Thanks for pointing out. That's really handy. No need to use extra scripts with gocomics any more.

Is it hard to save strips off gocomics or whatever? I could make a bookmarklet to grab the image file easily enough if it would help comics posters.

Holy crap, did Ed actually apologize for being a knob? Is that a first?

Continuing our scan of the before-Skippy times gives us Ellison Hoover's contribution to a newspaper "burlesque" issue. (September 7, 1922)



I do not understand this at all but I like it.

Folks in this thread might enjoy this Twitter account that has been reposting Jucika strips.

Jucika is a mostly wordless Hungarian newspaper strip from the 50s and 60s about the titular single woman. There are strong Mopsy vibes, except Jucika is probably less likely to kill someone, and rather than soldiers the men in her world are harmless simps. There is occasional cartoon nudity but the strip is still a wholesome one.

If I had the source I'd post it -- but I don't, and reposting someone else's Twitter feed seems silly, so I'll just leave some samples.

The linked comic could be a Super-Fun-Pak crossover. It's totally on-brand :allears:

I really need to go read the SGR archives one day.

Sometimes Mary Worth functions as a PSA for the middle aged and senior which is why I think she has hypothyroidism.

No, no, she obviously caught Wilburitis from the double date. It's only a matter of time before she's singing in the shower.

This is a good one. Dogs really are dumb assholes that will always eat things that kill them.

Hey, someone had a good trip for once. And here I thought this was just anti-drug propaganda.

... Huh?

It's the painful wait when you're hungry at a yakitori/korean bbq/etc. restaurant but you have to wait for the meat to cook.

It is far worse than waiting at a restaurant normally because your brain is excited by the act of a server bringing you a plate of food, and because you have nothing to do except stare at the food that you can't yet eat for several minutes.

This one cut me deep.

I hadn't thought about this until you posted it, and I'm really glad this adventure ended this way, even though I'm not a fan of the "I'm not going to kill you, but I don't have to save you" sophistry.

I think Modesty is my favourite adventure strip.

One thing I really like about Modesty Blaise is that the tension is all over the map. Unlike most villain-of-the-week stories it doesn't strictly follow the formula of crisis -> seems hopeless -> miraculous save -> happy ending

Some villains aren't as threatening and once in a while there are downright pushovers. It makes the episodes where they do face off against a recurring endboss all the more thrilling.

Kinda surprised Modesty didn't have anything to say about Willie killing two dudes in cold blood there. Usually she's against that sort of thing. But I guess she did watch them knock off Prue.

I think the problem is that he doesn't know how to draw character to look younger than their mid 20's or so. They always just look like drawings of adults but then he clicked select all and squished down.

No, no, it's definitely better like that :gonk:
