I only vaguely check in on them, so for whatever reason I just assumed it was the same house. Between the old/archive posts and the new ones it's all just a mashed together blur to me. I only really pay attention when one of the Holbrook strips annoy me, which is unfortunately all too often.

Henry Clay Medders cartoon. His gimmick was a bad enough combination of themes the last time I pulled the shades down on him, but this go-round was extra enough that I'm not going to touch it with a 104 year-long pole. Instead, here's a Toonerville from much later that doesn't make my head throb.  Speaking of gags that didn't age well, that Katrinka one was printed three days after Woodrow Wilson and Congress broke off official relations with Germany. The American leg of the European war was just a few months away. The revelations about the Zimmerman Telegram probably loaded a new subtext into the kids' Pancho Villa games, too. Dok's "Greetings, Music Lovers" Duck (June 10, 1913)  Let's not end this one on a down note. Hit it, Joe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWVFEVWJMz8

gently caress off with your boomerisms, Isopaljo. For a second, I was confused how the boss could even affect the wifi in Dethany and her husband's home. Then I remembered that they're still being forced in the boss's mansion. SubNat posted:I'm still so annoyed by this.

Kavak posted:Out of grim curiosity, what was it about? Description spoilered for people who don't have a grim curiosity. The gag is that a Kentucky colonel is settling a neighbor family's dispute with the kitchen help by firing off his gun to trigger a comedy about-face, which makes it sound like a standard TV/movie cliche gag. What escalates its radiation level is that the help is a woman of color and the Colonel is an old white dude who could've plausibly been a still-living Confederate vet in 1917 (with everything that implies). And there he is, standing on a hill puffing out his chest and holding a smoking gun while she's sprinting back to the house, leaving a trail of "yes sirs" and mid-air sweat drops in her wake. Leaving it out was a no-brainer...and that I pointed out it was missing shows that I'm a different kind of "no-brainer".

Were comic strips of the past more surreal, or am I just missing context? Does Axa spend more of her time topless or non-topless?

Cobalt-60 posted:Were comic strips of the past more surreal, or am I just missing context? It definitely seems like the format wasn't completely worked out and so it seems sort of awkward in some ways. It could also just be evolution of language. I love Dok's Duck but occasionally I'm not actually 100% sure what he's saying, or the sentence feels worded poorly. I have noticed that a lot of cartoonists in the 50s really love drawing women in their underwear, which is weird to me since you wouldn't be able to get away with that in modern comic strips. I think the closest there is is maybe like, Arlo and Janis? quote:Does Axa spend more of her time topless or non-topless? It seems to depend on the story arc, she's definitely spending more time topless in this one than in most of the others.

I think Axa's character design is topless, and having a top is the exception.

Twelve by Pies posted:It seems to depend on the story arc, she's definitely spending more time topless in this one than in most of the others. Huh. Just for the heck of it, I counted up to this storyline, including the parts we haven't seen just yet, and came up with these numbers: The Beginning: 24/30 The Chosen: 13/30 The Desired part 1 (Arkady Island): 5/30 The Desired part 2 (Sea Dome): 28/30 The Brave: 13/30 Total: 83/150 I had a feeling that they'd settled into her keeping it on in the first half to lose it in the second, but this quick glance shows that is inaccurate as gently caress. She's wearing a top just a bit over half the time. Johnny Walker posted:I think Axa's character design is topless, and having a top is the exception. It might as well be, let's be honest.

Willkie appealed to many convention delegates as the Republican field's only interventionist: although the U.S. remained neutral prior to Pearl Harbor, he favored greater U.S. involvement in World War II to support Britain and other Allies. His Democratic opponent, incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt, won the 1940 election with about 55% of the popular vote and took the electoral college vote by a wide margin. e; PainterofCrap posted:Drawn and Quartered - 1942 Gotta be a Romulan and Remus reference. maybe?

in this installment of The Timid Soul (June 15, 1931), HT Webster didn't have to include any additional legible words, but he did: if you look at the full-size version, you can see that the second line says "positively" and the third line, I'm almost certain, says "prohibited".

(No kidding by the way: if a student came up to me in the library and asked for material about comic strips, I'd recommend them a few books but I'd have no qualms to add that there's also this one interesting forums thread.) Plus if it distresses you personally this much to come across 100 year old racism, maybe you shouldn't be digging through 100 year old comics. This one seems to have thrown you for quite a loop. Please also don't legitimately hurt yourself mentally or emotionally on account of the light entertainment/historic account thread.
