Arnold (February 6-12, 1984)       That Sunday is the first instance of a character going "GACK!", I think. Characters going "GACK!" will be to this strip as "ACK!" was to "Cathy".

Crabgrass Also: There's a Crabgrass book available for pre order. Go get it!  I'm kind of surprised he went with the old art for the early strips but I'm glad there's a way to buy them at least. Old School Peanuts (Oct 15, 1953)  Calvin and Hobbes (Apr 18-19, 1992)   Big Nate  Folks, is it wrong for a teacher to shove a student into a locker?

Today's sidetrip was beginning to read Jerry Robinson's pioneering biography Skippy and Percy Crosby, and almost immediately I got the shock of the day (that wasn't related to the British monarchy): The artist who would eventually spend his own money to publish an anti-Communist polemic got his professional start drawing editorial cartoons for the Socialist New York Call. He took a shine to being called "comrade", and his natural empathy for underdogs initially made a good fit. His editorial cartoons about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire were a strong showing for a 19 year old...  But then he had to go and blow it by being entertaining.  Jerry Robinson's book posted:While his editorial cartoons championing the weak and downtrodden against the powerful capitalists satisfied Crosby's crusading zeal, he wanted to publish something that would reveal "the rollicking side of my nature." Working frantically through the night, he conceived his first two comic strips. One was called Biff, and the other The Extreme Brothers--Laff and Sy. Percy inked them in through tears of laughter and spasms of giggling as he envisioned further sequences. He couldn't wait to get to the paper with his gems. His editor proclaimed them "Great stuff!" and ordered them published. But the roar that greeted them was not of laughter. The Call's readers considered the comics bourgeois frivolity. Never had the paper received such a barrage of complaints--over three hundred letters and innumerable phone calls. As one outraged reader wrote, "With conditions the way they are, people starving and in rags, does the Daily Call think it is a laughing matter to have that man, Comrade Crosby, come out and poke fun at the readers?" Needless to say, Crosby's first, cherished comic strips were yanked from the paper. (The movement later came to a different conclusion when the communist Daily Worker carried a comic strip--its hero appropriately named Lefty Louie.) Crosby learned one thing from the experience: "Communists absolutely have no sense of humor, and they positively dread ridicule." Robinson adds that what really broke him on the socialist experience was when he noticed he wasn't getting his promised $10 a week. At the end of his second month, he finally asked for his back pay. "Finding that Comrade Crosby was not working just for the cause, but considered himself one of the exploited workers that the party was seeking to release from bondage, the paper paid him in full and asked him to resign." "Lefty Louie." Ugh. Our Boarding House (September 28-30, 1922)    Toonerville Folks (December 22-24, 1919)    Dok's "Magic Sword" Duck (May 5, 1914)  LEFTY LOUIE. UGH. (May 3-5, 1937)    Although to be fair, now that he's not fighting for attention against the opinion columns, he's more Skippy-like every day. Except you wouldn't catch Skippy Skinner saying a catchphrase connected to the anti-fascist forces in the ongoing Spanish Civil War. Blondie From Zero (October 20-22, 1932)

With me running "Arnold", I've been looking into adding a 2nd comic to the post. I've been deciding on what to run (I considered Jim Davis's pre-Garfield strip "Gnorm Gnat", since the entire run was recovered a while back). Well, I found my answer:  I bought the books collecting the entire run (the pic came from another person who owns it). The strip was well-received by fans of the cartoon. Speaking as a big fan of the show, I'm super curious about it. It ran 1962-65 in newspapers (the show ended its run in 1964). Mister Beeg fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Sep 9, 2022 |

I'm 100% down for some Rocky & Bullwinkle.Giant Ethicist posted:Uramachi Sakaba I love this strip, but I guess not all storylines can be winners. Yikes. Hempuli posted:Fingerpori I love it. Cowslips Warren posted:As much as I love Arn's guardians in Val, they either let him wander off a bit too much, or Prince Val stops them from actually keeping his kid in the castle. Katwin or Tillicum should be just slightly out of panel keeping an eye on this kid. It is funny how easily he got out, given that he just recently got kidnapped. I suppose Tillicum and Katwin are distracted by the babies, but come on people. I did enjoy how the narration in the strip where he slips out mentions that he threw a rock to distract the guard though. I guess he's still too little to use CQC. Vintage Valiant (Mar. 08, 1953)
