So I take it Jules recently googled something and came across one of those weird little articles that seem to say a bunch of vague things without ever getting to a point and makes you wonder if it was "written" by Markov chains purely for the clicks?

People try really hard to convince themselves the comic was always about the dumb big-headed kid getting owned for existing and his kick-rear end dog, and never anything else.

In Finland the phrase for "biggest authority on birds" can be the same as "the biggest guy for knowing birds", so the joke possibly works a bit better in Finnish, but hopefully still in English.

It's not that hard. Unless you are 80 years old or care about old comics, that's all you've seen since it's what Charles Schulz decided the comic should be about and repeated it for decades. When I was growing up in the 80s I couldn't figure out why the comic was so popular and the artist so revered especially by geniuses like Watterson.

Anyway, on to Thimble Theater and oh poo poo, I totally forgot to hang a flag on a very big transition earlier this week, because we have a new contender at the art table. And somehow I didn't post his first strip at all. Not a clue how I managed that, but let's make sure we've got the full set.


(December 4, 1939)

That's the first signed Thimble Theater of Bela "Bill" Zaboly who will spend the next twenty years drawing Popeye, very gradually turning the strip to a somewhat looser style. And just to tie things together, he was the artist for Our Boarding House from 1936 to 1938 after Gene Ahern left NEA. Tom Sims continues on scripting duties.

Anyway, hail and farewell to Doc Winner, a good artist, but a man who couldn't draw a Jeep to save his life.

And we finally get around to Thursday's Olive & Popeye

Looking around, it appears Stamm's son published a modern Scarlet graphic novel a while ago. I don't know if it's a new story or the original stories modernized with updated art -- I see the baby in the fire from the orphanage plane crash story on the cover, for instance. Looks hard to find now, unfortunately.

"Oh, it's fine because I'll be long-dead to see the consequences of my actions" is some real boomer brainrot. gently caress you, Batiuk.

It's also a stupid retcon since he drew the meteor nearly on top of Earth in a previous strip.
