EasyEW posted:Thimble Theater (August 5, 1939) One of my favorite little things in old Popeye is when a character will propose or explain something that's inherently goofy and another character will just respond "yes" because it makes perfect sense in context and to them, and the fact that both lines are unpunctuated really sells how mundane and immediately understood whatever's going on is to the characters involved. I love it (and, as an additional bonus, no one sounds like a snarkily cynical Gen Xer!)

Hostile V posted:Tree loving Sucks As A Character And Idea, There I Said It. "Okay, I am now thinking of it as that, though it's unclear why [unspecified character, perhaps Tree itself] needs to explain that part to me, since I'm a herbivore myself. Followup question: why do you need this, since you two are insectivores? Second followup: why do you need a gravy faucet in your bathroom? One more: is it normal to drink your sentient house's blood?"

EndOfTheWorld posted:Cool, hopefully this is the authors admission that maybe we're not going to get any more Therapy cartoons about Popeye. That would require Milholland to still be capable of writing something other than "identically-voiced characters snarking at each other about personal problems"

Strontium posted:Legend of Bill get's spoiler'd for blood and violence "Graaaah," Bill yelled, pausing his forward charge such that his feet and hand were conveniently behind things in the foreground and twisting his axe 90 degrees so the artist didn't have to think about how to draw it edge-on. "Aaaaahhh," he continued.

Hippocrass posted:How does and insectivore manage to go several years without realizing it's an insectivore. Still gets me that Lindesfarne flies by holding onto whatshisface's wingtip, instead of any of the nearly infinite number of places that might theoretically actually work. Really abusing the static nature of the cartoon medium there buddy!!

Tiggum posted:Nah, if I put an R sound at the end of "layer" (and "swear" and "prayer") they still don't come close to rhyming. Different number of syllables, different vowel sounds. https://forvo.com/word/layer/ https://forvo.com/word/prayer/ Listen to the American accent pronunciations. In the song, Jon Bon Jovi extends the pronunciation of "there" to two syllables ("theh-hair") and flattens the Y in "prayer" to the same sort of H sound, similar to how the first American accent voice on the Forvo page pronounces it.
