The art isn't even that bad compared to some of the stuff that gets posted here. (Why the hell do people want to touch other peoples' hair anyway? That poo poo's weird and creepy, don't do that.)

I admit I sometimes find myself wondering what someone's hair (or jacket, or sweater, or whatever) would feel like to touch, but I don't ask to touch them because I'm a frigging adult.

Hey can anyone help me to identify this strip?   These were published in Finland in 1967-69 under the title "Viljami". So the best guess for the original name would be "William" or something similar. ' VVVV Thanks! Kennel fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Jan 6, 2019 |

StrixNebulosa posted:I am enjoying Ye Olde Foxtrot and can't wait to see more! Thanks! I really dig Everett True and actually have a deep nostalgic affection for old Heathcliff mostly from the TV Show and the Marvel Comics adaptation, but I remember having a bunch of the paperback collections as a kid as well. I... respect the artistry in Andy Capp more often than it makes me laugh? The older single panel comics have great draftsmanship, and I admire the economy of the new ones. Selachian posted:Definitely looks better than the movie version. Oh jeez, that's At the Earth's Core? Great McClure/Cushing Film. Thanks for posting Retail by the way, I've been enjoying it. catlord posted:Oh, interesting! I have to admit, I've never read the original Tarzan stories, so when I picked up Tarzan vs Predator I was surprised when these guys showed up. I'm looking forward to it! Also glad to see Foxtrot, I know there's a lot I've never seen. Huh, I'll have to check those out. The Mahars are from another Burroughs series, and he did a crossover between Tarzan and Pellucidar, so it makes sense they'd show up in newer crossovers. Esplanade posted:Russ Manning! Yep, he drew the daily from 67-72, I like his art too, so I might go back and start from the beginning of his run after this story line. And nope, I don't think there are any robots in his Tarzan run, but he did do the Star Wars Comic Strip for a while.

Rahonavis posted:But... ducks are a kind of bird? You ever see a sparrow smoking an unfiltered cigarette? Didn't think so.  Sally Forth  Peanuts (January 9, 1972)  BoyLisa and Mopey Pete's Rainy Day Fun Page  Crankshaft  And now, as promised on New Year's Day, Life Presents Skippy. Before the name was bolted to the legacy of the Time-Warner media megalith, there was a whole other Life Magazine, a weekly that was effectively the American answer to Punch. While there were written pieces, the founder was a professional illustrator and it was one of the first periodicals to use a new high quality printing process, so the big draw was the art. Life v.1.0 was the launching point for Charles Dana Gibson, who eventually became a big enough deal that he bought the magazine, and his Gibson girls. Over the years, its pages hosted Robert Ripley, Norman Rockwell, Palmer Cox, H.T. Webster...and, eventually, some dude (and (no fooling) future Olympic medalist in drawing and watercolors) named Percy Crosby.  (Proto-Skippy from February 1, 1923) While Crosby was churning out newspaper features at a pretty good clip in the teens and twenties, magazines were the prestige gig, especially in one that cost you 15 whole cents at the newsstand. As subject matter goes, he'd been gravitating towards kids, particularly urban and slum kids, in his frequent Life contributions, so when he pitched a regular feature to his editors, that's what he brought to the table. "I drew up three pages and thought of forty-four names (among them Beanie and Jumper)—Skippy last on the list. A minor editor put his oar in and suggested Tiny Tim. I bristled with [sic] such uncalled-for interference, and... the thought flashed through my mind: '[The title] had to be Skippy and nothing else!'" The editors were high enough on Skippy that they introduced the new feature with a full-page ad. And if all of the above is kind of a long-winded introduction for a single cartoon page every Sunday, obviously I picked a title that needs an explanation. Also, I like making words. It's a great way to remember your alphabet.  (March 23, 1923)
