Hello Fatty!


Fun Shoe
Oh my God why is the Peanuts Mother's day special this good. I was not prepared to be emotionally destroyed by Peppermint Patty's complicated feelings about not having a Mom.

Also, this part is brilliant:



First off, that moment of Snoopy comforting Woodstock is heartwarming as hell and I love the way he does the big brother "take my hand" thing. Second, I love the way this scene creates a sense of loss that then directly carries over into Patty's story. There's no adjustment period needed because you go into the next scene (the emotional climax of the special) feeling exactly how she does. Third, the sunset lighting behind Patty is freaking gorgeous. The gif compression really doesn't do the animation justice but this whole special looks incredible.


Anyways, go watch the Apple TV+ specials they're good.

Is this the first time we've seen Popeye getting beaten up by a strong opponent, then eating spinach for a strength boost and returning the favor? I can't remember seeing it in the strip before.
Apparently the spinach thing first started in 1932. I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of Popeye but I remember something about spinach juice before? Don't recall it being used in the context you mention, though.

One thing that really chaps my rear end about all modern iterations of Popeye is how these lazy hack writers have decided that Popeye always TALKSK LIKESK THISK, which was never actually true and ignores the rich humor of mangled language so effortlessly employed in the classic strips. Given how Milholland loves to indulge in Sailorpedia wankery, I’m surprised he hasn’t been more aware of this.

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.

I had to look this up because I assumed every version was set in the antarctic:

The original novella - Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell - Antarctic

The original movie - The Thing from Another World - Arctic

The best version - The Thing - Antarctic

I have no idea why they changed the setting for the 1950s movie, but they did switch poles for it.

The fact is that 99.9% of the reading audience is going to know Popeye exclusively from the old cartoons (or parodies of those cartoons) and he does talk like that in those.

As a long time boxing in fictional media fan I never get tired of the selective blind referee trope. :allears: I also really admire the thoroughness Russel applies to all these goofy god drat scenarios where Scarlet gets randomly KO'd at least once a story. It's always got to be plausible that her help is maximized by unseen shock value, like the right hook of a dainty dame to the gut of a juggernaut like that.


Cassandra's ploys to get Slylock worried about and committed to her are starting to get out of hand!

Cuphead, Groo, Devilman, She-ra. Bob Weber wearing his authentic nerd credentials heart on his sleeve and a better legit artist than half the thread regulars. And/Or got a kid with those tastes but either way 100% more authentic than the "how do you do fellow kids" regulars as well. :haw: Then again any artist that puts that much consistent detail into a cat girl is a bona fide anime nerd.

Loose diamonds are pretty transparent to x-Rays, though. That said, a skilled radiologist probably wouldn't have much of a problem spotting them, especially if asked to look for them.
