Aardmania posted:9 Chickweed Lane So, right now it's reruns with some new material added? Because he's a lazy sack of poo poo? And his added stuff is cutting into the reruns making it even more confusing? Who the gently caress are the guys in the first two panels? What do they have to do with anything? I don't remember them before, were their reruns skipped over? gently caress you, Brooke.

Aardmania posted:9 Chickweed Lane His shirt hanging off his shoulder is pissing me off. It looks loving stupid (especially with the stupid loving red smears that are supposed to be his blood). Edit: Also, what the gently caress is going on? He told a medic to ignore him so he could stagger off, bleeding profusely, to pester some lady at her home? Is she living right on the beaches of Normandy? Did he wander miles behind enemy lines to find some place populated? Is he even in Europe still? catlord fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Jan 12, 2014 |

RandomPauI posted:Edit: I have a 9CL question. What's more likely: that the GI will have actually survived the war and he'll get reintroduced to the comic as an old man starting a love triangle between centenarians OR that the GI will get sent to a concentration camp? I think he's what's her name's father, except he's not actual her father because Grandma hosed/fell in love with a Nazi. But I think he raised her, but was a bitter person because he knew she wasn't his daughter? I think. I don't know, I think last thread or tow threads ago somebody started posting this storyline, but stopped at some point (because it was terrible the first time, it was terrible when it was being reposted, and it's still terrible know in these reruns).

So, my grandma used to live in Colorado back in the '70's. When she was there, there was a comic that she read in the newspaper, The Great Atomic Aftermath and Fresh Fruit Festival. It was by James Schumeister. She spent years trying to remember it, she once had all or almost all of them saved, cut out from the newspaper, but my grandad threw it out at some point. Today she did a quick search and saw a couple links, and found some prints on eBay, but I think it'd be nice to find a good collection of them for her. She lived in the Denver area, does anybody have a collection, or any idea how to find them? Also, drat, Prince Valiant is awesome.

Humanoid Female posted:I looked this up and it doesn't seem to have been a local Colorado comic - a few links I found said it was syndicated through the Los Angeles Times so it probably appeared in a lot of newspapers. I couldn't find any reference to there ever being a collection published. The best you might be able to do, apart from those few random prints on eBay, is to nail down a specific newspaper it appeared in, and go to a library that has back issues of that newspaper on microfilm (I know the Denver Public Library has every issue of the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News, so I assume other major libraries might do the same for their city's main newspapers) and print out a bunch yourself. What would be a good way to find where it was published? My grandma can't remember what newspaper it was in, but she's certain it was a smaller paper, she was thinking a college paper.

sweetguts posted:retail and dustin both exist in this weird symbiotic relationship of awful human beings. on the one hand, if all shoppers were half as annoying as they are in dustin, the shittiness of the employees in retail would be somewhat excusable. on the other, if employees in the real world were as smug and patronizing as they are in retail, the whining in dustin would be justified. Didn't Ed show up in Retail?

Aardmania posted:9 Chickweed Lane Wait, what? What the gently caress? So the Nazi was an American spy? And the lady is a Nazi spy? And this is all running parallel to the 'Grandma fucks a Nazi' story still, right? The guy who thinks he's in a movie with legs is the other guy who wants to gently caress Grandma and will be pissed she hosed the Nazi later? And this all started with a grave marker in France that had this guy's name on it, despite that fact that he's still alive? Wait, didn't he storm the beaches and go missing? How did he end up this far into enemy territory? Argh, this comic.

RandomFerret posted:You're right, he should have said 'Jupiter.' Val would have been a sub-Roman Celt, and as such would have followed Druid rituals while paying lip service to Roman gods. I dunno, Thule is generally associated with the far north, Scandinavia and the like. Didn't the first couple strips indicate that Val's father came to the British Isles from across the sea?

Not a clue if it actually fits the character, though. There is no loving way a reference to Ego the Living Planet fits any character. Maybe that biker comic store owner, but nobody else. gently caress off Batiuk, don't you drag Ego the Living Planet into this poo poo.
