Mämmilä Introduction of M-club, the premier social association in town. In the fourth panel we see it's most prominent members, all familiar to us: mayor Martti Mielonen, building commissioner Heimo Suominen, bank manager Ensio Santanen and contractor Ylitalo; there's also a guy with glasses that might be CEO Teuvo Isopaljo. The implicit becomes explicit in a few strips when we see how things really get done in Mämmilä. The M-club is a very bourgeois affair; the old white-red divide is fading but still felt, and the working class has it's own worker's associations and athletic clubs. Which brings us to the pun in panels 4-5. Suojelu can meet protection, preservation and defense, and Jalmari Lepola refers to them as Suojeluskunta, the Finnish White Guard, who were seen as part of the post-civil war bourgeois repression of the left. Though officially a kind of national guard and reservist organisation, some of its members took part in explicit anti-left violence. They were disbanded at the end of WWII.

Zereth posted:It's also odd how the guy is constantly vibrating but it never seems to... affect anything he does. That's a reference to the relative that this guy is a rehash of. The gimmick has always been that the character is incredibly shaky, but capable of extremely precise actions (like building ships in bottles, or sharpshooting) on demand. Iirc with the original there was a throwaway reference to a nerve tonic or something.

When I heard the creator drew NSFW Lockhorns, I thought maybe they drew porn. But no, these are just really raunchy jokes that fit them really well. kidcoelacanth posted:https://www.instagram.com/p/CA4dn1EJBnF This is amazing. Thanks for linking this. at that last panel. Poor Spud isn't getting any sleep tonight.I'm 100% sure this one got penned by Jams. Not because of the clipart, but because the sequence of events is pretty wonky. Panel 1 has Rusty telling Rex that the dog is missing, so you'd think the logical step would be drawing Rusty in the next panel being worried about the dog. But Jams uses Cherry instead, so it makes it seem like she just called Rex "dad" instead.

Those Raunchorns were great, I love that second one. Excellent. Manuel Calavera posted:Compu-Toon Maybe it's just because they're being posted now, but I'm getting a real Far Side vibe from this one. Anyway, Conan the Barbarian Feb. 5th, 1979- Feb. 11th, 1979        I'm gonna be honest, I'm still suspicious of the slug creature. Conan accepts that far too readily.

If anyone is wondering, I found those images years ago on Heritage Auctions when I was doing a medium-depth dive into the work of Bill Hoest. So they're legit. I also have a few years' worth of the deeply weird "What a Guy!" Hoest strip painstakingly grabbed from newspaper archives that are no longer online. The quality ranges from bad to quite bad but I honestly don't think What a Guy! has been preserved apart from one out-of-print and stupidly pricey paperback. The truly lost Hoest comics are those that were printed in Parade magazine; no one ever thought to or even wanted to preserve that corny Sunday insert, so Howard Huge and the other one-panel gags are probably landfill.

Nenonen posted:Lockporns The Knockboots? The Fuckhards? Buni  Rhymes with Orange  Get Fuzzy 5/31/00  Brenda Starr 2/16/41 Unfortunately, whoever scanned the Chicago Tribune issues I've been using neglected to scan the February 1941 copies of the comic magazine supplement where Brenda ran, except for one week. So I'm afraid we'll miss a few pieces of the story of Professor Squell's mysterious cabin. We pick up with Tom Taylor (sigh) and Pesky somehow on the scene...  "Huh, there may be some kind of gas in here, and we only have one gas mask. Go on ahead, Pesky, you'll probably be fine."

There are hours of network television commercials on YouTube. Heck, there are hours of documented Prevue Channel footage on YouTube ("Charter Cable 8/26/86 3:35-3:58 PM"), so I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least one Parade obsessive in America just sitting on a buncha scans of Marilyn vos Savant and Personality Parade columns.

riderchop posted:Thank you Georgia Dunn, ACAB as always. This is a good excuse to skip the last few pages of the Keeping Up With the Joneses compilation and instead provide some examples of Tad Dorgan's Judge Rummy. Tad was reasonably woke for his era, I think. He portrayed the Judge as a corrupt, alcoholic adulterer, but also one who (sometimes) genuinely cared about injustice. I'm giving him a pass on his caricatures of black people because he portrays them the same way he does everyone else: as anthropomorphic dogs.  Wikipedia's description of this strip posted:In this installment of Tad Dorgan's comic strip "Judge Rummy", the Judge asks Deacon - a black man - why he constantly allows a police officer to bully him; Deacon replies that if he fought back, the police officer would kill him. and  Wikipedia's description of this strip posted:In this installment of Tad Dorgan's comic strip Judge Rummy, a police officer brings a badly-injured prisoner before the judge. When the judge criticizes the police officer for having beaten the prisoner, the police officer explains that he had had no choice but to become violent, because the jail's staff were on strike.
