Some Guy TT posted:Sorry Daddy Daze, I have it on better authority that you're wrong. Am I the only one who finds it embarassing that these jokes are *so* similar yet one is so clearly superior? There's no way the Daddy Daze guy didn't know about this Calvin & Hobbes strip.

muttpupdog posted:Am I the only one who finds it embarassing that these jokes are *so* similar yet one is so clearly superior? There's no way the Daddy Daze guy didn't know about this Calvin & Hobbes strip. Nope, I feel you on that. The C&H comic both plays with the concept by having Dad clearly making it up as he goes, and Calvin getting worked up as he tries to make sense of it. It allows it to escalate the joke and build up to an overall funny conversation. DD has its usual problem of the characters not really emoting and only one actually having a speaking part, which doesn't help, then doesn't have that subtle interplay of the characters. It also neither has a real punchline ("two crayons!" is not a punchline) nor does it have the overall funny conversation. It doesn't even quite hold up its own logic, like it would if Baby was convinced that the world was B&W and provided at least some funny evidence that supported the concept. Bill Waterson knew when he was beginning to make a product he couldn't be proud of any longer, and he stopped. DD should have had that recognition... well, sometime before now. I'm not sure it ever had that much of a golden age. Tauhid, on the other hand, is really finding his feet and it's wonderful to see.

Mister Olympus posted:this has to be a historical personage right? or commenting on some kind of trend. i guess people cared a lot more about poetry 110 years ago War poetry was huge during WWI, often composed both by and about young soldiers who wouldn't survive the war, and usually directly dealing with the horrors of war compared to earlier patriotic war-poetry traditions; Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon are the two big names. Presumably there were also a lot of trend-chasing dips.

Lmao at pop up Mary. I thought Gawain was going to gradually push Hume and Joan home when their frustration peaked but now Gawain is risking Aleta being mad at him.  Tiggum posted:Why is Olive's friend reacting like this? She comes back to find Olive climbing a tree. So? A panicked scream seems unwarranted. Oops! I forgot to tell a joke! Because we're about two months into Olive Oyl: Ghost Detective and only Randy remembers to tell jokes on his turn in the rotation and none of them have remembered or used the useless 4-6 side-side-side characters they brought along.

Krazy Kat(January 27, 1918) $2.62 in 1918 is $56.75 today. Slippery Elm The rectangle(Gasoline Alley)(December 1, 1918)  Noticed a new signature, C.S.B. in the 'Rubber Stamp' panel. Everything else seems to be King. Little Nemo(June 23, 1907)  This is a neat little set piece. I like the car thing. Shame about the racism. I don't think McCay is trying to be malicious, he just doesn't seem to know any better.

The goat car really is wonderful. It's such a simple joke, but it's delivered so well by his drawing. The skill he realizes the goat tyres are drawn with such realism despite getting pretty complex as the terrain goes weird.

The skill he realizes the goat tyres are drawn with such realism despite getting pretty complex as the terrain goes weird. If he had drawn the 'Imps' as normal humans, even with dark skin, it would have been so great. I really can't fathom why he just had to trot out the golliwog model, but I've also seen comic strips from the era that go full malicious racist caricature. It's really weird thinking of this design being, somehow, progressive for it's era.

Null Stress  This one wasn't easy to translate. In Norway we have the word "maule". It refers to eating slices of cheese alone, without bread. It's not something you do in polite society, but alone in deep shame while you ask yourself what lead you to this. I couldn't find a similar english word, so I used "munch".  TegneHanne
