Selachian posted:Invisible Scarlet O'Neil 6/10-12/40 I'm absolutely entranced by the character designs and storylines already in this strip. And what's more American than a baseball player trying to earn enough money for a life-saving operation for his dear old mother? Eager to see how many down to earth problems can be solved by a 20-something who can turn invisible.

Invisible Scarlet is becoming my favorite comic in this thread, I don't know how I didn't predict "plane crashes into daycare, dooming children to horrific death". At first I was worried the author was burning through plot points too fast but I changed my mind, keep going. loving incredible.

Some Guy TT posted:It's always extremely funny when some ancient thread lore pops up that I don't even slightly remember only to see that oh right that's because it predates my forums registration. Yeah in a vacuum I wouldn't mind the new Popeye strips, but the characters aren't really Popeye characters anymore to me. I don't want emotional depth from any of them! It's funny that Thimble Theater Wimpy dumped a mermaid fiancee because she doesn't like onions and it's weird when modern Bluto is a doting uncle to his niece. I'll be an old crank about this forever.

Missing a strip? Also this is a convoluted plan even for Scarlet O'Neil. You're a crime boss, you want to steal the money of a charity football game. So you get a dozen or so of your most loyal roughnecks to swap places with one of the teams and the referees all so you can pound the other team into the dirt and then take the money when you win.

Doomykins posted:How times change with cultural drift. This entire initiation story in Archie was supposed to be a good old boys hazing from the glory days of college antics and what not but it reads as powerfully horny these days. Or maybe those days too. Oh good it's not just me. The strip that started with "Archie won't sit down for a week after Reggie initiates him!" took the wind out of me.

Isn't that a pretty common point of discussion in American media from the time involving giant apes? Certainly it's been talked about with the first King Kong film. Is the ape just a big giant ape? Is it an allegory? An unconscious reflection of the creative team's views who were steeped in the white supremacy and racist eugenics of the day? It's hard to separate sometimes. Hell, real live humans were still found in exhibitions, circuses, and the like well into the 20th century. All this to say, yeah it pinged something on my radar, too.

Yeah there was a strip when she called something spider pie and he ate it with gusto. Or one where he has a tantrum about eating something new and he manages to get over it when his mom tells him it's hamburger casserole.
