Our Boarding House (May 24-26, 1923)   Toonerville Folks (July 29-31, 1920)    Dok's "I SAID NO ROWDYISM!" Duck (July 18, 1914)  All our favorites showed up tonight.  And meanwhile, over in crowd control...  (Dok Hager's "Weather" cartoon for the 18th) Little Lefty (November 25-27, 1937)    They call the new kid Tex, but we might as well call him Hangman, seeing as how he's here to do cowboy poo poo.

Whew, got a little behind on this thread, but caught up now. So does Gil Thorp coach both basketball and football? That seems weird to me, but maybe my high school had one coach for multiple sports and I just never knew it.

Twelve by Pies posted:Whew, got a little behind on this thread, but caught up now. The impression I've gotten is that Coach Thorp coaches all the boy sports and Mrs. Coach Thorp coaches all the girl sports. Presumably Coach Kaz coached some sports too, but he recently changed jobs. I feel like he was just an assistant coach or something, but I'm not sure about that.

Crabgrass Old School Peanuts (Feb 1, 1954)  Mood. Calvin and Hobbes (Nov 22-23, 1992)   Big Nate  Anybody interested in the new (school) Peanuts collection by artists that aren't Schultz? It's closer to a graphic novel than a strip but I think it counts. I haven't read it yet so I can't vouch for it's quality but either way I think it would be interesting to see how it compares to the classic (and 70s) stuff.

Hempuli posted:The first two were way too comprehensible so let's have a third one: In Dutch, thong underwear was first referred to as "tanga" before g-string or string underwear became the more common turn. No idea either what language it originates from, though. Brazil, perhaps? I wonder if Sisqo knows. Some Guy TT posted:The Demons of Baseball Oh, Jesus. I didn't understand yesterday's comic at all until this one. Has Maggie's sister been seen before? Good thing there's a perfectly eager replacement around, Planck!

My kid did that with a coke can tab. He liked to pull them off and drop them in the can. We assume it eventually came out. Got a bit worried since there could be sharp spots on them, even called the ER about it, but they said it should come out on it's own.

drat Lynn how did all your children survive to adulthood. "No you can't have it pumpkin, you might swallow it, go play with your giant toddler toys instead," isn't some mystical passage from the Book of Coming Forth By Day, you could save yourself some trouble. My husband and I were talking last night about how a lot of the stories that the boomers wrote/were raised on involve child neglect. There's this Dutch series called Jip en Janneke from the 60s or something that has lately been under scrutiny for being sort of sexist, but apparently a lot of the stories are 1. kids aren't being supervised, 2. kids get into mischief, and 3. kids get into trouble. Boomers like to bitch that kids watch too much TV these days but drat my kid has never swallowed a button or threw all his dad's tools on the lawn for a laugh either.

davidspackage posted:Oh, Jesus. I didn't understand yesterday's comic at all until this one. Has Maggie's sister been seen before? Good thing there's a perfectly eager replacement around, Planck! She had lines in the train scene when they were kids and also the dinner scene where Copper didnt show up. Since I knew she would be important, I had to make a point of giving her a name, and it matches Maggie's (they have a themed name in Korean) but didn't realize until the last update that "May" without context doesn't really sound like a name. The second part of your comment made me realize that a lot of the plot of Demons of Baseball can be theorized in terms of Lacanian psychology. But I probably shouldn't explain what I mean by that, because spoilers, and also because I'd be really surprised if the author ever thought of it in those terms.

"No you can't have it pumpkin, you might swallow it, go play with your giant toddler toys instead," isn't some mystical passage from the Book of Coming Forth By Day, you could save yourself some trouble. I left my twin boys alone for 5 minutes to get firewood and when I got back they had gotten a lighter and started a fire in our bedroom. My fault I left the lighter where a kid can reach it through clever use of chair and other stuff to climb. One time I was working in the yard and the neighbor stopped in his car and told me he'd seen my kids on their bikes a mile away without any adults. I swear they where just there in the yard 5 minutes ago.

Everyone's pointing out the goofy writing of Invisible Scarlet O'Niel, but the art is also really fun. I went back and read what's been posted, and just look at this dude in the last panel.

But this is the Golden Age, after all -- expecting any sort of logic or consistency in how powers work is probably a fool's errand.

Virtanen  ANSU   Fingerpori  "Seiväshyppääjä ylitti itsensä" = "Pole vaulter surpassed himself"/"Pole vaulter did exceptionally well" "Seiväshyppääjä ylitti itsensä" = "Pole vaulter went over himself" It kinda works in English too? Kinda?

Lynn knew she had the button though, she was fine with her toddler capering around the house with a goddamned choking hazard for a toy! And my mom watched me like a hawk and I still post here.

Planck was kinda held captive in chains for two years in Baseball Death Camp. He didn't get much of a chance to write letters, let alone to hand them to the Death Camp Post Office.
