Parahexavoctal posted:One of the interesting things about this thread is reading early material from decades-old strips, and seeing how the cartoonists had completely different ideas about the characters - compare early Charlie Brown and early Cathy to how both characters were at the height of their popularity, for instance. Keep that in mind when you read this installment of The Timid Soul, which was published on October 22, 1924 (Wikipedia says TTS was launched "circa 1925"). In 1925, radio was extremely new, the first broadcast station having started in November 1921. It wasn’t unusual for people to contact radio stations to brag about how far away they were getting the signal. George Burns told a story about how once he met a fan who started gushing at him about how she had heard his show the previous night, “and the most amazing thing was - I talked to my sister in New York, and she heard the exact same show too!”

When talking about our college radio station in Portland a common boast was "and if the weather is just right we can be heard all the way in Vancouver." Took me until senior year to realize they meant Vancouver Washington, right across the river, instead of Canada.

Dykes to Watch Out For #118 (1991) Not a flattering moment for Mo and one of the central moments I think of when people paint the strip as transphobic on account of Mo's poor judgment and ignorance later on. We'll see this plot develop over the next little while, and it segues into a very big turn for the series as a whole a little further down the line. In 1991 a neuroscientist, Simon LaVey, published a paper suggesting that a cluster of brain cells-- or rather, the relative size of that cluster-- might influence or even determine sexual orientation (being about twice as large in straight men as in gay men or in women of any orientation), spurring a flurry of heated op-eds and gave a welcome black-eye to those who argued that homosexuality was a "choice." This research was often glibly reduced in the press to being about "the Gay Brain," hence I presume the newspaper headline in this strip focusing on the real outlier and turning the rhetorical gaze around. LaVey's paper broke into public attention in late August of 1991 so we can potentially pin this strip down to late Summer or so.

Classic Kevin and Kell (December 1-5, 1997)     If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time it's mentioned that Rudy is half fox. Also, by doing a bit of math, he was five when his dad died, so he probably just barely remembers him at this point (which is a bit sad).

Buni Pickle hats? Must be Chicago. Rhymes with Orange  Get Fuzzy 11/17/00  Brenda Starr 5/21/44  It's like an episode of I Love Lucy with two Lucys. Smokey Stover 11/27/38  Edge of Horniness  I was all set to ding Jam for including yet another non-native species, but apparently there are some rhinos living in Malaysia. So, point for him. Richard's Poor Almanac  A bunch of DC local color here. Rock Creek Park is DC's biggest park area (Teddy Roosevelt used to go skinny dipping there!). Snakehead fish are an invasive, predatory species that first turned up in the US in Maryland and the Potomac River in the early 2000s. Glebe Road is a long, twisty road that runs through northern Virginia, repeatedly changing its name along its length; it helped make navigating the area even more of a pain in the pre-GPS days. And Peirce Mill is an 18th-century grain mill that was in the middle of a 14-year-long restoration process when Thompson drew this.

Mikl posted:Classic Kevin and Kell (December 1-5, 1997) Considering how Rudy barely remembers his dad, Kell thinking he's trying to kill an elk on his own out of some act of revenge is complete loving nonsense, especially since it's already been mentioned that the reason he's struggling so desperately is that he'll lose his girlfriend if his team loses. Also, I'd have respected this more if the team's win was overturned because officials found out that Lindesfarne helped Rudy win, but that would require Holbrook realizing how he makes the "good guys" complete hypocrites.
