I've decided to fill two holes in this thread: Weekly strip Flash Gordon. Yes, that one. I'm starting from a year ago, since it provided a convenient starting point. I'll be posting two at a time until we catch up.   Old Newspaper Spider-Man. You know it. You love its delusions of adequacy. It's been running a really loving long time, and our friends in the Newspaper Spider-Man thread have assembled an archive of strips going all the way back to 1999. They're worth the read, but 18 years of strips at once is a slightly intimidating read. I'll be posting them at a more sane week at a time, starting with Peter facing the greatest villain of all: a TV psychologist.  (I loving love that they've been recycling the same Sunday headers since at least 1999)

Vargo posted:Is the Keefe that does the Flash Gordon strips the same Keefe who does the artwork for Sally Forth? If so, it's great seeing that clean art style used in a different genre. Sometimes you get hints in Sally Forth that the artist wants to be doing more than the fairly-static family discussions Francesco writes for him, and I think it's great seeing him go ahead and go full-on retro-serial style.

Gorilla Salad posted:Of course, his case would be helped if the momma's boy character wasn't being a total jerk right now.  Also, looking at the strip again, why the hell is Les's dad wearing a suit and tie to a cozy homecooked dinner? At least take the jacket off or something, jeez.

On the flip side, you'd be less likely to die from a grandpa who mixed up the gas pedal & brakes.  Too bad old people vote, and they're the ones mandatory retesting would piss off the most.

It helps that newspaper Spidey is, well, himself, and Rocket's just saying what we're all thinking.

You won't have to worry about the Kingpin any more!
But he's still here. You haven't done anything to stop him.

Alternate reading of Luann where Tiff is actually deeply insecure, and tries to project a cliche alpha bitch image in an effort to fake it until she makes it. Although pretty much all of Luann is better if you read it in any way but the way Greg intended.

Tiggum posted:I think we're going to need a diagram or something, because I can't figure this out at all. If traffic's moving left-right in that image then he can't pull into the intersection because he'd be blocking it. If traffic's moving up-down then pulling forward wouldn't do anything at all, he'd still be in front of the person he's in front of now. As far as I can see, all he can do is wait for the lights to stop traffic in both directions and allow left turns.  Pretend that green rectangle is a car, which would just pull through during the yellow phase. Doing that is insanely common everywhere I've lived, to the point where people just expect you to do it and get surprised/pissed if you don't. You can get away with pulling into the intersection in some city streets, too. It depends on how it's laid out and whether you're a big enough rear end in a top hat to block the crosswalk.

The men who get falsely accused (or correctly accused but it was only one time and maybe the woman was dressed provocatively or something)! 1999 Spider-#notallmen        "Careful Peter, one accusation is enough", still hands him the address without hearing any explanation for why he wants it.
