Okay. We need to talk. This is getting an interesting reaction in the GoComics comments, because it's common knowledge now that the V-J Day photo they're referencing here was a scene between two strangers. That means in recent years people have been looking at it while asking some very pointed questions about consent and what that means in terms of what they see in what has been considered one of the most iconic photographs of the 1940s. What this strip means, on the other hand, is simpler: call the cops, lady. Also, get a load of Ed walking past a store with a sidewalk window display of televisions, presumably with a sidewalk speaker. Something you totally see everywhere in 2024 America, and not a weird anachronism to force the joke to work. Mutts  Sally Forth  Skippy (February 4, 1936)  Peanuts, in which Chuck finally snaps. (February 25, 1977)  Rip Haywire: Ka-FUGITIVE!  Li'l Abner, in which I WAS PROMISED GORILLAS, YOU MONSTER. (December 2-4, 1935)   Thimble Theater (September 27, 1940)  Out Our Way (January 20-22, 1944)

Jesus Christ Crankshaft. IIRC the nurse in the original photograph was identified and she’s gone on record about the thing, and her take was essentially “I’ll allow it”. But yeeesh

There's probably one in every guest chamber, or more likely, each province's government probably has their own permanent set of chambers that they've been able to stock however they like.

Yvonmukluk posted:Bad Machinery God, I love Orange Triangles. I can't keep 'em in the house. "Lynx Africa" is known as "Axe Kilo" on this side of the pond. I am completely unfamiliar with it, because the Axe brand was introduced Stateside just after I graduated high school. I spent four years being overwhelmed by classmates doused in relatively good colognes, I am grateful that I missed the era of kids blasting themselves with cheap stuff on a daily basis. (I still have my bottle of Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger from that era in my closet, with like a third of it left. I used it very judiciously.) I can add Bad Machinery to my lineup in your absence.

My brother has a story about a car like that, wish I could remember the model. Back in college someone walked into his common area and asked for help changing the battery. They figured it was just someone learning how their car worked, no shame in that, but it turned out the thing was clamped into the car in such a way that you needed someone underneath the car at the same time to remove the clamps. Third-hand and decades ago so I'm fuzzy on the details, but I think the clamp was bolted in place without seatings so it would just spin if you tried to unscrew from one end? One of those "I can see how someone got here, but they never tried to use it" problems.

Julet Esqu posted:Luann It's funny that you post Luann and Gil Thorp, because this is the most Thorp a Luann strip has ever been, and I'm actually interested in Piro's story. Luann can tell a clearer narrative, but Thorp tells a more engaging story, even when that story appears to feature a high school sporting event told in 5 second scenes filmed 20 minutes apart.

I refuse to read "The Phantom" until Blevins is removed as artist. His work is horrendous to look at, and tonally at odds with what the strip does. Not that it looks like I'm missing anything, based on the comments. Modesty Blaise: The Gallows Bird
