Kennel posted:Dustin This must be an absolutely miserable marriage to be in. God forbid Ed have some fun and make some new friends. Not that Ed is any better to live with, mind you. Also I just learned that they are making some new Peanuts graphic novels that are releasing this month. I may post them once I can get a copy.

Vargo posted:Curt-hahahahaha what the gently caress Even without those factors prejudice would still exist because it’s the primary way class-based hierarchies are justified while also serving as a useful tool to push the naturally occurring negative outcomes of capitalism/colonialism/society in general/etc away from the upper classes and towards the “right” people. In other words, if you need to do something lovely to a large group of people it’s usually a good strategy to characterize them as fundamentally deficient in some way so that the general public doesn’t feel a need to get involved. Removing the surface level attributes used to justify these actions post-hoc would do nothing to prevent this. /soapbox

In a whacky turn of events it turns out that Ed accidentally signed up for pole *dancing* lessons. It then becomes his background hobby for the rest of the strip’s run.

It’s the confirmation that Ed’s wife is actually exchanging photos that gets me. She’s not just putting a profile out there to manipulate her husband but actively flirting with people. Absolutely insane.

Crabgrass Old School Peanuts (Feb 1, 1954)  Mood. Calvin and Hobbes (Nov 22-23, 1992)   Big Nate  Anybody interested in the new (school) Peanuts collection by artists that aren't Schultz? It's closer to a graphic novel than a strip but I think it counts. I haven't read it yet so I can't vouch for it's quality but either way I think it would be interesting to see how it compares to the classic (and 70s) stuff.

Fair point. Instead I think I’ll read it on my own and write out my thoughts once done.

Crabgrass Old School Peanuts (Feb 4, 1954)  Calvin and Hobbes (Nov 28-29, 1992)   Big Nate  Holy poo poo that's brutal, lmao. Was not expecting a punchline this good from Big Nate. Somewhat related: I watched some of the Big Nate cartoon on P+ and now that I've read enough of the strip to have a feel for what it's about I have to say I really hate some of the decisions it made. Some of them are kind of obvious like adding a bunch of unnecessary grossout humor or the presence of social commentary about underfunded schools that either goes nowhere or blatantly contradicts itself by making the teachers kind of evil but I think the thing that bugs me the most is that they changed the world a bit to make Nate essentially correct about everybody around him. One of the things I enjoy about the BN strip is that everybody is fairly neutral most of the time but because Nate is a narcissistic little poo poo they get transformed in his mind into idiots, losers or outright villains (his teacher being the best example of this) and the strip then draws humor from the gap between reality and whatever mental image Nate's spun up in his head. It's not laugh out loud funny but it can be relatable in it's own way and basically works. The show on the other hand takes these ideas about people that Nate dreams up in the strip and then makes them the reality of the show. His teacher is no longer a normal person dealing with a kid who hates her irrationally but a psychopath who actively hates her students, Francis is the loser nerd Nate thinks he is, his dad is a pathetic loser and so on. I hate it so much. I wouldn't call the Big Nate strip a masterpiece by any stretch but the show takes whatever emotional IQ the strip had and replaces it with the same kind of generic mean spirited cynicism we've seen in most media since the 90's (think Dustin but nowhere near that offensive). It's *very* frustrating because the show is well animated/acted and could have been a pretty good adaptation under different circumstances. readingatwork fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jan 21, 2023 |

Crabgrass Old School Peanuts (Feb 10, 1954)  Something I've noticed about Schultz is that he's really bad at drawing action and this is a perfect example of it. Need to draw a reaction to a surprise?
