Q-rais' stuff seems to really have a thing for cutesy bleakness and/or existential horror. I probably first learned about them here, but in case someone else hasn't heard, there are some Q-rais-made animations on Youtube. I quite like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48-RA4BNXVc They tend to also go for a bleak/mildly unnerving tone and surrealism.

Our Boarding House (June 18-20, 1923) And as a small bonus, a selection from the June 20, '23 edition of Them Days Is Gone Forever which caught my eye. If you don't remember the gimmick from the time we took this strip for a test drive, the dialogue is sung to the tune of "Turkey In The Straw". Toonerville Folks (August 23-25, 1920) Dok's "Sliding Sense of Job Insecurity" Duck (July 24, 1914) Anyway, back to Little Lefty, and it looks like Buttons spilled the beans in the missing Saturday strip. (December 20-22, 1937)

Is it just an intentional gag at this point that RJ Haywire doesn't have a consistent personality or appearance?

I've been participating in a Sci-fi TTRPG and we visited a seedy space yakitori stand. I tend to doodle during the sessions and was inspired by Uramachi Sakaba on how such a place could source their meat.

Powered Descent posted:I wonder if any of them are starting to think it might have been easier after all to sail down the Med and up the Atlantic coast. They might have to fight their way through Gibraltar, but at least they wouldn't be hauling the drat boats uphill. Again. People took this route in real life, so I assume it makes practical sense. I agree that as far as hard work goes I'd rather be pulling on an oar myself though. Powered Descent posted:Slylock Fox 4.

I just want to say that Pogo is another one of those strips I encountered at too young an age to be bothered trying to figure out what everyone was saying and too late in it's run to grow to appreciate. Also what I encountered was apparently a reboot? Anyway, like with Prince Valiant I appreciate getting a chance to experience it.

I think they were meant to be doing this trip in late winter/early spring to avoid the storms in the North Atlantic. Some reason like that.

Ah yes, the 90s reboot of Pogo, which I and probably most of the world have forgotten. A fine example of a project that was doomed from the start.

I think that's too far. Her "it's rough being a mother" schtick is nothing compared to the "nothing is sexier than people (including children) watching other people have sex in public places" manifesto.

A+J I was told once this little routine isn't really about trying out a bottle like you'd try a sample at an ice cream place. It's more about making the the bottle isn't skunked, and that basically nobody ever sends one back.

Have the guards at this prison done anything wrong? Because they have extracted their target, they should be leaving, but instead they are choosing to stay and kill people.

Prison guards will not let an escapee go without some effort at tracking & stopping. Arguably, they’re sowing discouragement.

goatface posted:Have the guards at this prison done anything wrong? Because they have extracted their target, they should be leaving, but instead they are choosing to stay and kill people. The comic is relying on the reader knowing that they're guards at a torture prision in a fascist dictatorship and also bit on the idea that they can't quickly escape now that Savarna stirred up the wasps' nest. But I guess they are opening themselves to the "contractors on the Death Star II" guilt by association problem.

Fair enough, I didn't remember it being a torture site. Still seems like it would have been easier to dart her full of jungle sedatives and carry her out like a phantom imo.

The assumption is if you're reading The Phantom in 2023, you're already up to speed on the lore. Mutts Sally Forth Skippy (March 19, 1935) Peanuts (February 5, 1976) Miss Peach (July 20, 1989) Dinkleshaft Mutt and Jeff Rip Haywire Thimble Theater (September 4, 1939) Olive & Popeye After dialing it back for a few years, Christmas came back to Out Our Way in a major way in '39 and '40. Maybe the entire rest of the world being on fire will do that to you. (December 23-25, 1940) So what's the panel JR Williams sends out for the big "peace on Earth" day itself? Preparation for war, of course. (Yeah, I saw the wrong date too, but this is one that went out in the papers that published on December 25th.)
