Darthemed posted:Retail Back in the mid-80s, I had an employee (a 5'1" Cajun) who failed to show for his (3rd) shift (so guess who didn't go home after working 1st & 2nd as the manager...). He called me from jail at 3AM to tell me got into a barfight and was arrested for aggravated assault. The next morning, I threw his bail. Hey, when he wasn't drunk & brandishing knives in bars, he was a good employee. And by "good," I mean he was dependable & didn't eat/steal stock. Good news! I retrieved two more Addams anthologies from Mom’s house! One is from 1947! Monster Rally – 1950 This is the one that folks claimed landed Addams in treatment. One of my all-time favorites!

drat I love the Addams. But the comic always has Mortician looking miserable in a FOOB way. And I always forget how Gomez looked, for in my mind he is always Raul Julia.

I would say that it takes a special kind of heart to put out a good Addams movie. Like, you can go by the numbers and have a quirky goth movie but,.....wouldn't be Great. .....It's been many years since I've watched Addams 1+2. Maybe I should change that.

For any of you just coming in, this is Jack/Jock. He was initially a one-note Dumb Jock character, but eventually grew into a sort-of love interest for Luann. They even went on a few dates. Team Evans are working on retconning him as never having been a sort-of love interest for Luann and are hoping we all forget about those dates. I don't think it's going to work out, though. Just look at today. How many more ways can Jock say, "Hey, Luann, please look at my dick."

What is the climate supposed to be? Like the turtleneck/blazer combo stands apart from the sockless sneakers. Add that there are plenty of background silhouettes operating normally in green fields.

Professor Wayne posted:Luann is almost as bad as 9CL in the "these are definitely clothes young people today wear" department. I was going to say that Luann's not awful when it comes to that, the outfits are pretty simple because of the art style, but it generally looks like something a young person might wear. But then I looked up again and realised that I'd just blocked what Luann was wearing. Julet Esqu posted:What, you don't wear a sensible blazer over a turtleneck when you go to the dog park? Sensible blazer over a turtleneck, with yoga pants at that.

Julet Esqu posted:Jack/Jock I think the confusion here arose because Luann's ridiculous art teacher originally referred to him as "Mr. Jock", which is an odd thing for a teacher to do to a student, but as far as I can tell "Jock" was never actually presented as his proper name. As you can see here, Luann is a self-centered dingus who never bothered to learn his actual name: And here, when he finally gets to introduce himself, he's Jack. Also noteworthy is just how dull and insufferable both Luann and Bernice are, in general and to each other. What a comic strip!

I guess I never introduced my comics this thread so: 2017 Spiderman Newspaper Spiderman is the dumbest living thing in his universe, easily defeated by bricks, and constantly having insane poo poo happen around him. Unfortunately the strip ended in 2019, but I've spent the past couple years posting strips since 1999. We're currently up to 2017. If you want to look at old NSM, there's a handy archive in the OP of the NSM thread. 1978 Comics are an assortment of comics I found interesting. They're harvested from the google newspaper scans of The Evening Independent, a St Petersburg, Florida-based paper. 1978 Mary Worth is notable for lacking a lot of the regular cast modern Mary Worth revolves around, and for interesting things actually happening in it every once in a while. 1978 NSM is NSM, except Peter is angrier and Carol exists to give MJ a rival for Peter's attention. We're currently in the middle of a 'I quit being Spiderman, for real this time!' arc. 1978 Rex Morgan is notable because it's actually about medical(or at least hospital) drama most of the time. It also lacks the insufferable precocious children, Mr. Diabetes, and several other not-medical-professional characters the modern strip expects you to care about. 1978 Nancy is Bushmiller Nancy, near the tail-end of his run. And because I can, here's the other strips in this paper's comics section: Travels with Farley got a test run last thread, but quickly revealed itself to be too center-right for everyone's tastes. It replaced Inside Woody Allen a few in-paper months ago, which is an improvement on the grounds that it does not contain Woody Allen. Wizard of Id is Wizard of Id. Beetle Bailey is Beetle Bailey. Redeye is like if Hagar the Horrible was a)less good and b) about Native Americans. Despite the extremely stereotypical depictions in the art, the actual writing/humor is inoffensive and typically pretty bland. Wright Angles is made by a chud. Most of it is bland but sometimes it'll start making fun of teachers/that newfangled "women's lib movement"/radio djs(this once took up an entire week of strips and I wish I was joking). It's only interesting in how bad it is. The Girls is about The Girls. I don't pay enough attention to it to know if there's a consistent cast of Girls or not. It mostly seems to be bland jokes. Marmaduke is a demon hound that will someday consume us all. Dear Abby is not a comic strip, but sometimes has something interesting enough for me to post. She's notable for being impressively progressive about LGBTQ people & weirdly conservative about having sex/cohabiting before marriage. Locher Tracy is Dick Tracy from the Tiny Hands Tracy era. I post this instead of modern tracy because it's weird enough to be entertaining & not completely up its own rear end with references. Origins of the Sunday Comics is what it says on the tin. Sometimes it reruns old ones but I'm not really complaining. It's curated by someone on Gocomics. Footrot Flats is about a New Zealand sheepdog that really needs to get his tapeworm medicine.

I rewatched the 1991 Addam’s Family movie at Halloween and I think it holds up pretty well. It’s funny how many nods to the Monster Rally strips there are. (Also how much they got out of Gomez and Morticia just being extremely horny for each other)
