apparently brand-new cutting-edge full-featured bicycles back then were as much as thirty dollars, so presumably all of the stuff he keeps buying (it was quite the pile) add up even if he's buying used/inexpensive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sy0WFVhbZk

few pages late, but I liked Funny Online Animals shortly after its early strips, it wavered in quality since then but consistently looked pretty good, but I think everything past that multi-week creepy horror story arc that ended in the ||mouse and cat/spy vs. spy joke|| (which I loved) has basically just been terrible.

Selachian posted:Rhymes with Orange I was going to post here to say something along the lines of "Don't they mean Benjamin Button?", until I remembered that in the Portrait of Dorian Gray the painting aged and corroded instead of Dorian, so this still works.

Giant Ethicist posted:Yeah, here it's pork belly rather than cured bacon as such. Mostly I went with "bacon" so it would fit better in Q-Rais' extremely narrow speech bubbles. Just want to chime in to mention that making anything fit inside the speech bubbles is a ludicrously important aspect of translating comics compared to anything else. I don't like using bigger words, and sometimes I add smaller words to prevent too much obviously white space from appearing in a panel next to the bigger ones. It's all very silly. It's also not something you'd ever notice if I didn't explicitly tell you. By contrast, the whole paladin thing required wordplay that obviously couldn't translated into English directly. In Korean that word could be read as "sex engineer" in addition to many other interpretations.

Ajo = Drive Silta = Bridge (not sure what kind of ramp would have such a massive sign, but whatever) Ajos = Abscess ("a collection of pus that has built up within the tissue of the body") Ilta = Meeting (literally "evening", but can be used similarly as terms like "game night" = people gathering to play games)

Retail from the 1930s 3/23/35  "You should hear what Madge's been saying about you -- that you're refined, stuck-up, and always acting like a lady." Bonus Letter to the Editor!

Mutts Sally Forth  Peanuts (June 7, 1975)  Don't You Do It, TomBat  Crankshaft  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (January 4, 1939)  We've reached a milestone with these Out Our Way posts, because yesterday's post was the final batch of dailies from the sixteen year Digital Comics Museum stockpile I've been milking since 2013. In case you came in late, here's the full collection, and thank you to DCM member JonTheScanner for the gift I have ruthlessly pillaged lo these many years. Anyway, we're launching into 1939 today, so whoever was wondering a few pages back how OOW would deal with WW2, you won't have to wait much longer now. (January 2-4, 1939, so hey, we caught up with Popeye, too.)

Is Out Our Way set in its current era, in this case 1939, or is it supposed to take place earlier, around the turn of the century? I somehow got the impression it was all about nostalgia that adults in the 1920s and 1930s might have for their own childhoods.

I think that's what the "Born Thirty Years Too Soon" strips are aiming at.

Yeah, by the time Williams reaches the end of his run in the 50s, Worry Wart's sitting in front of a TV while he's having his moments, which pretty well settles it.

Batiuk is definitely about to do a racial prejudice arc with the third and fourth black characters I've ever seen in his work, who were both seemingly introduced about a week ago

Did his ICE arc end with them calling Bill Clinton to stop the deportation, and then sitting down for laughs and pizza with the ICE agents, or did I hallucinate that

"We almost ruined your life, lol!" "Bill Clinton ate pizza here once, I'll call him up for a personal favor!" "That was easy, I guess immigration policing isn't all it's cracked up to be! You ICE guys are just doing your jobs!" LAUGH TRACK "Hey, did that broad bring back my pizza warmer bags she lost when her life was almost ruined?!" Hauntingly real, unfortunately.
