A perfect example of how to deal with a bully that neither treats them like a monster nor excuses their behavior. I love Blind Alley so much.

The world of Storm P
Short summary from wikipedia:
Robert Storm Petersen (19 September 1882 – 6 March 1949) was a Danish cartoonist, writer, animator, illustrator, painter and humorist. He is known almost exclusively by his pen name Storm P.
Non-english wikipedia also mentions the following: "He tried his luck in the USA, but he americans did not care for his drawings and did not understand his humor."

Last year I shared a few of his comics I found online, but this year I'm going to do this properly:


I'll be scanning, translating and sharing one page per day (or at least try to).

Every time someone demands Mary Worth stop being posted, it only makes Wilbur stronger. It's probably our fault he survived.

It's sort of like back when 9CL was posted, every time someone begged that it be banned, I'm pretty sure Edda grew another tooth

ChaCha is around food people too, I assumed they were just very far away from each other on the same planet.

It's explicitly different "worlds" - the only way to travel between them is those portal things. That said, Q-Rais has often said that Chako at least was written in a very stream-of-consciousness way, so I think the most likely explanation for the question of "how did Chako get a Mr. Inari to ChaCha" is just that Q-Rais hadn't really worked out the setting yet when he did the first ChaCha comic.

Wilbur should have amnesia and return to Santa Royale as Wilbur Suavé, playboy and philanthropist and Estelle tearfully wishes for the old Wilbur back.

Evergreen concerns about the health effects of fat and pork but also, uh, the previous days were pre-FDA so...those pork sausages, unless they were homemade, were likely full of unwanted amounts of feces, inedible filler, waste byproduct and human material. The raw milk is also hella dangerous.
