Ha ha! It's funny because that child lives in constant fear of being kidnapped and eaten!

I think the joke is that he doesn't live in constant fear, and that this means he's more likely to be killed and eaten.

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.
Every time I think Percy Crosby can't be more interesting, I learn something new like this.

I also find it weird that some categories have "No Prize Awarded" for the top prize in the category, but they have a second place. :confused:

They never bugged me in the first place. There's worse art in a lot of other strips in this thread, tbh. (Granted, it's usually 'soulless and bland' bad and not 'the art is good but all the faces are a bit weird' bad)

Alley Oop is the latest comic to get a reboot. It's about a time travelling caveman. The new version starts today.

George Gene Gustines posted:

A new creative team, the writer Joey Alison Sayers and the artist Jonathan Lemon, will chronicle the exploits of the title hero six days a week, Monday through Saturday. On Sundays, they will tell the story of Li’L Oop, a new preteen version of Alley Oop that will focus on his early middle-school years.

I just can't get over this. Not only is it a dumb joke that has been made approximately seventy-trillion times, but the author also doesn't know what antipasto is and didn't bother to look it up. Or rather, seems to have confused it with pesto.
