Our Boarding House (October 17-19, 1921)   Toonerville Folks (January 13-15, 1919)    Dok's Dippy Misidentification (January 25, 1914)  In spite of my shabby guesswork earlier, I'm convinced this candidate's Hiram Gill, mainly because (apart from a much stronger resemblance) Dok Hager's making hay about this duck's "reform", and is drawing him as a literal lame duck. When The Town Crier laid out the odds on the ten, they were fairly blunt about Gill's chances going in. "Gill will doubtless get a lot of votes; it is barely possible that he may be one of the primary nominees. But what's the use? He cannot be elected. Despite his right-about-face on all sorts of questions and his professions of better purposes and ideals, he is not as strong as he was two years ago or at the time of his recall from the office of mayor." They considered his candidacy a dirty trick drummed up by the Seattle Star to flush him out in the open so they'd have some bones to pick over. Little Lefty (May 18-20 1936)    Blondie (From Zero) (November 23-25, 1931)

Powered Descent posted:Jenny's being straight-up negligent here and it's 100% her fault if they all die. This was not simple human error (like a bad weight estimate) which would at least be understandable; she outright stated that this would overload the plane to the point that they might not even be able to take off. But then she went ahead anyway, with a "welp, not my fault". No, Jenny, it IS your fault. Assuming this fuckup doesn't kill you, it's severe enough that you should lose your drat pilot's license over it. Remember that Russell Keaton was a pilot himself, and eventually quit cartooning to become a flying instructor, so he should have known all this.

This Arlo & Janis Origins storyline has been wonderful! Same goes for Val, Monya, cyberpunk pub comic that isn't Uramachi Sakaba and Night Visitors. Just great stuff all around!

EasyEW posted:Funky OH OF COURSE IT COMES BACK TO HER Did they have stranger danger education in 1982? I feel like we’re getting real close to him terrifying his former friends because he’s a strange old man trying to enter a high school. This whole story reminds me of a weird memory I have from elementary school of an old man trying to force his way into our class to tell something to a friend of mine, but our teacher blocked the door and told him to leave, and eventually he did. At lunch we deduced that it was my friend’s future self come back to warn him, and we all agreed that is was important for him to remember that it didn’t work so that he can try a different strategy when he gets to that point on his own timeline. In retrospect, the whole thing seems very weird and disturbing, but it was probably some embarrassing family situation that my friend didn’t want to think about and would rather use fantasy to escape from like all us losers did.

No no guys, we should support Crazy Harry! I mean, what if he tells Lisa to get a cancer screening, or tells her to get with Les like right now? The former might mean she doesn't die of cancer, and the latter might mean Les is forced to do something with his life. Or if the timeline is set, all he has done is ensured Lisa gets cancer the day she meets Les.

I AM GRANDO posted:Did they have stranger danger education in 1982? I feel like we’re getting real close to him terrifying his former friends because he’s a strange old man trying to enter a high school. Yeah, but it was more or less "Don't get in a car with or take candy from people you don't know." Issues about security on school grounds didn't escalate dramatically until after Columbine.

The former might mean she doesn't die of cancer, and the latter might mean Les is forced to do something with his life. Seconds later after Crazy Harry leaves present Les arrives with a gift of those cadmium-rich Garfield coffee mugs to ensure Lisa gets cancer because what the gently caress else is he going to do with his life if he can't profit off her death I mean he already found a nice spot for his best actress Oscar next to his other random childhood poo poo shelf, he can't get that effort back

Or, in something that will be more contemporary to lisa's problems, warn her about her abusive boyfriend who will knock her up and leave her (which then leads to the incest storyline)

In the original I don't think the dude showed up much, but the writer had to make Lisa more of a saint. I imagine the publisher balked at the idea of a virgin birth.
