Tiggum posted:For those who haven't been keeping up with Dick Tracy, the current team loves one thing above all else: Referencing old Dick Tracy characters. But second to that is crossovers. When Little Orphan Annie was cancelled mid-story the characters appeared in Dick Tracy to resolve it, and ever since then Annie, Warbucks, etc. have been recurring Dick Tracy characters. The Great Am was originally a Little Orphan Annie character, a mysterious immortal being who may or may not be God. The Spirit is from his own comic. You forget the most important cross-over of all: Funky Winkerbean! In his own strip, Tracy happened to trip up a bank robbery in Cancerview. In Batiuk's strip, Dick Tracy helped point out to the regular characters where some old comic books that had been police evidence were being auctioned.

Byzantine posted:I'm not sure if Feiffer's constant relevance is depressing or uplifting in a way. Feiffer's reliance on drawing the same face 6-12 times, so he can provide a monolog is pathetic. More so when you realize he really can draw interesting things when he wants.

Command Ant posted:The WSJ wrote a dishonest article about Pewdiepie trying to make a scandal out of some of his bits, which kicked off a flood of similarly dishonest clickbait articles and op-ed pieces. So what are you saying? I don't know anything about poopieguy, so are you happy he is whatever, or not so happy that whatever? Oh, and why the gently caress should I, an adult human, care about poopie?

Slammy posted:I had a dream last night that scammers were walking around dogs without tails, had a fake tail in their hand and were convincing people to give them money to help their dog whose tail had just fallen off. If they didn't give money the dog would die, they said. I saw them do this twice, once outside my childhood house, once at an outdoor mall. I confronted them at the outdoor mall, they said they had to hide because they were ex-KGB. I swear, no rarebit was involved. I can understand being cautious if your doctor is literally Trotsky.

Kavak posted:I know what it's saying about normalization and the future, but what it reads as is "Nixon hosed everyone's wives". I don't think anyone in 1974 would have thought, "Nixon hosed someone other than Pat" was plausible. Hell, "Nixon hosed Pat in the past ten years" would have been debatable.

Wow, some children of indeterminate age* waking up and going to school in some country where they drive on the left. Looks like this one's going to be quite a wild ride. *For people in whatever country this is, I guess "grammar school" is a tell as to their ages.
