Some Guy TT posted: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. e: holy poo poo that Family Circus continues its downward spiral into spite and hating children.

Gunther seems more like an example of my argument than he does someone who would promote it. He's the most romantically successful character in Luann in spite of his total lack of redeeming qualities.

you broke my grill posted: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? I would assume so - just a few years prior, Schulz had added the first African-American to the cast (Franklin) and ignored threats from Southern newspapers to drop his strip if he didn’t remove him, so it’s hard to believe that he had malicious intent. At worst, I think it was just Schulz commenting on what was a huge story at the time. Keep in mind that this isn’t a one-off - this story lasted for at least a couple of weeks.

Haifisch posted:The point is that the comic is telling men it's cool to respect women, not that respecting women is an automatic pass to getting laid. (and in fact, the comic is also pointing out that treating women as vending machines for sex is bad) I didn't mention anything about getting laid and neither did the comic. It's obviously playing off these assumptions though as am I. I just don't like magical thinking when it comes to the belief that respecting women equals popularity with women although I completely agree that respecting women and not treating them as sex objects is indeed cool.

Discendo Vox posted:How long was this before Daffy? Looks like about twenty years, which puts Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny as immediately contemporary with Smokey Stover. One of the things I really appreciate about this thread is putting the early-20th century humor I saw in the early nineties into context. Looney Tunes were in pretty much constant TV rotation when I was a kid, but it's only now that I can see the legacy that they were building from.

Rhymes with Orange Get Fuzzy 8/6/00  Stephen Collins  Brenda Starr 6/7/42  Not so much a "meet cute" as a "meet weird." And as a reminder, this guy Brenda is so gaga over posed as a criminal, beat her viciously, and humiliated her.... and she still doesn't know why.  Smokey Stover 1/10/37  Edge of False Comparisons   Very little, I'd say.  "Hi, Mark Trail here with some interesting nature facts! There are no alligators in Malaysia -- in fact, they're entirely a New World species! You'd think maybe this guy would have learned something like that in six years of drawing me."

Vintage Valiant (Aug. 25, 1940)  Sorry about the rainbow effect around some of the text that's been happening. I'll have to see if I can fiddle with some settings to avoid that. I might try leaving the images slightly larger to see if that helps.
