That was my guess too ... back in the 70s women would use a hairbrush, not a comb.

Crabgrass is on Break but check out the remake Tauhid did of his first strip:

Remake:


quote:

Sales Kit Strips

So when you get syndicated there’s a thing called a sales kit that you have to put together. It’s basically six weeks of strips that every paper runs when they pick up your comic. When you pick these comics it’s a good idea do redo any that come from early in the run so the art matches with the current style. It’s also a chance to punch up the writing a little bit. Above is the very first Crabgrass strip redone for syndication. You can see the difference in art style here more than any other strip.

The art is an obvious improvement (so much more dynamic! you can see both their faces and how expressive they are this time!), but I really appreciate the punch-up on the dialogue. It really captures what a better handle he has on the characters and their personalities after all this time. :3:

I think I remember reading about it in one of legendary umpire Ron Luciano's books. The disco destruction was supposed to take place on the field between the games of a double header. A few minutes before the second game was supposed to start someone came into the umpires' dressing room and told them that the second came could not start on time because about 15,000 people were still destroying disco on the field. Furthermore, they were also destroying the field.

In today's extended Blueberry: How will Prosit get out of this predicament?! Spoiler: He does, or Living big and easy in the Big Easy, or How will Prosit get out of THIS predicament?! Spoiler: He doesn't






And so ends our latest adventure! And I shall be starting the next adventure at the usual time, but I want to add... I dunno, a warning? I know I said it when the new thread started, but I wish to re-iterate and to expand - the next adventure is set most of the time in Mexico... and it's visual representation of Mexican people is far from ideal, imho - going into flat-out racism at one point (albeit not with a person from Mexico). This means there will be a lot more Spanish, to boot - which I will have to use Google Translate for, so I'm guessing it won't be Mexican-Spanish accurate.

It's also... a lot meaner? Blueberry was never an old-fashioned white-hat Western, but this next adventure becomes Noir-esque, both in story and in tone. Maybe I am being overly-cautious - but this thread is generally for light enjoyment, so I'd much rather cover my bases.

So join me next time, won't you? In the adventure of Chihuahua Pearl, where we say: JEEZ LADY! BACK OFF! Haven't you ever heard of personal space?!
