Dr. Dos posted:My favorite old comics are the ones that are relevant nearly a century later. There's a fair number of in which he acts as hero of the proletariatbefore WWI comes along and he turns into a jingoistic rear end. I used to have a bunch of them saved, and just as an example there's one where he stops two men from beating up a dude, only to learn that the victim is a strike-breaker and then goes on to pummel him himself.

Sick, Sick, Sick is awesome because it was in the Village Voice. The average person back then would have looked at it like we look at MiniSec. Or rather, like we used to. RIP Stephanie McMillan.

Wanamingo posted:Nancy EasyEW posted:Let's not forget that Bushmiller's Nancy existed mostly in a bubble apart from the pop culture of the outside world. Gilchrist, on the other hand, has wasted entire weeks pandering to his Baby Boomer demo by doing nothing but drawing or namechecking people, characters, and other stuff they remember. If a Bushmiller Nancy strip exists where the "punchline" was HERE'S THAT THING YOU USED TO LIKE!, I've never seen it. That alone makes the classic era infinitely less insufferable.

Manuel Calavera posted:Tina's Groove Well, it turns out this is a real thing. Thanks, Google. Wikipedia posted:Casu marzu is considered by Sardinian aficionados to be unsafe to eat when the maggots in the cheese have died. Because of this, only cheese in which the maggots are still alive is usually eaten, although allowances are made for cheese that has been refrigerated, which can kill the maggots. When the cheese has fermented enough, it is often cut into thin strips and spread on moistened Sardinian flatbread (pane carasau), to be served with a strong red wine.[5][7] Casu marzu is believed to be an aphrodisiac by Sardinians.[8] Because the larvae in the cheese can launch themselves for distances up to 15 centimetres (6 in) when disturbed,[2][9] diners hold their hands above the sandwich to prevent the maggots from leaping. Some who eat the cheese prefer not to ingest the maggots. Those who do not wish to do so place the cheese in a sealed paper bag. The maggots, starved for oxygen, writhe and jump in the bag, creating a "pitter-patter" sound. When the sounds subside, the maggots are dead and the cheese can be eaten.[10]  In other news, I usually ignore the newsletter that Comics Kingdom emails me, but I happened to glance at it this time, and this article caught my interest. It's a little write-up on Milt Gross who did a few comics in the 20's and 30's. While his stuff has never been featured regularly in these threads as far as I know, I'm pretty sure "The Meanest Man" has shown up a couple of times. "I Did It and I'm Glad" is interesting for having a similar premise to Everett True (put-upon person beats the everloving poo poo out of an irritating person) but without a regular title character. And then there's also "Draw Your Own Conclusion," which I don't really get, most of the time. They posted a few sample strips, so it might be worth your while to click the link and check it out.  None of these actually appear in the Vintage section at CK, though, unfortunately.

Someone used to post Milt Gross strips quite regularly for a while. We definitely had a whole bunch of Count Screwloose, Banana Oil and Dave's Delicatessen. It's been a long long while though, maybe even the thread before last.
