-On the way to Navajo Station -"Good heavens, an Indian!" Was this intentionally or unintentionally hilarious? Where did the image of the solitary native American gazing over the action or the scenery as a sign of "this is the West" come from? Real life or fiction?

Slammy posted:Hitz and Mrs. (November 1923) I was curious why Milt Gross would use the common "applesauce" for the bullshit panel instead of his own "Banana Oil!" catchphrase, so I looked it up and it turns out this strip was a month away from Banana Oil's debut. So here he's playing with the concept before he realizes he needs a change of fruit.

Zerilan posted:Is this somehow related to why he's apparently incapable of hunting? It does, yeah. IIRC, (spoilered since it hasn't been posted yet) Ralph used to be the star of his school's hunting team. He was so arrogant that he could hunt anything that he started talking to the prey in those sports games as a joke. One of them was a sheep, who was Corrie's mom, and the two ended up becoming lovers in secret. Then one day, something happened that separated the two, with Ralph not knowing his sheep girlfriend was pregnant at the time. Since then, Ralph has been unable to hunt because he subconsciously imagines the look of terror on his would-be victim's face. So Ralph is pretty much the only predator to have developed empathy in Hellworld. It also happens to make Kell look bad because she married a prey species and she still happily kills other people.

It's actually a little bit different from that. Ralph and Corrie's mum had moved in together were planning to keep Corrie and raise her as their own, but then the mum died in childbirth and Ralph, realising he couldn't raise Corrie on his own (he was sixteen at the time) gave her up for adoption. The reason Ralph is trying to kill Kevin so often is that he wants "to spare Kell the heartbreak or being married to a herbivore."

The Dinette Set thinks of them as perks. Working Daze should have stopped halfway through.  Super-Fun-Pak Comix looks familiar, but I can't place the face.  Cul De Sac ain't wrong.

Alhazred posted:The Good Innvandrer TGI- I appreciate the simplicity of the switch in color palette between panels 1 and 3. I know aside from a few "find the difference" elements it's just copy pasted, but I think that works sometimes, and anyway yeah the color thing was a nice touch TH- I've been really enjoying this comic so far

When I first started following these threads I kinda liked OBH, because I'm a sucker for "wholesome family" kinds of comics like Family Circus (yes, your Nana is a goon, I didn't feel comfortable telling you this at Christmas). The strip was always "child says pretentiously simple observation devoid of adult context, grandpa looks on proudly that She's Being Raised Right," but it feels like over the years a lot more of the gross hateful stuff has started to bubble up in a way that seems innocuous on first pass (as Manuel said- you skim it, you might not even see it) which in some ways is more insidious than poo poo that's more outright about its hatefulness like Dilbert or whatever that other comic was that people stopped posting. clarification- I'm not saying OBH is on the same hate-plane as Dilbert or needs to be censored or removed, but I think there's potential harm when hateful opinions are presented in a "cute" or "innocent" kind of way

Not enjoying the last few weeks of the Phantom just sitting and watching approvingly while a cop beats the hell out of two unarmed suspects. Yes, we who read this thing obsessively know that what these guys did to the cop was horrific. But that was months ago and lots of people probably just dip in and out. Also, even if the criminals are terrible, we shouldn't encourage cops to mete out their own justice. That's what the courts are for.

My Lovely Horse posted:I'm always curious to know what's going on in these old comics, the bad and the good alike. And with the amount of historic comics this thread posts, I've come to see it as an account of history at least as much as my light entertainment. If I'm reading a historical account, I prefer a full account. In fact, someone could probably do actual academic research based on the kind of stuff you all are meticulously digging up, but that hypothetical someone would need everything, or at the very least need to know where there are gaps. Please don't make yourselves the arbiter of "you don't need to see this". The most concise way I can put it (and concise is where I usually get into trouble, so fingers crossed): A large chunk of it is there's some parts of the past that don't feel like they're past enough. The other sliver of it is the slapdash way I drill down through the archives means this is legitimately the first time I'd run across this particular collision of themes that stink on ice in something I post on a regular basis. Anyway, if I've got sadbrains, it's not because of anything posted in or prepped for the comic strip thread, but I appreciate the wellness check. Enough about my hangups, though. Click the thumbnail for the missing 2/5/1917, because I'm still not the least bit tempted to put it up without a blast barrier.  So anyway... Sally Forth  Pearls Before Swine  Peanuts (February 3, 1974)  Funky Winkerbean  Still trying to remember how old Funky is supposed to be that he's getting an operation for glaucoma. Crankshaft  9 OH MY GOD THAT GAPING MAW AGAIN!  (Zoom zoom zoom....)   This is where I usually call for some cloud gazing, but it just occurred to me that Brooke's laughing mouths remind me of the thylacine. So instead: what other animals do Edda's open mouth remind you of? Because if your answer's "human", you're lying. Life (With Skippy) (January 29, 1925)  Elsewhere in the issue: BOOBS!  (John Held Jr.)  (Ellison Hoover shares some between-the-wars energy.)

I don't know what to do with the fact that I now find the dumb joke character in Kevin and Kell the most tragic and sympathetic character in the strip, and somehow those birds are fawning over these other assholes as the saviors of the world when Ralph is the only one who's developed what's necessary for a functional society.sweeperbravo posted:When I first started following these threads I kinda liked OBH, because I'm a sucker for "wholesome family" kinds of comics like Family Circus (yes, your Nana is a goon, I didn't feel comfortable telling you this at Christmas).

I think part of it is that it's also sort of subtly presented as "kids say the darndest things" and appears wholesome that made me not even realize it was there. It's not like Pat Cross or Branco who are incapable of hiding or being subtle about their transphobia, even if in their comics they were to present it as a kid saying it it would be immediately noticeable how awful and hateful it was being. That said I do remember goons mostly liking OBH a couple of years ago before I fell out of following the thread, aside from how bad the characters' mouths looked when they were drawn in a side profile, so it does seem like the strip has started to slowly change a bit from just being silly "kids don't understand things" jokes. Also every time I see the Ninja Kitty saying "RARE" my brain tries to make one of Reuben Bolling's Super-Fun-Pak comics about the guy walking into the bar going "I bet you fifty bucks this animal can answer this question." All I can come up with is either a Pokemon/card game rarity joke, or something about steak.
