Popcom (or Popular Comics) was a magazine that ran for 145 issues, from 1936 to 1948, collecting (what else?) popular comics of the day. Given the niche and age of the magazine, scans to which I have access are sometimes a bit rough. We're currently on issue #42. I've been posting two pages at a time, but lately I've been thinking about switching to just posting the entire chunk of a particular comic's sequential pages, which could give us a range of one to six pages posted per day. Any thoughts on changing up the Popcom approach?

What is the situation in panel three? It goes nose, mustache, bottom teeth, and then top rabbit teeth coming out from below the bottom teeth?

the bus

I own the bus and the bus 2 and will, with time, post it all. It's been, uh, three years? Since it last graced the thread.

I love The Bus, but could you please white-balance or use the automatic contrast leveling on your scans before posting? Here's a comparison image of how it looks with that step applied. It may not look like a big change, but for folks with bad eyes like me, it really makes a difference.

Sure thing, this will be a chance for me to learn something at all about image editing. When I reach the bus 2 I'll try and create new, better scans also to replace the phone-camera images I uploaded last go round.

Here's the first one. How's this look to you?

the bus

It's still not so sharp as it is in my book...I might need to learn how to scan.

Looks very nice, thank you!

So is there a joke in the thread title that I'm missing about 'stripes'?

Docks is just switched to grayscale at this point in the GoComics archives, I guess.

Retail is down again.

This is probably the laziest individual comic I've ever seen. It's just an exchange by static characters. Literally, a conversation I've had multiple times before (although replace Chipotle with Papa Murphy's). The "joke" is the weakest possible premise, the art is offensively bland.

I hate to break it to you, but you live in a comic strip.
