The Dinette Set is getting into shape. Or a shape, anyway. Working Daze had to mention the date.  Super-Fun-Pak Comix flew too close to the sun.  Cul De Sac is very relatable.

skeleton warrior posted:I mean, you’re asking “why would the state-owned paper under a Communist dictatorship - a dictatorship which saw neighboring countries invaded when they weren’t hard-core Communist enough - have a comic strip which showed life as easy and breezy and living up to Western free market standards instead of the actual drab, censored, in-short-supply, and generally disgruntled living that was actually going on?” Is this supposed to be sarcasm? A full third of the jokes in Dark Laughter are just about Bootsie finding ways to sponge off of working black women with a lot of disposable income. Jokes that so much as even acknowledge racism are rare enough that a person with no other knowledge of the African-American social system from this time period would probably look at those, just think cow tools, and not give it a second thought.

Curtis is at the same time the most qualified strip to talk about the Civil War, because... obviously, and the least, because you know it's not gonna go beyond some milquetoast "it was a very important period in our history" statement. It's probably not even gonna be an arc.

Actually that's an interesting question: does a comic strip (or generally work of art) centered around an urban black kid (or: Asian, Jewish, Native American kid...) need to tackle the political and social issues you'd associate with that, or doesn't it also have the right to just be a bit of fun and avoid the heavy topics, the way strips that star white people get to do, without coming across as willfully ignorant? It'd feel weird to demand from Curtis that there be a storyarc where a cop mistakes Curtis' lollipop for an Uzi. On the other hand, the strip Tauhid Bondia did before Crabgrass did that and it's a better comic strip all around. But then on the other hand, Crabgrass is also a better comic strip than Curtis when they're both just about kids dealing with school and family.

I think in terms of middle school students race really isn't a factor when it comes to the Civil War being a huge abstraction they can't be bothered to care about. It's not like you actually need to know what was going on in the Civil War to understand race and racism on a day by day basis.

A Problem Like Jamal also isn't syndicated. I really think this is just a "kid not paying attention" gag and you could put literally any historic event in there, the Civil War was just chosen because Billingsley thought "The Civils" was a good joke. Every now and then Billingsley tries to do Social Issues and it's always pretty bad because he's not a very good writer. He's better when he goes full-cartoony, so there's a "pass" in my book. You wanna see "willfully ignorant", I could start posting Jumpstart, a comic strip about a black cop and a black nurse who are married. I checked in on them last summer and they were doing some real NotAllCops (in my fictional world) poo poo.

Classic Kevin & Kell (February 19-25, 2001)       First appearance: Fat Ralph. That's one way to change a character's design, I guess. Also, we get some first-hand evidence of the discrimination domesticated animals face in that society. Also also, considering what would happen barely six months after these strips ran, Saturday's is weirdly prescient.
