Captain Midnight (1943) Alas we get to our first missing page. We can only speculate exactly what happened in those three panels. Classic Spider-Man (1998) Skiiiip again another comic of Gorilla Goon talking about how great he is.    Something beautiful is going to happen soon.

Yes, I'm quite sure there was a 15 minute period when absolutely no crimes were happening in NYC. No muggings, burglaries, murders, rapes...

Peanuts (February 19, 1969) It's an emphysema diagnosis, Charlie Brown! Funky Winkerbean  Crankshaft  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (September 5, 1929)  Fun fact: The FDIC, the government corporation that provides deposit insurance, wasn't created until 1933.

I've started to use "huge" thumbnails for any comic that can be clicked. Seems to work, but I read on my iPad, is it breaking anyone's tables? Rarebit Fiend (click for huge)   Outbusts of Everett True   Good Time Guy (click for big)   Any love for GTG? Some of the wordplay is fun, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort of pulling it from GN. Gay and Her Gang (click for big)   Feiffer (click for big)   Wee Pals   Life In Hell

I just read ahead on Good Time Guy - and I'll keep posting it for awhile - there are some good strips in there. I've pulled about 18 more strips (July 1929) - if there's no love after that, I'll dump it and look for something else. I found some "Dave's Delicatessen's," and while I love Milt Gross, and the art is great - eh - it's no Banana Oil. (click for larger)

I just love the elephant in King Aroo  Jäätävä Spede  Alcohol is taxed heavily in Finland like in Sweden and Norway, not as much as in Norway though, so Norwegians in the northern towns cross over to Finland. Finns meanwhile go to their cousins in Estonia which is only a day trip away and is an EU country. You can bring alcohol for your "own use", which is defined as 110 litres beer, 90 litres wine (60 litres can be champagne), 20 litres strong wines and 10 litres strong booze. But you can bend the limits eg. bringing more wine when not bringing any beer, also if you can prove that you are having a party such as a wedding then you can bring more. Contrast to non-EU country Russia from which you can bring 16 litres of beer, 4 litres wine, plus either 2 litres strong wines and champaigne or 1 litre vodka.

We might get see Herringbone jump from a skyscraper window. I vote yes on Barnaby, but will live either way.

Another vote for Barnaby. As a kid, I had a humor collection that included a chunk of Barnaby (O'Malley's run for Congress) that I thought was the whole thing, so I'm enjoying this longer sequence a lot. It's a strange little strip and I'm still not completely sure why I like it.

Johnny Walker posted:Rex Morgan MD THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAG-A-DAY AND SOAP OPERA STRIPS: A PRIMER Gag-a-Day CHILD: "Rene is going to teach me about drawing hands today!" Panel 2: Rene and the child are shown to be playing poker. The child's first-panel interlocutor may appear, shocked at the turn of events. Humor, of a sort, is achieved. Soap Opera CHILD: "Rene is going to teach me about drawing hands today!" Panel 2: It turns out to be an uninteresting statement of fact. The daily march of mundane small talk continues unabated. The child says something vaguely affectless, vaguely foreboding, and certainly unchildlike. No humor, only despair. -FIN-
