That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

So this ended up being chauvinist for a completely different reason than I was expecting. Marla's negativity isn't based on Turn Off The Lights having bad press, but on the idea that Spider-Man is somehow a more nerdy or less mainstream brand name than Disney. And I'm going to go on a limb here and say that no, this was blatantly untrue even before the Disney merger made Spider-Man literally another Disney brand.

Julet Esqu posted:

I guess asking her what she'd like to see would be out of the question.

Yeah, this too. As far as I can remember all we know about Val's theatrical preferences is that she really enjoyed Stomp, suggesting that she's a bigger fan of complex technical stuff (Turn Off The Lights) than she is big musical numbers (Wicked) or costuming (Lion King). I'd actually assumed from the outset that Cooper was making an educated guess about what show both of them were most likely to enjoy. Which I probably shouldn't have, because he's Cooper, but Marla being presented as wise here when she's every bit as ignorant as he is just annoyed me.

Vintage Valiant (Jul. 03, 1938)



Fun fact: the guy on the losing end of both is Norwegian.

But I went back to the beginning of Vintage Val to read the few from before I started following it, which was I think when Val and Gawain were sent on the false quest which was actually a scheme to ransom Gawain. I can't believe that you only started posting them two years ago! It feels like I've been reading along with them forever, in the best possible way. Thanks for posting it; It's consistently one of my favourite things to read.

Also I love the grotesqueness of Pondus. It's the uncanny flat ones like Intelligent Life which are repulsive to me.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! And that's really cool, I don't have the background to know whether the moves Val pulls sometimes would actually work, but I guess Hal did some homework for that strip.

In more general Vintage Prince Valiant news, I recently got a large format scanner, so strips from now on will be one image! :toot: I have noticed this scanner likes to make colors more saturated so I might have to play with the settings or do some minor post-scan adjusting, but if anyone has any comments on how it looks, now's the time. Also, seeing a strip I posted back in 2020 back when I was making these a little smaller reminds me that I've been using a resolution of 1400 pixels wide, but if anyone has a comment on that I can change that too - I just don't want the files to be huge. I need to get better at getting the strips straight up-and-down on the scanner so I don't give too much to whitespace now that I can do the whole page at once.

Your scans of Val for the past two years have been making me consider dropping unpleasant amounts of money on the Fantagraphics collections. They're a bit hard to find north of the 49th but I think I might try to track down at least the first decade as a Christmas present to myself.
