There should be a bar for comic strip main characters who don’t appear in their own strips. Rex Morgan, Judge Parker, Barney Google. There were a bewildering number of Peanuts when I was a kid that did NOT feature good ol’ Charlie Brown.

Drakyn posted:Surely I wasn't the only kid who referred to it incessantly as 'Snoopy.' Wasn't it occasionally called that in some markets? I don't think it ever was when I was growing up, but I did too. Also, I just want to say, look at that last batch of Intelligent Life. How the gently caress is that Reptilicus-SFX level poo poo acceptable. I really do hate it more than Legend of Bill, and Legend of Bill deserves everything everyone says about it.

Pogo 7/20-22/50   Archie 2/13-15/47    "Comic valentines," which featured insulting verses instead of sentimental or romantic ones, used to be a thing. Here's a collection of Victorian-era comic valentines (warning: some racist and anti-Irish content). Selachian fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Apr 17, 2023 |

Selachian posted:Archie 2/10-12/47 In the 80s I found a "bound volume" collection of Archie comics at our local library and spent a few days pouring through the whole thing. None of the strips were as old as these and Jughead was pretty boring other than the whole "eat sandwiches" thing. These early strips you're sharing have really made him my favorite character! Oh, and the only thing that really stuck out to me in the anthology was this one panel where Archie is going home in his old jalopy and there's a full moon in the background ... and it's loving enormous! Looks like something out of Majorskas mask! If I ever find it I'll share it.

To try to mimic pronunciations in loan words was seen as a foppish affectation - plays make fun of it, especially with Francophiles and Italophiles. It makes a degree of sense if you reflect how much more diverse accents used to be. Like... which Spanish pronunciation?

Fingerpori I'm pretty sure this is a rerun. And of course "lotto" is the original Italian word for lottery, and the term still used in large parts of Europe.
