"Go on until you're stopped."
The only thing that isn't boring about The Phantom is the evil stuff the Phantom is constantly doing, and given that I'm pretty sure that the author isn't aware of the fact that the Phantom is an awful person, I have to wonder what he thinks the comic is actually about.

Andy Capp is a wife-beating, unapologetic, unemployable, scrounging drunk. He is what the lower classes believe the upper classes think all the lower classes are like, and is what the middle classes secretly wish they could be. He is symptomatic of the class warfare inherent in all British life.

The state should be smashed, eat the rich, burn the council estates etc.

Well sure, but according to the Go Comics about page for it:

http://www.gocomics.com/andycapp/about posted:

Andy and his wife, Flo, live out the epitome of functional dysfunction. From the pub to the bedroom, Andy’s misadventures paint an indelible portrait of an extremely British battle of the sexes. Join Andy and Flo as they bicker their way through life. Their banter can be hostile, caring, sarcastic and adorable: the perfect ingredients for a lasting marriage.

Pretty grim for the funny pages. Right up there with a few of the Prince Valiants. I love it! It's funny I never appreciated those comics as a kid but now they're amazing. I don't think we had FG but I hated PV and thought it was dumb and boring and just glazed over it. Probably because of all the words. Now I think about it and it's amazing they fit so much into a once a week strip and are also able to keep a story going long-term. On top of that the art is just awesome most of the time.

You know, I always assumed that the Noodle Incident was that report on the brain that he did.

Also, the newspaper I had growing up didn't have Prince Valiant or Flash Gordon, they're pretty good and it's much easier to get into them than I was worried about, considering how long they've run.

Watterson stated in the 10th anniversary book that other than that one allusion, there are no specifics about what the Noodle Incident actually was. Much like the particulars of Hamster Huey and the Gooey Kablooey, he felt it was better left to the readers' imaginations to fill in the blanks.

We (the thread) have seen Lio before, the general consensus was initially positive but grew less so when it seemed to only have one joke and to not do anything that interesting with it.

That was years ago though, it might have changed.

Star-Trek (Happy New Year! It is now officially 1980! :toot:)



Firstly, I like the playing with the panel borders in the Saturday strip. Nice to see in 1980.

Secondly, I also like that explanation of the impulse engine in the Sunday strip. It seems so far that NPST is mindful that a lot of readers will be people like me, that is people who like Trek but haven't necessarily memorized every technical detail. (Probably a good call back before VCRs and the Internet made obsessive fandom much easier to pull off.)



Spock, you're also an unfeeling machine; are you really truly 100% super-dupes sure you can't tell the computer to let us go?



And so ends the first storyline of Newspaper Star-Trek! :confuoot: Yes, it really is that abrupt. I thought they'd at least end it on a Sunday, but I peeked and the next strip has nothing to do with this one. So much for the ad copy's claim that Sunday-only people won't get left out on plot points, I guess!

I'll be starting the new adventure next weekin a couple of weeks (forgot about a baby shower I'm going to). For now, here's a link to the imgur gallery of this first storyline, Called Home: http://imgur.com/a/AXVIx


He-Man




I like that Skeletor is a great big skellington man with bones for a face, but still manages to emote (and get flopsweat, if the lower left is to be believed). In the last panel, for example, he's pulling off a great :wtc:

Everybody in this strip is so cut, even that weird-rear end fish dude.
