EasyEW posted:Skippy (August 9, 11-12, 1930) I don't know if it's been mentioned in the five hundred comics megathreads we've had, but in Percy Crosby's first Skippy novelization, Skippy's friend Sooky dies in an accident while gathering firewood from a building site at night. Crosby wasn't about to depict that in the comic, but Sooky did disappear from the strip and Skippy began writing copious letters to his dead friend ("When you used to be here, Sook...") This strip got amazingly profound at times.

Arlo and Janis Tina's Groove Classic (March 5, 2006)  Arlo and Janis Classic (March 5, 1996)  Garfield Classic (March 5, 1986)  Pastry of the Year posted:I'm going to indulge in a little experiment here: I'm going to find out with the rest of you if Garfield was "ever good." So, several months and many strips later, I've come to the conclusion that old Garfield is actually pretty good! It's lively, colorful, and observant. I almost feel like the tail ended up wagging the dog, so to speak; the cliches about Garfield ended up informing what the strip ended up becoming, which led us to today's Garf in 2017. But thirty-plus (!) years ago, it earned its popularity. I realize this isn't the best Garfield alongside which to make this observation, but the past couple days made me genuinely laugh, so.

Have your children attended medical school? How exactly are they supposed to intuit that you're sick? Pastry of the Year posted:Arlo and Janis If somebody could Red and Rover this for me, that would be great. Is the joke that she accidentally washed his phone in the dishwasher? Did he, for some reason, select a ringtone that sounds like silverware falling on the floor? Is this a sex thing so kinky it passes beyond my comprehension?

Julet Esqu posted:Heh. The comic was kind of dancing around calling those men slaves, referring to this as a chance to start a new life helping their new tribe rebuild and soforth. But I think once you include human beings in your list of "spoils of war" and talk about whipping them into shape, you kind of lose your plausible deniability. Don't worry, it turns out being a slave isn't all that bad! Prince Valiant
