Hobnob posted:Since we don't see many strips from the UK here, I'm going to be posting a couple of old strips that I liked growing up. First up is The Perishers: These would be from 22nd-25th September 1986, I believe; you can work it out from the little letter-and-number code on each strip. I really liked The Perishers going up and I recently went back to complete my collection of the books. A lot of it hasn't aged well, in particular the frequently rehashed story lines and the occasional "might have been an excusable product of its time twenty years earlier" racism, but some parts remained strong - particularly any time it really leans into the crippling poverty Wellington lives in, or the almost Walt Kelly style social mockery it does with the animal characters. I do find this later stuff harder to like, though, mostly because of the art. You can tell Dodd cares - and he does have a pretty good line in bizarre expressions - but the skill and detail of Dennis Collins' work was frequently incredible by the standards of daily strips and the bar he set was always going to be tough for anyone else to match.

Regarding Bloom County, whenever I see anything about Princess Di in the US, I always think back to how she visited a JC Penny at a local mall here way back in the 80s. It seems so surreal. It's almost as surreal as the X-Men wedding reception or whatever it was they had at the same mall. I can't find pictures of that but that was weird as gently caress. Cyclops and Jean were both dressed in wedding gear. Wolverine was inexplicably in his costume with his claws permanently out, but he was smiling and laughing the whole time. I want to say he did a toast to the couple, but I don't remember many more details. Bizarre. I saw my boss from Blockbuster there. He was the only one who dressing in a costume. He was Havok. This is the most 90s story I have. F Minus  I guess this is an anti-death penalty cartoon? Mark Trail  Mary Worth  Mmmm. Toasted muffins. The Phantom  Pooch Cafe  Rex Morgan MD  The plan these two had sounds worse and worse. They weren't going to get any sort of quality getting-to-know-you time with their grandson this way. What was the point of this? If it was just to physically see him and make sure he was safe, there was no reason to engage the Morgans. Well I guess I can't blame people for not acting rationally when it comes to children though. Apartment 3-G  Professor Wayne posted:The Creeps

 Again supposed to be evidence of Ann Eiffel's inherent EEEEEVIL, but we still haven't seen any more evil than your average commission-based or MLM salesperson. Luann's just a dumbass because I still don't know how she doesn't know who this person is.

My Lovely Horse posted:I feel like I remember a storyline where Spider-Man was desperate to avoid becoming a blood donor because his blood is radioactive. Was that in Ruins? Actually way back in the 60s he gave Aunt May a blood transfusion, only for a later storyline establish that the radioactivity was killing her, forcing Peter to go to Doctor Connors to figure out a cure and then fighting the criminals who stole the necessary serum (culminating in If This Be My Destiny, AKA The One Where Spidey Lifts A Bunch Of Heavy poo poo). Also Spider-Man Reign established that his, erm...other fluids were radioactive. See: My redtext.

I thought Reign was non-canon, akin to a What If? Or is it actually a valid Marvel verse, with its own number and everything?

NRVNQSR posted:These would be from 22nd-25th September 1986, I believe; you can work it out from the little letter-and-number code on each strip. Ah thanks. I'd worked out the month - October 25th is always notable in the strip, of course, and I could see the code resetting on New Year's Day - but I wasn't sure which year the "U" strips corresponded to. I'd wondered about the casual racism, particularly with characters like B.H. around, but didn't see anything too awful in a quick skim of the collections I have. I guess we'll see. I don't have strong memories of pre-83 Perishers (though I must have read them at the time) so I don't miss Collins artwork, though one of the things I always really liked about the stip was the artwork of the landscapes. The reason I started here was because I definitely remember having this collection at the time, though I just received another collection I ordered (1984-85 strips, I believe) and I remember those as well. And I've ordered some older collections too, so I may end up skipping backwards in time a bit when they get here.

For that matter, so are all of the What If? stories (except for I think some of the comedic ones). Obviously 616 Peter doesn't have the same problem (although as I mentioned, his radioactive blood was A Thing).

It's usually just B.H., and his portrayal is generally no worse than Apu in the Simpsons - or you could say it's just as bad as Apu's, depending on your opinion of that.
