Schwarzwald posted:Is this a serious inquiry? We had a couple for when the power went out instead of just candles when I was a kid. I'll explain then. Lantern oil isn't pure(and probably was even less pure a century and change ago) and the detritus would sink to the bottom. If the oil all burned up, that left over trash would burn making nasty smoke and ash. So if you didn't clean them when you refill and let them burn out, it was pretty gross. .

Rhymes with Orange Get Fuzzy 5/30/02  Brenda Starr 11/4-6/48    Smokey Stover 3/21/48  Everyday Movies 3/19/35  "We should have brought our lunch -- I believe the testimony is going to be very unpleasant." Bonus Ads! Apparently 1948 saw manufacturers competing to see who could offer the most gadget-laden ring for kids.   Bonus points for describing a magnifying lens as a "Magni-Ray Ring."

Not gonna have a chance to post this evening, so here’s an early batch. ˇAragones!  Life in Hell  Note that these are boomer memories of childhood rhymes, and yet I still remember (slightly different versions of) them from elementary school. Although my boomer mom probably taught me a couple. Sylvia  Marlys!

Murdstone posted:Mark Trail This just reminded me of how Jules set up, then abandoned, the "animals really do talk to Mark" idea. It was like the one creative thing to do with this strip. And is Jared supposed to be ugly? He doesn't look significantly different than anyone else in this strip. Wait, was Jared supposed to be a burn victim or am I thinking of another guy? Breaking Cat News     Phoebe and Her Unicorn    Wallace the Brave    Heart of the City     Curtis, you only get one strip because holy hell Comics Kingdom won't give you YESTERDAY'S strip for free.

Burn victim is another guy. Jared's traits are that he is a schlub who can't stop saying "Gosh, I'm so boring and forgettable. You'd be better off without me." and then getting upset when someone looks away from him.

Crankshaft  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater, in which elsewhere on the island, Wimpy gets an inexplicable craving for suckling pig. (December 30, 1938)  Out Our Way (December 19-21, 1938)   After all that about the oil lamp yesterday, I'm a little bit hesitant to talk about how this is an adorable scene with the potential for hypothermia.

It's "Out Our Way" not "And He Did". Every one of the characters in that strip lived long lives and died in bed of old age surrounded by their loving families and a dorg. Also, when Williams does a sad strip he always does a little poem to drive it home.
