I feel like that's an artifact of the era where people genuinely believed you needed foods like pork to spend five minutes at boiling temperature in order to make sure you didn't get hyper-salmonella. I remember my dad cooking instant noodles -- which says three minutes on the package -- for ten for that kind of reason.

It's one of those fundamental laws of the universe. See also stews, casseroles, bakes... most things improve with at least a 24 hour chilled infusion time. Maybe not things with cooked citrus, tho.

Hippocrass posted:Little Nemo(May 5, 1907)Spoilered for holy gently caress! Winsor McKay had a prior comic strip called Tales of the Jungle Imps in the Cincinatti Herald, around 1903. They were basically knock-offs of Kipling's Just So Stories where animals get their characteristics. The imps would bully a creature which then turned to Felix Fiddle (a white man with a beard in a top-hat) who would fix it with a patented body-part. It features a very cute long-legged frog standing up like a cow, a hippo with big lips, and a bald eagle with dreds. It ran for a year before McKay got poached by the New York Herald.

Mutts Sally Forth  Skippy (September 24, 1935)  Peanuts (September 20, 1976)  Crankshaft  "Go on, sweetie, make sure the reckless driver in the huge death machine can't see you when you step out into the road." In the tradition of elderly drivers, last week's strips signaled for a turn it didn't take. Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  And now, let's try something else on for size. Li'l Abner, by creative master and (let's face it) world-class rear end in a top hat Al Capp. These initial strips were only seen in eight North American newspapers. By the end of his 43-year run, there would be many more. The last time I attempted this, we found out the hard way that GoComics was skipping around madly and not finishing a single story while doing it. This time, I'm going to see how far I can get before we end up fending for ourselves. (August 13-15, 1934)    Thimble Theater (April 22, 1940)  Out Our Way (November 2-4, 1942)

EasyEW posted:Crankshaft When this running gag started thirty-some-odd years ago, it was just Ed taking a sadistic glee in not stopping for kids who were clearly running for the bus, or for moms running out to deliver a forgotten lunchbox. At some point that transformed into Ed feeling it's his solemn duty to never allow a child onto his bus at all. Like this is apparently the only kid who's even trying anymore, and they have to persuade him every day to even allow it. It's not uncommon for an element of a comic strip to leave reality behind and take on a life of its own (e.g. Snoopy's alter egos, or the Forths' haunted house), but this one has just gotten so odd that it's hard to even know what to make of it anymore.

Like this is apparently the only kid who's even trying anymore, and they have to persuade him every day to even allow it. wasn't there some loving class moms were taking to match the running speed of the bus? I swear I remember some kind of course with that. Then again I only took the bus to high school, and while we had different drivers, I liked all of them because they were pretty chill. I do remember getting out of class late one day, being pissed and telling my teacher I'd miss the bus, but they didn't care. So I came out and yes, all the buses had left. I lived a few miles from school, so I started the loving trek home, and one of my old drivers saw me on the side of the busy road, remembered me, and loving stopped and had me get on the empty bus; she was done with her route and heading back to the yard. She couldn't take me right to my usual stop but she got me within a half mile of my house, and to this day I remember that kindness. Like, the poo poo Crankshaft is doing is supposed to be funny, but it's not.

I thought Crankshaft's uh, crankyshaftiness was limited to breaking that guys mailbox once a month, which works as a running gag. Actually dodging kids as a school bus driver just makes him an enormous piece of poo poo. If Batiuk were to mumble that "he's supposed to be a jerk" then good job loving that up too, you lay it on too thick with a jerk character and it's "why don't they just put down Marmaduke?"

This is basically word-for-word the answer I got when I asked an editor why an old man was being an rear end in a top hat to Dustin for no reason. The strip was like: Panel 1: Dustin is working in a bookstore and an old man comes in, Dustin says "Is there anything I can help you with?" Panel 2: The old man looks at Dustin. Panel 3: The old man says "Let's hope not", gently caress you Dustin. I asked an editor about it, and they said "yeah, but the old man is a grouch." I was ready to yell "that's not the loving joke and you know it. the joke is on Dustin, it's not on the guy making the joke but I just kind of shrugged and moved on. The point is, these people all think "guy is mean" is a joke in itself. Even the young progressive ones think that.

Vargo posted:The point is, these people all think "guy is mean" is a joke in itself. Even the young progressive ones think that. That's really a shame, though like most newspaper problems it speaks to a lack of effort or talent. The character study of the affable jackass isn't new! The jackass character suffers enormously when not framed in a proper setting and/or having supporting cast to contrast with. I could write essays on why a character like Bender in Futurama is great but Crankshaft and Dustin just shove shitheads on panel and say there's your punchline, they're enormous pieces of poo poo. Scary Gary pulls it off smoothly with Leopold, that absurdly awful little imp. He fits the world and he's the extreme acidic taste that balances out with 3+ other personalities. With Crankshaft we're just supposed to play it straight that all the normal milquetoast people around him, particularly his family, don't notice or care that grandpa is a sociopathic monster. Child endangerment? Just being obnoxious? I'm old, lol! I'm mad about Batiukverse again!

Haraiso Days Bardiche Hotel  From here on, the comic draws heavily on explicit references to Night on the Galactic Railroad, a well-loved book (with a 1985 anime adaptation) about grief and loss, which I don’t know much about, so I may be mis-stepping on some of the finer points of translation.
