Tiggum posted:For those who haven't been keeping up with Dick Tracy, the current team loves one thing above all else: Referencing old Dick Tracy characters. But second to that is crossovers. When Little Orphan Annie was cancelled mid-story the characters appeared in Dick Tracy to resolve it, and ever since then Annie, Warbucks, etc. have been recurring Dick Tracy characters. The Great Am was originally a Little Orphan Annie character, a mysterious immortal being who may or may not be God. The Spirit is from his own comic. A Tommy Westphall map of the newspaper comic universe would be a delight (I assume we're counting in-story stuff and not one-off gags like "every character from every relatively well-known comic strip comes in with everything for a HUGE party") JaggerMcDagger posted:I don't know how it does it, but Arlo and Janis strikes me as the most relate-able and realistic comic in the thread. It's really good at it. I could swear I remember it being said once that The Family Circus was less about telling jokes and more about just presenting moments, scenarios, and slices of life that its audience would find familiar and relate to. Arlo and Janis pulls off the very neat trick of being both relatable and genuinely funny. Don't get me wrong, I love cranky, dysfunctional, mean-spirited strips like Andy Capp (whose linework and layouts I'll go to the mat defending) and The Dinette Set (which... not so much) — and maybe that's why Arlo and Janis has become my favorite newspaper strip: these characters are obviously best friends, still very much in love, and imperfect but genuinely good people without being caricatures. I can't really think of any other strip that's worked that beat for as long or as well.

Just when we're speaking of crossovers—! Arlo and Janis  Arlo and Janis Classic (Oct. 31, 1994)  ETA: Credit Where It's Due Dept. Good Listener posted:I think I finally realized that 9CL is a strip full of characters and plots that literally no one can relate to. Not even the cat. Don't ask why this took me until 2017 to realize. I generally like the cat strips in 9CL. I think the rest of the strip is terribly self-indulgent, glacially-paced, and I honestly can't imagine anyone looking forward to it, but the occasional "hallmarks of felinity" strips are fine. Related to what I was saying yesterday, they're less "funny" than "relatable", but I think it's perfectly fine for something's only function to be a pleasant reminder of something that makes you happy. "Something's only function being a pleasant reminder of something that makes you happy" of course can be taken to its extremes, e.g. the conspicuous consumption of plastic junk targeted at nerds who build their lives around signifying to themselves and others that they Like A Thing, which brings us neatly to Intelligent Life. And, again, more credit where it's due: I think the secondary characters have improved lately. Why not show Gwen getting into fantasy football with Barry with the same hyperbolic zeal most of the cast shows for putting loving Boba Fett helmets on things?

Arlo and Janis Arlo and Janis Classic (Nov. 2, 1994)  Has anyone that uses GoComics as their source (as I do) tried out "the new GoComics"? (example) They're certainly trying to make image saving and sharing outside the usual banal social networks more difficult.
