Slammy posted:Those Were the Days (April 10, 1952) Hey, hey, hey! Remember back in the good old days when people were ostracized for physical differences they couldn't control? But now they're... confident about themselves??? And people find value in them??? WTF?????? I've been reading Those Were The Days since it started being posted and I still don't get how I'm supposed to be reading it. My heart says ironically, like Kelly, but my brain says it was the early 50's and comedy wasn't there yet. But if it's not ironic, even in the 50's, how could you read this and not think, "Wow, that Art Beeman is a mean-spirited rear end in a top hat"?

Julet Esqu posted:Hey, hey, hey! Remember back in the good old days when people were ostracized for physical differences they couldn't control? But now they're... confident about themselves??? And people find value in them??? WTF?????? The basic premise isn't so much "old = good & new = bad", but "look how things have changed". Of course, that often results new weird trends being mocked as is normal for humans, but it's not always the case. For example here it gives a small jab at people who wear glasses as a fashion item, but shows that ~everyone does it and they seem happy. I guess the past time art being pretty realistic and new one being more cartoonish, gives an impression that the modern day people are always silly idiots, but my gut says that it's just to make the panels distinct and each mimics the style from that period.

Surgeon's Tales  Nancy  Dustin  I feel like there's hints of Ed getting called for his hypocrisy before the end of this story, but it's Kelley, so who knows. Of course, even if there is a lesson learned, it will be forgotten after a week. Mandrake

Kennel posted:Mandrake Is this normal? Mandrake doesn't even have a book yet; I thought the normal process for first-time authors was to actually write a book, or at least a competent first draft, and then send it around to find a publisher. "Here's a contract, write us a book" sounds really weird, considering he doesn't appear to have done anything of the sort before.

I don't think it's out of the question, and may in fact be fairly common, that a publisher would approach a celebrity with a book contract if they're a big enough name for the publisher to project a tidy profit. Depending on the person fairly hand-holdy editing guidelines and ghostwriters are probably involved.

Ah, the previous age of the Internet, when this wasn't standard practice, and "we sell your data to everyone" wasn't an open secret. No, I'm not old. Pity that "obfuscate everything about your identity" is even more relevant now than when this strip first ran.
