The Classic Dinette Set doesn't like to walk. Working Daze makes a lazy joke, even by this strip's standards.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix is not covered by your insurance.

I"m starting to get the idea the Dinette Set aren't very nice people. It's a strangely smart satire on normal people and how lovely they are as a matter of course.

 Agreed on A3G though. F Minus  I heart bacon posted:They won't be Sloppy Joes, they'll be Orderly Darens.  I didn't remember this strip, so I got to enjoy it again. Mark Trail  "Now turn down the light while I caress my rifle." Mary Worth  The Phantom  Well I didn't expect that. Pooch Cafe  Hel posted:Ok, first I thought you were loving with us and sneaking in some edit, but they are seriously hiding the dog off-frame, while clearly drawing attention to it. Is this the new Apartment 3G where the writer tries to make the artist draw something they don't give a gently caress about? Rex Morgan MD  Edit: I like how with both Gilchrist brothers on Nancy, the signature is "Guy & Brad Gilchrist." Murdstone fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Sep 30, 2017 |

So yeah, as I mentioned I've been reading through the Peanuts archives on my morning/evening commutes. I'm enjoying the experience and I think others might as well so I think I'll start sharing some of the more interesting strips I find as I read. I'll try and keep my thoughts short and the posts infrequent as to avoid spamming up the thread with a bunch of  . Let me know if things get out of hand. Peanuts 1950 (Oct - Dec):  The first comic really sums up why I'm enjoying this series.  Brutal.  Wait so they're only 4? Yikes. And here I thought Calvin was too smart for his age.  CB of the first couple years is actually a pretty upbeat and derpy kid most of the time. That said his existential angst is present right from the start.  If I were to point to one key difference between 50s Peanuts and the more modern versions It would have to be that the 50's version is very grounded. For example early Snoopy is just a dog and does very dog-like things.  There are literally dozens of comics dedicated to the punchline "Snoopy likes candy".  One thing that makes Peanuts a much better read than other old comics is that it feels a bit ahead of it's time when it comes to misogyny and racism. It's not perfect mind you (for example it will be almost 2 decades before the strip gets a black cast member) but it really seems like Shulz is quietly trying to be on the right side of history and I respect that.  No comment here. I just kind of enjoy this one.  Hey look at that! It's the first appearance of CB's iconic shirt! It actually kind of feels like I'm reading Peanuts now.

Johnny Walker posted:Rex Morgan MD I thought at first that they were going for one of those "invisible dog" joke leashes, but that doesn't really fit June's reaction. Unless she doesn't get jokes.

It's not as bad as you'd think:  Most of the rest of the comments are giving Gunther sex advice. The guy who makes up a dozen titles for every strip hadn't shown up when I looked. gently caress this community.

Aardmania posted:9 Chickweed Lane Oh yeah. Screw that guy who married your mother and raised you as if you were his own, which he thought you were but your mother got pregnant when she slept with a Nazi and never told him, but married him out of some weird feeling of obligation, trapping both of them in a loveless marriage for decades. This is all part of a beautiful love story somehow. F Minus  Mark Trail  Mary Worth  The Phantom  Pooch Cafe  So Hudson is either just "worthy," or an alien, or an android, right? Rex Morgan MD  I wonder if Beatty's reintroducing Rene the art forger/teacher again. Flash Gordon April, 1956  Geez guys he hasn't even done anything wrong or expressed a desire to.  Ok, yeah, he's evil, but they had no way of knowing that.  What is he doing to that car?
