Drama like this belongs on the silver screen. And what a leading man! I'm having artistic whiplash here. I had almost forgotten how... unique M.W's old style was.

It also would have worked, as someone else would have noted, without the last panel entirely. This close to being funny-this close!

26 year old me wants to go back in time and tell 13 year old me Scott Adams is a rampant raging rear end in a top hat, just to see what 13 year old me's reaction would have been. I read the comics pages religiously through middle and high school. I remember thinking that Dilbert was one of the "generally above par" comics.

I still think that for at least nine out of ten comics with the occasional slip up where the rear end in a top hat creeps in. Oh well, at least the cartoon was pretty good.

I'll have to find and post my old collection of comics I cut out from the paper. At one point half of my bedroom walls were covered in (mostly) newspaper comics that I thought were really funny. I specifically remember a Dilbert with Loud Howard, where Loud Howard is yelling right in Dilb's ear and the thought bubble was something like "Agh! His warm, moist breath is all over me!" Most of the collection is probably F Minus. I also really liked Close to Home, which I know somebody in here talked about having to do the coloring for and despising it. I always thought the art was serviceable for the kind of humor, like a Far Side/Dinette Set type of jokes, like it was supposed to look ugly. Hit more often than miss for me anyway. TBF I don't think I'd want to color it either though.

Most comics are best when they're new, before the creators get comfortable enough to start inserting their fetishes and prejudices.

A HUNGRY MOUTH posted:I've given "The Gay Thirties" a lot of chances, but it reads overwhelmingly like a bitter "Out Our Way" where all the young boys are being scolded by strict moms, the awkward teens are tricked into spending their allowance on girls greedy for ice cream sodas, and the husbands lose every argument against their frankly bellicose wives. It's even less good-natured than a comic about The Urge to inflict violence on idiots and hypocrites. Manuel Calavera posted:Bizarro Dream of the Rarebit Fiend (click for huge)  And He Did.

Slammy posted:The Gay Thirties (February, 1935, click for big)) Ha, of course after I call TGT out for exorcising the creator's dissatisfaction with life, the very next panel has a genuinely warm nostalgia. But then, idealizing Good Old Turn-of-the-Century Dad as contented, affluent, and respected still fits with the undercurrents of inferiority and resentment. ("Pop had it all . . . how come I get no respect from the missus?") Slammy posted:Yeah, I love it too. I think I'm going to give this strip some more chances.

The Classic Dinette Set protects peoples' jobs. Working Daze makes an amazing observation like and share if you agree.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix ponders the nature of self-awareness.

Evil Mastermind posted:The Classic Dinette Set protects peoples' jobs. It's me, the guy who remembers way too much of the suburban Midwest when he reads The Dinette Set. I think the strips with the kid are the ones that bother me the most. The idea that these are adults who actively seek to suppress goodwill and empathy in the only child they regularly interact with, and that their behavior is generally fairly close to the way a lot of people really feel, bums me out something fierce.

While I still have the chance, I'm guessing that the Phantom's mole is the evil police officer, because of course the Phantom supports local police departments in authoritarian countries.
