King Aroo (February 5, 1951) Barnaby (July 13, 1942)  Nancy (March 22, 1943)  Wash Tubbs (December 3, 1928)  Today I'm adding a new strip to my dailies: Gasoline Alley. Created by Frank King in 1918 (and still going strong today), Gasoline Alley is typically understood to be the first soap opera strip. As of 1923, when this set of scans begins, the strip's protagonist is Walt Wallet, whose main personality trait is that he's a reliable, loyal, loving, and fiercely protective friend. Secondary characters include Mrs. Blossom, Walt's love interest; Rachel, Walt's housemaid; and Skeezix, a foundling that Walt's in the process of trying to adopt. Gasoline Alley (January 1, 1923)

Fantastic addition, I've been curious about what the strip must've been like back in the day ever since we got a taste of the... aesthetically questionable modern incarnation, and literally one strip in we're doing pretty swell. I'll be reading this with great interest. e: VVV Yeah, now that the focus is off the dad's doubts about O'Malley it's feeling fresh again.

The original idea was to have readers of the comic draw the vacation strips - many left samples in the comments for him to review.

Slammy posted:Gay and Her Gang (click for big) Puffed rice was invented nearly thirty years prior, but making it still required "puffing guns," rotating metal vessels in which grains were both heated and pressurized. Quickly opening the vessel caused water in the grains to vaporize and expand all at once, puffing the grain (and shooting it everywhere), but it was an inefficient process. Also, the puffing guns were heavy machinery, reinforced in order to protect against rupturing.  Trent posted:I do enjoy Everett True beating the hell out of the big business politicians, assholes, litterbugs, and manspreaders, but sometimes it gets a little iffy with the 'wristwatches are for women, you queer!' *SMASH* True hates obnoxiousness in all its forms, including affectations—which is what men's wristwatches were before World War I. He's not gay-bashing, he's punching a hipster.

If not, I'll move on to them after Moomin Mamma's Maid.  2) The local Amazon also has a couple of the Lars Jansson's Moomin comic books, have any of you read those? Are they as good as Tove's stories? If they're good, I'll buy those books too. Classic Dilbert

I read a bit about it, and it seems like there is actually a relatively high occurrence of deafness over there (below 10%, but still). So it makes sense to learn the language to be able to communicate with deaf neighbors/family members.
