Holy butts the comic list in the OP is so much longer than I would have guessed. Happy new year everyone! It's been a tumultuous year, but I'm glad we're still going strong. Here's to another great year of the best thread on SA!  Prince Valiant is a legacy strip that began in 1937. Drawn for decades by the brilliant Hal Foster, it follows the many adventures of the titular prince of Thule and knight of the Round Table. The strip is Sundays only, so I have been posting the modern strip (by Mark Schultz and Thomas Yeates) on Sundays and classic strips otherwise, from the excellent Fantagraphics collections. If you like what you see I urge you to buy some of these collections, as they reproduce the strip in a lovely oversized format with stunning color fidelity. Foster's artwork is spectacular and these collections are probably the first time it has been given a format it deserves since first being published in papers. Vintage Valiant (Jan. 17, 1943)

Vintage Valiant (Jan. 31, 1943)  When we last saw him, Sligon had brown hair. He seems to have aged rather quickly in spite of his relaxed lifestyle.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Finlayson, a fabric manufacturer in my town, have been selling Moomin things for some time now, but they are normally quite expensive. Yesterday they were having a 60% off sale. So I am now a bit more Moomin-minded. I hope you bought enough for the whole thread.  Vintage Valiant (Feb. 28, 1943)

Kennel posted:Apparently Dustin is a member in Big Brother program. I couldn't find a first hand source, but google has some hits for that in various comments. This makes sense in terms of how he interacts with the kid, but I assume they avoid mentioning it directly because it runs against the intended theme that Dustin is some kind of worthless loser. I've always assumed they had him interact with the neighbor kid a lot to make him seem immature. Vintage Valiant (Mar. 14, 1943)

Personally I like Val's little smirk in panel four.CommonShore posted:What gets me about this incident is the hermit was surprised by Val's armour but Val was openly wearing it when he met the guy He asked Val to take it off (so as not to be "armed" in a holy place), but Val secretly kept it on under the robe.

Julet Esqu posted:Hey, Beric, you feel like a big man making little disabled kids cry? I get that he was trying to put an attainable goal in the kid's head without being obvious about it, but yeah, he could have done that in a less hostile-seeming way. Vintage Valiant (May 02, 1943)   Val's luck with boat trips has been mixed in the past, so we'll see where this goes. Medenmath fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Jan 20, 2021 |

Vintage Valiant (Jun. 13, 1943) Today's strip is noteworthy as it seems to be where Foster shifted away from the full title banner to a smaller title panel. Not long after this the title generally will be incorporated into the first panel, much like you see in the modern version of the strip.

Axa would be way better - and sexier even, since that's obviously what it's going for - if the protagonist were more competent. Vintage Valiant (Jul. 25, 1943)
