One of the amazing things about The Timid Soul isn't the humor, but the quality of the art. Look at the shadows in this one. Caspar, Mr. (sigh) Grouchmore, and the caddy are all wearing differently-shaped hats, and their hats' shadows accurately represent that. And if you look closely, you can see that the shadows on the ground also include both men's putters, and the flagpole, and the caddy's outstretched arm, and Mr. Grouchmore's cigar, and the thumb on Caspar's extended right hand. You can see the shadow of the handle of Mr. Grouchmore's putter is visible on his left leg. You can see the shadows of both golf balls. ![]() Parahexavoctal fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Aug 7, 2020 |

Hostile V posted:Wait that's a real movie and not just Tombat doing his "best" to make a knockoff Star Wars like how all of his insufferable comic nerd characters make their own pastiche titles based on real poo poo? Holy crap. That just makes it even weirder that the Black-Haired Comic Guy was seriously considering ditching his wife to go see shooting grounds for a 50s Western serial series. I will say, the Bronson Canyon is actually an interesting place to go because it wasn't just used as the location for one old serial, it was used for *everything*. It was the exterior of the Batcave in the 60s Batman series, it was in the Flash Gordon serial, it was in Lost Horizon, lots of 50s sci-fi, and countless westerns- like the whole ravine is clearly something you'd expect to see a bunch of bandits riding down to make a big dramatic entrance.

Okay I'm almost starting to sympathize with Bernice in that she clearly has major anxiety issues and needs to start therapy of some kind, and possibly medication.

I never knew! That's actually pretty cool. Dykes to Watch Out For #92 (1990) -Alison Bechdel ![]() The First Gulf War, or Operation: Desert Shield/Storm formally kicked off on August 2nd, 1990 and lasted for about six months. Nominally in response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Mo's sentiment that it was fundamentally an oil war-- a hypothesis that history has borne out pretty well. Ginger is reading Susie Sexpert's Guide to Excruciatingly Incorrect Behavior. This is a spoof on Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior, an etiquette guide by Judith Martin first published in 1982. From 1978 onwards Martin wrote a popular syndicated advice column with kind of a snarky edge to it. As has been covered previously the notion of the G-spot was known by women throughout history and kind of known to male scientific institutional bodies off and on since the 17th century, but only entered the popular imagination in the 80s by way of Ladas, Whipple and Perry's The G Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality. It was a pretty hot topic and one that had important bearing on feminist and lesbian discourses, as it connotated a kind of sexual pleasure that, in many cases, was not well-served by conventional straight sex. Lois here is a bit behind the times-- her suggestion that drilling in wildlife refuges is next on the menu is kind of framed as a sarcastic provocation but in fact discussions about drilling for oil in Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge in particular (ANWR) had been on the table since 1977. Oil companies began to press aggressively for opening up the ANWR for drilling in the mid-80s, including a shady test bore by Chevron in 1985, and a bill permitting drilling in 1989 was only derailed by the popular backlash to the disastrous Exxon Valdez spill. In December, 2017 portions of the ANWR were after decades of contentious struggle opened up for oil and gas drilling, and as recently as late 2019 the Trump administration has signaled support for opening the entire coastal plain opened up for energy exploitation.

Snoopy getting that letter seems kind of tone deaf seeing as Hank Aaron got so many racist slur-filled letters when he broke the record. I'm not sure what the intent is but I guess the nicest interpretation was supposed to be Snoopy showing solidarity with him?

Schwarzwald posted:TBH I'm a little baffled by these complaints. I kind of underexplained this, given that you're not the only one who misunderstood me. I was actually referring to Nova, not Zelda. A previous strip (which would be years ago since we skipped a bunch) has Nova talking about how she can't hold on to a boyfriend because men are intimidated by her success, which shocks Zelda who thinks Nova must be super desirable. The newer strip goes farther than this previous characterization, suggesting that Nova loves work so much she doesn't even complain about being stuck with more of it on her vacation. So Nova saying women should suck it up and just deal with an alternate work/life balance suggests a very different, less politically charged explanation for Nova's unsatisfactory love life. Namely than men are put off by her less for being successful but rather for being so into her job that she's probably not a very satisfying emotional partner, complaints which Nova willfully interprets in the former category, ironically enough, to avoid taking responsibility for her life choices. Even when, as Zelda argues in this particular comic, there's a completely different more broadly accurate cultural complaint she could instead be making that would be just as feminist, if not moreso. riderchop posted:Rae the Doe's web archives And as long as I'm being spicy this take is dumb for the exact opposite reason. Guys who are popular with women are not guaranteed this popularity because women always make sensible decisions when it comes to selecting partners with good feminist values, as countless E/N posters can attest.
