The more I think about it the more I am weirded out by seeing the Foglio character and clothing design put on a boring skinny stick girl because it's just so indistinct and bland and boring and calls to attention just how much detail the Foglios commit to.

I hadn't read that comic to defend my sanity, but then after reading this I tried again, and I feel like I lost some more brain cells, thank you very much

Anyways, in today's Blueberry: Campbell gets upset at Will, or Strawfield sets his pieces on the board, or Dolly and Will get volunteered

These are really sharp looking. Is this a new source?

Yeah, the quality of my sources varies from episode to episode. I think this and the next three are all hi-res scans from a book (hence the pagination), so it's definitely a step up from what we saw with "Willy the Djinn."

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.
NEW COMIC TIME!!

Krazy Kat began it's life as basement strip for George Harriman's 'The Dingbat Family' before taking a life of it's own. After two aborted attempts at a daily strip in 1911 and '12 they finally found their groove in 1913, appearing daily until Harriman's death in 1944. The Sunday strip began in 1916 and except for a brief hiatus in the summer of 1934 also continued, with the final Sunday strip appearing two months after Harriman's death. While not very popular among the general public, the strip found an audience among intellectuals such as H. L. Mencken, P. G. Wodehouse, Jack Kerouac, e.e. cummings and artist Paul Nash. Inspiring everything from Jazz ballet to mass produced merchandise, (Krazy and Ignatz would become the second ever cartoon characters to get merchendise after Felix the Cat), The strip also became a cultural touchstone for the young LGBTQ community as well as being your favourite comic creator's comic creator.

I'll be posting Sunday strips scanned from Fatagraphic's Harriman Library Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so long as I don't forget.

:tipshat: Hah, thanks. I am up to daily griping though. If I'm the only dedicated reader with my daily "spot the errors" hate read then I wouldn't mind it if vanished, not enough to seek it myself. It's entertaining because it's so openly lazy and we're like two years into it now, it's not getting better and we've got the third low effort Cricket story coming in.

We just had that nice Georgia Dunn twitter thread about how many old zombie strips steal real estate on the paper and Mark Trail should've died with Jamsallen. Jules could probably make something decent if she put her heart into it(the first week of Trail strips was really nice) but by now she's just cynically locking down a paycheck and submitting naked rough draft sketches and so on.

I always thought they should have ditched the weekday Mark Trail after they canned Jam Esallen and keep the nature Sunday ones.

Glad someone is finally posting this. I would have, but for the lack of any source material whatsoever. It’s a unique work and incredibly important to the medium as a whole. It’s also dense, peculiar, and not very accessible, so I wonder what the thread will think of it, but I found the effort of getting into its strange rhythms and language to be well worth the while.

Welcome to Coconino County.

Wikipedia posted:

Ice cream socials are a traditional gathering, dating back to the 18th century in North America. The first one recorded in America was in 1744, when Maryland governor Thomas Bladen served ice cream for a dinner party. The first one in the White House was in 1802, with the 3rd U.S. president, Thomas Jefferson. When ice cream became more available to the public in the 1800s, organizations such as schools and churches started hosting them. Commencing in the 1860s, church events were often fashioned after the "ice cream gardens" common in society at the time.[2][3] Today, they still take place in governmental and upper class circles and have spread to all classes and many types of organization with the increased popularity and availability of ice cream.[
