Jerry Dumas talks about this a bit in his foreward to the Fantagraphics edition: Jerry Dumas posted:When Sam's Strip started, on October 16, 1961, there were no copy machines, or no good ones, anyway. All the Sam's Strips were drawn from scratch, laboriously penciled and inked, and research took a great deal of time. I took pride in copying an artist's work exactly, even Tenniel's Alice in Wonderland drawings.But doing this strip took way more time than drawing a normal strip. The week we did a comics convention, with dozens of old comic characters in each strip, it took me three weeks to turn out one week of dailies. It was fun, and it felt like an accomplishment, but it was exhausting. Some fellow cartoonists were surprised to discover that I wasn't cutting and pasting.

Is Cayla the only prominent* minority character in Funky Winkerbean? Because she only just seems to exist as a prop to have people talk at her about their problems and so Batiuk can claim diversity in his cast. *Only prominent because Les Moore keeps reappearing to hog the spotlight. PetraCore posted:Yeah I'm really uncomfortable with how much he focuses on the 6 year old versions of his OTP. It's a little triggering to me. I agree. If it's not focusing on the two of them, it focuses on 6-year old Edda wanting to know every single detail about sex. 9CL isn't even hate-read material, it's just really gross. Ugh, even if you had notes on how you want your wedding to go, you still need someone to help you handle all the details. We even had this happen in Kevin and Kell, with Kell blackmailing her sister to help with the wedding. Not to mention that it's selfish how Dethany's not even bothering to ask her boyfriend for input on their wedding plans (though Holbrook would just make a joke about how women are the only ones interested in it while the men just stand around uselessly). That last panel makes Dethany act like she's above everyone, so that tracks. And ![]() And then everyone suffocated to death because DNA Wizard hosed up the air scrubbers. The End.

I know trying to make logical sense of a Heathcliff strip is asking for trouble, but shouldn't his car be made from fish bones or a trashcan? That seems more Heathcliff-like than a big hock of ham.

If the air scrubbers in Safe Havens couldn’t handle a single cat’s shedding, I have no idea how they survived with a whole crew of humans and two dodos who later turned into dogs.

Honestly, the dude can't draw children and definitely can't write children's dialogue. If there's nothing to give you scale, the only way you can tell this isn't high school is whether Edda's wearing socks or stockings.
