Powered Descent posted:1993? Survivor and Big Brother, the first things we'd recognize as modern reality TV, were still years in the future. What was Hwurmp posted:stuff like Cops, probably ellie the beep posted:my guess is candid camera, americas funniest home videos, that sort of thing Powered Descent posted:Those all make sense, but yeah, Cops in particular is almost certainly what he was talking about. Reali-TV was actually a much broader trend than you all are thinking of, it just doesn't get much attention in pop culture consciousness because its artistic merit is nearly impossible to defend. I don't mean that aesthetically, although that also tends to be true, but in terms of its economic motivation.

Some Guy TT posted:The Demons of Baseball Fools... I've figured out their tactic. They're playing to win! Some Guy TT posted:Still behind but just wondering, what was the resolution to the plotline about Bets being agitated that Gunther was keeping her living in the house a secret from his mother? Or was there one? Luann doesn't really seem to 'do' resolutions; a problem is introduced, the character with the problem gripes about it for a few strips while the other characters stare off into space and 'comically' misinterpret them or just talk about stuff they like, cutaway to a different set of characters and start from the top.

Fingerpori The Finnish phrasing in the last panel was a bit less literal, effectively "people walk with their faces attached to their phones", but I think the more literal statement makes the joke slightly funnier. ANSU

Back from the trip! Gonna catch up by finishing up The Diary of Ma-Chan! Spoilered the first page because of nudity. It's Barbie Doll nudity, but I don't wanna risk it    And that's it for the strip! Like I said, it was short-lived, only lasting just under 3 months. Of course, Osamu Tezuka would go on to bigger things after his humble beginning. That's not the end of Tezuka for this thread, though. To pad out the book collection they included a bunch of OTHER newspaper strips Tezuka did over the years. Yeah, he did a bunch, although they were all short lived. And they were all translated, so stay tuned for more Tezuka obscurities! Before I end the post, Tezuka wrote an afterword for each strip featured in the book, including "Ma-Chan". They happened to be translated to English, so here it is:

The fun linguistic thing is the "shokokumin shimbun" could be more-directly translated as "little citizens' newspaper" rather than "children's newspaper" - wartime propaganda is a heck of a thing!
