Vater und Sohn: Finally some mental stimulation From here on out my source jumps between the episodes originally published in the paper and ones that came from later collected editions more or less at will, so I'm just gonna post them in the order I get them.

This strip continues to be extremely hosed up. "Hey, remember how we chop off your feet?" "Yeah, that's kinda annoying I guess." riderchop posted:

See, this is why you make sure you have the Shady Operating Theater and the Disreputable Surgeon on board before you start doing radical brain surgery kidnappings. Also, probably shouldn't do them in front of law enforcement witnesses, but that ship has also sailed.

Rhymes with Orange Get Fuzzy 6/11/02  Brenda Starr 12/2-4/48    Smokey Stover 6/13/48  Everyday Movies 4/3/35  "And besides all that, Theresa, he doesn't think women should work after they're married." Bonus Ad! I like this one for the sheer drama in the first few panels ... plus the bus full of suds.

Phantom creators have finally figured out that instead of having to set up dramatic scenarios that tease (and never pull through on) big changes in the Phantom universe and commit to one storyline, they can just rapid-fire these scenarios in endless variations as long as every so often they bookend them with a "what if" panel.

If Phantom had not been posted for 6 months straight and resumed today there would be literally no change to the story other than missing out on a cool hypothetical about Sarvarna kicking rear end. Not gonna say the strip should actually be dropped but really makes me think. I mean gee at least we got to see Sarvarna be cool.

To be fair that does seem to be the period all these legacy and long-running cartoonists would rather be working in.

2018 Spiderman 1980 comics      Cutting off the 80s paper tour early because Redeye apparently can get yikes and Drabble is a nothing of a comic. Locher Tracy  Footrot Flats's site appears to have died.   Unless someone else knows a low-effort place to find them, I guess that's it.

Oh no! I did really like seeing this one - it gave a nice view of life (at the time) from a place not often seen in general newspaper comics (rural New Zealand, not dogs, before anyone gets smart). I do hope it gets back up, somehow.

Samovar posted:Oh no! I've started saving a lot of the comics I like to my hard drive for reasons like this. It's sort of weird but this thread has become a sort of unofficial archive for the old and the rare, and yet we all know that our own forums are tenuous at best. I've been going though old threads before the Waffleimages death, and some of them only have two or three regular strips left in dozens of pages. We are kind of comic strip historians here Breaking Cat News  Phoebe and Her Unicorn  Wallace the Brave  Heart of the City  Curtis
