sympathize with the manager in Retail but I dunno there. It is probably hard to sympathize with the person in charge when you think about it haha.

No, you see it's a character defining trait.

Again, I quote the Working Daze Wikipedia page, which is indeed a thing:

quote:

The most familiar aspect of Roberts' Rita is the ever present water bottle in her fist. This appeared in the first week of new strip, and then on and off for while, until it became almost inseparable. When asked why it was there, Roberts explained that it was inspired by a piece in TIME Magazine about bottled water. The article indicated that women were more prone than men to carry it, and often as a fashion accessory. Roberts chose to make it more like a talisman for Rita, or a kind of security blanket. She is only complete when she has it. She can also occasionally use it as a weapon, like a blackjack.

Without a literal wikipedia entry saying it's a water bottle there's no loving way I would have picked that that thing was supposed to be a water bottle.

So today we learn that the kid’s name is Boog. I don’t know which is worse- naming your kid Boog, or making him go to school every day with his name printed in big letters on his shirt.
His parents must really hate that boy is what I’m saying.
