At this point, I'm just rooting for the course of action that gets the Phantom thoroughly owned and considered an embarrassment by his ancestors, just because he's handling this prophecy business in the stupidest way possible.

I feel like mary worth usually tries to give her the benefit of the doubt as interfering in her neighbors lives as a good faith effort but this latest arc is really painting her as a meddling gossip. it's cracking me up

Malachite_Dragon posted:Its less trying to dodge a Savarna line and more trying to dodge the line ending entirely; The current one would be dead, even after pumping babbies into her, and the ring et al would be in the hands of Kit after his guerilla fighters killed his dad, and you know drat well he would not be giving them back. Yeah I forgot that part with Kit getting the ring. This loving plotline.

It basically makes Mary Rod Serling or the Cyptkeeper in her own strip.

Rhymes with Orange Get Fuzzy 11/22/03 Brenda Starr 2/17/52 I have to admit, I like watching Liz so confidently embark on her idiotic plan that's already fallen apart and she doesn't know it. Smokey Stover 3/2/58 Everyday Movies 12/28/36 "There's just one thing I don't like about Santa Claus, he gives such nicer presents to the rich children." Invisible Scarlet O'Neil 8/16/42 Spoilered for wartime ethnic slur. For those who don't want to look: Scarlet persuades the crooked mayor to loan the Walks $500 to pay off their mortgage, with their land as collateral -- the mayor figures he can grab the land for himself before Wormly gets it. Closer Than We Think! 3/2/58 No one show this to Elon Musk ... although the transatlantic railgun is an interesting idea. As far as I can find, Karl Aleksandrovich Gilzin was a Russian science writer whose works were widely translated. Bonus Comic! I noticed this one because of the lower left panel -- you don't see many strips doing gags about cops beating a suspect these days. And it's even funny!

Hippocrass posted:Wish they could have shown us all this backstory in the previous several months instead of loving off and relegating it to a paragraph in a splash page. Like, Flash Gordon reboot could get away with that because it was recapping an already vaguely familiar story. Even people who never read the strip or saw the movie likely have SOME idea of the story. Kazinsal posted:IIRC the Weapon Brown guy was also the guy who drew a comic strip about a sexually abused kindergartener. Weapon Brown I get. I liked Weapon Brown. It was fun to catch all the references and see the familiar characters in in a post-apocalyptic setting. But Clarissa?

Early Wonder Woman was absurdly blatant by comparison. Foster has tipped the hand too many times in two months though. What really gets me today is the communal "oh well, lol" everybody had for Hugo getting shanked and his own family and castle practically having a festival for his funeral.

SO... I was looking for an excuse to give Mutt and Jeff a rest for awhile, and the holiday season loans me the perfect excuse. Beginning in 1936 (at least), Newspaper Enterprise Associates offered an annual Christmas miniseries for its client newspapers, and for the first decade many of them were written by NEA journeyman Hal Cochran. One title leapt at me, though: Santa's VIctory Christmas, the Christmas 1942 offering. Does that title set up more expectations than a Santa Claus adventure could ever possibly deliver? Of course! But apart from Cochran, we have art from Leo Nowalk, who ghosted on Superman for the Siegel-Shuster shop. So hang up the holly and get out your ration books, because it's time for your wartime allotment of holiday sugar...with a message for the home front eventually, I'm sure. (November 23, 1942) Mutts Sally Forth Skippy (November 19, 1935) Peanuts (November 25, 1976) Crankshaft presents a mutant hybrid thing. But enough about Ed, let's look at the bird. Li'l Abner (March 4-6, 1935; spoilers for another day of "it's a culture, not a costume".) Thimble Theater (June 27, 1940) Olive & Popeye Out Our Way (May 17-19, 1943)
