Welp. Extreme sympathy for Peach and Olive in "Mark Trail". Borderline Personality Disorder is no joke.

I had this whole album on cassette when I was a child and I played it a LOT. Listening to this song again all these decades later all I can think is, my poor parents.  This is a little kid that everybody knows gets into poo poo if she isn't supervised, yet nobody ever supervises her. Can't say I feel bad for them.

In this installment of The Timid Soul (March 1, 1937), it's interesting to see how far back the "this means you" phrasing was being used. Also, note that "week-end" was still being hyphenated. And, as always, the reflection of the chair legs on the polished floor.

Ulf is a weird character. I like him as a cool gay man who is successful at his career, but him calling Leevi hot and pinching his bicep counts as workplace sexual harassment. The way Anja is side-eyeing him in the last panel makes it seem like she thinks so as well. goatface posted:Wow. Straight up donating her legal identity to an escaped, cloned sapient creature in order to deceitfully escape living in an adoptive household with MHI and return to living as an item of clothing. To be kind of fair, pretending you're a piece of clothing seems like a pretty good way to avoid being murdered in Hellworld. I do agree there's a lot of unintentional  -ery in this one, especially when you consider that Bruno and Connie are coded as queer kids dating.We'll be getting into it soon, but this is a preview of Shelley's friends being pretty awful.

What's really driving me crazy about Safe Havens right now is all the flipping out over meeting the exact reentry requirements when they're the only spaceship that exists. They can just explain the reasons why the current crew doesn't match the old one in the original manifest. How is there dramatic tension? What exactly would happen if they didn't meet the reentry requirements? Would they not be allowed back onto Earth? How and why does this bureaucracy even exist when the main characters and her friends literally invented long haul space travel and this trip was an initial test run?

These are from an anthology of Charles Addams’ work published in 1950 – Monster Rally. I’m trying to find the others that my Mom had acquired through the ‘50s and ‘60s. As a child of the mid-1960’s, my mother had no problem with handing these to her kids. She loved Addams’ work, and finds him hilarious (if a little dark) to this day. My mother bought completely into the rumour (which Addams never squelched; in fact, he reveled in it) that he would get nuttier and nuttier until he’d be committed for a spell, after which his work would revert to somewhat tamer precincts. I credit these anthologies with shaping my warped and dry sense of humour. There are only two in color: the frontispiece and the backpiece. Off we go.  Frontispiece:  The theme starts early that kids are, at heart, little shits.   On the other hand, they have their reasons.   Not really sure what the gag is supposed to be. "Progressive" schools were, I believe, something like the Montessori system.

I find it interesting that, in such an old publication, they insert a gay character whose homossexuality isn't his sole defining trait. He is not a good person in this story - he is in this village to "do a capitalism". He is just much more sophisticated than the people at the village and he can manipulate them very effectively (either for laughs as when people were afraid of his gayness, or more seriously to destroy/appropriate the hard work of the dwellers of this small town).

Rhymes with Orange Get Fuzzy 12/26/00  Brenda Starr 2/18/45  Over in Li'l Abner, Al Capp had a recurring character named Joe Btfsplk, The World's Worst Jinx -- a weird little man in a big hat who occasionally wandered into the strip, bringing bad luck and chaos wherever he went. I wonder if Messick was inspired by that here. I like the little detail of the quilted sleeves and collar on Hank's jacket. Smokey Stover 2/26/39  Richard's Poor Almanac  Bonus ad!
