Satisfying. A few years ago I sent Meehan a fan email explaining how much I enjoy his comic, as it's a rare goodie in a sea of badies, and he quickly responded with a nice thank you and well wishes. Now every so often I get emails from him because I guess I share an unusual name with one of his associates. A sweet inside peek into the cut throat world of syndicate comics (not really, the emails are always boring and I always remind him to send them to the right person).

Fingerpori   Jarla hates pseudo treatments.  Jarla also hates nazis, or "immigration criticals" as they call themselves. Here "opening the game" means starting the discussion but also spreading your genital.    Diana's line lampoons the way magazines are marketed here. Unfortunately Phantom magazine exists no more   "veti itsensä piippuun" or "pulled himself into the chimney/pipe" is an idiom that comes from an engine backfiring (piiputtaa), but surprisingly here the pun translates effortlessly but with a new meaning!

Ghostlight posted:Yes, and also a lot of wood was burnt on how Luann couldn't invite Gunther to her brother's wedding. Which is extra hilarious now that we see her dog was apparently invited. Plus that wedding planner-cum-officiant was flipping out that some firefighters came in mussed up after just having battled a forest fire, but having a dog (literally named Puddles because he pisses inside) running around the venue is a-okay!

Skippy (September 12-14, 1929)   Peanuts (December 20, 1969)  Funky Winkerbean  Did we just see the first successful suicide in the strip's history? And does that mean the week leading up to Christmas is going to be filled with funerals and recriminations and an anti-Internet screed? It'd be a nice change of pace, which is why I'm not buying it.

Hollywood is a black hole that destroys all that is good and metastasizing in the world in its greedy pursuit of money and stories over pathos and smug. (Translation: Batiuk tried and failed to make Funky Winkerbean into a franchise like Garfield or Peanuts out there and is still bitter about it.)

Garfield and Peanuts calendars with words of the day are charming because Garfield and Peanuts are about concepts (cats, gluttony, kids, dogs fantasizing about being different jobs, free floating anxiety and kids being bad at baseball) that are inherently charming. Funky Winkerbean is about cancer, death, teenage pregnancy, being maimed in drunk driving accidents, debilitating diseases, the inevitability of getting old and losing your physical and mental faculties, that one flirtation with incest, and nobody wants to be reminded of that

To be fair there was that one pretty awful Peanuts special about cancer, but that was the exception rather than what with Funky Winkerbean would be an iron clad rule.
