Mutts Sally Forth  Skippy (January 23, 1936)  Peanuts (February 11, 1977)  Cranky Shafterbean  To be fair, that was literally the point of that storyline. But to be a comic strip thread reader, I have almost no faith that TomBat realizes that. Rip Haywire  Li'l Abner (October 21-23, 1935)   Thimble Theater (September 13, 1940)  Out Our Way (December 16-18, 1943)

Alley Oop was in ancient repeats when I was a tadpole. That was the Anchorage Daily News. I always got the impression it was from an era where if you dunked in a basketball game the other team would straight up murder you.

These Crankshaft complaints about comics feel outdated even by the strip's usual standards. Grim and violent stories were a fad in the 1990s, and it's always been rare for superheroes to die and stay dead. When they trotted out the Death of Superman as a media event in 1992 it got some mainstream attention, but no one seriously thought Superman was gone for good. You know, a common criticism of superhero comics these days is that it's hard for new readers to jump into them, so perhaps a Crankshaft strip will mention that at some point in 2057.

Hostile V posted:The Rabbit Ethnostate Continues To Have Problems In Both Concept And Execution riderchop posted:On The Fastrack Holbrook has a ton of annoying characters, but no one else emits sheer  energy like Lindesfarne/Dethany/DNA Wizard. Which makes sense, given the three are basically the same character. They've got this insufferable air of self-satisfied humblebragging about how they're so much better than anyone else. And they don't even need a Winkerbean Smirk to pull it off.Murdstone posted:Mary Worth Everyone already covered how invasive this is, but one thing that bugs me is how he only wanted to do a DNA test when Sonia showed she's not giving up on being a leftist. He's been treating his own daughter as a prize to be won all this time, but now that he sees she's still not behaving just how he wants her to, he starts doubting she's his kid? Total douchebag behavior. Vargo posted:Wallace the Brave Vargo posted:Wallace the Brave This imaginary friends arc has been an absolute delight. Seeing these sendoffs side-by-side, with Wallace and Carl parting in a very  way, enhances the punchline of the arc: Which is that Spud being messed with by Gary was entirely self-inflicted due to Spud being Spud lmao.Kid Fenris posted:These Crankshaft complaints about comics feel outdated even by the strip's usual standards.

When they trotted out the Death of Superman as a media event in 1992 it got some mainstream attention, but no one seriously thought Superman was gone for good. That's because Batiuk doesn't give a poo poo about comics even from back in the 90s; he considers that to era to still be something The Youths are into, and you know how much this comic despises anyone under the age of 40. He has a hard-on for singing praises about the golden age of comics, yet his love* for it comes across as very superficial if you look at his ideas for what makes a good golden age throwback. * - There was a strip where Mopey Pete and Boy Lisa were fawning over a #1 mint edition of a Superman comic, and Batiuk couldn't even spell Joe Shuster's last name right. Like, come on, how can you even get a basic detail wrong?

Looking forward to Keith learning that his daughter isn't his and having to think seriously, for even a second, about abandoning the love of an old flame and adoptive daughter to go back to nobly dying completely alone. And then 50/50 odds the rock brained idiot does it. I don't usually read Foob but I admit this is an entertaining bit of idiot's(the character, not the author) drama. "gee whiz it's so hard to do the right thing at a loss of personal gain." Suck it up, champ! Mark Trail "Horses are an invasive species and that bothers Mark" strip count: 8+.

Scary Go Round (May 12-16, 2005)  You didn't really think there would be a normal Beckwith, did you?  This little mini-arc with Nat gets tacked onto the end of the Election arc in the eBooks, since it's not really long enough to be its own arc, but it's an important bit that comes up a few times in the future.

I realize that marching band week was last week on Crankshaft, but I had a couple of thoughts on it. All the focus is on Marching Band only, instead of also including Concert Band (Orchestra minus strings) which could share instruments, players and the director with marching band. Actually, thinking a bit further, I never remember any strips about the marching band without the focus being on fundraising for the uniforms, or that drat convention they were just at. That convention actually annoys me a bit too. It looks like it's for the Ohio Music Educators Association, but there, Mr. Marching Band only directly being a loose dipshit hawking his book. The Texas Music Educator's Association had their conference recently and it's mostly instrument, uniform, and repertoire sellers both on the distributor and retailer level. There are a some outliers, like some of the the bands for four of the branches of the US military.

Now you make me wonder if the Dinkles Band Shoe people were there. Yes. The band director from Funky Crankshaft has his own line of marching band shoes.
