For a good three minutes here, I thought Lindesfarne was suggesting that they let their friends and family thunderdome it out in the reception hall before the wedding.

F Minus Mark Trail  They showed up with a youtuber (sorry, I mean 'bikboker'), a director, and a reporter. Did she not expect questions? Mary Worth  The Phantom  "'Not now, please, I am just a mortal man!' said Mozz, as he pushed away the supermodels and got out of the bed where he had just spent 12 intensely hot hours. As he put on his robe, his massive manhood swayed pendulously. Soon he was back to work on his scientific experiments. Suddenly, the phone rang. He answered. It was the Phantom...again. He needed his help once more. 'Dammit!' thought Mozz, 'I guess cold fusion will have to wait. Can't this guy do anything right?'" Pooch Cafe  Pray for Mojo. Rex Morgan MD  Andertoons  Apartment 3-G

Ah yes Foob, what an awful child, participating in a strike??? Kill him, punish the disobedient child! Demons of Baseball is so good, the art so emotive.  And... whew, Mark Trail. Bad writing, that panel one 180 degree head turn, that panel two asymmetrical arms and scribble wrist. Is the colorist in full revolt now? Tiger Lady just growing random skin blotches, the entire camera is sky blue now? Hahahaha, what a joke.

I'm fascinated by that woman's outfit -- a man's shirt and pants with suspenders and tie, heels, headband, sunglasses, parasol. I guess people dressed really casually on vacation at camp in the 30s?

Hostile V posted:[pinches the bridge of my nose] Alright I guess it's my turn to ask questions about this dogshit comic. First is why does this dude need an artificial tail? Second is why doesn't your god queen science tyrant just completely transform you into a form that is not hindered in that way? She's god and genetics is magic, why did he transform into something incomplete and need a prosthetic. I just assume it means that he has a sad Hank Hill rear end while human- no tail, no rear end. It makes as much sense as anything Holbrook writes  Let's disregard that even if he lost his tail, if he was *born* with one then Science Lady has no reason other than laziness not to just have him regrow the drat thing. It's still encoded in his DNA. A mouse with its tail removed will not have tailless children.

I forget if this was mentioned before but did the guy behind the Bullwinkle comic also work on the show out of curiosity? Mostly because the writing and humor are pretty much spot on

Al Kilgore did work on "Underdog", though, which was produced by the sister company of the Bullwinkle studio. (How many people thought "Bullwinkle" and "Underdog" were from the same producer because of the animation style?)

Larryb posted:Guilty The very first TV cartoon ever made, "Crusader Rabbit", was serialized. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3hHQvkUhJo In fact, there's a strong Bullwinkle connection; "Crusader" and "Bullwinkle" were both produced by Jay Ward. A lot of early TV cartoons were serialized, although 'Bullwinkle" and 'Underdog" are probably the best known examples from the era. EDIT: If anyone's looking for something to read, I highly recommend The Moose That Roared, which chronicles the history of Bullwinkle and Jay Ward's animation empire in general.

The Bullwinkle comic is really neat. The only thing that jumps out at me is that it's not consistent in emulating Boris and Natasha's speech patterns from the cartoon. Mister Beeg posted:The very first TV cartoon ever made, "Crusader Rabbit", was serialized. It wouldn't surprise me if Crusader Rabbit influenced the look of Calvin and Hobbes. https://atomicrobotcomics.patternbyetsy.com/post/862825751220/retro-saturday-morning-crusader-rabbit
