That's the kind of thing that makes people cross the street when they see you walking towards them. You guys are right on the money.

Slammy posted:Feiffer (click for big) Holy poo poo it's unsettling to read an "unwanted pregnancy" strip that was produced years before Roe v. Wade. treasureplane posted:Today I'm adding Lil' Abner to my dailies. One of the most popular strips in the world during its prime, Lil' Abner focuses on the titular Lil' Abner Yokum, a hillbilly from the town of Dogpatch, and his various misadventures. As I recall, last time we tried doing a run of L'il Abner, the general decision was that it's too mean-spirited... and also, Al Capp was a rapist.

I fondly remember how nasty the Locher-era strips posted in previous incarnations of this thread could be. Villains would meet their end under steamrollers or by being torn apart by vicious dogs, while the short-armed, clenched-fist Dick Tracy stands around and makes a quip about it.

Tiggum posted:Has Purdy been mentioned in the current story at all, or are we just expected to know the name of a character who died in 1968?  Purdy has been mentioned in previous strips, but this was the last mention of him back in February. It's pretty easy to miss though because of the way this strip jumps from topic to topic during a story. This strip was run during Tracy's trip to Cuba.

Why would all these museums be buying up something that's basically an advertisement for a different museum? I mean, I know the real answer is "the entire world operates so that it is most advantageous to the Morgans" but still, gently caress off.

The Worry Wart was the only OOW character that got his own comic book. It was a Four Color, though, so there was only one issue. Obviously he grew into the sweater by the 50s.  Thimble Theater, in which our favorite mutant sailor gets a useful loophole. (November 15, 1929)

We don't talk about One Big Happy much, so I want to say it seems like a nice harmless family strip that's even a cut above the likes of Family Circus or other "oh precious children" strips but every so often you can tell it's firmly rooted further in the past than even newspaper strips get away with. It belongs with Luann in the "offensively vanilla suburban family who time forgot" category. And also, every time someone's in profile, it looks like their mouth is hanging open and they're one second away from drooling.

It's still fun from time to time though. Or atleast harmlessly cute, which I'm ok with.
