Vintage Valiant (Sep. 30, 1956) Interesting to see Merlin in the first panel there, since we last saw him being dragged away (quite willingly) by Nimue.

Arlo, Janis. You are one of my all-time favorite comic strips, but for crying out loud KEEP YOUR CAT INDOORS. I mean, isn't this after that storyline where the cat killed a mother bird and Janis tried to save the babies, but she ended up having to watch them die one by one?

Last panel got a genuine lol from me. "I'M BUSY" Ashsaber posted:Ah yes, being 'screwed', a normal, everyday English phrase that implies... getting better treatment? Holbrook, you do three strips a day, and have for years. How do you flub a basic visual metaphor so loving badly? Visual metaphor gags are pretty much the entire conceit of On the Fastrack, and he is guaranteed to mangle/completely botch at least two of them a week. I think the answer for "why" and "how" is simply that he's not as clever as he thinks he is, and no one cares. He submits his strips, his editor rubber stamps them, then they're distributed to newspaper editors across the country who are just happy to have content/a job for another day.

Green Intern posted:This seems like a great way to get a lot of promising young knights maimed for life. It was! History is full of young rulers getting a lance through the eye and getting killed. King Henry VIII had a famous jousting accident that left him with a permanent leg injury and probable brain damage which many people blame for a major personality change afterwards.

Mister Olympus posted:the expression is "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" but holbrook remembered it as a screw, and also misremembered it as the positive version, when hammering down is a bad thing. the positive version is "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" Pretty sure it's getting tightened down so she can't leave despite poor working conditions. Unless people are misreading on purpose and I missed the joke.

They've established in older stories that there are actual criminals in that prison, so I assume this is their way of making sure the audience knows that the phantom isn't letting the serial killers and rapists out along with the political prisoners.

Murdstone posted:Mark Trail Rusty shrinking back to pre-teen size to make the panel layout work in #4.  Powered Descent posted:Curtis Curtis is so close to being decent. Just hack that entire 4th panel off and  Weembles posted:They've established in older stories that there are actual criminals in that prison, so I assume this is their way of making sure the audience knows that the phantom isn't letting the serial killers and rapists out along with the political prisoners. This is my reasoning too but we also have to remember that the Phantom went there to make sure the serial killer he likes is freed. It's a messy bit of morality all around. Also "well I can't just close this prison down forever because the fascist regime will restaff their fascist prison with new fascists" is not very satisfying for story closure.

Spud has a core of confidence in himself that Roast Beef hasn't got. It's only everything else in the world that he's nervous about.
