Fingerpori Finnish doesn't have articles, so in the original Finnish the guy's given name was just "Meadowhill" (or, naturally "Niittykumpu", "Niitty" = meadow, "kumpu" = mound/hillock etc) which I replaced with "Forrest" since it probably conveys the joke better. But luckily as hokey comedians through the ages have discovered, A can be both an article and an abbreviated first name!

Murdstone posted:Apartment 3-G For weeks now, whenever I focus on A3G, it's just been this lady lounging around panels, getting drunk. I'm mostly surprised at the lack of the narrative pace - nobody's really condemning her, and she's not rapidly spiralling to rock bottom. They just couldn't get enough of her, not doing much in particular.

Weembles posted:I knew this would happen the moment I saw that she was drawn to be pretty instead of a morlock like the other hillbillies. Brenda Starr can be kind of hard to follow even if you do more than skim it once in awhile but I thought there was heavy hinting that the girl there was kidnapped earlier by the janitor couple? Maybe the wording is weird but ma shows up with a random 4-8 year old kid and they just think "Oh, again?" and get to raising him. Not a lot of sympathy for the people who found a lost child, dodged contacting anybody about finding where he belongs, sneaking him away to keep and threatening to beat my possible earlier kidnapping victim if she doesn't get the grits on the table fast enough.     Looks like the couple was going to ransom Guy and they kept Weegee because a slave is convenient?

(Just my impression; I might have missed something.) Also I have to admit that I always scrolled right past Apartment 3-G until this lady showed up. I just... find her very attractive??  I like her cool hairstyle and outfits, and her gregarious messy drunken lonely married bullshit. I don't know what that says about me*, but keep on loungin', my beautiful queenly trainwreck.* I have a pretty good idea of some things it might say about me.

Chicken Parmigiana posted:I think the idea is that she has a secret drinking problem — no-one's cottoned on yet. (Just my impression; I might have missed something.) She's a neglected housewife - her salesman husband is always traveling - and she's subsequently developed a drinking problem seemingly out of boredom. She passes the time with a drink, passes out, wakes up, hair of the dog; trapped in a vicious cycle. (I was going to say that she wasn't even aware that she had a problem, but she told her husband she felt lousy from "the flu" and a few days ago she was worried that the neighbors saw that the only thing in her fridge was the half-drunk bottle of vodka. She knows what she's doing.) And yeah, she's fine as hell. That 70's bob is working overtime.

Okay, I left you hanging on Mutts long enough. Sally Forth  Skippy (November 16, 1935)  Peanuts (November 23, 1976)  Crankshaft  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  Li'l Abner, in which the chase is on. And off again. (February 25-27, 1935)    Thimble Theater (June 25, 1940)  Meanwhile, the Olive side of Olive & Popeye looks like they actually found a story. A shame that it doesn't look like Olive's going to be in it.  Out Our Way (May 13-15, 1943; spoiler for The Usual Reasons)

people give Randy crap about his Popeye and yeah, some of it is justified, but I have no loving clue who anyone is other than Olive in the artist's comic today. They all look like variations of Steven Universe gem ladies. Sally, WHY DID YOU MAKE YOUR MOTHER COME? WHY. SHE DIDN'T WANT TO.
