Are the OG Flash Gordon comics collected anywhere? I'm guessing there's nothing equivalent to the Fantagraphic Valients, but surely there's something?

Green Intern posted:Can’t really go knocking off nobility, even disgraced nobility. It sets a bad example for the monarchy you’re trying to establish. That's going to far. You can totally knock off nobility, you just need to do so with more tact than this.

Kennel posted:I went to check who this character was, and apparently this is her final appearance. I think her previous showing was posted in a previous version of this thread. I remember enjoying it at the time, but this recent one is kind of a flop. What a disappointing (and disappointingly final) turn for poor Truffles!

Shaman Tank Spec posted:E: on the one hand I definitely admire the strip's optimistic view of technology, and miss that general tone of the era's sci-fi when people dreamt of the possibilities new technologies might open up for us, but there's definitely an air of "flying cities in the cloud? They're happening within a few years! elon musk says so!" about the whole thing. Well, yeah, this is exactly what Elon Musk and his ilk are imitating.

Weembles posted:I bet someone could squeeze an entire master's thesis out of comparing and contrasting Jughead and Wimpy. They both fill the roll of half sidekick - half comic foil. Yet Wimpy has had affairs with everyone up to and including the Sea Hag in a really non-sexual comic, while Jughead flees from girls in the horniest comic of the 1940s. Thimble Theatre is mostly what I expected "comic Popeye" to be but I was completely caught of guard by how much of an anime harem protagonist Wimpy is. He's had a monster girl at every other port!

There's something almost tragic about John Allison's Conan having the same plot as (modern) Prince Valiant. As much as I tend to like his work, I doubt the comparison will be kind.

Cowslips Warren posted:reminds me of how that final CTRL ALT DEL story was, where suddenly it wasn't all wacky monkey cheese vidjagames one offs or mini stories about how awesome vidjagames were, but about loving Terminator style end of the world. And of course the ultimate manchild sacrificing himself to save everyone. And his friends made a videogame religion after his death in his honor. Of all the times CAD overstepped, I'm at a loss how that was the example that came to mind.
