Stay safe, Arn. Also, why the hell am I so intrigued as to what's in that goddamn letter, Major?

Pogo 12/28-30/50   The Jack Dempsey-Tommy Gibbons fight was in 1923, so Owl's been hanging on to that one for a while. A "six-way" cold tablet was one that supposedly relieved six symptoms of a cold. And yeah, having a raw egg in your beer is a thing, although not so much in these salmonella-suspicious days. Archie 8/24/47

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Yuk yuk women amirite? I am oddly reminded of an early episode of Mad Men, where there's a kid's birthday party at their house, and Don Draper seemed half aware of what the gently caress is going on; there's a scene with all the parents drinking, and one husband telling a joke about who to save if you have only one lifevest and your wife and lawyer are both drowning. Of course you save the lawyer! And everyone laughs, save one couple and Don. And later we see that couple alone where the husband is consoling the wife about the joke, and it's this quiet sweet moment compared to the rest of the party with the kids screeching and parroting their parents' talk about sleeping on the sofa/getting hit for not having dinner on the table and the parents clearly disliking their spouses. Save for that one couple. And I think that's why Don loving bogarts outta the party. I remember growing up with parents that were antagonistic to each other for various reasons, but early on there was still some public affection. Still the most affectionate parents I ever saw were the loving Simpsons or the Bundys. LOL wimmin be shopping and wanting us men to eat like rabbits! Wimmin are not good for much! They make us Manly Men go to loving operas and it sucks! Life would be so much better without a woman around to boss us around, just have one to cook and clean! So hire a maid, and then we can just live like real men, only men!

It always warms my heart in Arlo and Janis when the punchline is "wow, this guy LOVES his wife!" The clear adoration in Zits between the parents is great too. And Wallace. And Phoebe. And Valiant. Noticing a real trend here.

At least with The Lockhorns you know that being a bickering couple is their shtick and that the comic is usually more funny than it is depressing. Dustin, as others have pointed out before, is stuck in 1950s "take my wife, please!" and "women be shopping!" bullshit.

The Lockhorns is also way cleverer about it than anything else still doing that bit in the 2020s, and in the fiction of the comic they make it clear that their mutual scorn is exceptional. I've really come around on that strip and it's now one of my favorites. Amusingly, although technically a legacy strip, one of the two cartoonists, Bunny Hoest, is the wife of its original creator.

Yeah, the vibe with the Lockhorns is more like... mutual annoyance at both of their foibles. You and I both hate this thing about me. That Dustin is just "I can't believe my wife wants to talk to me, what grievous sin did I commit to be saddled with this". There's no shared relationship or basis. Just "wimmin, amirite?" For a queer Millennial like me, that reads a little different than intended.

It’s pretty sad that people born in a certain era got married because they felt they had to in order to participate in society, and that they resent anyone who wasn’t subjected to that expectation. Fortunately they won’t be around for much longer.

Fortunately they won’t be around for much longer. I'm 34 and know many people close to my age like this. I don't think it's going anywhere lol. Been in many situations with usually adamantly masculine, "real men" who seem to take issue with the fact that I don't desire to be married or have kids. It really seems to bother people. I work in construction so you get some pretty rigid ideas on how men should live Unrelated question, where do I read mary worth without having to deal with comics kingdom? Their stupid "you've reached your monthly max of free comics" seems to pop up for no reason whatsoever these days.

I think the thing that keeps sending me about Kevin & Kell is that the only joke format Holbrook knows is "I'm doing thing." "For x normal reason?" "No for y silly reason." Which is fine but it basically means these characters all feel like they're as new to their own universe as we are. Like predator school looking out the window and being all "the herbivores are in our playground." "To play on our equipment?" "No, to eat the leaves! Great but like you all know herbivores eat plants. It's the only thing you know about them.

Fingerpori The wording in the first panel translates more to something like "psychotherapy is a good fit for everyone", but I feel that that phrasing would make less sense in the "therapy can help anyone" meaning. It's not a very strong pun in Finnish, I'd say. ANSU needs more scanning.

1980 comics      Dick Tracy  I know Crimestoppers is generally both useless and paranoid, but this one is extra useless. (and seems like a good way to lose your registration paper) Footrot Flats  The Lockhorns  RE: People's comments on the Lockhorns, I think it helps that from what I read in an interview once, the Hoests genuinely loved each other. So the jokes get to be jokes instead of an outlet for the artist's simmering contempt for their actual spouse. Computoon: Origins
