The Lockhorns Brewster Rockit Space Guy  On The Fastrack He's gonna marry that computer, huh?  Safe Havens  Kevin & Kell  Mother Goose & Grimm  Hagar The Horrible  Sherman's Lagoon  And why not add Ella Cinders to my list! The link posted last night included these early ads too.   And here's the first strip  The strip is much talkier than the movie (putting aside that it's silent, of course, there are far less intertitles with dialog than the panels in the upcoming strips). I'm not sure I'd really recognize them as the same character yet aside from the outfit but kinda neat to see early characters like this translated to the screen. Has anyone seen the Skippy movie from 1930?

(Otherwise Known As Funky Winkerbean) "Creating art isn't a business model." Uhhhh, making non-commercial "artistic" films for a November/December release - primarily for publicity, secondarily as a gambit that ticket sales will spike when the films get awards attention - has explicitly been a major part of Hollywood's business model for two or three decades at this point. Even if we ignore the fact that there is no loving story to Lisa's Story, if it were genuinely a known property in this world? Studios would fight for the chance to license the bestselling book that could be produced for relative pocket change; they'd spend more on securing the rights than they would the production. This is the kind of project you could convince major stars to work for baseline SAG wages for, entirely because they could possibly score awards nominations and thus have leverage when they're negotiating a multi-picture deal for a comic book movie franchise. (I'm one of those brokebrain hick rubes who has spent the majority of their lives fascinated with the machinations of the film industry, studying it from about as far removed as one possibly can be in America. This is a special kind of infuriating for me.) quote:NO. NO. NO. NO. (second strip spoilered for potentially y'know how the Supreme Court ruled that you know pornography when you see it? I've got poo poo in hidden folders on my computer that is less obviously porno than these recent 9CL strips.

So many women have made so much effort for so long to lift the stigma in Western culture about breastfeeding in public and here comes Brooke to be like, "breastfeeding is an inherently sexual act and it's so erotic when a woman asserts her sexuality by letting everybody watch her get them sexy-rear end tiddys sucked in public"

Comics from Grandma's Scrapbook, circa 1939 I recently found my grandmother's scrapbook of comics from when she was nine, around 1939. From what I can tell, they some from weekly magazines. I'll be posting a page a day. Hopefully these look decent, as the scrapbook is too fragile to be scanned.

I meant Smart Women, Foolish Choices, for whatever reason I've been counting the title panel in these as panel one. Thank you. FWIW, Smart Women, Foolish Choices: Finding the Right Men and Avoiding the Wrong Ones was a 1986 self-help book by Connell Cowyn and Melvyn Kinder, and was kind of marketed around the fact that while most dating and relationship pop-psych books for women were written by women, this one was written by two men. Why is Madwimmin selling it? Presumably so people have something to grab when they want an ironic counterpoint to use in a sight gag.

Surgeon's Tales The final part of this summary! Book 2, Part 3, Chapter 8 - Unfaithful servant Bertelsköld now explains that anyone who shows lavish lifestyle gets the attention of the reduction officials. He has already lost all of his other properties, but has so far managed to please the king enough to keep Mainiemi. Now he had heard that the king was considering to take it as well. He says that once the news about the party reach the crown, he is guaranteed to lose it. He is also sure that some of his servants are traitors who have been bought by his rivals. The count also tells that he himself had heard about the party a week ago and that's why he rushed to Finland. The countess says that it is impossible, since she hadn't even started the preparations a week ago. She then remembers that she had discussed about it with the house-master Janssen and that he had supported the idea. Bertelsköld then says that the house-master had promised him to make sure that nobody would live lavishly while they were in Finland and it's now clear who is the traitor. The count hides and they summon Janssen. The countess asks how much she owes and after she doesn't get a straight answer she starts angrily throwing her jewelry at him. Janssen takes just one ring and the countess asks to get the debt vouchers she has signed. She then starts speaking more sweetly and the house-master thinks that she's flirting with him, loses his cool and starts declaring his love.  Bertelsköld steps out of his hiding place and starts mocking and humiliating Janssen. He asks him to give back the ring he got from the countess, because he doesn't deserve anything that belonged to her and will get something else for a payment. The house-master first gives a wrong ring and quickly hides it (later Bertelsköld realizes that it is the magic ring that his father lost). After more humiliating orders Janssen recovers from the shock and stops obeying. He says that he is now a free man and then retells how Bertelsköld's father stole him from his mother and how he still remembers the mother's wailing. He says that he had vowed to destroy Bertelsköld's family and while unfortunately wasn't able to steal his wife, he has still more surprises coming. After this he escapes. Actual comics tomorrow!

 The ONLY reason Anne Eiffel ever comes to The Fuse/Kafe Kablooie is so that she can abuse a specific employee in person and everybody working there (except Luann's mom) knows it. Also she ran an illegal counterfeit scales scam out of there once, which everybody DEFINITELY knows about. Management still lets her in the door because

Tiggum posted:It's always this. Using terminology incorrectly because he has no idea what he's talking about and refuses to do any research is almost as much a hallmark of his comics as malapropisms and smugness. It's funny because the malapropisms usually work fine in context and if somebody used them in real life you probably wouldn't even realize they were being used incorrectly because the etymology doesn't really make sense in the first place. Whereas the grotesque misuse of technical terms is so bad it's nearly impossible to figure out what Batuik is actually trying to say.

I mean that's not true because a lot of movies have been made in the past couple of years about quirky people dying slowly and painfully of cancer The problem is that Batiuk thinks this is a rare high concept that NO ONE has ever attempted but those durn movie film cinema executives just want some 'Vengers and the Chinese market
