Medenmath posted:Vintage Valiant (May 04, 1941) The attention to detail is marvelous. The way he made a hammock out of his belt (other comics will ignore this entirely). The tentacle reaching out and tearing a piece of his cloth. Everything.

Parahexavoctal posted:Apparently it was believed in the late 19th / early 20th century that drinking too much cold water on a hot day could kill you. I think there's also a superstition in China that you shouldn't drink cold water? Might have a root in boiled water being safe(from bacteria, parasites, etc.), thus cold water is unsafe, which ended up embedding itself as a superstition after a while.

I know you've commented on the art getting more erratic in these later Corto Malteasers, but vaguely-popeye Corto here in the second-to-last panel is all worth it. riderchop posted:Rae the Doe's web archives ![]()

Something I like about Modesty and Willie. They trust each other to do the job they were assigned to do. No loving up the whole mission because one of them has the urge to go off-script to bail the other one out.

Kennel posted:Dustin Meg's room looks fine. The only personal living space a young person has should be comfortable to them. I know I shouldn't still be mad about Dustin after all these years but hearing from one kid that they have a new, positive goal and turning that around to poo poo on each of your kids just set me off today.

B Kliban ![]() ![]() By the middle of the 70s New York was a shithole and a prime example of a bad place you didn't want to visit. Times Square was full of strip clubs, hookers, drug dealers, and garbage. Unemployment was over 8% and there was an ongoing oil embargo making gasoline expensive and rare. Look for a few slice of life movies from the time set in the city to get a good idea how filthy it really was. Mean Streets is a great example. fondue fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Sep 20, 2020 |

Delany's Times Square Red/Times Square Blue which is in part a counterargument to this sentiment.

EasyEW posted:Crankshaft So this is interesting: normally this extremely tired joke format is a drawn-out setup to Crankshaft babbling out some malapropism as Jeff and Pam look on in disgust/goggle-eyed horror/despair, so you'd think maybe the idea here is that Crankshaft has misinterpreted a "roughing the passer" call as the linebacker's name. But! This is Tom Batiuk, who loves giving minor characters incredibly stupid punny names like "Hershey Barr" or "Bubu Zayla" (or, more obviously, "Les Moore"). So maybe the joke here is that the linebacker's name is actually Ruffin Depasser! But if that's the case, why the standard malapropism setup, and who could possibly think that name alone could be a punchline for an entire strip, let alone a Sunday strip? There are many possibilities here, but at the end all we really need to conclude is that Batiuk is a loving hack. In this issue of Life: Flapper Yardstick Seppuku!
