I’ve seen that bucket head Snow White strip before, when I was around seven (1991). But I don’t remember where it was printed (I don't think it was the 1950s book).

You say "Disney strip" and all I can think of is Scamp, which ran for 30+ years. It was the adventures of Lady and the Tramp's kid (the one that looked like his dad).

There was one poster who really hated Gil so much it kind of became a gimmick. I'm not sure anyone else actually disliked it. Strange though it may sound now I remember it being a common sentiment that Retail is terrible despite Gil being great, to such an extent that Feuti actually directly addressed it on social media. I liked Gil too, as a point of fact, and wouldn't mind seeing it posted again.

I don't remember Gil. I like the Retail that's currently being posted but I remember liking it a lot less when it was later strips being posted where Marla is store manager and Cooper is a supervisor.

I'm guessing Disney himself didn't draw the snow white strip. probably just nameless illustrators under the mouse's whip?

yeah, it really started phoning it in for a bit until the final arc which really lent a catharsis to the entire strip

So I got something in the mail:


(I did get all 3 Footrot books but can't be assed to re-take the picture :v:)
I'm not committing to regularly posting any of these because :effort:, but I did have to answer one question: Has Dennis ever been anything remotely resembling a menace?

Answer: No. Even in the early strips he's mostly just rambunctious, sometimes a jerk but not really a menace. He does break stuff, actively harass Mr. Wilson(whose wife only show up once across both books), and generally get in trouble more than modern Dennis, but nothing outside the bounds of a normal...6? How old is he supposed to be?...year old kid in exaggerated comic land.

The collections are from 1961 and 62, about a decade after the comic started its run. In them I count:
1 broken vase
1 lamp broken in a store (that his mom had to pay for)
2 people walked into while they're in the bath
1 incident of Dennis running towards an elevator naked while at the doctor's office
10 active annoyances of Mr Wilson(beyond Dennis simply existing), including putting rocks in his ukelele, making fun of his shoes after Dennis' dog got ahold of one, inviting a whole herd of kids into his house without permission, taunting him while he's just trying to mow the lawn or water his garden, hiding his 'for sale' sign, and walking into his house while he's trying to take a bath.
1 attempt by Mr Wilson to sell his house to get away from Dennis (unsuccessful)
2 drums gifted to him as revenge against his parents
1 fine elephant:


And also this strip, which has aged Interestingly:

You tell 'em, Dennis.

I've BEEN saying that the last Estelle storyline should've ended with her, Iris, and Zach in a supportive relationship while Wilbur just disappears into a sewer.

Like remember when he drunkenly paraded Estelle in front of his ex that he dumped for a hotter girl that was very obviously running a scam on him and all the doormat did was tell him to please not do that again? Why are we supposed to like Wilbur?

Great speech.
PPHPFT!!
So about TWTD - the comics of the last few days have been repeats - I mislabeled a year, and we've already seen all of 1954. However, starting in 1955 Beeman starts his own repeats, like:
Those Were the Days May 13, 1952


Those Were the Days January 27, 1955


And also comics that aren't quite copies, but are more than his typical theme repetitions. It makes it difficult to know if a comic is a true repeat or not.
Those Were the Days January 1, 1953


Those Were the Days December 29, 1955



Those Were the Days November 13, 1952


Those Were the Days September 8, 1955

(That last one is unforgivable - you can't write a better line than "DRAG OUT THE BODY!")

So I'll do my best to stick to new ones, but the effort I'm willing to put into Beeman is ... limited.

OK, back to comics.
