I just think it's funny that Warbucks was all "I have solved the energy crisis, the solution was to drill for more oil and trust that someone will come up with alternative energy sources before we run out." It's literally the opposite of a solution, the problem still exists and he's just delaying it and hoping someone else does the hard work of solving the problem.

Bruceski posted:I'm looking at that new assistant and hoping this isn't a "ethnics sabotaging capitalism" storyline. Or maybe I'm reading too much into "you're in charge of hiring but... I hope he went through the usual security clearance" and Warbucks would have been just as guarded about any new guy and I should stop trying to figure out if that hair and pointy nose are supposed to suggest something. In a 1979 comic it's completely possible that Warbucks is suspicious of the new hire solely because he has facial hair.

It seemed like a swipe at like-- fashion and gender trends in general. Like they have to see the highschoolers in swimsuits to tell what gender they are. It's a gross joke.

Potsticker posted:It seemed like a swipe at like-- fashion and gender trends in general. Like they have to see the highschoolers in swimsuits to tell what gender they are. It's a gross joke. At its most basic, it’s a Kids These Days And Their Skimpy Shameless Swimsuits Showing their Bodies, which is still really loving awful considering it’s coming from their teachers who should conceivably only be at this party if it’s being put up and paid for by the school (and even then it’s fuckin weird).

Our Boarding House (February 16-18, 1922)   Toonerville Folks (May 5-7, 1919)    Skipping over our Duck sauce tonight because Little Lefty has given us a lot to unpack. Just not in the strip itself. (September 21-23, 1936)    The front page of the Saturday Worker had a small, inconspicuous announcement, something that seemed to apply only to distribution.  The Monday Worker had bigger differences than morning delivery. Following the lead of the Sunday edition, The Daily Worker now included most of the departments you'd expect from a "normal" newspaper--just with a pronounced leftist editorial tilt. This seems to fall in line with probably the most successful Depression-era Communist project, sponsoring (but (let's be clear about this) not controlling) the Popular Front movement which played a part in shaping American Depression era mass culture through aesthetics. And while we're thinking about aesthetics, see if you can spot the difference between the previous week's masthead and what met the faithful on Monday morning.   In the same spirit, the new-era Worker published our buddy Lefty on a freshly expanded sports page, one whose editor would develop into a key figure in breaking down the color barrier in major league baseball. That's a hell of a trick for a paper that, a few years before, would be just as likely to tell its readership American professional sports were a bougie waste of time. Blondie From Zero (March 14-16, 1932)

Selachian posted:Harold Gray was pretty right-wing in the same way a blast furnace is slightly warm, but he'd been dead for eleven years at this point. These strips are a bit of a surprise to me because the other Annie strips I've seen from Leonard Starr were more straight adventure stuff, with less political ranting than Gray. But I suppose "that darn gubberment can't keep up with private enterprise" is a trope that always sells. Daddy Warbucks as an olde tyme Elon Musk is a pretty logical evolution of the character, absurd as that sentence may seem.
