Tiggum posted:"An innocent publicity stunt" is not how I would describe abandoning a baby and kidnapping a journalist. And likely several less serious crimes on top of those. How did they even get the parents to agree to a plan that starts with "hand your baby to a random stranger and then disappear for a few days"? I'm gonna have to agree with whoever said this was an attempt to clean up things after the writer wrote themselves into a corner.

Bibliotechno Music posted:Classic Zits I just remembered an old Curtis that used this punchline except with "rap" music (I know he dropped the quotes for Onion but if "rap" no longer gets quote marks then what the hell is this strip anymore) vs old R&B, and I thought it was really funny how he specified that the old stuff was about "unprotected" sex as if modern "rap" contextualizes any sexual content by mentioning prophylactic usage or the old stuff specifically mentioned barebacking or whatever.

Johnny Walker posted:And what about the guy locked in the aviary? And that woman they were also holding hostage? The woman on the boat seems have been an actress -- remember, the guy was critiquing her attempt at playing a bereaved mother ("no, that's terrible!") when he went out to check on her. Why was she out on a boat? Well, um, look over there! As for the guy in the aviary, that will be explained. Sort of.

Scary Gary    Btw have we discussed this blog before? http://strippersguide.blogspot.com/ Latest entry:     Stripper's Guide posted:I feel pretty sheepish that H.T. Elmo's features are so rarely featured on Stripper's Guide. I'm fascinated by Mr. Elmo's dogged pursuit to scratch out a living selling weekly features to small papers, year after year, decade after decade, probably never making more than a pittance, and probably being stiffed more often than being paid..

Yeah, I gotta agree with the other goons who commented on how much better the art and jokes are in early Overboard. I had remembered liking it back in the early ‘90s, and was surprised when I came back to it in this thread and found it in the very weird place it currently occupies.

Sally Forth Pearls Before Swine  Skippy (November 27, 1933)  Peanuts (July 15, 1974)  Funky WinkerCon  Crankshaft  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (February 10, 1938)  Out Our Way (December 28-30, 1936)    Toonerville Folks (November 1-3, 1917)    Wrapping up Little Lefty's Labor Agitation Vacation! (January 17-19, 1935)    Chris Wright came out with a fascinating two-pronged writeup of the Communist-backed Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill for Counterpunch. On the one hand, he talks about what it envisioned--not just unemployment insurance but underemployment insurance, maternity benefits, and social insurance for the sick and elderly--and the movement behind it that, by Wright's telling, threw enough of a scare into Congress that the "relatively conservative" Social Security Act sailed through by comparison. The other thread of his argument: the only way you can argue that Americans are centrists at heart, as people like to do, is to bury this type of history and pretend that the Townshend Plan was as far as it went before the SSA. Which is why you more than likely found out about it accidentally by reading about comic strips. Moving on, Ann Burlak (1911-2002), known to her fellow travellers as "The Red Flame", dropped out of school at 14 to work in the mills to help support her family. By 16 she was a union organizer and American Communist, and before she was 20 she was in jail under a pre-Civil War Georgia insurrection law which could carry the death sentence. And that was just her first act... Blondie From Zero (November 17-19, 1930)

Sweaty IT Nerd posted:On an unrelated note-- those chairs with the armrest table are neat. Was it here or in another thread where someone talked about how the old diners made it as uncomfortable as possible for people ordering. They didn't want people hanging around, so they had lines of chairs set up like that. It all blends together after a while.

One moment he (or the woman being shoehorned into marriage) looked miserable and then *poof*, Lu Ann's coming home! This was bugging me so I looked it up. We didn’t miss anything, they just drop the story for awhile. This ran end of December 1975 and the Frank and Jan story picks up in late-April 1976. Until then it’s a *sigh* Lu Ann story. Not even a fun Margo story.
