EasyEW posted:Out Our Way is the original "clip it for the refrigerator" cartoon panel. It's about cowboys, machine shop workers, turn-of-the-century small town nostalgia, sibling rivalry, high-strung mothers, and (of course) BOYZENDORGS. (J.R. Williams; July 6-7, 1928) ... plus content that seems horribly racist to us today, but was shockingly progressive for its time.

And yes, this was progressive, because the black cowboy isn't depicted any more farcically than the white cowboys. Look at that top row. Doesn't it imply that Charlie Brown was made into a snowman, and then Shermy-on-a-sled rammed into him?

Or on an asteroid, or just in outer space! But Jupiter has atmosphere! It's a gas giant! It could be argued that the whole planet is atmosphere!

Slammy posted:Feiffer (click for big) Holy poo poo it's unsettling to read an "unwanted pregnancy" strip that was produced years before Roe v. Wade. treasureplane posted:Today I'm adding Lil' Abner to my dailies. One of the most popular strips in the world during its prime, Lil' Abner focuses on the titular Lil' Abner Yokum, a hillbilly from the town of Dogpatch, and his various misadventures. As I recall, last time we tried doing a run of L'il Abner, the general decision was that it's too mean-spirited... and also, Al Capp was a rapist.

In all seriousness, if RMMD turns the "Sarah's book is hugely successful" plot into a "the mob is using Sarah's book for money laundering" plot, I'll forgive... well, not everything, but a lot. Same if Luann ends up with Pru.
