Vintage Valiant (Feb. 03, 1963) It wasn't until that fourth panel that I realized how absurdly spacious the cabin room is.

That Garfield is messing with me in a big way, like is it supposed to point out that Garfield does live in comic strip world, because in comic strip world it's also possible that cats talk, even though Garfield the cat very pointedly does not talk in Garfield the comic strip? or did they do a mixup at Paws Inc that is on par with coloring Garfield green and just aren't doing any basic quality control on their output

And I can't even tell where his mouth is. Is it the downward arrow under his eyes and that ugly blob is supposed to be an unfortunate beard? Or is that weird blob supposed to be his mouth and this guy just doesn't have a chin or jawline?

I remember the BUT NOW... WOW! guy being unable to hide his incredible boner for strong, independent women but it was the 60s so he'd draw a kickass lady harpooning a shark and say "gee isn't that crazy fellas, them dames want it all, what a shame it'd be!" Beginning to think Scarlet's author is in the same boat. There sure are a lot of big women up to no good in this universe! On the shorter side of things I'm happy that Aleta kicked that guy's rear end about four times.

Not that I can turn up in a bit of digging. I did learn that there are two versions of the original cartoon on the internet. This one:  and this one, that changes the cartoonist head model, enlarges the text balloon, adds a cafe name, and removes some floor detritus and the frame:  I don't know why the second one exists, or if it was a modification done by Kliban himself, but I would cynically guess it has to do with someone removing the artist signature because they're a content thief.

I wonder if "Glynn's Cafe" is a reference to John Glynn, who used to be president of Andrews McMeel (owner of Gocomics) and is now at King Features (Comics Kingdom). I also turned up a modified version by Nina Paley, which I won't bother posting because Nina Paley is a TERF so screw her.

Some years later, Japanese film studio Nikkatsu would release "Gappa, the Triphibian Monster", a kaiju film where the titular monster(s) can both fly and swim (and of course walk around on land.)

Continuing my slow march to the present day of the thread and just hit upon the edit discussion. I can only remember ever doing one edit...five years ago, apparently. Although the point it's making is, I think many will agree, fairly evergreen.

Out Our Way mom just has a whole bottle of speed in the cupboard, doesn't she?

I don't follow this Holbrook stuff and honestly shouldn't even be occasionally reading it whenever it's posted here, but The hell is up with Slick McGee here going as far as never ditching the backwards cap and sunglasses even when sleeping in a loving bed? What deep lore do these items hold for him that he will wear them even in the shower and on his wedding day?

The difference between Dr Sawa and Dr T is so funny I like that even though he started trying to go to bat for Dr T he still wound up doing the surgery in his place after his sad boy retreat
