Ruthless Rhymes for Martial Militants (4/24/1914) Here again Harding is borrowing from a familiar rhyme: quote:Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been? As with the previous examples of this tendency, originality and innovation don't seem to be Harding's strong suits. Like the lower echelons of "Little Willie" poems there seems to be less of an interest in clever wordplay or a surprising twist to the form, more of an interest in just hitting the basic beats of showing a bit of excess and violence. "Pussy cat, pussy cat" the nursery rhyme was first recorded in 1805's Songs for the Nursery but is very likely of older provenance. It reached its apotheosis in 1983 with Adam and the Ants' "Puss 'n Boots" and that's all I have to say about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6zstmlOjLs

Oh, gotcha; Batuik's shared-yet-20-years-apart universe never fails to confound me. I guess that would explain that weird Crankshaft week of jerking off over some random 85-year old movie too.

EasyEW posted:More Near-Death Hallucinationsbean I know it won't happen but I would love for this to turn out to be something crazy. Imagine if the strip had a years-long side story about this guy and his kid self traveling through this underground fantasy kingdom, totally unrelated to the main plot. Or if the fire clears and rescuers find the kid version instead of the old man. Or anything, really, anything actually fun and interesting. Wouldn't it be cool if comics were fun and interesting?

If the old man isn’t burned to a crisp, I am full willing to just call him a ghost for the rest of Funky’s run. Edit: given all the buildup and what we know of Batiuk’s writing, I think we’re in for a double fakeout on the fire killing any named characters. Everyone was always just a short drive to the marina to the north.

Is this guy in his 90s? Are people allowed to live that long in the Funkyverse? (Also, the only reason I know about The Phantom Empire was being Shout Factory was showing it on their streaming service a couple of days ago. It is BONKERS.)
