Were Alvin and the chipmunks ever hip? I assumed it was all forced via marketing and grandmothers trying to get an age appropriate present for their grandchildren and oh those darling squirrels are just so funny

Calaveron posted:Were Alvin and the chipmunks ever hip? I assumed it was all forced via marketing and grandmothers trying to get an age appropriate present for their grandchildren and oh those darling squirrels are just so funny Novelty records were a big market when Dave Seville got started, but Funky is picking an intentionally low bar for his spectrum, although Alvin's single with Canned Heat was an unexpected surprise in their discography. This week is just an excuse for sweaty wordplay, but I'd be mildly shocked if Saturday's payoff was the realization that aging out of the money demo means that you're not required to pay attention to media product targeted at teens and twenties.

Solver Spring Special Concludes! John Allison's Patreon John Allison's Gumroad store Forward Slash Scare website for Allison's side comics John Allison posted:The Spring Special has concluded. I hope you enjoyed it! A further instalment is planned, possibly featuring the return of red hot new character GLEMM. So that wraps up this part of the Solver storyline. According to the Bad Machinery website the Solver Autumn Special will start on June 13th. In the meantime Allison will be running another Steeple story on that website, which I'll post here. What are the thread's thoughts on this story? True not much happened and it's mostly set-up, but these short comics Allison has been putting out are only twenty-something pages, and thus only about a quarter of the length of a Bad Machinery case. I always find it fun seeing what Lottie is up to, and Allison has been writing with these characters for a long time and knows what makes them tick. That said the thing I dislike most is probably the title, Solver, it feels a little to on-the-nose compared to Allison's other works. Imagine if he had called Bad Machinery something like Mystery Kids.

EasyEW posted:Crankshaft Motherfucker, hip hop has been in the mainstream since at least 1990. That's 32 loving years ago. It's about 25 years too late for a "well gawrsh shucks I don't know about the hippities and hoppities these darn kids these days are listening to" storyline.

Weembles posted:Forget the horse - where's Into's little hat? That's my favorite part of the strip. Into Ilves   Into's hat is typical for Ostrobothnian folk costumes. His sweater somewhat resembles Jussipaita which is an iconic design from the same area. The comic has probably taken inspiration from film Pohjalaisia ("Ostrobothnians") which was released in 1925 (silent, pictured below) and 1936 (talkie).  Nancy  Dustin  Mandrake

Circumstances kept me away from Blondie and Toonerville tonight. Our Boarding House makes room for a mystery guest on the way. (January 23-25, 1922)    Dok's "Kick A Man When He's Almost Out The Door" Duck (February 24, 1914)  If you're wondering about the importance of this new stranger, remember that Dok Hager's strip was at the bottom of the front page, and there's a clue taking up the entire top half of the front page.  This is the headline of an editorial signed by Alden J. Blethen, owner and editor of the Seattle Times. It hammers home a few points:
 So yes, at this time next week, regardless of who wins, everything's gonna be awesome! Because consider the alternative... Little Lefty (August 27-30, 1936)     Banker and The Butler

Presto posted:More involved that she wants? I thought she was looking for "the one"? They aren't even that involved. Making out is the entirety of their relationship. There's a sex contract, but even that's just about all the ways they get to punish each other if they make out too much.
