The strip ran 1966 to 1999. Some papers ran it in the Editorials section, before "Doonesbury" took off. You can see a bunch here.

I realize it's probably some ad-copy nuance I don't understand, but I like to imagine the artist was just so loving pleased with that terrible joke he wanted to draw it three times.

It was to illustrate to potential clients that the strip can be trimmed to fit any part of the page. Note that the 3rd strip is wider, while the top two have the sides trimmed.

I didn't understand a word of it, but "hoo boy!" sounded like something good to say.

Darthemed posted:Calvin and Hobbes Thank you, This is one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes of all time. Every single panel is a masterpiece. I love the effort Bill put in to copying the dramatic angles and exaggerated expressions of soap opera comics. Calvin's expressions in the first and second panels stand out for me. The faces of frustrated derision and amused antagonism made an awesome second joke for me when I reread the comic for the first time as a kid. Holy crap, I just noticed the detail on the edge of the tablecloth in panel two. Bill's commitment to detail and love of his craft is awesome. Man, compare that to the crap in Working Daze or Intelligent Life. Two artists who are clearly churning out the comic and not giving a good goddamn if it's any good or not. I don't know if I'm alone, but I feel sort of a personal offense to those comics. They're probably around my age (30's), probably grew up reading/loving newspapers comics. and can only muster jokes along the lines of "HA HA! Nerd Reference in the workplace!"  "HA HA! Romance is confusing to men!"  "Oops! I Forgot to write a joke! HA HA!"

Anglo-Saxons started settling Britain mid-fifth century. Though otherwise the languages would be British Latin and a variety of Goidelic and Brittonic languages.

I guess it depends on how far they've settled, Val would probably have to learn their language at some point if they've started living in southeast Britain. Anyone versed in Prince Valiant's history know what the Anglo-Saxons are up to in its setting?

As you mentioned, King Arthur - and therefore Val - have already fought the Anglo-Saxons. They are back on the mainland until they're needed for another story arc. Also note that while the Anglo-Saxons didn't establish themselves in England until the mid-5th century, they had been raiding it since before the collapse of the Roman colonies.

This is basically a modern Arthurian tale, and like the older stories, the author feels free to pull cool and interesting stuff willy-nilly from Late Antiquity to the High Middle Ages as suits the story. That Arthur should more accurately be a Celtic chieftain speaking an extinct Brittonic tongue doesn't figure into it. And after all, Valiant is supposed to be Norse. And his son was born in North America. Anachronism is a proud Arthurian tale tradition!

Six Chix This honestly a pretty jacked up nursery rhyme quote:There was an old woman who lived in a shoe. She had so many children, she didn't know what to do. She gave them some broth without any bread; And whipped them all soundly and put them to bed. Zippy the Pinhead  Nancy  I think Fritzi's been enjoying some of the green, herself  Arlo and Janis  Andertoons  Pluggers  Inspector Danger  Deep Dark Fears

First panel of Inspector Danger reads like a Not Always Right-style STDH ("We never had a murder before here at [elite department store]") but then it goes straight into a blatant ad for Novox.

Inspector Danger lives in a dystopian world, where all businesses are owned and operated by the Novox corporation. I'd really like to see him go up against some Shadowrunners.

They're up to the early '60's by now, I think. They're gorgeous editions - really high quality image reproduction and some interesting commentary and history as well.
