Pogo 8/6-8/51 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqti-G28egc   "Boxing the compass" means going in a 360-degree circle through all the points of the compass. For Stephen Foster and the Swanee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lc8V4Vyc5iA It took me way too long to realize "huckleberry finish" was just a reference to Huckleberry Finn and the raft. I haven't been able to find any Ecunfinocan Indian tribe, but the name is probably related to the Okeefenokee Swamp, where the Swanee originates (and where Pogo and company live). Archie 6/3-5/48  Another stop on the Bob Montana Recycles Ancient Jokes tour.   Bonus Comic! It's been noted before, but it's still amazing how different Mort Walker's art became over the years. Beetle Bailey 8/7/51

We Are Reproducing This is maybe a point that hasn’t aged well over 30 years, partly for fat shaming and partly because the thing (or at least a thing) today is to celebrate your stretch marks, but in ’93 Japan it was probably pretty daring to suggest that a mother might want to think about staying sexy after giving birth.

goatface posted:Ox is generally shown as being friendly and sociable. I'm not sure why she wouldn't just talk to him about idle gossip considering he works with a number of her friends and family. She doesn't want to talk about idle gossip. She wants dramatic bullshit she can siphon off of for her stupid-rear end """writing""", because she herself has all the personality of a sponge still in shrinkwrap.

Resident Idiot posted:GoComics comment section is having a normal one: Meanwhile 9 Chickweed Lane (which I am still not posting itt anymore, and presumably you do so at your own risk) is doing a perfectly normal and socially acceptable weeklong storyline involving a father of twin toddlers using storytime to teach said twin toddlers to sexualize and objectify their mother for entertainment. But the meatheads have spoken. The bigger sin is that drag performers exist.  Our Boarding House (September 11-13, 1924)    Toonerville Trolley (November 17-19, 1921)   THE POWERFUL KATRINKA: Katrinka is so tremendously strong that the difference in weight between just the top fo the garbage can and the whole thing would make very little impression.

People are probably sick of me posting this stuff, but in Breaking Cat News today was Elvis' 15th Birthday! Georgia Dunn posted:Happy birthday to my best boy, Elvis!! ❤️ Elvis is 15 years old today! 🙏🏻❤️ He is still spry and strong, with good energy and all the determination and grit of a very grumpy Siamese cat lol. I love him to pieces and hope and pray he lives at least another 15 years! 😅 So grateful for every day with this special boy! Here's a pick of baby Elvis, there are more at the BCN Instagram link.

Tiggum posted:That's the problem. You can't just give kids money (not least because you don't have unlimited money yourself) but you can't blame them for wanting it, and it's impossible to justify a system in which they are expected to have money but given no way to acquire money. Advertisers market to children as a way to get their parents' money, but to kids it just looks like a constant barrage of "here's a cool thing that you can't have". Caveat: I have no children and probably never will, so feel free to ignore my opinion I guess, but this is why you SHOULD give your kids money, typically as a regular allowance that simulates getting a paycheck. They can spend it to get that sweet sweet dopamine, but more importantly, if they want anything significant they have to learn to save and budget. It's the parents' job to help their kids learn that stuff - you don't just get born as a Goldie with good financial sense. If they want to blow their savings on something they'll regret buying, you can warn them about it, but you should let them do it so they get to experience the consequences and learn that lesson when they're ten instead of eighteen and armed with their first credit card or whatever. Resident Idiot posted:GoComics comment section is having a normal one: There's nothing at all sexual about someone in a silly costume reading a book. To borrow their phrasing, it's "great" to see all the bigots expose themselves by flipping their poo poo and insisting anyone anywhere in the greater LGBTQ+etc sphere who interacts with kids in any way must be a predator.

riderchop posted:For Better or For Worse Knowing what we do now, this strikes me less as 'parents assuming some rando is their kid's boyfriend' and more 'Lynn laying the groundwork for the worst choice ever in the comic.' None of the preceding strips show what Anthony's personality is even like; it was all focused on how the toddler acted as an authorial mouthpiece and assumed Elizabeth and Anthony were going to make out. I've never seen how the Anthony thing played out and I'm already dreading it if it's this hamfisted. riderchop posted:On The Fastrack I hate every thing about these two strips. Medenmath posted:This was already said, but like, isn't her insisting she's this guy's daughter the more pressing issue here? Yeah, I dunno what the gently caress the writer's doing. This woman's the one who demanded they get a drink first while in somebody's home. She waited until the ex-cop mentioned his favorite drink before declaring it as her favorite, too. She brought up someone this guy knew from his past but didn't bring up photos or anything to validate it. All signs point to this being a scam! The swerve to her talking about sticking it to the man serves no purpose, and it makes her look like a giant moron for sabotaging her own grift's chances of getting accepted by the guy.

Assuming it's not meant to be a scam and that's just a (likely accidental) red herring on the writer's part... What's weird to me is that going by the dialogue, this girl doesn't even know what her dad did for a living yet. But going by the artwork, it's as if she does know, because she's been shouting and using aggressive, accusatory body language right from the start. I feel like maybe the artist has misunderstood the tone and intent of the writing...? But on the other hand, why am I giving the writing the benefit of the doubt, daddy-o? (As for whoever does the lettering, I only hope they get the professional help they need.)

Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one: the Mary Worth author believes in the sanctity of police/military forces protecting society and this Young Person is comically worked up and unreasonable.

As absolutely on target as you are about the commercialized world's mercenary nature when it comes to the weakest targets, it's an interesting direction to take a "moms' night out sharing of experiences" strip. Still, you're getting me one step closer to that Lefty reboot someone suggested a few threads ago, so something interesting might come from that. So feeling this one right now.
