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.

Note for late arrivals: As it was mentioned yesterday, casual comedy racism has been a thing in these panels almost from the beginning. We took a vote when I started posting OOW, and "history warts and all" won. It seems like a good rule of thumb not to Disneyfy the past if you're going to explore it, so there we are.

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?

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.

Lil' Abner (October 12, 1936)


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.
