Surely they would have taken the necklace off of him with the rest of his valuables.

I think the conceit is that since it's made of iron it doesn't seem worth taking. Maybe Foster should have added a panel of them mocking Val for wearing it and giving it back. "Another chain for the prisoner to wear!" or something like that. Or, sure, maybe the real charm makes it so that he doesn't lose his saw once captured.

And now, a rock block of Luann!



1. Because he is Luann's sort-of boyfriend, and not Bernice's

2. Because Luann is the person he is texting, and not Bernice




A surprise fish with no tank or supplies given to a recently unemployed person. This fish is about to be so loving dead.




We know from Bernice's consequence-free expreience with Piro that she is willing to do heinous unethical privacy-intruding poo poo to stalk a dude she has a crush on, but what if that dude is the sort-of-boyfriend of her best friend that she hates? Hmmm.

For real? That explains absolutely everything, including the fact that Piro vanished into thin air after kissing Bernice without asking for her hand in marriage first.

Googling around for anything related to something this entertainingly batshit produced a lead: a paywall'd article in a database about Greg Evans making a series of pamphlets called 'The Luann Health Series', which was enough of a hint to find some titles documented in the listings of the comic collection of the Michigan State University libraries.

Less comprehensively, Journeyworks Publishing has a PR .pdf for Luann's Adventures in Health! still located somewhere on their website.

I call not it. :v: But if someone does take up the torch, the Special Collections listing for the comic collection says:

quote:

The Comic Art Collection holds over 300,000 items. Most of these items are American comic books, but also included are over 1,000 books of collected newspaper comic strips, over 50,000 international comic books, and several thousand books and periodicals about comics. The international comics are especially strong in the areas of European, Latin American, and Asian comics.

The collection contains comics published as early as the 1840s up to the present day. Although some archival materials are held, the focus of the collection is on published work in an effort to present a complete picture of what the American comics readership has seen, especially since the middle of the 20th century.

A collection of this size and scope would not be possible without donations from our generous supporters over the years. Though we do purchase some comics, the majority of our collection was acquired through gift-in-kind donations.

Stephen O. Murray and Keelung Hong Special Collections is home to the largest and most comprehensive collection of comic books in the world, but our work doesn’t end with collecting. We are also committed to maintaining organization of this massive collection and preserving it for many years to come so that is remains accessible for research. The comics are searchable through the library’s online catalog, and they are stored in an environmentally-controlled location in state-of-the-art mylar sleeves for protection.

Everyone is welcome to visit the Special Collections Reading Room to research and enjoy the comics during open hours.

For more information, please contact Randall Scott, Comic Art Bibliographer.
Furthermore, the Comic Art Collection home page lists an email of comics@msu.edu so you can feel free to pick your poison.
If someone does think this is worth trying and does it, probably best to tell the thread so poor Randall doesn't get swamped by 20 separate requests demanding he turn over his Luann pamphlets at once.

It seems very unlikely to me that they would, or that they could send one to just anyone who mails in and asks. I know at my library we wouldn't. (Well not officially. If it was me I'd pop it on the scanner in my lunch hour and tell you you didn't get it from me.)

Although for anyone who wants to try, here's a link to their catalog record, they're gonna want to know that frankly ludicrous call number to do anything.

RE Howard, The Tower of the Elephant posted:

Taurus threw the line with a smooth, ripping motion of his mighty arm. The hook curved upward and inward in a peculiar manner, hard to describe, and vanished over the jeweled rim. It apparently caught firmly, for cautious jerking and then hard pulling did not result in any slipping or giving.

"Luck the first cast," murmured Taurus. "I -"





RE Howard, The Tower of the Elephant posted:

"It will bear thrice my own," answered Taurus. "It was woven from the tresses of dead women, which I took from their tombs at midnight, and steeped in the deadly wine of the upas tree, to give it strength. I will go first - then follow me closely."





A couple interesting little changes there, seemingly to make Taurus both a little more competent and a little less amoral. They also cut a bit where after they make the climb they discover that the grapple had hooked onto a gem that should have been pulled free by their combined weight, and the note that luck was with them again.
