It really doesn't get more Staton/Curtis than a character named Public Domain.

Shouldn't they at least spell it different, like "Public DeMain" or something like that? I guess DT is historically pretty on the nose with their character names a lot of the time but other times it seems a little less obvious.

How do you gently caress up such a simple visual metaphor, you make the tombstone super wide and make the other tombstones next to it appear all huddled you have to be incredibly incompetent to gently caress it up holy gently caress

Manspreading isn't about being tall it's about spreading your legs when seated in public areas to the detriment of other people sitting near you gently caress

Holbrook comics really have their own special way of pissing me off. They're really consistent, over years and years, but they're always consistently not funny. Like it's tuned to some bandwidth of humor that's above or below what any normal person would find funny, and he just never ever fixes it. Every comic ends with a panel like "And here's the punchline! Good eh?" and your brain is just like "what the gently caress? no"

Skippy (June 2-3, 1930)  Peanuts, in which Sparky screws with my suspension of disbelief. (August 3-4, 1970)   Sally Forth   Funky Crankshaft   Cranky Funkshaft   Rip Haywire   Out Our Way (September 17-18, 1930)   Ladies and gentlemen, mini golf has landed. Wikipedia posted:The first standardized minigolf courses to enter commercial mass-production were the Thistle Dhu ("This'll Do") course 1916 in Pinehurst, North Carolina, and the 1927 Tom Thumb patent of Garnet Carter from Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. Thomas McCulloch Fairbairn, a golf fanatic, revolutionized the game in 1922 with his formulation of a suitable artificial green—a mixture of cottonseed hulls, sand, oil, and dye. With this discovery, miniature golf became accessible everywhere; by the late 1920s there were over 150 rooftop courses in New York City alone, and tens of thousands across the United States. This American minigolf boom of early 20th century came to an end during the economic depression in the late 1930s. Nearly all minigolf courses in the United States were closed and demolished before the end of the 1930s. Which is my way of saying it'll probably be inescapable in the short term. Thimble Theater (February 18-19, 1931)

Thanks for the kind replies, all. It sounds like I was mistaken about the lack of interest in what I was posting. I think this is where I left off: King Aroo (March 7, 1952)  Nancy (April 25, 1944)  Wash Tubbs (December 23, 1929)  Gasoline Alley (January 21, 1924)  Lil' Abner (September 20, 1937)  Barney Google (January 22, 1923)  Alley Oop (April 23, 1934)

Holbrook is just as depressing in person as well, especially with his daughter dressed as Dethany* when she's around. Family Circus  Rose is Rose  One Big Happy  Foob  Compu-Toon  Bizarro  Dilbert  * From "On the Fasttrack!"
