Out Our Way (December 6-7, 1929)


I really appreciate depression-era heavy machining comix. Trade offs like these ring just as true today as they did in 1929, although J.R. Williams is going to be blown away by tungsten carbide inserts.

It's been a while; why aren't Ted and Sally talking?

With Hillary away at summer camp, Sally and Ted generally promised that they'd have a fun and exciting summer together. They quickly realized that, while Ted talks a big game, he doesn't actually act on any of his ideas. Sally, on the other hand, dyed her hair and had lunch with some people, and now they are questioning the foundation of their relationship.

I don't either. Maybe it's a Zippy the Pinhead type thing. I enjoy that though. I keep expecting to enjoy Jaf but I don't think I ever do.

I think Jaf is delightfully surreal. I enjoy looking for the ways in which the artist has taken our expectations and turned them on their head by playing with gestalts or perspective. It's not a comic, per se, but a little sketch.

Can you explain it further, I don't get a single loving thing about that. Perhaps it requires some knowledge of american football?

The way American football works, the two teams are trying to push one another up and down the field. Team A scores if a player manages to carry or catch the ball on the opposite side of team B's goal line, and vice versa. Additionally, each team has a goal post behind its goal line, through which the ball can be kicked under certain circumstances.

If a team couldn't move out of the shadow of their own goalpost, that would indicate they are putting forward a very poor offensive effort. The goal line is literally a chalk line drawn on the grass, so if the team can't move out of the show of that, they're putting forward a very poor effort indeed.

e. This is missing the biggest goonsay to have ever goonsaid.

In the first comic, we're presented with a bug-eyed monster who proclaims it is the only one on this planet. A worm survives the fall (from where?) and rejoices. The bug-eyed monster destroys the worm and affirms her previous statement.

In the second comic, on side A, the pop-band Honey Come Chatka explodes the world by being too good at music. On side B, the fans of Honey Come Chatka mourn the loss of their homeworld, but rejoice at the opportunity to ride in the Space Shuttle with the members of Honey Come Chatka on their quest for a new world.

I'm interested to see how this experiment in Japanese four-panel comics goes.

This isn't really meant as a knock on this comic, but they don't use casts anymore, do they? I always see those brace things.


They absolutely still use casts. In my experience, the cast comes off after about six weeks once the bone has started to knit, and then you use the brace to keep from reinjuring yourself for a few more weeks. I don't know how different that is for small children, though.
