That's... the end of the current Solver story? I can't help but feel that Charlotte Grote stories ended when Bad Machinery did, and they were a lot of great stories but maybe Allison is stringing his favorite along too much. There were a lot of Shelly Winters stories too but she eventually moved on to supporting cast and it seems that was for the better. Steeple is great, it's not like his stuff is ever horrible. The ideas just seem to be stretching thin other than the completely new set of characters and unique premise that is currently his strongest ongoing. Obligatory Wallace Great Post.

manero posted:Nancy 1947 This Nancy hypnosis arc is strange, like the comic was getting stale so the protagonist gets a superpower. Next Sluggo will be able to turn into living rock and Aunt Fritzi becomes mistress of magnetism.

Medenmath posted:Vintage Valiant (Mar. 22, 1953) Huh, I guess Aleta's been corresponding with her people back home after all. The circumstances of her departure were rather abrupt (and more than a little alarming), and she's been gone for years.

Funky Winkerbean is still on the top floor of this stack because hoo boy... So let me get this straight. BoyLisa and Jess, without calling ahead, are showing up on the doorstep of a total stranger, one who they've been told might have issues. And somehow he's supposed to be the sinister one today. C'mon Tom, maybe he thinks they're Jehovah's Witnesses. On the other hand, Crankshaft balances the scale by giving us a traditionally creepy Mason face.  But enough of that, welcome to "Lazarus Risen" day in Mutts!  Sally Forth  Skippy (November 19, 1934)  Peanuts (September 15, 1975)  Mutt and Jeff, in which Jeff knows how to introduce himself to a newcomer.  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (April 13, 1939)  Out Our Way, in which Goldie begins rebuilding his rep. (October 23-25, 1939)

It's a bit early, but in today's extended Blueberry: El Tigre gets upset at... well, everyone, or Finally, some good news for Blueberry, or Adios, Vigo...    And so... our latest adventure draws to a close! And what an adventure! Because the next story is... well, I would say it is the last story in the main adventure... with the remaining books being almost epilogues? You'll see what I mean. Join me next time, won't you? In... At the Road's End.

Bad Machinery John Allison posted:After sitting out the last story, Erin Winters returns with her appalling car. I can believe in any number of supernatural beasts in these stories but believing that "Phyllis" can pass her MOT just pushes things a bit too far. I know people aren't fools.

Selachian posted:Bonus news story! What won't those electronic brains do next? Assuming this is from the '49 paper, this is probably the interim SWAC system finished in 1950 and used by the Bureau of Standards until the Raytheon RAYDAC was finished in 1953. UCLA took it over in 1954 and used it until the 60s.

Thanks for the good words on Marlys! We’re in an Arnold phase and hoo boy is it a doozy. Also some real good comics posted in general today, but I’m in a rush and don’t have time to call them out by name. If you posted, assume I love it!

I was catching up today and the thing that stood out the most to me with Mary Worth is that Dawn seems to have mentioned she hooked up with Jared when he helped her out of an abusive situation too? Jared has a loving history of dating women that come to him for help? How does he still have a job?!
