I really hope CK sticks with this guy he was born to do Popeye.


I hope they keep him too! Please let them know that you want them to hire him on to do Popeye; this was a month-long trial.

Sam Cooper: Still so very, very useless.

Each one of these feels like a hook to a story that isn't getting written. Like the only way James can keep the reader interested is by promising that the protagonist is going to go on an adventure. If James is doing this intentionally it'd be an amazing example of being meta. It wouldn't be any less dull.

This Luanne storyline is getting to me. Shannon comes across to me as a kid who has been ignored all her life and who is doing whatever it takes to get any sort of engagement at all. And the nominal heroes of this strip mostly can't be added if she isn't hurting herself or causing property damage.

And, again, she's acting out for attention because it's been denied to her for so long. Ignoring her unless she's hurt just sends her bad messages about how to get love. And even worse, her worth as a person.

In this installment of The Timid Soul, HT Webster wasn't quite clear on astronomical distances.



It might be a reference to people panicking about another comet visit.

quote:

https://www.wired.com/2015/01/fantastically-wrong-halleys-comet/
Throughout history, there’s always been a bit of panic when comets approached the sun, burning off into long, ominous tails. But in the months preceding Halley’s flyby of Earth on May 19, 1910, folks got real creative with their anxiety. It didn’t help that a few months earlier, The New York Times had announced that one astronomer theorized that the comet would unceremoniously end life as we know it.

He was a Frenchman named Camille Flammarion, and in typical French despair, he reckoned that as we passed through the comet’s tail, “cyanogen gas would impregnate the atmosphere and possibly snuff out all life on the planet,” The Times reported. Astronomers had detected the cyanogen in the tail using spectroscopy, which reveals an object's composition by analyzing the light coming off it. “Cyanogen is a very deadly poison, a grain of its potassium salt touched to the tongue being sufficient to cause instant death,” the paper wrote. To its credit, though, The Times noted that most astronomers did not agree with Flammarion.

The Dollop on it is worth a listen.

Classic Kevin and Kell (March 16-20, 1998)

I have no idea what the first strip refers to exactly. From the timing it could be the Lewinsky scandal, which first came to light in late January 1998; but that didn't involve a special prosecutor, the only special prosecutor who dealt with Clinton was Ken Starr, and that was about the Whitewater scandal, and as far as I can tell there were no significant news regarding that in early 1998.

Ken Starr couldn't find anything illegal about whitewater but he was still a special prosecutor so he kept trying to find anything that Clinton could be impeached for.
