EasyEW posted:Skippy (September 9, 1930) I didn't know if "revolkalutionists" was a thing, so I googled it and got this Salon article. quote:Before "Peanuts" there was "Skippy." And "Always Belittlin'." And "The Clancy Kids." And a wealth of other illustrations by Percy Crosby, one of America's most talented comic strip artists. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1891, Crosby's illustrious career began when he was in his teens, at a Socialist newspaper where fellow workers called him "Comrade Crosby." It ended in 1964 when he died, isolated and destitute, in an insane asylum. He had been committed 16 years earlier when he was diagnosed, possibly wrongly, as paranoid schizophrenic and delusional.

Mister Mind posted:Can you guys clarify just what you mean here? I myself hate the Baldo strip, but I can only read this one as, "Families care about you. My aunt cares about me." Are you being like Alterian at the top of the page here? The snotty inference that Baldo's friend doesn't know what a family is because Baldo's friend family bad while Baldo family good and perfect and holy and oh god why won't mis niņos call me I'm so lonely

 If skipping a class from time to time is a sign of irredeemable shittiness of the soul, then there has never been a decent person who went to college in the history of time.

Also, I hate Baldo. And his dad. And his little sister. And his aunt. And I hope that didn't spill over too much into my original comment.

Rand Brittain posted:I forget, has any Modesty Blaise story yet involved her and Willie being seriously incommoded, or is it just an endless parade of us pitying the fools who didn't realize who they were messing with? There are a few, and a couple where they just flat-out lose, but in general "Modesty Blaise" is competence porn. What's interesting as the strip goes forward is that O'Connell introduced just enough continuity that he had to go out of his way to find threats who either wouldn't have heard of Modesty, or who were self-confident enough to try it on with her and Willie anyway.

I feel kind of bad for Sprocket Nitrate, even though she's the sort of gal who would feed you to a hyena for laughs. Dunno if that means the writers are doing a good job or not.

Evil Mastermind posted:Super-Fun-Pak-Comix is stuck in a no-win situation. Why do I get the sinking feeling that somewhere, somehow, an idiot peed in public while drunk and was forced into forever jail because he was slapped with both a notification requirement and an ankle bracelet at the same time? Tracksuit  Hey, that's a new character template. Wonder if we'll ever see her again. Mother From Another Country  As you can see, actual foreigners use the word when describing other foreigners, so it is not inherently insulting. Except in the second person, then it's insulting no matter who does it.

The thing to remember about Intelligent Life, as with Luann, is that there are no good characters: they're all terribly written caricatures of themselves. It's just that, in both cases, the people we're supposed to identify with and root for are completely insufferable, unlikable cockslaps, which makes bush-league jerks like Barry and Tiff look good by way of comparison. They are not. Don't be fooled. Both strips are funnypage cancer. Bimmi fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Nov 7, 2017 |

 I'm inclined to point out the bad timing of this strip, but, to be fair, Greg would be hard pressed these days to find a time when a strip about shooting wouldn't be bad timing.
