I've given this a swing before, but I figured I'd give it another chance in the thread. Lunch Lunch is basically norwegian Dilbert. Which might be damning with faint praise, but I've found it to be somewhat amusing on occasion. Primarily a gag-a-day comic (Mon-Fri, plus a bigger weekend edition.) designed to be printed out and plastered across the common areas of your average office, it's currently dabbling with a short story arc. (Because he's probably gotten all the material out of 'old useless boss' and wants to have a go at 'young buzzword boss' as a foil for a bit.) Unfortunately there's no sort of long-term archive of norwegian comics, so I only have access to the newest ~2 or so weeks of it at any time. Though if there's suddenly a giant roaring wave of interest, I could pick up some of the collections and scan them in. Strips have a bad habit of getting run in different newspapers and the like, online/offline, and those that do host strips online generally just host the most recent 2-3 weeks. There's nothing like comics kingdom/etc here. I'll be translating 'em so if I gently caress something up or something sounds off: please call me out on it, translating the casual norwegian tone mixed with business-speak to english is a bit challenging. Lunch Weekend  Lunch In which we drop right into an arc like, 5 min after it started: Whoops! All you need to know is that Bache, the old fellow, used to be the CEO and is now getting de-ceo-ed. And he is of course a prime example of 'old, bumbling, out of touch, boss'.     I'll try doing a couple extra strips to catch up to the current daily, and once I hit the sync-point I'll see if there's any interest in the thread for it to keep running or no. The seventh father of the house is of course a reference to the norwegian fairy tale of the same name: https://norwegianfolktales.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-seventh-father-of-house.html Basically being in a position of power, with no real responsibilities of work to speak of, as you can imagine from context.

Some Guy TT posted:I feel compelled to note, largely because I'm probably one of the only people who knows this even in the context of this subforum, that Ta-Nehisi Coates' Captain America just did an entire stupid thing where they brought Peggy Carter back into continuity as an old woman. Then they did magic bullshit to turn her back into a young woman, because old Peggy Carter was too potentially interesting. People were annoyed by this. You're conflating a couple of plot lines in Coates' Cap run. Yes, Peggy is back, but she wasn't introduced as an old lady. She appeared as a mystery figure called "The Dryad" and the book's never really gone into great detail about she wound up in the modern day beyond Peggy saying this was where she was needed so she's here now. Sharon Carter was aged into an old woman years ago in that whole Dimension Z business, and that's what Coates undid through "magic bullshit."

There are times at which I feel the comics I post are so out-dated that I should be spoilering them. And then I see Pondus, and I realise that actually, they're ok. On that note, in today's Blueberry: Crossing the

Sally Forth Pearls Before Swine, and yeah, yesterday kind of lit a fire, but whatever it was, I'm not sure we've reached the point of no return yet. Hang in there. Continue to take notes.  Skippy (October 23, 1933)  Peanuts (June 3, 1974)  Funky Winkerbean  COVIDshaft  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater, in which aren't you forgetting something, Popeye? (December 30, 1937)  Out Our Way, featuring the original self-driving transportation. (September 17-19, 1936; spoiler tag for the usual reasons.)    Toonerville Folks (August 30-September 1, 1917)    Dok's "Pay Your Own Way Home" Duck (August 16, 1913)  It's Little Lefty time again, and I completely forgot to answer this question going into the weekend. Green Intern posted:That's cool and all that they're standing up for their minority neighbors, but it would be pretty swell if any of them were at the rally (and yes, I am aware that it's Yeah, it's impossible to dismiss completely that particular variety of background noise, but there's also an interesting strain of background chatter going on in the Daily Worker's Questions & Answers column about interracial marriage, and whether that's a hill the American party wanted to die on. The anonymous columnist who fielded representative questions on the topic wasn't equivocating, as in the November 6, 1934 edition shows: "Without the sharpest fight against all boss-imposed restrictions between the toilers of various races and nationalities there can be no true internationalism. Any fight for Negro equality that does not include full equality in all social relationships could be nothing but a hollow mockery." That the CUSA felt it was necessary to have this conversation in the house organ suggests a level of pushback from the subscriber base, and possibly even some of the CUSA members, party line or no. For instance, the above quote is answering a suspiciously obtuse outside observer who seems convinced that the CUSA is requiring racially mixed marriages. I suppose you're always going to get a few of those in every crowd.  (November 5-7, 1934)

Oh no, it also has to be turned into a strip club, that'll really show how far society's fallen. Wait it only played classic films?

Slammy posted:Those Were the Days (July 23, 1953) I'm guessing the actual idea is that the 3d viewer thingy would somehow strain your eyes, but I prefer to interpret this as saying that you've got a limited number of things you can look at in your life and once you use them all up, that's it. "I'm afraid I couldn't; I've already looked at twelve things today!"
