CommaToes posted:Officially he's a Clinton supporter because he's afraid if she wins he will be shot by the regime. You have it backwards, he's a Clinton supporter because he's worried if* Trump wins, then the left will go insane because we think Trump is Hitler and therefore will start a revolution to overthrow Trump, and we will kill everyone who supported him much like how we went after everyone who worked with Hitler when we defeated Nazi Germany. So by endorsing Clinton he can say "It's not my fault I endorsed your side!" and avoid death by firing squad. * Though it should be noted he firmly believes it is when, not if, Trump wins, because he believes Trump is a master of persuasion who will totally charm people into voting for him. He also believes that there's a silent majority of men who feel emasculated by Clinton being a candidate, and that men will vote in a landslide for Trump.

What a missed opportunity.

Dick Tracy and Kadaver are gonna fight for two strips tops before Kadaver goes over the edge and we all know he's going to return. Well, not so much "return" as "reappear as if he hadn't had a death scene." That's the problem with Staton and Curtis, they're the kind of guys who come up with stuff like "wouldn't it be cool if Dick Tracy fought Abner Kadaver at the top of the Reichenbach Falls", and it is as a concept, but they never go any further than that. They do it to be able to say they've done it. There's no leadup, there probably won't be much in the way of denouement, the actual fight will likely be forgettable, and you know they don't have the balls to have Tracy go over and disappear from the strip for a while, because all this stuff would cut into their time spent demonstrating how many comics characters they know, and even if they did do it it would just be a straight Sherlock Holmes ripoff announced as such with fanfares.

WickedHate posted:Notice the sign in the upper left corner. I don't get the one liner, but I'm pretty sure Everett is mad because the guy is being greedy. Maybe I just got hung up on the guy observing that Everett's not using any sugar and politely asking if he could have it, and further confused because my rudimentary understanding of wartime rationing was that it was okay to share whatever you weren't going to use with your neighbors. I mean, it's not like the restaurant's going to take all the unclaimed sugar allowances at the end of the day, pour them into an envelope, and mail them off to the front lines; the military already got its sugar, that's why there's rationing at home, right? It seems like one of the rare Everett True beatdowns that's entirely arbitrary. It's not punishing rudeness (or cruelty to horses or children), it's not revenge for some past slight, and it's not patriotically defending the war effort. He's just hauling off and hitting a guy for the sake of hitting him, I think. (Now, if he was just going to punch a guy for eating grapefruit, I'd be okay with that. Because holy crap, grapefruit is TERRIBLE, there's no excuse for eating it when better citrus fruit is all over the goddamn place.)

It's not like they had as much regular access to fruit back in the Olden Days. Grapefruit was considered a good, healthy breakfast food through at least the 70s -- you see it on menus all the time. Shirec posted:This comic is amazingly timeless, strip after strip. I need to buy a book of these If you don't mind buying used, Jules Feiffer's America is pretty complete up till the 80s. Fantagraphics was publishing a complete version of Feiffer's strips (in their original order and with publication dates included, which the other book lacks), but from what I can tell they've only released one volume (1956-1966).

WickedHate posted:Notice the sign in the upper left corner. I don't get the one liner, but I'm pretty sure Everett is mad because the guy is being greedy. This. I think Everett is doubly mad because the guy has ordered hot chocolate. Cocoa and chocolate were among those items that folks were supposed to voluntarily forgo because it was such a morale-booster for the troops to receive them. Plus hot cocoa required both sugar and canned milk to make it. So he thinks the guy is being self-indulgent as well as greedy and putting himself before the troops. The mindset was kind of like "Out of the goodness of your heart, even if you can find it, deny yourselves the tinned and dried stuff we can send to our boys on the line. Eat fresh fruits and veggies instead, we can't transport those to the troops because they'd spoil." Yeah I had ancient WWI relatives who told me stuff like this (and who would not countenance wasting ANY morsel of food or drink).

Buni Rhymes with Orange  Pros and Cons  I like Don't-Give-a-poo poo CSI Guy. Edge of Teddy Bears  So our hero is nice to sick children. That was definitely worth spending another week to establish. I'm starting to suspect that Jam Esallen lays out his plots like he's directing a movie or a TV show, not writing a comic strip. He doesn't seem to realize that something that might take only a few minutes to do in a movie can take weeks or months of comic strips to play out. Why is he bothering to include the whole conversation with the sick kid who's got absolutely no relevance to the plot? You could do it in one panel: "Here you go, Bobby!" "Wow, thanks, Doc!"
