My interpretation was that her father was wearing his wife's dress and pretending to be her, for some reason. Possibly as a joke? :shrug:

Mämmilä (February 5, 1994)



Winnie the Pooh and Alice need no introduction, but Monni, Pilli and Pulla are the main antagonist and his cronies from a Swedish children's book series Pelle Svanslös ("Peter-No-Tail" in English) about a cat and the neighborhood he lives in. Monni, Pilli ja Pulla are represented by Prime Minister Esko Aho (with the buck teeth), Minister of Finance Iiro Viinanen (with glasses) and Minister of Labor Ilkka Kanerva.

Winnie the Pooh is diplomat and future Nobel Peace Prize winner Martti Ahtisaari and Alice is Elisabeth Rehn, a member of the Aho government as the first woman Minister of Defense. As a relative outsider, Ahtisaari would ultimately be elected in the 1994 presidential election, since pretty much every established politician had been tarnished by the "casino economics" of the 1980's and the subsequent economic depression.

Mäntyniemi is one of the official residences of the President.

This squares with what I was told about early Blondie, namely that both Blondie and Dagwood's families were wealthy, but disowned their children because they disapproved of their choice of spouse (and because comic readers didn't want to read about rich people anymore). I'm guessing Blondie's family is New Money as opposed to Dagwood's Old Money family, which might also be a factor.

Both of these are great class consciousness strips, for slightly different reasons.

Vintage Blondie is putting modern Blondie into a better context: Dagwood walked away from a life of privilege to marry the woman he loves. Because of the class consciousness he learned from that, he's a working class hero that slacks off at his lovely white-collar job. AGC, so to speak.

Unrelated to this, but something he posted in a facebook group I am in that I thought people in here might like to see. Yesterday's Blondie had a joke about her old roommate flirting with Dagwood, and it turns out he almost married her.

I’m placing “Banana Oil!” on hiatus, because I want to start posting “Up Front” by Bill Mauldin. Mauldin has definitely been mentioned one of the incarnations of this thread, but I don’t think a lot of his work has been posted.

wiki posted:

William Henry Mauldin was an American editorial cartoonist who won two Pulitzer Prizes for his work. He was most famous for his World War II cartoons depicting American soldiers, as represented by the archetypal characters Willie and Joe, two weary and bedraggled infantry troopers who stoically endure the difficulties and dangers of duty in the field.
His work first ran in Stars and Stripes in the early 1940’s, but was syndicated to newspapers in the States starting in 1944.

wiki posted:

The War Office supported their syndication, not only because they helped publicize the ground forces but also to show the grim side of war, which helped show that victory would not be easy.
I cannot imagine that happening today. Mauldin didn’t draw and write from an office - he preferred to be on the front with the soldiers he was depicting.

He won his first Pulitzer Prize in 1945, at the age of 23, for his wartime work. However, Mauldin is most well-known for this cartoon, published after the Kennedy assassination:


Some did not appreciate his work.

wiki posted:

His images—which often parodied the Army's spit-shine and obedience-to-orders-without-question policy—offended some officers. After a Mauldin cartoon ridiculed Third Army commander General George Patton's decree that all soldiers be clean-shaven at all times—even in combat—Patton called Mauldin an "unpatriotic anarchist" and threatened to "throw [his] rear end in jail" and ban Stars and Stripes from his command. General Dwight Eisenhower, Patton's superior, told Patton to leave Mauldin alone; he felt the cartoons gave the soldiers an outlet for their frustrations. "Stars and Stripes is the soldiers' paper," he told him, "and we won't interfere.”
