EasyEW posted:Little Lefty (July 9-12, 1936) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Kinderland I was surprised by the Yiddish so I looked it up; Camp Kinderland was an Ashkenazi-Communist summer camp. The government shut it down in the 50s because Communism is Scary but it looks like it's still going in some form.

TampaTango posted:Grim, no he gets it. This is what I love about the classic Val. It wasn’t until the 20th century that a woman could easily own property, there were exceptions but widowhood meant you were at the mercy of whatever male relative inheriting the martial property. Fighting Trousers posted:That and it's all well and good for the attractive young lovers to get their happy ending, but what about all the men who died before that point, and by extension all the women and children left behind? I agree it's realistic, and I like that he mentions it. All I meant was that it's dark and sad.  Vintage Valiant (Jan. 28, 1951)

During World War II, the Italian Front got a bit overshadowed after D-Day, with the public interest waning over the slow advance up the Italian peninsula when the invasion and liberation of France were seen as more important and successful. The phrase "D-Day Dodgers" popped up during this time, referring to those serving in Italy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Day_Dodgers "the soldiers in Italy felt that their sacrifices were being ignored after the invasion of Normandy, and a "D-Day Dodger" was a reference to someone who was supposedly avoiding real combat by serving in Italy, whereas the reality was anything but."

Solver Spring Special John Allison's Patreon John Allison's Gumroad store Forward Slash Scare website for Allison's side comics John Allison posted:Have you ever experienced hypnagogia? I have, but frankly not often enough. By day I can’t really picture anything in my mind’s eye (imagine how helpful this is for a WORKING ARTIST friends) so it’s a great pleasure when my mind, betwixt waking and sleep, serves up a glorious fantasia. Those "crystal kingdom" panels reminded me of the side-story The Big Hiatus, when the mystery kids had to rescue people from a other-dimensional fairyland.

I keep thinking there is going to be a plot twist were it turns out that it was Moonfixer who stole the stuff he pawned to Goldie (or something like that).

In today's Blueberry: Blueberry imposes, or Blueberry pulls a trick he learned from McClure back in Mexico, or Y'know, I recently decided to change things a bit by shaving my friendly muttonchops off... and I decided to see how I would look with just the moustache. And, while it was terrible, I can take pride in knowing it looked better than the monstrosity Blueberry has now

Murdstone posted:Mark Trail Utterly baffling. If this is intentional it's really a shame. At least when the strip looks like it is horribly rushed you can feel a bit of pity for a webcomic artist making the jump to hard daily deadlines. So is she lurking the thread and trying to take the piss or is this like a Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde thing where the strip is good one day and then terrible the next? See, there'd be tension if the author wasn't literally elbowing you in the ribs, asking you if you can see what's going on in the visual medium and butchering everything for a third rate joke made by a 4th wall breaking observer. Like gently caress, lmao but not because of anything the comic intentionally did. Yesterday was a genuinely good strip and here.. the triple down, god drat.

EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean Holbrook's been getting a lot of hate lately so I'll instead heap it on this guy. I hate this, I hate these strips, I hate Tom Batuik. I can only say that he's the most arrogant motherfucker on the comics page because Brooke McEldowney got dropped. Murdstone posted:The Phantom As frustrating as it is that we're back to Mozz's neverending story, it is pretty funny how he just casually drops that he was treated by a vet and when his wife is confused he's just like "Yeah she's good!"

Holbrook's baseline level of "I don't like this" is relatively low for me with spikes and crests and waves but the baseline of "I don't like this" for Tombat's work for me is at Holbrook's spike levels ambiently, if that makes any sense.

It's well late now, but I just found out that the first story in Blueberry, the one with Bascom unjustly accusing Apache people of kidnapping a farmer's child was based off of an actual incident.

At least when the strip looks like it is horribly rushed you can feel a bit of pity for a webcomic artist making the jump to hard daily deadlines. I sorta wonder whether an editor was finding her artwork occasionally inscrutable and suggested the captions as a way to clarify just what in the hell is going on.

It's fine to have a little thing going with a student so long as you don't hurt their tender feels? gently caress outta here with that poo poo, Mary Worth. eta: It's actually not okay, ever, because it's a huge ethical breach and misuse of power. This storyline is making me have EXTREMELY STRONG OPINIONS.
