Zelda is a terrible and I hate her.

The thing about Zippy is that Griffith had about 7 years worth of material, but since it's been running for decades, well...

Anyway, in Juliet Jones, J Jonah Jackson has inexplicably returned Eve to her home, only to meet Julie. Will he now kidnap the mayor?

The little downtown shopping area near me always does some kind of artistic artificial tree installation every year, so frankly I think this whips.

I AM NOT BEING PAID TO CORRECT OTHER PEOPLE'S POSTS! DONKEY!!

In this installment of Keeping Up With the Joneses, Momand returns to the gag about a major class indicator being how much noise people made when eating soup. It's remarkable how quickly the spelling "sassiety" has begun to grate on me. Also of note is the reference to a "jazz band" - quite a new phrase at the time. The compilation that I'm taking these from was published in 1920, and I'd been wondering if it included content from the strip's beginning in 1913.

I only have excellent ideas
Dykes to Watch Out For #31 (1988)


-Believe it or not the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which cracked down on workplace discrimination based on disability and "required" public places to work towards accessibility, wasn't passed until 1990.

Disabilities activism emerged in a recognizable form in 1970, when the difficulty disabled people faced getting around was reframed as less about a personal failing and more as a failure of broader systems in architecture, city planning, and design to accommodate non-abled bodies. This coincided with a shift between a "medical model" of disability-- in which a disabled person had an implicit problem which prevented them from doing things-- and a "social model" of disability-- in which spaces, tools, and buildings were identified as lacking features which would make them usable by a broader range of people. These activists protested that disabled people didn't need to be confined to their home and treated as permanently invalid, and pushed for reforms that would make existing socially as a disabled person easier-- stuff like ramps on public buildings, broader availability for braile and closed captions, and more accessible public bathrooms.

The ADA was obviously not a magic wand and tons of places still either don't comply at all or pay lip service to it. I used to belong to a disabilities studies reading group and one perennial issue was the extremely narrow range of options we could go to afterwards for dinner or a drink, since many restaurants with ramps failed to keep them clear. I teach in a building that's also very hostile to people with wheelchairs-- I usually have classes on the 9th, 10th, or 11th floors and it can take a student in a cheer almost 15 minutes just go get from the front door to class.

I do want to point out that this strip about a disabilities rights panel stars two able-bodied characters. Much like the trans stuff, I feel like Bechdel starts here from a place of more or less benign tunnel-vision. A disabled character will turn up in a bit who's pretty well-written, although, as you might imagine, Mo is immediately an rear end in a top hat to her.

-Zami: A New Spelling of My Name is Audre Lorde's 1982 memoir and a landmark in queer autobiography. Audre Lorde is namedropped several times throughout DtWOF which makes sense-- she had a profound influence of lesbian, leftist, as well as African American literature throughout the latter half of the 20th century. You may know of her for her aphorism "the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house," which comes from a 1984 explicitly about tokenism and neglect in academia, so her inclusion here as Bechdel begins to flesh out Ginger is interesting.

I think zippy is pretentious horseshit, though
Zippy is a comic like it's written by a highly educated stoner hippy in the 70s but it's no longer the 70s and he no longer gets stoned but he's still trying to capture that vibe.

That strip is slow enough. I can't imagine how painful it would be if every plot included a six week wait to visit the main character.
