Phantom Classic I checked and there's a Sunday strip missing between this strip and the last one I posted. Presumably that's where we would have seen Dad setting his son straight. This lends credence to the idea that we've seen this story before, since the classic Sunday strips Comics Kingdom posts aren't from the same time as the classic weekly strips. We might just now be catching up to the Sunday plot we read way back when.   Radio Patrol  Pat got blown up ages ago, and he still looks good and blown up. A lesser comic would have come up with an excuse to let him tidy up or even just forgotten that he's supposed to look all tattered. Not this one. I appreciate that.  The Stranger looks like poo poo, too, which he should, considering all he's been through. I'm still impressed that the artist bothered, though. I continue to be frequently surprised at what a quality comic this is... I really should have caught on by now.  Rip Kirby    Big Ben Bolt

Some comics use their extra sunday space to have more panels or more elaborate art. Intelligent Life has fewer panels.  And now, this week's Fort Knox gocomics posted:Fort Knox chronicles the life of a military family: Dad, Major Joe Knox; Mom, Jane Knox; and their two boys, Donald and Wesley. The family has picked up and moved * again * thousands of miles from family and friends to take up residence at Joe's new assignment at Fort Lincoln. Donald and Wesley have moved before, but that doesn't make it any easier on them. They must face down new bullies, master a new school system and new teachers, and navigate a new community. Added to these pressures is the distance the move puts between them and their beloved grandmother, who's a known troublemaker if not a known felon (yet). On top of all that, there's the strain that military life puts on their parents' otherwise happy marriage.

Working Daze is so insultingly unfunny, that I think every strip I read erases a good comic strip from a good comic from my brain. Now I have to go back and find the latest Ballard Street. Not a bad thing, in theory, but holy hell do I hate Working Daze.

The same way Crankshaft can take place ten years prior to Funky Winkerbean while simultaneously sharing identical technology standards: Batiuk is a hack.

The Amazing Spider-Man Maybe I've been too hard on poor Mary Jane. She was being all mind controlled for a lot of the time that she was in Strange's home, so maybe she doesn't know her husband is Spider-Manning in there. I mean, she ought to have an inkling, since there's trouble in there and all. And it seems like Pete remembers what-all went on while he was being controlled. But... uh... Yeah, no. She's dumb. And Spidey is dumb. And this Xanadu guy is dumb. And I bet Dr. Strange is dumb, too. I love this dumb comic. Sally Forth  The Heart of Juliet Jones (September 20, 1959)  PTSD is a hell of a thing. And something we don't acknowledge often enough is that killing another human being is a big deal, even if you are a soldier in wartime. This is a good comic. Prince Valiant  Phantom Classic  I kind of hate that child. Big Ben Bolt

What I don't understand is why: - the star of a movie and his girlfriend would hang around with the two doofuses getting paid to storyboard that movie, - especially since the only connection between them is that the doofuses went to the same high school she did, some ten or so years after she graduated, - and why the gently caress any of the four of them would think they could make casting decisions about a movie (or even recommendations). Basically, none of those assholes had any reason to fly back to the loving midwest to watch an old movie serial together, let alone go on a quest to find the star of that serial and offer him a job that they have absolutely no ability to give him.
