Mr. Boop is probably on the low end of offensive comics that's been posted in these threads. It'll run it's course soon enough, and be gone., until then, just scroll past it. There are a bunch of strips that I don't read here.

I would say that it takes a special kind of heart to put out a good Addams movie. Like, you can go by the numbers and have a quirky goth movie but,.....wouldn't be Great. .....It's been many years since I've watched Addams 1+2. Maybe I should change that.

In the world of "Kevin+Kell" wouldn't " Been reading about [Animal] Courtship" just mean you've been reading erotic stories? Or would it be more like using National Geographics to scope out some topless tribal ladies? Like, those old " Letters to Penthouse" " Dear Penthouse, I never thought it could happen to me, but..."

maltesh posted:So I only really started paying attention to Safe Havens halfway through the Mars Trip. I was vaguely aware of the various types of DNA magic going on, and assumed that all that was just one-offs to generate the various main characters, and the public face of the genetics lab was mostly normal. Oh, you sweet, summer child. Everything is DNA magic. The big ear guy? Was a mouse. The Blonde was ....a.....cat? whose parents was a dog and a..... gently caress, I don't remember now. The Black/white cat was a human lady for a while, but decided to go back to being a cat. Someone's child is a Plant/human combo, and is green. There are also Mermaids on Earth (who turned out to be the descendants of shape shifters from Mars.)

As a cultural icon, and the time/place of Calvin And Hobbes, it's an important strip. However, having said that, Wallace the Brave, as an actual comic, is better than C+H ever was

Les is the best character in Luann. There is no argument. I don't care all that much for Bets, but wouldn't call her a "Bad Character". Just seems like one of those Type-A Extroverts , which often says and does thing without really considering whether other people would even want to. " Of course Gunther wants to spend all evening sewing this poo poo up!"

There already exists hundred of slang words for various parts of the body, you think kids wouldn't find some of them hilarious, or come up with their own?

CommonShore posted:It's one of the saddest things I've ever seen Thel is, vaguely, aware that the children should be grown, and she should be old. That this 1950s landscape has existed for far longer than it has any right to. " Is this hell?" she wonders, " Am I dead and cursed to live this unchanging existence?" The thoughts are slippery, though, and can never hold onto them for long. Thel picks up the basketball, tosses it in the basket and goes inside to start dinner. It's meatloaf night. again.

I started thinking " Goddamnit Tinkersons, if you are gonna do something, DO SOMETHING!" as the "Serial Killer" thing , while it had a few good gags, didnt really go anywhere, BUT then I had a thought. Like, a strip, or show where the main characters, aren't the main characters. They run into alot of weird poo poo and situations, but only the edges of it. Not even secondary characters, but third and fourth level. You wouldn't need, or get, to see the resolution, or the whole story , only where it happens to cross the paths of Joe Somebody. and that's kind of where I am seeing the Tinkersons right now.

PetraCore posted:Yeah but to be fair Mikko is like, what, 3 years old? I guess maybe 4-5 if school is being talked about? Sari isn't much older, Mikko could have very easily picked a horrible and dangerous hiding spot. I have no idea how old he is supposed to be, I was thinking 5-6 amigolupus posted:The trunk of a car is actually a pretty dangerous place for a kid to hide. It has poor ventilation and can get to high temperatures which can result in heatstroke, especially with the comic showing us it's a sunny day. The comic's also been published in 1991, so it's not yet a standard feature for vehicles to have a glow-in-the-dark car trunk release. Depending on how long he's been hidden in there, Mikko being asleep in the trunk could be a serious warning sign. He's been in there all of 10 minutes maybe, if even that. He left Anja's yard, went over there, told whatsherface to relate the message when they came around. It hasn't been long.

In a book with a copywrite date of 1927, I found a 4 page pamphlet for a costume rental store in St. Louis. Looking over the lists, I found two entries that I recognized. Buster Brown and Happy Hooligan. Unfortunately, there are no pictures, just lines of texts. I also am not posting actual pictures of it in here, as given the time period (1920s-1930s?) there is *ahem* not quite kosher costume titles in there.  Here is the front page though.Sometimes you can't date something directly, it is both fun, and irritating to try and date something from indirect means. quote:The comic strip began in the New York Herald on May 4, 1902. Outcault left for William Randolph Hearst's employ in January 1906, and after a court battle, Outcault continued his strip, now nameless, in Hearst papers, while the Herald continued their own version of Buster Brown with other artists. The latter lasted until January 1911, and Outcault's version until May 13, 1923 I had been wondering if the pamphlet was older than the book itself. Considering It lists Buster and Happy, that sets a max age. Happy Hooligan started in 1900, and ended 1932.  21-year old dwarf actor "Master Gabriel" plays the title role of Buster Brown, with George Ali as Tige, in the 1905 Broadway production. Edit: It has a "Panhandle Pete" costume, and that guy was active in the 1930s and 40s. Johnny Aztec fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Apr 14, 2021 |

Did a quick Google on Bill Beers there. Couldn't find too much, just that he died in 1942 in that same city, so it's likely he died while still in that Asylum.

Bought a file container, at an estate auction today, that had a big pile of Underground comics from the 70s, and 80s. R. Crumb collection, and Fritz the cat collection, and some books that were collections of porn parody comics from the 30s. I flipped through and saw an Ella Cinders comic.
