Hi, thread, I'm celebrating my birthday and the new year in Hawaii, have a couple Hawaiian Kliban cats!

The stuffed cat is tempting, but I'm not sure I'll be able to fit it in my luggage

I'm incredibly jealous!

My random thoughts on the comics of the new year;

I'm really enjoying Archie, I think that and Casper were the comics I learned to read from. Also, return of the Bus is appreciated!
Also, Invisible Scarlet O'Neil is I think inadvertently funny.
Glad Funky is dead, can't imagine working on something for so long and just let it fizz out as terrible as it did.

I think of all the comics currently in the thread I look forward to Prince Valiant and Archie the most.

Also, don't forget Scarlet O'Neil is invulnerable; she strolled through a burning building.

I actually laughed out loud at this one!

In the 80s I found a "bound volume" collection of Archie comics at our local library and spent a few days pouring through the whole thing. None of the strips were as old as these and Jughead was pretty boring other than the whole "eat sandwiches" thing. These early strips you're sharing have really made him my favorite character!

Oh, and the only thing that really stuck out to me in the anthology was this one panel where Archie is going home in his old jalopy and there's a full moon in the background ... and it's loving enormous! Looks like something out of Majorskas mask! If I ever find it I'll share it.

Oh hey, I just saw that we're one of the suggested threads on Pragmatica's weekly announcement!

So hello there, everyone who's looking in out of curiosity! Remember newspaper comic strips? Turns out they still exist despite, you know, newspapers being kind of a dying medium. We post comic strips new and old, and discuss them and make fun of them and make humorous edits of them. Welcome!

Also, we've been doing this for at least seventeen years ...

and... that's it! Those were the adventures of Blueberry, from start to finish. I was unfortunately not able to find the adventures of young Blueberry, maybe some time in the future... but we shall see (esp re. Imgur's recent hoo-haa - I did mark some of my collections as having nudity (since they DO have nudity) so I'd have to see if they get pulled off automatically. Maybe I should uncheck 'em and see if that lets them escape instant blocking)

Thank you for sharing it!

But anyway, you may be casting your eyes over the middle strip and wondering what the hell. I did a little digging and it looks like Bob must have read this article from the May 5, 1947, Life magazine:

As with every other "lookit what those weird kids today are up to, Gertrude" article in the history of print media, it is not clear how much of this is stuff that hep kids in 1947 were actually doing and saying, and how much was made up by the author (or made up by the kids, to screw with the author).

So god damned funny; the comic was great but the background information you provided makes it 10x more so!

That's a very dramatic first panel.

I wonder if the whole business with the duplicate Floggin was to ensure there was someone benevolent to take over the orphanage once Scourer and Wort got theirs.

And, as predicted, there will be no explanation for why there's a secret prison cell under the orphanage.

I love the 40s and 50s obsession with latin america, It's so prevalent you can almost identify the year by the latin american celebrity starring. I love it!
