The_Other posted:In Breaking Cat News an old friend is remembered My cat Autolycus passed away today, a nine-year-old clown prince who had baseball mitts for paws and made friends with everyone he met. He had advanced kidney disease but was a fighter; he lived three years longer than anyone thought he would. Last month before Christmas he relapsed and my wife and I turned our home into a cat hospice. His vet gave him three days and he grabbed three weeks instead, and we made those three weeks as comfortable for him as possible. He was himself right up to the end, which came mercifully quickly when it did. We love the little guy, always will, and miss him terribly, achingly, completely. I've had a very long day involving a lot of veterinary logistics and crying, and just now checked SA. Oh, Lupin.

Medenmath posted:Vintage Valiant (Jan. 21, 1962) I love how Marcus Severis hears of Val's need to petition the Emperor and tells Arn of course he can help, and does so by talking Val out of it. Cynical and practical, that's a pretty good Roman at the edge of an empirical fall.

Our daily newspaper didn't have Drabble when I was growing up but our Sunday paper had it in their color section and it was completely unremarkable, the kind of strip that only stands out when you notice it on wrapped birthday presents.

The best part (relatively speaking) of Working Daze is how the strip and writer both treat the thing as if it's a time-honored, much-loved, top-tier comic with years of lore that everybody remembers and loves. It does have years of lore, but the comic itself feels like it's been dropped here from a distant reality where it is hugely popular and the characters firmly entrenched in pop culture. When it used to be posted here the vibe I got most from the fondly-presented "Throwback Thursdaze" was the vibe from one of Ruben Bolling's Fun-Paks, the comic strip that ends every day.

Kennel posted:Dustin If Dustin bothers someone, he's in the wrong and gets treated punitively. If someone bothers Dustin, it's because of something he did and therefore he deserves it. That may not be an abusive family situation on its own, but it certainly helps facilitate the abuse. I hate this loving comic strip and the complete shithead who writes it.

Hippocrass posted:Us Boys(March 27, 1912) I kind of miss the "Doings Down in Dippy Dell" side strip (what do you call a topper if it's on the side?) because it was a lovely combination of catchphrase dada and last-minute looming-deadline desperation, but I really enjoy the sincere sports reporting that now summarizes each strip.

Hippocrass posted:Us Boys(April 20, 1912) I was not expecting a storyline on sandlot game fixing in 1912! And for some reason I really like how it involves corruption and chocolate eclairs but not gambling. The stakes are appropriately kid-sized.
