I think that's definitely step 2 but this is a moderately more heroic reading of history so Val needs things to do that they can put in the funny pages

Murdstone posted:If it involves Luann, it is definitely not about sex. The creators of the strip seem weirdly split-brained about sex. On the one hand, you've got that Luann abstinence-only educational comic, and on the other hand, you've got that Bets and Gun book in which they have a standing-up gently caress in a campground shower room.

Mutts Sally Forth  Skippy (October 15, 1935)  Peanuts (October 14, 1976)  Crankshaft  I kid about Mutt and Jeff just being random strips on shuffle play, but I swear it's only been a few months since we saw this one.  Rip Haywire  Li'l Abner (October 25-27, 1934)    Thimble Theater (May 16, 1940)  Out Our Way (January 14-16, 1943)    And a one-shot(?) bonus: The Gremlins, a short-lived feature by editorial cartoonist Dorman Smith. This is kind of an odd one, because Walt Disney and RAF Flight Lieutenant Road Dahl were in the process of popularizing (and copyrighting, because Disney) the concept of the little monsters who make aircraft go haywire. For a variety of reasons, the concept never got past the printed page (some of those printed pages being illustrated by Walt Kelly), but in the meantime, everyone else was taking a crack at the concept, which (not originating from Disney or Dahl) wasn't copyrighted enough. Which brings us to...this. In Smith's non-Disney-infringing take on "sabotaging imps", they not only pop tires and bust water pipes but function as little shoulder devils who are running the show because the angel took the day off. That last angle is the one we get in this slice, which makes it feel like a Everett True riff. (January 14-16, 1943; the strip ran from January 4-May 15.)

I didn't know there was a copyright battle over the idea of Gremlins around WWII - I remember them from the 1943 Bugs Bunny short so I guess that adds another army to that battle.

She worked at Limited Too and Tilly's.

Recall all the least accountable people in a retail store staff. You know, don't really care until they get directly punished. Next have a group of staff doing a super monotonous task that go from one store to the next and anything that goes wrong is the fault of the store staff in the aspect of the business where you're nearly guaranteed to have bad news. Now I'm not saying "all merchandise count teams must be jerks" but I can certainly see how it can happen.  I see Mark Tail might be considering using the one fresh idea Jules brought to the strip after 2 years of not doing that. I'm sure she'll be very consistent and attentive here.

Is it just a running gag that this comic invented? I did inventory overnights for 5 years working at Blockbuster. There it was all internal staff (store manager, to their credit, 1 or 2 sub-managers, and 2-3 underlings), so any unaccounted items were docked against the store.

I’ve got a bit of a backlog worked up, so I’ll switch to 2 pages a day as long as I can. We Are Reproducing   Getting ahead in translating it, most of the prologue will maybe not be “interesting” to the modern reader, as it’s basically a no-nonsense, non-romanticized description of “what it’s like to have a baby,” but again that was pretty radical 30 years ago, and the chapter does spend some time specifically addressing some misconceptions and prejudices.

Not necessarily unsociable and sketchy but yeah, there's something unsettling about a team of strangers coming into your store after closing and acting like they own the place and bossing you around.

Tiggum posted:What exactly was the story here supposed to be, that warranted sending the paper's best journalist? A guy got lost in the woods. Hadn't even been lost long enough for them to have started searching yet. And what information can a journalist gather in person that Gibbs couldn't have communicated in the message requesting their presence? Today's installment finally reveals he's a "prominent playboy," and one law of journalism is that if something happens to someone famous and/or wealthy, it's automatically newsworthy.
