duz posted:For more details, it was originally a sequel to a movie he did in 1966 so it was more of a contractual thing than a serious thing. For serious casting they asked Arnold Schwarzenegger, Richard Gere, Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, Sylvester Stallone, Harrison Ford, Don Johnson, Nick Nolte, Mel Gibson and Richard Dean Anderson. Wasn't there some commotion over casting Willis because he was "the Moonlighting guy?"

Vargo posted:Holy poo poo, that opening panel throwaway gag. Yeah I cringed... My Lovely Horse posted:It's a row of classic black-and-white movies that receives the addition of the colorized version of another classic black-and-white movie. The obvious joke is that colorizing black-and-white movies and putting them on the same level as the authentic classics is the beginning of the end for them. However, the phrase "there goes the neighborhood" is commonly understood to stem from a context where "undesirables" move into an established real-life neighborhood, mostly rendered "undesirable" to the established inhabitants by way of their skin colour. As such, it invokes issues of racism at least subconsciously, which is perhaps an unfortunate parallel to draw to the area of movie colorization where the "establishment" is commonly seen as worth preserving unchanged and the "colored newcomers" as undesired; but maybe Amend, in a roundabout way, actually does want it to be read as "hey, colorizing the classics is okay, they're still the classics, no need to get all huffy about it." Agreed, but it's a 30 year old strip, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. We'll see how the rest of the 80's and early 90's strips are.

I don't think it was. Mrs. True is often shown as the only person who can out-outburst him.

Maybe his children just kind of faded away without explanation later, like Chuck Cunningham from Happy Days or that one sister who disappeared on Family Matters.

If you decide to skip ahead this all goes down in the November, 2018 strips. I got my hopes up with the lack of blood between the shot fired, ambulance, and hospital scene.

Jesus this thread's starting out strong this year. I all can offer is this garbage. The Dinette Set should have paid attention.  Working Daze reminds you of other, better comics.  Super-Fun-Pak Comix gives us this year's first appearance of an old friend of the thread.
