Manuel Calavera posted:Too-Tikki is a lady? I literally never realized. But in hindsight, she is the best so of *COURSE* Tove based her off her gal pal. I think it's one of those things where if you know she's based on Tuulikki, then it just seems obvious. Otherwise I could easily see someone assuming she's a dude, extra so since pronouns don't get used that much in Moomin. (And apparently some dubs have also referred to her as him.) Out of the shadow of the Moomins: Celebrating the graphics of Tuulikki Pietilä Sounds like she was as rad and supporting to Tove as Too-tikki is to the Moominfolk.

garfield hentai posted:Jeremy wanting to name the cat Clapton is giving the same vibes as 16-year-old Peter in Foxtrot being super into Bruce Springsteen Hi, I’m the 15-year old who was up front and center when Springsteen played a concert in town with a huge acoustic band playing old American folk songs. AMA. (Peter is basically me, is what I’m saying). Not to go into a rant, but seriously: if ya’ll ever get the chance, in the future, to see Springsteen live: do it. It seriously changed my life.

Slammy posted:Outbursts of Everett True (March 1918) JethroMcB posted:The other day I drafted a post criticizing Heathcliff, saying that it is a strip you can safely scroll past because, for as "crazy" as it is is, most of the time it's just something like Heathcliff and the kid watching a pug driving a Go-kart with a pug's face on the front, and the kid says "Pug-Kart." And that's it. Then, two weeks later, you'd see the exact same visual gag but now there would be two pugs driving and the caption would be "Go-Pugs." The strip isn't just lazy, it's repetitive. How Wonderful! posted:It also includes these following transphobic gems, which, no lie, shoved me all the way into the back of the closet in despair and disgust in college when I first read the drat book, so this page has turned into a true loving bummer to annotate!

Bechdel has written in various interviews about the influence Herge had on her art-- I think the thumbprint is pretty obvious.

A self-describing comic. What. even. is. this. I normally skip over holbrook, and all discussion of holbook as a deeply costly thing for my sanity otherwise. But what the gently caress? Am I supposed to know this character, who we only know as someone elses' daughter, so well that this completely nonsensical series of panels somehow forms a coherent thought. And not only that but find it funny? What the gently caress was going through holbrook's head? A bubble test makes no sense? Why? Is it supposed to be anti-humor about how the strip itself makes no sense up until the last panel? Is there some characteristic to "Autocorrect"(are they an actual character or literally the concept of autocorrect?) that would make them fill out a bubble test in that way?

Y favorite thing about Holbrook is how he’ll pretend to have some sort of scientific basis for certain things (like when he specifically notes that he’s editing out the time delay when communicating between Earth and Mars) but then completely negates any sort of scientific anything with, well, literally everything else.

For decades after the Civil War, protectionist policies held the Republican coalition together, but by the Wilson administration the Democrats viewed them as an unfair tax on consumers, and the Revenue Act of 1913 cut them drastically. The Act also established a permanent federal income tax in the wake of the 16th Amendment made that a thing the feds could do without fearing a court challenge.

Drawn and Quartered - 1942 Since this was published in 1942, by which time Operation Barbarossa was...not going well, I'm fairly confident that those are Russian wolves.       Not sure if a Rose Bowl parade call-out or just a sick burn on USC.

It annoys me how Holbrook drew the kids, including the stupid autocorrect, holding up papers IRL as a shorthand for there being a test. Online quizzes exist, Holbrook.  Oh my loving god, these two are the absolute worst. The kid's not playing with the robot because she sees Mars as a sibling, she's doing it because she grew up thinking of the robot as a toy. I don't think these two even explained to their kid what Mars's deal is, or that she has a sibling. Good job alerting the intruder, you morons. ikanreed posted:A self-describing comic. Self-describing is how Holbrook's "humor" works. He seems to think that doing a bunch of nonsensical visual metaphor and then having a character or textbox explain the punchline at the end is what passes for a joke. And if Classic Kevin & Kell is anything to go by, the man hasn't learned a thing for decades.

Cobalt-60 posted:Am I missing the joke, or is this just an early "Yoga is from Foreign Parts, and therefore Of The Devil"? I think the joke is that the guy thinks he can learn to walk on hot coals just by reading a book. Remember, at the time Addams drew this, firewalking wasn't something regularly done at corporate retreats and charity fundraisers. It would have been seen as a bizarre stunt from the Mysterious East, like lying on a bed of nails or the Indian Rope Trick.

Huh, never picked up on this, but it's certainly plausible. The weirdest thing about Cora is that as a baby she seemed to be the embodiment of autocomplete, since there were multiple strips where she'd randomly interrupt people in the middle of words by shouting out things that began with the appropriate syllable...but Holbrook never seemed to acknowledge, or possibly even realize, this.

I think the joke is that he's shoveled all the coals out of the furnace and put them on the floor to practice firewalking on, instead of leaving the coals to heat the house normally.

Why include that very specific detail if you're not going to do anything with it? I assume the extra drop is why her legs didn't turn green. But also it's just a fat joke, big woman needs some extra formula, even if it wouldn't work that way since it's a bathtub anyway.

The strip said that she didn’t turn green because she went outside when it was raining instead of sunny. The stuff was affected by the level of UV light.
