Bil was a cool guy as well. I think he gave consent to the existential family circus or whatever it was back in the 00s as well, a kind of pre-Garfield Without Garfield blessed by the creator.

Our Boarding House (October 24-26, 1921)   Toonerville Folks (January 20-22, 1919)    Dok's Dippy Primary Race (January 27, 1914)  Albert J. Goddard served on the Seattle City Council from 1892-94 and 1908-15, with a break to go to the Washington House of Representatives from 1895-97 and then (are you sensing a theme here?) to go to the Yukon to make money ferrying miners from Skagway to Dawson City. The Seattle Star editorial page had some interesting opinions about his candidacy, which I'll just dump on you right now...  Little Lefty (May 25-27, 1936)    Blondie (From Zero), in which Our Heroine has to deal with the cruelest indignity yet: the old chestnut about a plain girl taking off her glasses and shaking out her hair. (November 30-December 2, 1931)

Crab Dad posted:I loving hate Big Nate. Got an 11 year old boy who just loves him and it hurts me it’s such trash. It's like an attempt to be in that mold of C&H but without anything that makes a Calvin-style character endearing. On note of C&H though, really bothers me looking at it now how fully unwilling his parents ever are to play along with his imagination or try to directly engage him at his level, with very few exceptions.

Fingerpori I'm not sure if this plays exactly the same in English. The Finnish third option for polls is literally the same as "does not know how to say".

Dang, ten years already, that's wild. I always liked the one where the cop stops him for speeding or something and he shows the cop that he doesn't even have an engine (because his car runs on magic). The strip ends with the cop blowing into his own breathalizer. Vintage Valiant (Nov. 05, 1950)

Out of curiosity, I looked this up. That is the cover of the first appearance of Spider-Man, but it came out in 1962. So I guess a comic book featuring an extremely popular character has just been sitting in the rack in a candy store for 20 freakin' years, as new issues of Blue Beetle and Uncle Scrooge and Archie all came and went every month.

This is the eighties; amazing fantasy 15 is already going to run six figures at least, anything on the rack would be a worthless reprint. Not sure what you'd want to pick up for value then. Early wolverine appearances in Hulk and X-men?

I'd suspect it's a reprint, personally. Maybe he remembered seeing it in the rack and thought it was an original at the time, and if he's really time traveling, will realize that soon, being a comic shop owner and all.
