Absolutely everything about this is just terrible. It's such a new low that it almost feels like some sort of performance art piece, like Gilchrist is challenging us with how bad something can be, raising his handling of Nancy to a high art.


I actually wish it were true. Of course, I know better. Gilchrist is the Trump of comics.

I skip straight past Popeye to read Kabibble. Yeah, most of it is "haha, marriage is hell, am I right?", but hey, given how old it is, it predates all the terrible sitcoms and stand up comedians that made it a terrible cliche. It certainly not the Lockhorns, and it usually gives me a hearty internal chuckle, such as today.

Not that specific one. I'm also legitimately shocked to see Cherry has a neck, that most elusive feature of the female anatomy.

The Gay Thirties

Old News posted:

Milton Caniff’s first involvement in the comics field dates from 1922, when he began working as an illustrator for some local newspapers. At age 25, Caniff was hired by Associated Press, and brought to New York in 1932. He ghosted on features like ‘The Gay Thirties’, before taking over the panel cartoon called ‘Mister Gilfeather’ from Al Capp in September 1932.

Caniff was handed the assignment of a children’s adventure strip called ‘Dickie Dare’. Influenced by such strips as ‘Flash Gordon’ and ‘Brick Bradford’, Caniff took Dickie on the ride of his life.

It was Joseph Patterson at the New York Daily News who noticed the ‘Dickie Dare’ strip and quickly hired Caniff for a new adventure strip called ‘Terry and the Pirates’. The strip made its debut in October, 1934. In the beginning, the comic was fairly rough, until Noel Sickels, who was hired to produce the strip ‘Scorchy Smith’, helped Caniff iron out the wrinkles.

Their collaboration – and Caniff’s later solo flight – produced some of the most memorable strips in the history of the medium. They also did advertising work together, such as the ‘Mr. Coffee Nerves’ character, using the penname Paul Arthur.

They’ll Do It Everytime

"wiki posted:

They'll Do It Every Time was a single-panel newspaper comic strip, created by Jimmy Hatlo, which had a long run over eight decades, first appearing on February 5, 1929 and continuing until February 2, 2008.

The title of the strip became a popular catchphrase, still used today by many people who have no idea of its origin. Hatlo, a sports cartoonist, created the panel to fill space on the comics page of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin. Hatlo kept producing the panel, and before long readers were sending fan mail.[1] The feature proved so popular that it was eventually syndicated by King Features Syndicate beginning in 1936, with a Sunday panel added on July 4, 1943.

The gags illustrated minor absurdities, frustrations, hypocrisies, ironies and misfortunes of everyday life. These were displayed in a single-panel or two-panel format. If two panels, the left-side panel showed some deceptive, pretentious, unwitting or scheming human behavior, with the second panel revealing the truth of the situation.

So I'm dropping Big Nate if anyone cares. It committed the ultimate comic sin- it neither made me smile or angered me. It was just meh. In it's place I have one comic picked at random, Foolish Mortals, which so far promises to be awful, and Scary Gary which I've always enjoyed.

I feel like at this point Faye and Nona are basically friends with Hilary because they like her stuff. She's got the XBox, she's got the garage where they can play their music, her parents let them hang out and do whatever they want. Putting up with Hilary is just the price they're willing to pay for that.

Speaking of Milton Caniff, I have a bunch of Terry and the Pirates scans that might be of interest as well. The main reason I've been hesitant to add them to my dailies is that the Chinese sidekick, Connie, is one of the most egregious racial caricatures I've ever seen in a comic strip, and -- unfortunately -- he's in the vast majority of the strips I have. That said, I'll add the strip if there's enough interest.
