Zerilan posted:So TomBat's really going forward with a self-insert arc here? He's finally crawled so far up his own rear end that he's slithered back out of his mouth. Tom's inferiority complex to other cleveland area comic artists (Watterson and Pekar) is always hilarious. This one is especially egregious showing how much he wishes he was ever as popular as Bill Watterson, since this is literally the story of Watterson going to one of the local bookstores and secretly signing books. Except being a retired comic artist is lame haha right guys please love me.

I just want to point something out here, the move from comics being at the corner drug store to being sold at direct market comics shops happened around four decades ago. It happened around the time I was born. Also, anyone know who owns the copyright on Deathless Deer? Did it slip into the public domain? (1961 woulda been the date they had to reregister, under the old laws.)

Medenmath posted:This abruptly concludes The Medieval Castle. It's a strange little strip - I get the impression that Foster felt he couldn't commit to a detailed storyline since he didn't know how long it would last. I think the strip would have been stronger if it focused more clearly on the kids and maybe more of the "slice of life" stuff about what it would have been like to live in this era, although to do that accurately would perhaps have required more research than Foster was willing to do. As it is, the strip felt a little scattered to me. Arn and Guy's father never even got a name! The ending was (very) abrupt but I quite liked it. On top of fantastic art, it really highlighted Foster's economy of storytelling. Medenmath posted:As I recall the rules at my own elementary school were to send a kid home if they weren't dressed "appropriately," but that never happened so I don't know what really would have been done in a situation like this. I also attended a Catholic school with a uniform which probably changes things! My school was incredibly strict about that. I remember my dad being called from work because I wore blue jeans without a belt. He was so pissed they wasted his time that he tried to pull me out of the district.

Well, it was distributed by Joe Patterson's Chicago Tribune syndicate, so if anyone owns the rights to Deer, it's probably the modern Tribune Content Agency. (By the way, if you do a Google image search for Deathless Deer, six of the top ten results are from this thread.)

The story about the teacher who was fired for feeding kids who couldn't pay was loosely based on a true story. Sylvia Ettinger, the young teacher who was fired for feeding hungry kids without the proper paperwork, sent a letter to the Daily Worker after Lefty told a version of her story.  America's first school lunch program was launched in 1853 by the Children's Aid Society of New York, and local, charity-supported, volunteer-run programs were the model that spread across the country. They were arguably good as far as they went, but the Great Depression made that model impossible to sustain (and if you read the background material, you can see how standards of what was for lunch could vary widely). The FDR administration, through various New Deal agencies, worked with the states to alleviate the burden, but it wasn't until the National School Lunch Act in 1946 that federal funding for school lunches was fully formalized. Anyway, if you've got a quarter-hour to burn, here's a radio talk from 1931 which goes into the do-it-yourself approach to setting up a school lunch program, the model that was broken by the pressure of the Depression. As someone who spent most of his childhood on the free lunch program, I deeply appreciate those who fought the good fight for school lunches before I was born.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M84y3bDqCs Blondie From Zero (October 16-18, 1930)

The Dinette Set is ungrateful. Working Daze might want to invest in a spell checker.  Super-Fun-Pak Comix is the oldest one in the book.  Cul De Sac knows the essence of comedy is other people's suffering.

Fiona's dad is a lot of things, but he's right to be bitter and angry over everyone being racist toward him. And I don't know why Kevin is trying to dunk on George in the other comic. George stopped mooching off his own daughter and wants to feel self-satisfaction over making money on his own terms. That's not testosterone poisoning, that's someone wanting to improve himself. Mikl posted:Modern Kevin & Kell Come to think of it, didn't this story started with the leopard saying he got stuck in The Wild for months and was unable to hunt any food? This storyline is basically Holbrook bullying a starving, homeless man. Granted, the guy was planning to murder and eat some kids, but still.
