Moomin and the brigands The first few stories feel rather strange in a way, they're kind of unfocused and meandering, as if it's all just a long, surreal dream sequence. If you hop between vol 1 and 3 there's a pretty major change in how focused and concise the stories are.

I want to give back a bit to a thread that I've gotten a lot of education and enjoyment out of. I'm thinking about posting Cathy and Crockett Johnson's initial 1942-1946 run on Barnaby-- the former because I think it's a fascinating barometer for what a comic predicated on being "relateable" to a mainstream demographic of (white) women looked at through the 70s-aughts, and the latter because it's an exquisite comic. If either of these have already been posted in a previous iteration of this thread and people are burnt out on them or whatever that's fine, but otherwise I'll try to write up a little intro for both over the weekend?

Cathy used to get posted ages ago when it was still currently running, but I don't remember seeing that second one you're talking about at all.

Bad Machinery quote:I think today's road-related comic was inspired by the derailing of the Ilkley bypass in the early 1990s. I'd bypass everything if I could, including common decency. But I'd start with Ilkley.

gleebster posted:Anyway, has anyone ever posted The Heart of Juliet Jones before? It's mostly a standard soap opera story. The titular character is a sensible young woman living in the small town of Devon. She's so sensible that she was elected mayor. Most of the drama comes from her younger sister, Eve, who is more romantically inclined. But this story begins with their father, Pop Jones, who is just shutting up the office... Synthbuttrange posted:it used to be posted but I've no idea why it stopped showing up here. I used to post Juliet Jones as well as some other classic comics and it was great. I love that strip. Beautiful art. Relateable characters. Completely different from the hate-read strip I post now. The only reason I stopped is because Comics Kingdom is a garbage site that randomly stopped working for me one day. I would love to see it posted here again. It is far superior in every way to this trash:  Naw, if they did Gunther would have to dump her for not being a virgin

In contrast to many comic strips that become about small children who behave like adults, Luann has become about adults who behave just like small children.

Re the sand castles thing: nope. A cursory googling reveals that the news was published by a German TV show in 2010, so a full two years after the supposed ban; that same year the mayor was asked about it and replied "What? No, I have no idea where they got the info from, there is no such regulation."

I'd be curious to see Cathy, especially classic ones. I never disliked it as a kid, but I remember not having an issue when my local newspaper replaced it with Pearls Before Swine either. I wonder if it took a while to find its niche, or if it mostly started there.

I really only remember Cathy as being a one-note "this is what it's like to be an American woman but in a self-loathing way" comic that kind of didn't sit well with me as a young kid reading the newspaper because A: "I'm a boy and this is a comic for women" and B: "man it sure does suck to be a lady in America, there's a lot of stress and self-loathing and neuroses and I don't think any of this is making her happier" were both in my thoughts at that age. I doubt it's aged super well, though it's still notable for being a strip that ran from the 70s to the 00s, and I just feel a little trepidation at seeing it through nonbinary 29 year old eyes but y'know Just Post.
