The Dinette Set will leave a message if it's important. Working Daze is too long, didn't read.  Super-Fun-Pak Comix is always relevant.  Cul De Sac was always like this.

I love how Far Side is so fundamentally Far Side that the strips hand selected for Memorial Day present the military as - insufficiently competent to handle a slide projector while having authority over nuclear weapons - the literal undead - sticklers for absurd regulations - and powerless in the face of a crisis

LazyQ posted:Mämmilä I thought Sulo beating a horse to death when he got drunk was just some weird one-off thing in his intro, so it's kind of surprising to have someone bring it up now. It gives weight to this woman's concern about Anni getting together with Sulo, though.

Chef Bourgeoisie posted:Bloom County I'd like to point out that this Senator Bedfellow probably isn't just a generic 'corrupt politician' character, but was a response to the ABSCAM scandal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscam Basically, the FBI used darker skinned agents to go undercover and pose as a bunch of Arab sheikh businessmen to offer bribes to Congressmen and local New Jersey politicians (and one Senator) in exchange for support for everything from getting casino gaming licenses and immigration visas to investing in a titanium mine. They nailed six Congressmen and one Senator, as well as the mayor of Camden, NJ, among others. Bedfellow's cry of 'ENTRAPMENT' in the Sunday was also the defense used by everyone charged in the case. This wasn't just posturing either; at the time there had never been a 'sting' operation used for white collar crime like this before, and the difference between entrapment and a 'sting' operation wasn't settled case law yet. The juries didn't buy it and they all got convicted, but a few defendants got their convictions overturned by claiming that the FBI forced them to break the law by offering the bribes in the first place. If you've ever seen American Hustle, that's the same case.

A horse? I thought he beat a man who was beating a horse? Anyway, in Juliet Jones, no one is in a drunken rage, and the strip would be better if someone were.

gleebster posted:A horse? I thought he beat a man who was beating a horse? Oh, you're right. He was drunk, saw a man beating his horse, and then beat that man to death. Maybe it's hyperbole and Sulo knocked the guy out, but the gossip in their small town blew it out of proportion? gleebster posted:Anyway, in Juliet Jones, no one is in a drunken rage, and the strip would be better if someone were. Poor Eve's got it really rough for this storyline.  I guess the only mystery left is what the hell is Kiwi's deal. He seems too sensible to be going along with Ace.

I believe it's a pun on doing the right thing. The milkman is well aware that the milk he may leave will probably never make it inside the house.

RandomPauI posted:I know that ad was a big deal a few months back, but if Ed won't cut back on salt to save his life what makes you think he'll exercise to save his marriage? Yeah I think it is just an old-fashioned way of saying "do the right thing" that is unintentionally racist sounding. Not that casual racism is not found in Ella Cinders (I want to say we already had some but I don't remember what), just this is probably not an example of it. Edit: You know, reading the wiki again maybe it is casual racism. I've seen the use before and I always thought it was referring to like how bad guys always wore black and good guys always wore white, but now I'm not so sure.

Classic A3G is being ridiculous. Margo hasn't read one page of the book, but is just assuming it will be the next great American novel because this dude told her the book she was reading sucks and the one he wrote has a cool protagonist. BTW we're all super disgusted that that evil and conniving criminal, Shannon, is heartlessly grifting the helpless and innocent TJ out of all his hard-earned pennies.

There was "if his face was as black as his heart he could do a minstrel show without any makeup" which all scans fine in context but is a bit of a collar-tugger.

You know, I remember being a preteen/teen and being told not to read the Boondocks because it was like South Park. I am starting to think my parents thought the comic was about the Boondock Saints and not two black kids.

Medenmath posted:Vintage Valiant (May 28, 1939) One thing that really strikes me about the classic Val is how swiftly the storylines move. Current Val has been on a guano-based side quest for the last four strips. Four strips ago in Vintage, Val hadn't even heard that Rome had fallen yet. The entire Cave Of Time thing only took about two and a half strips total.

Is Ella Cinders in Britain? I thought she was in the US somewhere. It's probably a pun about milk. EDIT: the "hottentot's hair" thing earlier in the same strip does seem kinda racist, though.
