The one about the airlines charging for use of the oxygen masks was pretty good. Stopped clocks and all that, I guess. I can't help but read them, because it's so, so obvious that Batiuk fully expects latter-day Funky to be his legacy, and I would bet any amount of money that he's imagined getting the Fantagraphics "complete series in well-designed and meticulously appreciative volumes" treatment, but it's just not a very good comic strip at all.

I don't know if it's intentional, but I like how Pierce has timed it that Nate doesn't appear in Sunday strips during this storyline, so we don't get the awkward on-model Nate in the middle of a story where he's bald.

I must admit, there's something weirdly charming about Billingsley being so divorced from the times that he accidentally writes Curtis' dad as a massive loving hipster rather than a curmudgeonly middle aged guy.

Some last meteor riding, for fans of that sort of thing. Granted, not as satisfying as watching him ride it, like, a hundred feet, but still appreciated.

And so ends "Day of the Comet," the first arc in the Newspaper He-Man strip! There will be more to come some time in the future that I don't want to commit to!

Peanuts (May 17, 1970)



And now, a deep read that a random stranger posted on Tumblr:

skullmandible posted:

when i was a kid i had a collection of really old peanuts comics and this particular one from 1970 stuck with me so much

it is so perfect, such a study in contrasts between the nine panels of buildup and the crushing payoff, the bright clear day vs the all-encompassing rain, the restrained eagerness of the way he leans to see just a little further around the corner while waiting for the bus in the first panel, the enormous emptiness of the stadium around him in the last one driving home the fact that he has waited there, hoping for the sun, so much longer than anyone else, this contrasted against the adventuresome solitude of the set-up, because he’s there so much earlier than anyone else too, the MOST excited, that the only words in the comic are him sadly reading the rain check rules out loud to himself while still in his seat, in the rain

that the bus is the BASEBALL Special

if you boiled my comedic sensibilities down to their purest essence it would just be this comic, framed, hanging on the wall in an empty museum

The missing panel:
