I think the syndicate panicked when they saw how much Ces was shaking things up in JP and demanded the Rex Morgan writer do the same thing, but he has no idea how to write tragedy.

I assume he took the phone out when he was fully stopped. Not sure why they didn't just go with "the bus has a safety camera for this reason," because that's a pretty common thing now.

Alley Oop (December 27, 1933)


Hey, I'm enjoying these fine historical offerings - classic Nancy, King Aroo, and Alley Oop have particularly grown on me - but is there any chance they can be posted a bit larger or more legible? I'd understand if your source is just that way.

In other news I crusade against Working Daze to save some of you from yourselves. Bad webcomics have no place here and Zachary Nixon Johnson was, to my memory, also a bad webcomic, so that trash nerd author has no place posting here. Do not "hate read." "Hate reading" feeds the beast and comes from your own unwillingness to admit to enjoying garbage. Pibgofn and Luann and whatever else trash I can scroll past, sure, but that's because they're products of actual newspaper content creators.

I have to agree. I know this is a big-tent megathread and all, but I get annoyed at people replying to recurring complaints about meritless junk with "just scroll" when these are strips that no one would ever miss.

I still keep up with the political cartoons thread so I'm definitely trapped in at least one hate-reading vortex myself, but when they banned "Day by Day" from that thread I instantly became a happier, healthier person. (If you don't know DbD, don't bother to look it up; it was the product of a right-wing hikikomori Floridian pretending to be a badass Texan and deemed too hateful, gross, and valueless for a thread about the political opinions of literal drunk drivers, wife-beaters, and MRA skinheads.)

I think it's just that Scots are a close race to Englishmen, because they're neighbours and thus related though racially different, and the illustrated comical joke is made of early 20th century WASP jokes. Nowadays the mainstream definition of race is equivalent to colour of skin, but in the hey-day of racism it was also skull measurements and other such metrics. Every village can be considered to be its own race if they're inbred enough.

Thanks! I know what you mean -- Gasoline Alley and Alley Oop, in particular, can get close to illegible sometimes. Unfortunately, I've scanned enough of each of these to last me at least another five months, so I won't be able to change things up any time soon. I'll make sure to increase the size during the next round of scanning, though.
