When you first started posting that story and Tracy said he just came from a circus I suddenly had this image in my head where there's the circus story, and then it immediately repeats itself.

Julet Esqu posted:Phantom Classic F Minus  Mary Worth  You know, they still have't involved Mary in this at all. I don't think I've commented on that yet because I keep expecting her to show up like right after I think of it. I guess that might be who she's talking to on the phone but you'd think they'd show Mary talking on her end. Rex Morgan MD  That's the worst entendre I've ever heard. Jungle Jim  Gotta dance!

That's enough for her to get the credit for this happy ending.

This might seem weird, but I feel like MW... lost something once the artwork improved. I think the issue is that the dynamic, more technically proficient artwork doesn't match the general blandness of the plots. The recent plot lines are sedate (and easily resolved), so the almost surreal artwork of the previous artist was what held your interest. Even if the plot was bland, you could at least snark at a character's cross-eyes expression, or an awkwardly drawn beard or whatever. For the new artwork to be truly appreciated, we need to get a crazier, more dramatic plot line; something on the level of Aldomania.

Johnny Walker posted:Is this "She's going to Africa and he's coming to New York" thing a frequent premise in Classic Phantom or am I getting messed up by the Sundays/Weekdays being off? You are probably remembering a Sunday story. It took a long time, but we have finally overtaken the offset in original publishing date between the weekday and Sunday Classic Phantoms. The last few weekday Phantom storylines we've had are, for all intents and purposes, repeats. (If anybody's curious, the Sunday Phantom posted below was originally published on September 9,1951 while the last weekday one I posted was from August 31, 1949.)

I really appreciate depression-era heavy machining comix. Trade offs like these ring just as true today as they did in 1929, although J.R. Williams is going to be blown away by tungsten carbide inserts.

You'd think "characters in the corner explaining the joke with lots and lots of text", which shows up a lot in comics like that and old old school TDIET, would be annoying, and yet, their consistently so much funnier than modern newspaper comics. It's like everyone figured out newspapers are dying and now their comedy hospices.
