Murdstone posted:Yeah I meant it as "That's a neat look at a different time" not so much in a snarky way. The strips we're currently reading originally ran in the mid-'90s. I also do not recall my mother writing a lot of letters at that time. Nor were phone calls considered prohibitively expensive.

The mother in FOOB could be referring to letters to the editor she writes and mails to newspapers each morning, detailing both her mundane household grievances and her numerous bizarre conspiracy theories.

FINGERPORI This took some doing In the original the juice bar was called "Makusi mukaan", which means "according to your taste" ("makusi" = the genetive second person form of "maku", taste" and "mukaan" = according to, but also along with, bring along etc). The truck's shadow was covering the first two letters in "makusi", and the visible part was therefore "kusi" = piss. So we have "According to your taste" or "takeaway piss".  Interestingly in Finnish the food-related euphemism for money isn't "cheese" or "cheddar", but "jam".

Malachite_Dragon posted:His mom is from our universe and turned into a rabbit in Hellverse. He was born human and not rabbit because And Danielle was murdering and eating people within a week or two of being transported to Hellworld, turning into a rabbit, and being mistaken for her dead counterpart. I think she eventually got a memory dump from her counterpart's ghost, I'm not sure. Lindesfarne is also a human who came through the portal, with the primary difference being that it happened to Lindesfarne as an infant, which is presumably part of the reason why Turvy has not spontaneously become human.

It's not a very honourable duel when one guy gets a spiked staff and the other a straight one. Hard to hang your god-given superiority on the outcome of a fight when you cheated yourself an equipment upgrade. It even seems like he knew he didn't need an advantage.

Selachian posted:Closer Than We Think! 4/30/61 I don't know, I think designing and creating clothes from scratch would still require considerable skill and effort, even if you've got a snazzy fabric glue. Like if you got some kind of futuristic power saw, you'd still need to know what the hell you're doing carpentry-wise before you could turn out beautiful custom furniture.

Powered Descent posted:I don't know, I think designing and creating clothes from scratch would still require considerable skill and effort, even if you've got a snazzy fabric glue. We're still in the era where a sewing machine was standard equipment in most homes and women were expected to be able to make and alter their (and their family's) clothes. So it's not that unusual, even if the average woman wasn't going to be competing with Coco Chanel.

Breaking Cat News   Probably crass to speculate on the artist's personal life but it is interesting that these strips come a few months after Georgia Dunn announced her divorce.  Phoebe and Her Unicorn     Wallace the Brave     Heart of the City     Come on if you're going to post a recipe strip you have to at least make a drawing of it looking like absolute garbage like how Cheap Thrills Cuisine used to.

rannum posted:Also re: WAR Husband These are more or less my belated but still relevant thoughts on him too. I find him really interesting as a character, because he definitely starts out as a useless lump not good for much except for asides, but you can see the author's opinion on him change a lot over time. Just the way he's drawn now, he looks a lot larger, a lot more assertive, and a lot more masculine. I thought the essays were really interesting context on the relationship because they give the impression that she initially saw their relationship as one of convenience, what with her being polyamorous and him being an indifferent slacker who was down for anything she asked for, including having sex in the delivery room. She didn't want to marry him because she thought this dynamic would change to a typical patriarchal relationship if she did, and also thought he'd be happier with someone more similarly whitebread to himself anyway. I definitely get the impression from how he's changed over time, though, that her perspective on this shifted. He was an indifferent slacker to her, not because he didn't really care, but precisely because he did care so much that he preferred to be hands off because that was the kind of boyfriend best suited for her personality and lifestyle. Maybe she couldn't believe that when their relationship was mainly just sex with each other, but once the son enters the mix, and he shows that exact same kind of commitment to him too...well, I'm just saying "baby in 92, married in 95" sounds pretty much exactly correct for how we've seen their relationship evolve.

Cowslips Warren posted:comics and titles are swapped! i couldn't remember when Steelfingers got a gatling gun but I was like well, Blueberry is DEAD now.  d'oy. Thanks for pointing it out.Corto Maltese     Blueberry     and... since I've promised it for a while, and I've made a backlog of it, I might as well start posting the NEXT translation project I've been working on - ANOTHER Western comic! This one is a comic from the late 60s-70s called Comanche written by Michel Régnier AKA Greg and illustrated by Hermann Huppen, AKA Hermann. I won't be updating it as regularly as Blueberry and Corto, seeing as I haven't finished the translating, maybe three times a week, we shall see. But first! I will admit straight up, this will not be a word-for-word translation, but much like my work with Blueberry, an adapted translation (some terms don't translate well one-to-one, some things are out of date), I will point out the most egregious examples and my justifications thereof, but I've been enjoying it so far, and I hope you do, too! So: Comanche
