Amazing. Kinda reminds me of the "Nine Lives of Garfield" or whatever book I had as a kid. There was some weird poo poo in there.

I remember being in a doctor's office back in the 90's and they were playing the cartoon version of the Garfield Noir adaptation and I was very, very confused as to why there were no jokes or funny things on screen.

I figured the dome city didn't have any sex ed because beep boop we decant all our babies. Anyway this is why Axa is so horny and can't distinguish lust from love, she's essentially got a new libido and has never actually seen a healthy relationship.

All of his restraint and plot was spent on Modesty.

I've got to confess. I know we're not supposed to touch the poop, but after the training bra week I sent an email to GoComics asking that exact question.

Never got a response.

Are we even sure it's still in papers?

The most consistently annoying thing about this strip for me is how incredibly mainstream this supposed super nerd's interests are. Blockbuster movies and popular TV shows. What a freak. :what:

The rally-'round-the-flag effect in WWI was psychotic. Although there was a rather uncomfortable comic after one of Jack Johnson's big fights, so...

Yeah but he's a German so he's obviously doing it for unpatriotic reasons and not because of perishability.

Richard's Poor Almanac



Back in college I would count espresso shots like they were descending levels of DEFCON- a three shot coffee was a Confidence Is High, a four shot was a Cuban Missile Crisis, and a five shot was a Global Thermonuclear War.

I never ordered a five-shot.

The New Orleans paper did publish a Fontaine Fox panel on February 5th, but in the interest of full disclosure, it's another Col. Henry Clay Medders cartoon. His gimmick was a bad enough combination of themes the last time I pulled the shades down on him, but this go-round was extra enough that I'm not going to touch it with a 104 year-long pole.

Out of grim curiosity, what was it about?

I'm glad to see the artist got enough criticism or self-awareness to stop drawing teenagers as horrible old goblin people.

Even circa 1951 working dogs were still a thing. Heck, decades later than that, as Footrot Flats can attest. Which makes this particular bit of Those Were the Days nonsense nostalgia particularly bizarre.

Dog shows were probably just being popularized or the cartoonist just wanted to whine about them.

While I love Hal Foster's work, I'm not entirely convinced that in the early middle ages, there were dudes sat around in war machine shops like in an rpg, just waiting for knights to wander in and place an order.

Well he got crossbows right (I didn't know they were a thing as far back as the 11th century) so maybe?

If I had to pick 3 strips that I need this thread for, it'd be Prince Valiant, old and new, Surgeon's Tales (Where the hell else am I going to find both a translation of that and someone explaining the missing stuff from a book that I'm not even sure is in English?), and a grab bag of Addams, Richard's Poor Almanac, Nekonaughey, etc.

All right I know that everyone else has already decided that Everett True is bad now for much better reasons but I am truly outraged that at some point he transitioned from being an opponent of tipping culture to an enforcer of it.

My least favorite comics are the ones that generate the longest walls of text to scroll past to something interesting. The closest thing to a "hate read" is Those Were The Days, which I find more interesting as a "More things change" case study.

Mämmilä (May 17, 1991)




"I don't want to become my dad's mouthpiece" Ya look old enough to be his loving wife! The hideous ghoul teens becoming central members of the cast made me stop reading Mämmilä, plus the soap opera aspect is kind of robbing the story of a lot of likeability. It's realistic that everyone's flawed to one degree or another but it's not really fun to read, it's just kind of plodding soap opera misery.
