I've only just realised it could be anything else. I was merely suggesting that we haven't seen her make physics look the other way by glaring at it.

Bootsie - the Captain America we should have had. In today's long-delayed, but extended Blueberry: All we have to do is rely on Graig. Oh God, we're doomed, or Blueberry wins a bet, or Wasn't he supposed to save his strength for a court-martial?     And another piece of Gir's proper art-work, which is frankly astounding

Samovar posted:Bootsie - the Captain America we should have had. It's really nice to read Blueberry after only hearing references to it. It's actually pretty good, though I suspect it will soon fall into the same spot as Corto, where is stop reading it in the thread because I want to buy them for myself.

Kennel posted:Dustin Dustin's employers take over a month to get around to paying him for his labor, but sure, Dustin's the rear end in a top hat for not being super enthused about working for them.  Yes, Bernice, I agree. It IS weird for a grown-rear end adult who likes another adult to pussyfoot around with indirect little schemes and middle-school hijinx instead of just asking for a date in a straightforward manner.

Why do the people in the Banana Oil strip shout "Banana Oil!"? Is it a common phrase from the publication time, or is it just something like a personalized comic strip rimshot?

If you call what someone says banana oil, you mean that it is only said to gain an advantage and is not sincere. "All the things he said about her qualities of leadership were just banana oil".

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:I think it was a euphemism for "Bullshit" But it's tricky with those old comics. Sometimes they're just using slang that was common at the time and sometimes they invent a word that becomes slang due to being popular in the comic. Worry Wort is a good example of the latter. I think goon is as well.

When your point of comparison for comic strip teens is Archie, or Blondie and Dagwood's kids, or even, God save us, Michael Patterson, Jeremy's sighing and eye-rolling at his parents looks like a shocking act of rebellion.

Jeremy’s favorite band is Gingivitis and his father is an orthodontist, how can that be construed as anything less than a direct attack on his parents that is totally equivalent to tossing a toddler out in the snow??!!???
