I currently follow exactly one comic book YouTuber, and it's Sasha from Casually Comics. She's not only a lot of fun but zeroes in on the type of older stories that lit me up when I was young and foolish (and probably would've done the same to Jeff, too, if we were reading about content instead of collectibles). Which is my way of telling TomBat to dial back this "wimmin, amirite?" crap just a smidgen.

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.

Plus, there's the complicating factor that he was only half being a jerk, since it was revealed he wasn't calling her Betty out of malice but because Faye had a twin sister named Betty that disappeared when they were all young enough that Faye doesn't really remember her and Ten sorta mixed Faye and Betty together in his head and was trying to figure out what the gently caress was up with that. That's only half a mitigating factor, though, because he still kept pushing it even when it was upsetting her, and iirc he was a jerk about other things like her art.

I think it would be really funny if only one of the hippie witch kids (Sweetpea and Pod?) were actually psychic and the other had just been faking it the entire time to not be left out.

I know this is just a simple "two different things with the same name" joke but I hate Pluggers and this one makes no sense and I have to assume it's boomer bullshit.


V8's slogan was "Wow, I Could've Had a V8" in plugger times.

Thinking of that series of strips with the female comic author who gradually shrinks into the background as men take the focus still cracks me up in a disgusted way.

Not just the dull lovely old men artists but the return of an established dead character who faked his own death to spend 30 years hiding and preparing a D-lister Hulk ripoff as his magnum opus.

I'm not gonna suggest anyone post Funky from day 1, that'd be absurd self abuse, but laughing(at the author) over a few greatest hits strips or storylines might be a good idea. I don't think I've ever seen Lisa's Story as it happened.

If you really started Funky from Day 1, you'd have a couple decades of perfectly ordinary gag-a-day strips before any of the latter-day Batiuk weirdness sets in.

As advertised, we'll do a time skip. This is the first time we see cars and those seem pretty modern for a 1953 comic, so we're probably past the second world war. I'm still unsure if the original strips were happening between the wars or earlier.

Incidentally it turns out every The Girls I've ever posted is a rerun(even at the time, I mean), because the strip ended in 1977 and I didn't start posting anything from these paper scans until 78.


A lot of it is unfortunately evergreen though. (which is probably why it reruns so well)
