That redrawn first Crabgrass strip is pretty neat. It's always fun to see how an artist's style evolves as a comic goes on. It's not always for the better - I prefer the older Peanuts strips visually, for example - but Tauhid's updated style is clearly superior. Vintage Valiant (May 08, 1949)    This is unfair to Oom, whose only crime is being a clumsy oaf.

Steeple: Clotted Crime Part 4 - Jason John Allison's Patreon John Allison's Gumroad store Steeple website John Allison posted:Maybe Rupert isn’t 100% vacant of substance. Years of playing rugged heroes on TV have given him a strong sense of cartoon right and wrong. Too be fair, the idea that the Church of Satan might be a cult and it might be a good idea to leave isn't necessarily wrong.

They were names I recall having heard in passing. If you'd asked me yesterday who Maynard G Krebs was, there's a 75% chance I would have said "Old TV character" and a 25% chance I would have guessed, "an under secretary of state from the 60s who did war crimes."

Jucika "514 - Jucika, As A Stylish Stewardess" NSFW Nudity "515 - Jucika And The Melon Market"  Yes, that is a very off-model Jucika. This strip was likely unfinished by Pusztai and was inked and colored by other Lúdas Matyi magazine staff. "The editorial staff of this magazine informs with pain in our hearts that Pál Pusztai, cartoonist, died of heart failure on September 10th in Dubronik, Yugoslavia, at the age of 51." Pusztai's strips had been showing up less frequently, going weeks or even months between new Jucikas and I'm sure we all noticed the total absence of the Jucika and Husband dynamic in the last 30 or so. It ran from 1957 to 1970 with 514 officially published strips. I'd like to think Pusztai wouldn't let himself recycle jokes too blatantly and that as a man of integrity he recognized that he had made something good and it should end, though sadly he left this world before settling on when and how that should happen. I'll post some extra Jucika stuff for a bit before I start from the beginning again for this year. Thanks for enjoying Jucika, goons.  "Interesting girl, this Jucika. People usually get in touch, when they are expecting more calm. When expecting much good from those whom they are contacting. Not so Jucika. She waited nicely until December, 1956. There was a strike then, no trams were in service, people had chaos in the heads. Till then, nobody knew her. But then she combed her shiny black hair, picked a nice dress, and got going. People turned their heads after her: "Is there such a thing?", "One can live so?", "Is there still somebody who can laugh this way?" "Aren't you ashemed? In these times?" - said a woman grumpily. But Jucika didn't care. She knew. That woman loved just her money, but not herself. Jucika loves life itself. "What fine taste she has" said a small girl in a worn coat a bit later; and so that she could wear clothes like that later, she went back to the factory to work, from where she was dismissed by the hooligans. - This is a fine girl - said a boy too, looked at her longingly and "called" after her. But he had just bad from it, because Jucika told him her mind thoroughly. Her handbag, as it is for all women, is full of all knickknacks, but her head is not empty either. Her "cases" always end on a high note, often with a slap on the face landing on a flightly man. She is not religious, but she sacrifices a lot on the altar. On the altar of fashion Pposh but not lewd. An upstanding girl with a waist so small, it's barely noticable (pun in Hungarian: "upstanding" = "derék", but "waist" is "derék" too). Her eyes laugh, sometimes sparkling with anger and nobody has such pretty eyes, still is often called cheeky (another pun: "eye" = "szem", "cheeky" = "szemtelen" (literally: without eyes)). Jucika is always nice, always just and never such as the bread in the groceries: she is always current (as in: of today, not yesterday's bread). Her dad may be proud of her: Pál Pusztai. György Máté"

RE: Encyclopedia Brown, I recall a mystery solved by the fact that a comb had hair on it (from the balding man combing it out). Although we have no idea what hair colors our suspects have. Was there really a backlash against against disco, besides the usual "this was popular, now it's lame"? The demolition night is always brought up, but that seems like it has more to do with cheap beer than any hate. And it seems to be an isolated incident. My impression of disco is that it's one of those things that just wound up horribly dated, like its cousin the leisure suit. Loved Jucika, just one question: in the "Budapest" panel, does she have a beaker or a liquor bottle on her head?

Doomykins posted:"Hungary is extremely proud of their Academy of Sciences. I think they might also be taking the piss out of The Sorbonne and Istanbul University specifically" I'm pretty sure it supposed to be about that Hungarian dance with the bottle of wine balanced on the dancers' heads (which I learned about from Jucika in the first place). It really was a wonderful comic. That rare thing of both horny and wholesome - something that I would ordinarily say was not possible.

And now I'm in that weird spot of being sad to hear that someone has died, even though it happened many years before I was even born. (Is there a word for that?) Thank you for posting Jucika, it's a delight.
