I notice that old Sunday strips had an amazing color palette, mid to late 20th century did not, then with computer controlled gradients and so on they got good again. Anyone know the technical reason the early ones looked better than later ones?

on the other hand the audience is also bad, as exhibited by the preference for Spamalot over whatever nihilistic wankfest was originally planned for Westview High's last play, I forget

Luann


Shannon's entirely disinterested father is constantly dumping her on his sister. Once Aunt Toni has her, the excuse is always different but the consequence is always the same: Shannon is always pushed off onto the first warm body that can be found. She is one of the only characters in Luann that I actually feel sorry for (the other being Tiffany, sometimes). And of course I'm not supposed to feel sorry for this neglected child because she is "a brat."

It's not perfectly clear, no, especially near a shore or slightly deep. After about 100 meters down the ocean has little to no sunlight penetration so "a window" isn't really the best tool for targeting weapons designed to be used exclusively under the sea.

Are there other legacy strips that are so opposite to their origins as Nancy? Modern Popeye to me seems pretty loyal to the original, to the point that it feels out of date. Apartment 3G was in the same department, just in a much sadder way.

Wait, I don't actually get what's different about Nancy. The old strip still seemed a bit like it was aimed at a saccharine tone.

In a way yes, but on a far more anarchist note. Gilchrist Nancy is all about Christian mission, Viet Nam vets, dead country singers and boobs. I haven't seen Bushmiller strips about Spanish-American War veterans but I could be ignorant.


Well, I guess this could be a Gilchrist cartoon. All it needs is some tears, a salutation to the vets and boobs.
