Lars Blitzer posted:Flattop Jr's Car! I can't get over it! You know, it wasn't all that long ago that we did our readthrough of that very storyline. I wonder if somebody on the Tracy team reads the thread. Such a specific reference to a series of strips nearly sixty years old without any prompting seems like an Unnatural Position Comix.

GorfZaplen posted:Classic Prince Valiant To me, this is weirdly reminiscent of the Dagobah scene from "The Empire Strikes Back" where Yoda tells Luke to go into that rooty-cavey place and deal with that apparition of Darth Vader. Except, there was no drinking involved. Well, at least not by the characters in the movie. ![]() E: I don't know how that "A" in Darth got capitalized. I am not good with computer.

Obviously this is a sideless trunk, not a bottomless trunk. We can clearly see in panel 2 Grandpa's egress through the back side. Furthermore, the bottom is flat on the ground, making it impossible to escape in that direction even if it is bottomless. False advertising here.![]()

Except, there was no drinking involved. Well, at least not by the characters in the movie. I think it's a takeoff of a certain Norse legend. Thor was in the hall of a giant king having a wrestling match with an old housemaid. She fought him down to one knee, but the fight ended in a stalemate. It turns out the giants called the fight because they were using illusion magic and he was actually fighting Old Age. They were scared that if they gave him a chance to muster any more willpower he would overpower her and break time itself. Earlier challenges included Loki narrowly losing an eating contest to the very concept of fire, and Thor losing a drinking contest by only being able to finish half his drink, which turned out to be the ocean. When they left the giants immediately cloaked themselves and their castle so they would never have to risk having dinner with the aesir again.

When I was a kid I figured that this was the Noodle Incident, to the point where I was surprised to learn people wondered what the Noodle Incident was. It just seemed so obvious. Edit: Also, that Prince Valiant is pretty drat grim. "Here is Prince Valiant having awesome adventures and being awesome. Here he is confronted with the spectre of time and the knowledge that all shall fall to it, shall be ground into dust and forgotten, and there is no stopping it, no matter how brave or strong you are. Now here he is on another adventure!" catlord fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Mar 11, 2014 |

Appropriately I've got a link to the story as told in Valhalla, the comic series. It's even translated. http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/869599.html

If the Wally Winkerbean plots are anything to go by, we're about to see approximately 10 years of plots (maybe only a slight exaggeration) about whether or not Cory is dead.

Volume posted:Forget his face, what's going on with his hands? I'm not sure why he's starting to make a finger-gun with his left hand, but maybe he was conflicted about what kind of emphatic gesture he should use to accompany his gloating "How'd you like the debut of IRON JONAH?" Or maybe it's some kind of secret message, like Carol Burnett tugging her ear. Either way, at this point I never want Jameson to ever take off that Iron Jonah suit. I want to see him sitting behind the desk in his office, cigar jammed into the mouth-slit of the helmet, yelling at Parker to go out and get him some pictures of Spider-Man. I want to see Iron Jonah laid out on a towel at the beach, sipping cocktails through a long straw. I want Iron Jonah sitting in a fancy restaurant with a napkin tucked into his chestplate.
