Pigsfeet on Rye posted:I've never watched the movie, do they go into the grimness that followed? The 1935 film was a direct adaptation of the 1932 novel Mutiny On The Bounty. The book was followed by two sequels - Men Against the Sea (what happened to Bligh and the loyal crew) and Pitcairn's Island (what happened to the rest of the muntineers), but those didn't make it to film. Probably because both would be hard to do with the then-new Hays Code in effect.

Darthemed posted:Docks This is well-timed given For Better or Worse chat. I remember Johnston taking this exact same premise and it ending with the dad screaming at Michael to do the chore, with Michael as being stupid and/or ungrateful. It's an interesting juxtaposition, because the granddad in Boondocks being abusive is actually in character. But MacGruder gets, unlike Johnston, that the joke is funnier when taken from the kid's point of view and of course the kid's going to interpret open-ended statements like this in a way that involves him doing the least amount of work.

I get what they mean but in my head "when I grow up" is something you say as a preteen, not as a 15-year-old. Hell, 15-year-olds are professional political activists these days. Not a big deal, just a note on the creators' and target group's perception of 15-year-olds.FrumpleOrz posted:Ella Cinders

I've been super busy adjusting to teaching online and also hammering away at dissertation revisions so I haven't had a ton of energy to post over the past few days, so here are two Ruthless Rhymes. There are not a ton of these-- or at least, I don't have a ton of them-- so I'll get back to DtWOF when I run out. Ruthless Rhymes for Martial Militants (8/21/1913, 8/24/1913) ![]() ![]() So once again we see that Harding is writing within the context of the UK-- which kind of makes sense, since the foreign and remote activism of British suffragettes were much more aligned with these characters than their US counterparts (Alice Paul's National Woman's Party wasn't founded until 1916, and boasted tactics much closer to Pankhurt's than those of earlier American suffrage groups), but also odd since Harding was an American artist publishing in the Brooklyn Eagle. It's not really a mystery but it is a little off-putting. You'll also note a tendency in the earlier strips really start to come to the forefront here-- none of Harding's suffragette figures are very conventionally good looking. He draws them as either stout and bulky in an "unfeminine" way, like the older woman in the second strip here and the very muscular, athletic looking brick-thrower, goofy and gangly looking like the young torch-wielding girl, or very eccentric, elderly, ungainly characters . The suggestion is that these politically radical women who want to usurp the civic prerogative and social position of men are in fact the failed-states of femininity-- ungraceful, unladylike, unwieldy, unable to inhabit or fulfill the roles they seek to reject. The intense misogyny of Hardin's polemical point begins to dovetail with the aesthetics of the comic. That being said, I still think these ladies rule.

I think lawyers do actually have very granular methods to log time spent on tasks. more to the point though, Ed, gently caress off, do it yourself if you think it's not worth hiring an expert. or get Dustin to do it and get angry when he (not being an expert) fucks it up, that's more in line with your real emotional needs anyway

FrumpleOrz posted:Kevin & Kell I'll be back later today to post Classic Kevin and Kell, but I want to point out something. This strip (and a few other strips in the future), as the 25th anniversary celebration of the comic, will feature all major patrons, one per day, wishing Lindesfarne happy birthday. No, not PATREON, PATRON. Kevin and Kell has a patron system set up on its own website, in which people can sponsor it by sending Holbrook money through PayPal. Major patrons are those who buy into the highest tier, which has the best perks. What are those perks? Glad you asked!
All of the above, for the low low price of $500 per year or $40 per month (a whopping $20 saving!). What are you waiting for? Call now!
