Ok, I have something cool to share. But first: Dykes to Watch Out For #128 (1992)   "In re Guardianship of Kowalski" was a landmark court case that ruled, after a long and arduous legal battle, that Sharon Kowalski's long-term partner Karen Thompson could be declared her legal guardian after Kowalski suffered serious physical and mental injuries in a 1983 car crash. Guardianship of Kowalski was initially granted to her father, who stripped visiting rights away from Thompson and did everything in his power to deny the pair's romantic relationship. Issues swirled around what legal rights could be extended to same-sex partners, and the ability of the mentally diminished Kowalski to consent to the terms of her care, but eventually-- nine years later!-- Thompson was named her guardian, with rights "tantamount to a spouse." This was a landmark decision in the long, bumpy road towards legal gay unions and eventually marriages, but it was a hard-won and extremely expensive victory for Thompson. The stuff on the second page is a little close to home but is accurate for 1992 and scarily close to being accurate for the surprisingly recent past. Next the return of Sam's Strip (3/9/1962)  And finally-- I just discovered, courtesy of drrockso20 over in the Touching/Moving Panels thread, that there was a short-lived Batman comic strip that debuted in the wake of the tremendously popular movie in 1989. This was kind of an all-star strip-- it was initially drawn by the legendary Batman artist Marshall Rogers and written by Max Allan Collins before shifting to William Messner-Loebs and Carmine Infantino. A stacked lineup by any definition. You may recognize Collins' name from his great Road to Perdition or his long stint on Dick Tracy. Messner-Loebs is a legend in his own right who I'll cover when we get to the creative turnover. The strip ran from 1989-1991 and looks very promising, so I want to give it a little trial run here. You'll hopefully be struck by how beautiful the art is right away-- that is a hell of a cityscape, perfectly sharp and moody. Please let me know if you'd like to continue seeing it! It does have kind of a slow start but let's see how things go? Batman (11/6/1989)  Edit: I have skipped ahead and a little and oooh buddy, this comic eventually delivers on the kind of content this thread craves:  How Wonderful! fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Mar 7, 2021 |

Rhymes with Orange Get Fuzzy 3/7/01  Brenda Starr 1/10-12/46    Huh, so that Veronica Lake-looking woman who's been hanging around for a couple months finally has a name. Smokey Stover 10/22/39  Richard's Poor Almanac  WETA is the DC area's public radio station. They switched from classical to a news-and-talk format in 2005, but it didn't work out and they went back to classical a couple years later. Bonus Ad! The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, being a Texas newspaper, has lots of ads for oil and gas companies. This one caught my eye because of how proudly it mentions that their new gas is leaded. Humble Oil was a division of Standard Oil of New Jersey ("Esso"), which later changed its name to Exxon in the 70s.

I feel like transparent-background versions of Luann and Bernice turning away in terror might come in handy for all kinds of future edits. I might take a stab at it myself, but I have no particular skill at that sort of thing. So if I'm beaten to it by someone in the thread who actually knows what the hell they're doing, then so much the better.
