If there's one thing this terrible strip is sure of, it's who is REALLY getting the short end of the stick in 1950s America.


And since it ran for over 30 years - 1960s, 1970s and 1980s America, too.

I'm trying to figure out how big a growth spurt would take a skirt from a third of the way down the calf, the way McE has always drawn them, to a block away from the demilitarized zone. I'm also trying to figure out the bad life choices that led me to asking that particular question.

There's something uncomfortable with how Holbrook is spelling out that these two are gonna gently caress, especially because Rudy's design is still the same as when he was twelve years old.

Look, if these new hires can't handle someone like Fi, then clearly can't hack it in Fastrack licking the boot of their corporate overlord. Better to cut the chaff now, than have them crying to you later.

Honestly, if this doesn't end with Axa killing off all these slavers then it's already a terrible story. Hell, Jason needs to be cut down as well because he heard what this place does and he's still willing to work with them.

The only lover Axa needs is the cold, mechanical arms of Mark Ten. :colbert:

Makes sense when you realize that young Edda (as drawn now) has weird stubby legs but an otherwise adult-proportioned body. All the growth is in the gams!

I'm having trouble too. I think it's because that aside from the Shadow himself, the cast is mostly guys in suits with few, if any, distinguishing features. The Flying Jenny artist is better at making individual characters recognizable.

I wish to go on the record that I hate this story arc of Classic Kevin & Kell, which will run this week (July 12-16, 1999) and the next.









As a reminder: Dolly is Corrie's clone.

At around this time, in the real world, it was thought that clones aged much faster than "natural" animals, because on genetic analysis Dolly had shorter telomeres than normal: telomeres are the "ends" of chromosomes, and their length is directly correlated with age. The theory was, since Dolly was cloned from an adult animal, she was "born old" and would thus experience accelerated aging and die sooner than usual for a sheep.

This, however, isn't true: while the real world Dolly did die younger than usual, it was because of an illness that is typical of her breed of sheep, and had nothing to do with "accelerated aging," which was proven by the fact that other clones lived a normal life, without any unexpected symptoms.

If she was average height in 8th grade, she'd have been around 5'2", so the skirt length would be, oh, 2.5 feet, meaning she's something like 10 feet tall now. Add "giantesses" to the list of Brooke's fetishes.

Also pictured: how Brooke used to draw babies.

It's old. Like, 1993 old. But that's how he drew her when she was actually that age, versus now when he does flashbacks where she looks identical to her current, post-maternity look.

Apparently, since they're both half-fox, they follow fox mating rituals, which involve being alone together for three weeks before the deed, and they'd never done it before they were forced by this situation.

I don't recall this being mentioned before, but I have quite a large gap in my K&K knowledge since I stopped reading daily in the mid-aughts.
