The early Little Nemo strips before he actually manages to get to Dreamland and stay there really capture that weird frustrating quality some dreams have where you're just kind of doing the same thing over and over again.PetraCore posted:It might help if they wore pants. I mean that wouldn't help the soaked in water problem but just like, in general. I'm pretty sure some kind of trousers or hose would be more historically accurate too.  Vintage Valiant (Jul. 08, 1956)  I haven't seen Empire Strikes Back in a long time so please forgive the lack of a quote or joke about that.

Selachian posted:Probably about five or six years, whenever Dan DeCarlo comes in and revamps the characters into their more modern style (which is also around the time where Montana stops doing ongoing stories and it becomes a gag-a-day strip). He looks like the sterotypical Japanese person from WWII propaganda comics.

The trick that's making it so good in wallace is that it might be time travel for real, it might be wallace imagining things and the guy deciding to play along with the strange child, and the art is done to specifically allow this ambiguity

Ok so if like me you were wondering what a "jerky track" was a brief google leads me to think it probably was a track which had water pans, or troughs, in it so that early steam engines that needed to rewater could do so without stopping. Supposedly this lead to the term "jerkwater town", a town so dinky you didn't bother stopping the train there. Maybe. The more common explanation you'll see for the term is that engineers would literally "jerk" water in buckets up from a railside creek to refill their tank, or that the "jerk" was from having to pull down the spout of a railside water tower, and places where you had to do this were places without a real train station - hence "jerkwater town". I don't know, pick whichever one appeals to you. Welp, that's my jerk story! Neophyte fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Mar 31, 2023 |

He paid $3000 for a (new) rear-projection TV? In 2023? Or am I just forgetting that Crabgrass takes place like 30 years ago and thus this makes more sense.

I thought there was speculation that Crabgrass is set in the '80s? I don't know that it's made super clear in the strip, though.
