Thanks for posting vintage comics. I remember reading the Calvin & Hobbes collection with commentary by Watterson, he kept talking about how comics used to have huge pages of beautifully drawn, watercolor illustrations of dream imagery and flights of fancy, and I never got what he meant until I saw Dream of the Rarebit Fiend. Mama's Angel Child in particular is really gorgeous, just lushly drawn, flowing fashions and expressive characters. It's a shame that newspaper comics have devalued art so much that poo poo like Dilbert gets published, although talented artists haven't gone away, they've just moved to the indie scene.

It annoys me that Luann the comic has spent however many years insisting on Gunther. "Oh you think he's a loser, well he's actually super nice, and creative, and attractive, and popular". We get it, he's gonna wear Luann down and Urkel his way into her heart, just marry them off already and get it over with

Buddy, this guy went nuts on the Working Daze wikipedia page to the point where he pretty much got banned from editing the page.

This is what it looked like at its "height". You'd think this was some universally known and loved comic, not something that only the commenters and us know about.

God those character descriptions. 2/3's of the female characters are witches who will curse you if you look at them the wrong way. The others are "pretty and knows it" and "jealous others are more popular". He spends 5 paragraphs talking about the nuances of drawing Rita.
No wonder he has no energy left at the end of the day for stuff like "jokes" or "drawing things other than clothing folds"

I'm seein' double here! Four Gunthers!

Meanwhile the courts stay open no matter what the weather's like and court staff don't have the option to stay home unless they don't want to get paid
