Posting R Ubbish edits without posting the Mighty Mark rap is almost a crime. Unfortunately, I can't find it saved on my laptop. I may have viewed it on my tablet instead in which case, crap.
Please tell me someone has it.

No way, that's our cultural heritage. I know I have it saved in like three separate places, let me start digging.

Edit: So it is. False alarm.

Sorry. I re-minimized it before it started the animation. My bad.

Uh-oh, Blackjack killed somebody. I hope he's okay after this.

He just shot the cane out of Kadaver's hand. It was Kadaver's reckless charge and Dick Tracy's dodge that threw him in the cement.

edit: whelp, beaten.

An ABC promo for the 1972 "Kid Power" show, based on "Wee Pals". If the animation style didn't tip you off, it was produced by Rankin-Bass. They farmed out the production to Topcraft in Japan, which more or less morphed into Studio Ghibli later on.

Fun fact: Connie was voiced by April Winchell, her first voice acting role. Currently she's Sylvia on "Wander Over Yonder"

Is there any chance you have a source for his "Humor in Hue" one panel strip that was showcased in that museum link?

At work, Chief Dharma gets it from his superior and his underlings. At break, his sandwich is smushed. At home, his gimbap are rolled too loosely and his wife tells him off for playing with his food. Three ways his day has been bad, and every time the reason comes down to "the middle [management] is squished [/loose]."

Also, domestic violence.

Eeyore the Donkey

I never cared much for Eeyore, I never saw the appeal.

He just wallows in his own filth most of the time.

And everyone just seems to clown on him instead of sincerely trying to help him out.

I don't get it.

He's clinically depressed, you see.

I grew up totally relating to him because I was suffering from undiagnosed clinical depression. It was great that even though he was a literal sad sack, his friends still hung out with him and didn't try to force him to "get over it". Sure they picked on him, but friends do that in moderation.

That's all there is to get.

Here's the 3rd newspaper/chapter break from Weapon Brown.

Slumberland as North Korea is a direction I did not see coming.

That said, my paperback copy of Weapon Brown got here today. No complaints; no regrets.

The trading cards are nicer than I expected and now I have a new magnet to stick on my fridge with the others (I'm sure my guests won't mind Snoop's balls).

Thanks for running a kick rear end Kickstarter.

OK smart rear end, go ahead and eat a Hershey bar, I dare you, I double-loving dare you.

I live in the US born and raised and I love chocolate.
I'm a grown-rear end woman and I drink chocolate milk (1% milk of course) at least every other day and go through about two bags of Dove a month.
Hershey's chocolate is godawful. Even a single Hershey's kiss is too much. You might as well buy Palmer.

Imagine how shattered Calvin's psyche would have been had this gone another way.

In the Weapon Brown version of this scene, it ended with a lot more dead bodies and blood.

The way these characters are drawn disturbs the hell out of me every time. That kid's head is dented the gently caress in.

I have an in-law cousin with a head like that. He was in Special Olympics as a kid.
I don't think that's what Boyce is going for.

Dilbert

This is so dumb because cultural fit absolutely is important.

We just had a very qualified manager who moved halfway across the country for the job. She lasted two weeks before she quit because she hated the culture of the company and the culture of the region (East Coast to Mid-South if you are wondering).
No, "culture fit" shouldn't replace skills but it drat well should be considered.

The current team on Dick Tracy talk about rescuing Little Orphan Annie, crossovers and clones/copycats.

One of those crossovers? Funky Winkerbean in February 2015.

The bearded lady that everyone in the strip creepily fawned over?
Sure, Chester. You just keep telling yourself that (if you were still alive).

Nah, he'll be fine when lampshade hat arrives to inject him with some late-stage broad-spectrum anti-snake jungle magic.

If he does die, I find it ironic that he was bitten while tampering with evidence. That was pretty "ends justify the means" of him.

I decided to draw something for the Wizard of Id's 50th. I used one of the old paperbacks for guide.

Nothing major. I just wanted to acknowledge them. I was a real big fan of the old strips, and consider it to be one of my favorites.

It took your drawing for me to realize the king ~~is a fink~~ is supposed to look like the king from a deck of cards.

Man is it me or does Phoebe and her Unicorn seem a bit less interesting now? Maybe it's because it's in repeats at the moment but even the months leading up to syndication it seemed like some of the cuteness had left it. I'm sure once we get out of the initial strip "opening" period, things will seem new and fresh again probably.

Same.

It feels like it's trying to find its feet again.

I've never seen ratings do that before, it just makes me curious what could have possibly gone so wrong

I think the producers wanted to end the show but the suits made them keep going. Also, they wanted to have an ending where Dexter actually suffered for what he'd done, but that was nixed as well.
