Visiting there in google maps, I think it's on the other side. Looks like the David Geffen Hall, home of the New York Philarmonic. It's missing an advertisement on the corner, but everything else lines up.

Lmfao Scarlet owns. Brenda Starr is usually what I'd call uhhh inconsistent but I want to see more adventures of this absurdly tough baby. I hope B Bomb grows up to be a Popeye style roaming force of nature. The strip runs that long, right?

goddamn old school Mary would have poo poo with a dog fighting ring. She'd make one call and everyone (minus Wilbur because he mistook his phone for a sandwich and needs something new to eat) would Calvary the gently caress up and be ready to free some dogs and bust some heads.

The normal family is going to get creeped out by how strange the Forth's home and life is and leave. I wouldn't be surprised if they leave early in order to give the Forths a way out of their bad vacation subplot.

From what I can see, there are some more B-Bomb stories over the rest of the 50s/early 60s, but she drops out of the strip after 1964, sadly. Still, that's quite a while off...

To me it just feels like an opportunity for Ces to go back through all his various running gags -- the evil doll, the Forths' neighbors hating them, Hil's friends' telepathy and future life, etc. -- with a fresh set of characters.

Instead of giving useful advice that would help the readers in general, Scarlett helps this specific person while making her column useless for everyone else.

Haven't listened to the podcast yet so it may come up, but something that just occurred to me today about how he got past my radar for so long is that writing sarcastic "I am so smart here's a bunch of nonsense" books was Dave Barry's shtick and I just assumed Scott Adams was doing a similar joke.

I read a lot of Dave Barry as a kid and if you are about 12 it's pretty OK and harmless. I'm pretty sure Barry was never serious about any of his bizarre stories, and while I can't swear that he didn't have some problematic viewpoints, he didn't seem outright crazy. ED: According to Wiki, he's libertarian, but those might have also been joke campaigns, so *does see-saw motion with hand* eeeh?

That's what I mean, yeah, Barry's nonsense in his books (the one that comes to mind is a bunch of made-up Americana stuff presented as fact from an "expert") was part of the jokes and I read Adams's "I am so much better than my co-workers" stuff in a similar vein because I got into them at the same time.

Pogo 1/22-24/51 That last panel is a horrible pun on "Massa's in De Cold, Cold Ground," one of Stephen Foster's sentimentally racist songs that used to be considered classic Americana until someone got around to reading the lyrics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2GvR1tAces   Archie 9/18-20/47
