Jughead remains the GOAT. And hahaha yea for K and K, abusing and loving with someone they know! That is illegal, and they are guilty also because that is totally against how prey animals can defend themselves! And predators like Kell can't try to kill someone they know, like Angelique! Also, lots of animals are not straight rear end vegans. My mice eat all kinds of poo poo, including veges like carrots and lettuce. Deer and horses can and do eat baby mice. If this was a recent story, I'd be tempted (no I will not touch the DNA poop) to email Holbrook and ask why he's anti-trans in regards to Angelique but if anyone calls Bruno a wolf (note, just calls, doesn't rip his fur off or try to steal his ruminant stomachs), they must be punished!

For example, many of the tales in this book omit incidences of my shutting my fingers in a door or stubbing my toe. Things like that are strictly for the connosieur, not the casual passer-by.

Hell, look at all the poo poo like the Computer Bug in On The Fast Rack which started as just a visual metaphor joke, and then became completely literal when Holbrook seemingly forgot they were a visual metaphor which wasn't really happening.

It almost endearing that Holbrook thinks very little of the worlds he sets up (and a *lot* less than we do); his focus is entirely on just how laboured a visual metaphor he can shoehorn into tomorrow's strip, and seems to have been for a quarter-century at this point

There's a short story by Isaac Asimov called "The Dead Past," where a guy invents a camera that can be used to view any scene from the past, anywhere. The people he shows it to are excited about its potential for historical research ... until one of them points out the camera can also be used to view what people were doing five minutes ago, meaning that no one will ever be assured of privacy ever again. (Looking it up, "The Dead Past" was published in 1956, so Asimov wasn't inspired by this strip.) Selachian fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Jan 24, 2024 |

Guys, maybe we look at Holbrook wrong. Maybe he's actually being held prisoner by some of his characters, like Kell and Dethany( FROM ON THE FASTRACK) or that annoying Lindesfarne/Samantha and they force him to make three strips every day, all day, if he wants a drink of water. Every night he begs for some good reader to read the HELP ME symbols he's crammed into the comics, into every other comic not to rouse suspicion.

Medenmath posted:Vintage Valiant (May 28, 1961) On a trip to the Holy Land, Val realizes that he's been promoted beyond his actual competence. He's run up against the... St. Peter Principle!  Selachian posted:Closer Than We Think! 5/17/59 The Dead Past is built around the reveal that privacy is gone forever, but the story pretty much ends there. If you want to dive into the ramifications and see what a privacy-free society might look like, a few decades Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter wrote the novel The Light of Other Days to do just that. (I remember it being pretty good but it's been something like 20 years since I read it. I should give it a revisit and see how it holds up.) Bizarro  The Family Circus  Slylock Fox  Flash Gordon

I think the conman will hoodwink Val but then get caught by his debtors/the local guards and sweat a bit before Val bails him out to save his very bad trade caravanning. He picked up the slave as a totally pragmatic thing because he just said "Yo don't rock the boat or we'll die lol" but knowing Val he'll set the guy up with a poetic freedom.

The Family Upstairs/The Dingbat Family(July 27, 1910) The strip's name changes. There is a bit of a chronology issue though. Wikipedia says that this change occurred on August 10, but I can't find the strip for August 10 on Newspapers.com. Once again, this is a strip that really isn't consistently published in any of the ppaers I have access to until the comics page becomes a thing. I'm going to continue to use the dating on my current source for the strip, which is mostly complete until 1912, but it probably isn't going to be accurate. Krazy and ignatz will be returning for good once we reach the August strips in my source. Baron Bean(January 26, 1916)  Positive Polly/Polly and Her Pals() No strip for Wenesday, December 25, 1912 Gasoline Alley(September 14, 1919)  Us Boys(November 15, 1911)  The Gumps(February 21, 1917)  Krazy Kat(November 19, 1913)
