Digamma-F-Wau posted:I haven't been in these threads for the past few years but here's something interesting I found (also looked the name of this up in SA's search just to check to see if it got posted before and it seemingly hasn't in these threads): The Fantastic Funnies, a tv special from 1980 (produced by the people who made the Peanuts specials) going over various popular comic strips of the time, including the very first animated appearance of Garfield; features a bunch of comics you probably wouldn't have heard of if it weren't for these threads. This swings violently back and forth between fun (some of the animated bits, the Johnny Fever sketch), meh (other animated bits), interesting (the cartoonist interviews), and extremely cringe-inducing (the songs, particularly the "four little boxes" one at the end). Thanks for posting it!

Murdstone posted:The Phantom Saving Mozz's O-face (with or without BLAM) for use as a reaction image. goatface posted:Steamboat era Mickey, now with S*P-voice. Tiggum posted:It is remarkable how quickly he slipped back into it. It really seems to be the only thing he can write. The thing is, I don't mind the Randy-voice here. Probably because this isn't supposed to be based on the century-long-established Mickey Mouse characters, he's explicitly branching off from the very start in a different direction, for humorous effect. And you know what? It works for me. If, instead, he'd been handed a normal Mickey strip to run in newspapers, this poo poo wouldn't fly, the same way it isn't flying in Popeye.

Murdstone posted:Rex Morgan MD That's the funniest panel in today's funnies. But -- and someone correct me if I'm wrong here -- Belluso has nothing to be on the run from, other than his own embarrassment at being caught plagiarizing. The whole attempted-murder thing has been dealt with, and he got off super light because he had turned over a new leaf. Buzzy never pressed charges about the kidnapping/car trunk incident. The original author was more than willing to sell the rights to the Mirakle people, the other two of whom are still happily making money with it. They might not like Rene much anymore, but legally, everyone's now in the clear. Belluso could stand up in the audience and announce his identity and no one could touch him. He might even still have a valid stake in the Mirakle company that they formed. Also: LvK posted:I don't believe the 1/6 Flash Gordon was posted: Huh, looks like yesterday's comics post didn't actually post.

Selachian posted:Closer Than We Think! 2/8/59 I'm giving this one a 95% accuracy score. Ceiling screens aren't the norm but you could arrange a projector like that, and even screencast ebooks to it if you want. The biggest ding to accuracy is from the text being shown, which says that anyone who wants to will be able to go to college with minimal financial hardship.

Murdstone posted:The Phantom I still don't understand why the prophecy got derailed (or did it?) except that Phantom kind of... decided that it did. Something to do with Kit Jr. deciding to come home at the same time as Mozz started telling the prophecy, I think? Yeah, I don't get it.

Don't say things like that, the universe has a wicked sense of humor and will grant your wish by giving you some kind of head injury.

Bizarro drat that's a fine AMC Pacer. The Family Circus  drat that's a fine hangover. Slylock Fox  Flash Gordon  FoxTrot  (It's a long-running gag in this strip that the dad is the only one who ever wants to play chess, even though he's terrible at it. There was a storyline where he got a chess computer, but it kept trouncing him even on easy mode, so he went back to bugging the family to play.)

Murdstone posted:The Phantom The more you think about it, the sketchier this entire "unknown commander" thing gets. I know it's a part of Phantom lore since way back, but spotlighting it in a storyline like this just draws attention to how hosed up it is. Murdstone posted:Rex Morgan MD I admit I'm no expert in matters legal, but I'm under the impression that once the gavel has come down and a plea deal is finalized, it's done and they can't just go back and undo it, even if it becomes obvious that they let the criminal off way too lightly. Ref: the QAnon shaman, or that Canadian serial killer lady.
