And now... the final Modesty Blaise  I wish I could say I'd written up something fancy to commemorate our duo literally walking off into the sunset, but I didn't. I will say it's been a pleasure sharing these stories; special thanks to kammat for starting me on this journey. I have no plans to start over from the beginning at this time, but if you want to see a particular story again, I can probably dig it up. I was thinking about adding some more John Allison to the thread, but I think we've got four or five different stories from different posters running concurrently, so I'll lay low until one of those runs its course.

Transmodiar posted:And now... the final Modesty Blaise I'm really grateful for this thread getting me into the Modesty Blaise comics (as well as the John Allison comics, but that another story). This final story was in one of the collections I recently purchased, but I held off on reading it since I wanted to experience it with the rest of this thread. Of course while this is the final Modesty Blaise comic, it's not the final Modesty Blaise story. That would be the short story Cobra Trap found in the book of the same name. I've heard that some fans refuse to read it, although the story, and the book itself, does wrap up Modesty and her world in satisfactory way.

I've heard it more commonly as recessed lighting but if you told me your new kitchen had can lighting I'd have known what you meant.

Considering it's basically "That's all you get, bye!" I'm surprisingly satisfied with it. you broke my grill posted:ok I had to google this Huxley posted:I've heard it more commonly as recessed lighting but if you told me your new kitchen had can lighting I'd have known what you meant.

Bernice must have done art at some point during school. She must have had some sort of exposure to what fine art is and why people do it. Her best/only friend studies it. That is how the emotionally dead idiot-boy knows who she is. Is she meant to be properly unhinged? Is that why nobody has told her how bad she is at basic psychology despite apparently being mid-way through a degree? Maybe she killed Delta for questioning her grasp of the human condition and that's why she was never seen again.

Sally Forth Pearls Before Swine  Skippy (October 13, 1933)  Peanuts (May 22, 1974)  Funky Winkerbean  COVIDshaft  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (December 18, 1937)  Out Our Way (August 20-22, 1936)    Toonerville Folks (August 9-11, 1917)    Dok's "When The Captain Blows The Whistle, Answer The Call" Duck (August 10, 1913)  I sort of missed the specifics of what the shooting was all about, but considering that Venezuela was an emerging oil producer in the pre-WW1 era, I can take a wild guess. And now...a thing that I found. On October 8, 1934, future comic book artist Maurice del Bourgo, under the pen name "del", launched a strip which in many ways was intended as an opposition response to the mega-capitalism of Little Orphan Annie and some of the sociopolitical tendencies of Skippy. So far, so good, but there's a twist here: the strip we're talking about appeared in the Daily Worker, the New York-based central organ of the Communist Party of the United States of America. It's hard to get more lefty than that during the Depression, but through the 1930s the Worker was developing a general news editorial style, with a sports page, movie reviews, radio listings, and, yes, even comic strips. So rather than present itself as part of an "alternative press" scene, the Depression-era Daily Worker was trying to position itself as a general newspaper...just one with an unusually hard editorial slant. For instance, their idea of a 1930s Sunday comic was an adaptation of Sinclair Lewis's It Can't Happen Here. Which brings us back to del Bourgo's strip, which wore the ridiculously on-the-nose title Little Lefty. At least in the early going, there's an earnestness to the politics of the whole operation which gives off the aura of what it'd be like if the continuity era of Stephanie McMillan's Minimum Security got unstuck in time and woke up one morning in a between-the-wars flophouse. And dammit, sometimes I really miss MiniSec...for all the wrong reasons, but there, I said it. So I felt compelled to read a shitload of these last night, and in that spirit I open the floor for an evaluation. I don't know how far I'm gonna go with this, but that first strip lays down a gauntlet. And a few trademark violations. (October 8-10, 1934)

The Dinette Set should probably call a professional. Working Daze assumes I know who this is?  Super-Fun-Pak Comix is up front about it.  Cul De Sac liked that part where it was doing something it liked.

Funny Online Animal Backlog So there's a bunch of these that are on the Comics Kingdom website as back installments that line up with ones on Green's main website, and I don't have a CK account because gently caress that, so I'm just gonna go through Green's website for what I presume to actually be back installments. Also I don't think most of these back installments will ever actually be on CK on account of language.
