It occurs to me that there's a pretty fine line between "wacky hijinks of a family living outdoors" and just "being homeless".

Was Stella part of the Mary Worth cast before she started dating Wilbur? Is Wilbur out of the friend rotation now that Stella is Mary’s pal?

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.

Isn't that a pretty common point of discussion in American media from the time involving giant apes? Certainly it's been talked about with the first King Kong film. Is the ape just a big giant ape? Is it an allegory? An unconscious reflection of the creative team's views who were steeped in the white supremacy and racist eugenics of the day? It's hard to separate sometimes.

Hell, real live humans were still found in exhibitions, circuses, and the like well into the 20th century.

All this to say, yeah it pinged something on my radar, too.

My Patreon subscribers ($3+) can read this whole story in full, now!

The X-Men are a bunch of lads who go to a school run by a bald fella who constantly sends them to their deaths. This story takes place around 1985-86.

Brick Springstern is a singer who, accompanied by the “10th Avenue Band”, has delighted crowds all over the world, but most specifically, the Transformers in issue 14 of their Marvel series. Annoyingly, he is credited in that comic as “Brick Springhorn” 50% of the time, and you have to decide which side you’re on. I consulted James Roberts, who wrote Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye” for IDW, and he said I should go “Springstern”.

That story can be dated pretty precisely because the Phoenix on that version of the X-Men team was only there for like 15 months before getting written out and becoming part of Excalibur.

I appreciate that we straight up have the X-Men here, but we still get "Willy Joel" and "John Cheetah Beiderbeck."

I don't know what other twists and turns this rip-roaring Novelty Blouse story has in store, but for the time being: 'Abo' is a slur. Most non-Australians aren't aware of that since it sounds like any other innocuous nickname, but, now you know. You might like to start using sensitivity spoilers and warnings for some of these pages — erring on the side of caution if the wide, exciting spectrum of Australian racial issues is alien to you.

Crabgrass has always been explicitly set in the mid-late 80s with sometimes 90s stuff sneaking in there, when Tauhid was a kid.

Sometimes people confuse this with Wallace, which is set in the present, but people sometimes forget that it is because Will Henry doesn't like drawing cell phones and such.

Yes it was. Used to be one of my favorite strips but modern Zits is not as good. I think the writers are getting too far removed from parent-of-a-teen age and/or running out of material.
