 This whole storyline has been about a married woman whose children are grown finding interests and work to do outside the home and how much it sucks for her family. What year is it?  Seriously, what year is it?

I know it's not my beat but I read this in the paper and had to ask...  Is there a non racist interpretation of this strip?

Some Guy TT posted:The other part of this storyline that really bugs me is that she's reading a book at all. Kids don't like reading books, and the Godfather specifically is a book that's not very easy to find. It's famous mainly for being a movie. Which any halfway clever kid could find on the Internet pretty easily just because it's old. Lots of kids like to read, what are you talking about?

I kept forgetting to post this: Out of the way, you swine! A cartoonist is coming to prehistoric television! The people posting old Kukla, Fran and Ollie shows on YouTube just put up the earliest surviving of Terry and The Pirates and Steve Canyon creator Milton Caniff's multiple visits to the Kuklapolitan Playhouse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUnRwbaFbVo

Has anyone ever actually posted Terry and the Pirates in this thread? I can't recall having seen it in all the time I've been here. Not exactly the most intuitive contribution, given that its main relic in pop culture is the very yellow perilish Dragon Lady. Mind, I'd still be interested in reading it if anybody has a source.

My only knowledge of Terry and the Pirates is a joke at the end of the Bloom County storyline where Opus goes looking for his mother. The Mary-Kay one, I think there were two now that I think about it. I wish my knowledge of Funky Winkerbean was still only a Bloom County punchline (the scratch-and-sniff Sunday one).

The first of the old Firebrand Books collections of Dykes to Watch Out For that I ordered came in today-- Dykes to Watch Out For the Sequel which unfortunately is a little bit ahead of where I'm currently at. I have a few more on the way hopefully but a few things: -reading a whole chunk sequentially really makes evident that the Essential, as admirable as it is, is definitely making editorial choices about streamlining the story. Mo's therapist is a major character in a bunch of strips, but you wouldn't know it from the Essential's curation. -as you may have noticed from the scans curtadams has provided so far, the Firebrand books split each strip into two wide pages, whereas the Essential formats them as one taller page each. I'd be very curious to see what they looked like when they originally ran in various weeklies and so on. -each of these collections has a little bit of extra stuff: in this case some funny bios of the characters in the front and a longer new story in the book, for example The Sequel has an autobiographical thing about Bechdel's dating neuroses. In other books these are more directly related to the serial narrative, like showing how all the characters met. I'll scan all this stuff as I get to it but in the meantime, the Essential has a pretty hefty graphic introduction that I never thought to post, but which I might as well because I think it's interesting. -seeing how much of just this one book was stuff not in Essentials got me thinking about it so I went ahead and tallied up a list of all strips not included in it (and yeah, because I love this thread so much, in doing so I reread probably the saddest dog strip in any comic ever for and cried in my barley): it's quite a lot, although from #456 (2004) through the end with #527 (2008) it's a straight shot with no gaps. Otherwise out of those 527 there are 139 missing strips-- the Essential is still a huge achievement but there's a lot of good stuff tucked away in the Firebrand books or in archives. Anyway here's the first half of the little intro comic, and just for fun a map of the neighborhood: (NSFW for sex)        Briefly: -Ruthven Tremain was a childrens' author who did annual calendars for kids full of trivia and illustrations and puzzles and stuff. I am not finding solid info on when these started and when these stopped so I suspect they've kind of fallen in between the cultural cracks. They look gorgeous though. -Adrienne Rich was a hugely influential lesbian poet and essayist (albeit one with a spotty record on trans stuff including a friendship with Janice Raymond of The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male infamy). On Lies, Secrets and Silence came out in 1979 and collected most of her major essays from between then and 1966. Definitely the kind of thing bright Oberlin students would have been reading during the period (and now too probably!). I've got to admit a lot of it is brilliant. Until I found out about the Raymond stuff I used a longer chunk of that "unspoken/unspeakable" quote excerpted above in almost every creative writing syllabus I wrote. Oh well. -The Wallflower Order Dance Collective was a radical dance group that began in Oregon in the mid-70s. This is way outside my wheelhouse and to be frank I just googled the poster so you wouldn't have to. If anybody is an expert on avant-garde dance reading this please chime in! -Bechdel accurately recreates the 7/3/81 NYT page in which a sidebar about AIDS is snugged into the margins of a big dumb patriotic anthem. -Alix Dobkin was a feminist folk singer and activist who was openly gay from the early 70s onwards, kind of a trail-blazer. That being said-- and detect, if you will, a pattern here-- she also has a long history of viciously transphobic statements. From a 2014 open letter to the National Center for Lesbian Rights: Alix Dobkin posted:"For over twenty years men have declared themselves 'women,' manipulated their bodies and then demanded the feminist seal of approval from survivors of girlhood.... [My lyrics] are not 'oppressive' but refer to those of us who have a girlhood & a clitoris, & no one else." -Almost all of the stuff on page six is real and worth googling. Sinister Wisdom, which started in 1976, is still going strong. Conditions was also a legendary lesbian literary magazine, which folded in 1990. Common Lives/Lesbian Lives distinguished itself by focusing on intersectional stuff and by being rooted in Iowa City, unlike the vast majority of lit mags at the time which were solidly coastal. The Coming Out Stories was published in 1980 and was widely read, although it's sort of in a different sphere than the other stuff she's reading in that panel.

Welp, now Mopsy is cancelled big time. Onto today's Corto Maltese which, frankly, in the first book was just as suspect: Esmeralda has Corto's number, or Corto shuts people down ice-cold, or Snitches get ventilated in drive-bys
