This is an audience participation strip, because the melody line running at the top of the strip matches the "lyrics" in the panel underneath...so far, anyway. If you can read music, go for it. (January 17-18, 1923)

When I wanted some resolution to this whole plotline, I stumbled on a story that starts mid-December 2011 and runs off an on through most of 2012.

It starts with them together, so it's not her next appearance, but it is a good long chunk.

So the joke here is that the company pays for the employees clothing (despite everyone apparently having only one outfit) and the company ran out of money so the employees will have to wear barrels instead of the only outfits they have that apparently never wear out or need laundring because, again, they wear it every day.

Did I get that right?

I'm still like 40 pages behind, but I wanted to thank Glorified Scrivener for posting classic Foxtrot. It didn't appear in my local paper until after it had started to decline (the summer camp story with Phoebe and Eileen, whenever that was), but I liked it enough then to buy the collections, and I was shocked by how much better the early stuff was. It was so heartfelt and genuinely funny, and had some more serious storylines that it generally handled so well that they ended up being among the best strips of the entire run rather than cringy "very special episodes." I hate that it eventually devolved into a "Jason does a nerdy thing" daily, but people who only know the strip from its later days are in for a treat. It's like if Big Bang Theory started out as Freaks and Geeks, and it's honestly my favorite '80-'90s strip after Calvin & Hobbes.

Also, for the classic comics people—I would love if someone posted Harvey Kurtzman's Hey Look! The only collection is out of print and hideously expensive, and I figure there has to be someone here who has it, or at least more than what I've been able to find on the internet.

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.
In today's Corto Maltese: You didn't think that Corto would be the only one searching for this emerald, did you?, or I don't think Faiero has quite understood how Blackshirts function, or Shalom Melchisedec! Good to see you again.
