EBB posted:I don't remember this one at all, did he just shove it in at the end of the story with the rework? Yeah. To be fair, it was added for the book release so it may have been to provide a bit of closure/explanation. After all we saw Archie/the choo-choo bear didn't spontaneously manifest like the bowl in the original story so I guess it was a bit inconsistent.

Moominposting And thus Lars ends the story with all the grace and finesse of accidentally triggering the emergency stop on a train. There's not even a Finis! Panel. Which makes me wonder if they just.. stopped instead of finishing it. Moomin stories have a habit of quickly wrapping up, but this very much feels like he just lost interest and wanted it done, now. e: This is apparently due to D&Q loving up the publishing of the volume.  Powered Descent posted:If they don't pay off that setup in the background of the knot in the tree, I'll be very cross. I'm very curious if they'll sneak that in as an easter egg in a future story, so keep your eyes peeled I guess. Next time, same place, roughly same time: Story 16: The Conscientious Moomins. e: Oh! " In June 2009, Drawn & Quarterly published the fourth volume of Moomin stories by Tove Jansson. Unfortunately, two strips are missing – the last one of the story Snorkmaiden goes Rococo (nr.52), as well as the conclusion of Moomin and the Golden Tail (nr. 109). This is very sad, especially because it's such a lovely edition in all other respects. Anyhow, for all of you who are in search of the lacking happy end for Rococo, here's the Swedish version. Postscript august 2010: After Drawn & Quarterly made a similar error in Vol. 5, they issued stickers with the missing strips, which is of course a graceful gesture.

I want to say Everrett True turns against the war towards the end, but I may be mistaken about that. Maybe ET is just sometimes wrong, but always absolutely sure of his convictions, whatever they may be at the time. That's no way to talk about Snorkmaiden!

My Lovely Horse posted:I don't want to toot my own horn here but I can remember when the thread liked One Big Happy and I said it sucked, and a few months later there was a swing to "wow One Big Happy sucks all of a sudden, was it always like this", and here we are now going "was Everett True always a protofascist icon" and, well, yeah, pretty much I'm gonna be SO pissed if the rabbit in Nekonaughey starts rounding up pink rabbits into gas chambers. Also I remember years ago, even when I kinda liked OBH, everything with that Bugsy kid really rubbed me the wrong way, so coming back to the thread after a few years' absence and finding it insufferable wasn't a huge shock.

Okay, I promised you a story that was at least tangential to Dok's Duck, but it turned out to be something of an epic, at least compared to the side business I usually throw into these posts. I came up with a boiled down version that is somehow still going to have to be divided up into four parts over the next few days...with interruptions about the duck's vacation with Sport the Umbrella Man, so that I can pretend this is still about comic strips. So beginning today,  THE SEATTLE DAILY TIMES AND THE POTLATCH RIOT OF 1913 (with superfluous interruptions by Dok Hager).Part 1: Setting The Stage  For those who came in late, pre-WW1 Seattle had an annual festival they called the Golden Potlatch, inspired by the success of a world’s fair they threw in 1909. The Golden Potlatch had the added flavor of integrating appropriated Native American imagery, to the point of business leaders cosplaying as tribal chiefs. Since it also drew in several ships from the Pacific fleet, the Potlatch doubled as shore leave for some members of the US Navy, and local taverns did booming business servicing masses of drunken sailors. That’s something to keep in mind once we push into the trickier part of the story.  Also, to truly understand what went down during the 1913 Potlatch, we have to deal with the reality of our favorite Seattle duck's employer at the time. Editorially, The Seattle Daily Times of the era was bougie as hell--only one of the big three dailies in Seattle during the period could safely be called "working class"--but it went a little bit further than that. It had been owned since 1897 by Colonel Alden Blethen, who over the course of his tenure built it into the city’s circulation leader through a combination of aggressive promotion and rather lively news coverage.  But about that news coverage... Col. Blethen had a personal vendetta against the “reds”--left-wing socialists, anarchists, and (what a coincidence, considering the way the current conversation's blowing) the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW)--and he had a history of fabricating stories against the “reds” when the truth wasn’t good enough. A flag desecration incident disrupting their May Day parade in 1912 is largely believed to have been stage managed by Blethen himself.  Unlike other points in our history, it’s not like Blethen was swinging at phantoms when he was going after socialists. Capital S Socialism, as in an organized political party, was gaining ground in the northwest, to the point where the Socialist candidate for mayor in 1912, Hulet Wells, came within 3,500 votes of beating progressive Democrat George Cotterill. Cotterill wasn’t Blethen’s guy in that race by any means, but the paper chose to ignore Wells’s campaign completely. Part of it was your standard collision of visions of America, but Wells and Blethen also had a very personal, very nasty feud going, possibly stemming from successful Socialist opposition to one of Blethen’s land development projects. Things got so bad that at one point Wells took Blethen to court, but Judge John Humphries, a good friend of Blethen and a nasty piece of work in his own right, was on the bench for the trial. Humphries was so wildly biased against him that, as our story opens, Wells was preparing a satirical play based on the trial transcripts.  It’s worth noting that Blethen wasn’t exactly alone in playing fast and loose with the truth. Historian Earl S. Pomeroy said “Sometimes it seemed that most Far Western editors invented libel suits.” The media landscape of the entire region was marked by fervor and vehement partisanship (not that any of us would be familiar with that (snort)). The shortest possible version is that people like Blethen came with the territory and the times. But it’s also worth digging into those details, because Blethen plays an (arguably the) instigating role in the Potlatch Riot of July 19, 1913. And of course, Blethen’s Times was also the home to Dok Hager and a certain poo poo-disturbing duck, who was conveniently out of town when all of what was about to happen went down.  TO BE CONTINUED... (Top to bottom: The Weather, July 6-7, 9-12, 1913. I'm pretty sure the guy with a cigar is a self-portrait of Dok Hager.) Thanks in advance for humoring me. All my other regular comics will follow later. EasyEW fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Mar 29, 2021 |

From what I've heard about these types of jobs, I was half expecting a 'well sorry, you can't take random breaks unless you're actually smoking, company policy, deal with it'. (of course the ideal solution would be more breaks for everyone instead of either having non-smokers get fewer breaks or everyone losing out) 2017 Spiderman  1979 comics  Gotta admit, Encyclopedia Brown is massively excessing all of my expectations so far.
