From that, he's just wilfully misinterpreting them to distort their views. It's not even an argument, it's just someone dicking about.

Vintage Valiant (Jan. 20, 1946)   Genseric was king of the Vandals for the middle part of the fifth century. When he became king his people lived mostly in what is now Spain, but he abandoned the peninsula in favor of conquering a big chunk of the African coast, the Balearic Islands, Sardinia, and Corsica. The Vandals also intermittently controlled Sicily, and were the first breakaway kingdom to be accepted officially as an independent kingdom by the waning western Roman authorities. You may remember when the Roman emperor Valentinian III appeared earlier in Prince Valiant. He was actually in the middle of trying to marry his daughter into Genseric's family when he was assassinated. I mentioned at that time that his usurper, Petronius Maximus, was only emperor for a few months, and this is why - Genseric considered the assassination to have voided his treaty with the Romans, and attacked the city in response to a request from Valentinian's widow. Over the next few strips we will see the results play out: the Pope will fail in his attempts to negotiate, Maximus will be stoned to death, and the Vandals will strip the city of its wealth so thoroughly that we get a word from it. Oh, and Valiant and Aleta will get married.  This dates Val's wedding to early-to-mid June, 455.

Also that's an awfully strange roundabout there off to the side of the road. I sometimes get the feeling that Jules uses words and phrases without quite knowing what they mean.

I think the implication between yesterday's strip and today's is that Cherry just wanted the butterfly bushes wrecked a bit but the hogs destroyed everything else too. No that doesn't make any sense, but it's the only thing I can think of that comes close to making sense.

Probably on account of how painting took multiple layers and coats of materials to protect the wood and the paint itself and thanks to advances in chemistry you now can just put down a cover coat that has everything blended in.

Haifisch posted:I think the implication between yesterday's strip and today's is that Cherry just wanted the butterfly bushes wrecked a bit but the hogs destroyed everything else too. I assumed that the hogs didn't stop at the butterfly bushes and moved on to a whole other roundabout, under the assumption that Sunny Soleil's work meant that roundabout wasn't technically Cherry's anymore. Or... maybe...not? I have the type of storytelling brain that tries to plug all the holes. Sally Forth   Pearls Before Swine   Skippy (November 20, 1933)  Peanuts (July 5-6, 1974)   Funky Winkerbean   So yeah, joy tempered by dread of unseen forces in the background, presumably followed by a reveal that lands like a wet fart. Old-White-Guy's-Petty-Grievanceshaft   Mutt and Jeff   Rip Haywire   Meanwhile, it's Thimble Theater, and here's where events in the real world take a turn at the drawing board. At the end of 1937, Segar was hospitalized with ailments that would ensure he didn't see the end of 1938. So if the Jeep looks seriously off-model in that first strip, that's because at some point in this story the art was taken over by Doc Winner, a member of the King Features bullpen since 1918. Doc would be one of the post-Segar Popeye artists. And here's where I start worrying about the future (of posting Thimble Theater), mainly because there's a longstanding tradition with the Popeye publishers that the reprints end when Segar's signature stops showing up on the strips...which places an abrupt cutoff point right in the middle of a fairly interesting story. It's still quite a way's off until we see if CK follows the tradition, but dammit, these nails won't bite themselves. (February 1-2, 1938)   Out Our Way (December 10-12, 1936; spoilered for the usual reasons.)    And that's where I stop for the moment. EasyEW fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Jul 4, 2021 |

Johnny Aztec posted:Anyone got "A History of Paint" book open and ready? Why was Old Tyme painting such a chore? I'd guess the ease of "modern" painting is down to the increasing use of latex paint post WWII -- latex is much easier to work with than the older oil-based paints.
