Calaveron posted:Wasn't the previous Crankshaft storyline about how the now dead lady was starting a new, humble business from her home and how that filled her with hope and the drive many senior citizens need to keep going once their kids stop visiting and all that? No, that's the other old bat.

The weekly Phantoms writing has been pretty mediocre for a while. Is the Sunday strip by the same artist or a different guy?

SynthOrange posted:The weekly Phantoms writing has been pretty mediocre for a while. De Paul started really strong, but he burned out fast, and Ryan's art was really all that kept the strip from being poo poo. But Sunday strips were drawn by Beatty before, so I assume that will continue to be the case.

I'm glad you inadvertently Red & Rover'ed this for me, because I'm apparently such a plugger that I had no idea what that comic meant. I've never used or seen ILY or ILU. Besides, true pluggers remember using "143" from the days of numeric pagers.

Glad to hear folks are enjoying Wash Tubbs -- it's one of my favorites. Interesting fact: the strip actually predates Tintin by about four years. It's highly likely that Herge was influenced by it, though I'm not sure he ever outright said so. King Aroo (May 11, 1951)  Barnaby (October 16, 1942)  Nancy (June 26, 1943)  Wash Tubbs (March 8, 1929)  Gasoline Alley (April 6, 1923)  Barney Google (March 24, 1922)  Lil' Abner (November 20, 1936)
