The way Brooke's self-inserts insist on seeing their wives as a little girl is really loving creepy. nishi koichi posted:every character has the exact same semi-snarky voice, i would have figured high school For a second there, I thought you meant Funky Winkerbean, not Sally Forth.

Slammy posted:I've heard about this several times and was curious enough to find some of the strips. This is interesting because modern Jeremy is depicted as...if not an overachiever, at least an achiever. He's shown getting good grades and working hard, while having lots of hobbies and such. They kinda met Jeremy and Chad in the middle The Virgin Jeremy and the Chad Chad

My preacher growing up was a HUGE Zits fan, and he hung at least two sermons a year on an anecdote from the strip. I know for a fact I've heard at least 2-3 that mentioned Chad, and it being the late 90s there wasn't a lot of resources for me to chase those strips down. In retrospect, it's pretty funny how small a throwaway gag the whole character is, relative to my imagination growing up.

CannonFodder posted:edit: oh and that was a very good OP, thanks You're welcome. I'm also trying to update it if important info comes up, such as that Subnat's post about Calligraphr that helps you make edits to comics that I don't think I'd ever seen before despite having posted in this thread for years. It's in there now if anyone wants to find it again for future reference. And if anyone has any other fonts that should be banked in the OP, by all means post them. Speaking of which I remain shocked that nobody made this joke when Blueberry featured a scene wherein a character literally asks for a ginger ale and is shocked when none are available. But then again, nobody but Samovar knew how to make a Blueberry font!

Circus Windows I mean, they're not wrong Reminds me of how Lottie got banned from every pool in Britain in The Case of the Fire Inside davidspackage posted:I'm amused that there seemed to be no reason for Axa to lose her top again. It just seemed to be gone when she was thrown into the arena, like the artist got bored of not dotting nipples. From the introduction to the Modesty Blaise book The Puppet Masters Rob van der Nol posted:A lot of readers will have been overjoyed with the third frame of panel 2596, but it also created a little stir. Modesty standing there, naked breasts, hands on her hips, proud and feminine as ever. Nowdays on can't understand why, but in 1971, not everybody was a liberal as O'Donnell had hoped for. A semi-naked woman in a 'respectable' newspaper just wouldn't do. Several people complained, and the Sunday Times even ran a short article on the affair. O'Donnell got a small reprimand from the Evening Standard, but thankfully nothing too serious.

StrixNebulosa posted:Cathy - Feb 27+28 1977 Looked this up, apparently this was a real thing From the link quote:Ever since 1975's killing frost in Brazil devastated world coffee supplies, the price of a caffeine fix has climbed steadily. It's become so bad that a consumers' group in New York City has organized a boycott against the bean. On CBC-TV's Take 30, Barbara Shand of the Consumers' Association of Canada says a coffee boycott isn't necessary in Canada. Coffee, as Shand points out, is not a nutritious part of any diet. And she doesn't believe anyone is deliberately ripping off Canadians. If Canadians decide that $3.75 a pound - the projected price in three months - is too much to pay, they should just stop buying coffee. That's why the consumers' association will not organize or support a mass boycott to try to drive down the price. Still, there's talk that a 30-cent cup in a restaurant could soon cost 50 cents.

Arlo and Janis Tina's Groove Classic (June 17, 2009)  Arlo and Janis Classic (June 17, 1999)  This storyline must have gotten into my head without my realizing it, because last night I dreamed that I bought a boat, then forgot that I bought a boat. I went outside and it was in my yard and I was like "oh, poo poo, right, I bought a boat." I have, to be clear, absolutely no use for a boat in my real life. Garfield Classic (June 17, 1989)

Raskolnikov38 posted:who is Gomez talking to? it doesn’t look like uncle fester That is the the male half of husband and wife Addams drew that he called the "wall-eyed couple". Presumably they are either relatives or friends of the family. From The Addams Family: An Evilution quote:During the fifties and sixties Addams was devoted to the original odd couple he called the "wall-eyed couple," referring to the husband; the wife was childlike, with a flat head and chopped hair. In 1964 Addams went so far as to give them a two-headed toddler, regarding whom Granny Frump naturally observed, "I think he looks a little like both of you." Here is the comic mentioned:

Tauhid did this in A Problem Like Jamal and specifically called it out as an homage to Zits.

If I was gonna write a storyarc where I needed a stand-in for the idea of "old innocent joke, impossible to misinterpret" with an eye on cancel culture I probably would avoid making that stand-in "species has characteristic".

StrixNebulosa posted:Cathy - Feb 27+28 1977 Thanks for posting these early Cathy strips. Curious to watch the shift from this self-destructive basket case to the neurotic everywoman Cathy was for most of the run. That second strip has something of the eventual Cathy personality, although the eventual Cathy would have delivered the punch line as an aside without losing her temper. I went looking online for old Cathy collections and was shocked to find that many of them now sell for a very steep premium. Kind of wishing I hadn't Kondo'd my collection. I recently found one I'd missed, though, A Hand to Hold, an Opinion to Reject and it turns out to be roughly at the point I'd say Cathy shifted from fresh and different to a mostly phone-it-in quasi-legacy strip. At the ten year mark, which is about average for these things.
