Some Guy TT posted:How much trouble was it for you to make this? Did you just take a picture with your phone and move it over to imgur? Because my immediate thought upon seeing this was that this was a crazy efficient way to post mid-tier comics most people wouldn't want to go to the trouble of hosting individually, and a surprisingly high number of them provoked in-thread discussion. The LA Times puts up a PDF here. But after a certain number of page views they ask you to login with a subscription. Many papers have this option, so if anyone has a subscription to one it'd be relatively easy to pull the comics.

Dark Laughter wikipedia posted:Oliver Wendell Harrington (Ol’ Harrington) was an American cartoonist and an outspoken advocate against racism and for civil rights in the United States. Of multi-ethnic descent, Langston Hughes called him "America's greatest African-American cartoonist". Harrington remembered how cartoons in the New York Daily News depicted black faces as simply "a circle, black with two hotdogs in the middle for a mouth. . . It was a conscious effort on my part to change that at least in my drawing. The black had to disappear. The rubber lips had to disappear" He was 23 years old when Dark Laughter started. Dark Laughter started in the Amsterdam News, Harlem’s most popular African American Newspaper at the time. My source for those panels is ProQuest, not the best quality scans. I'll retype the captions - some of them are hard to read. June 8, 1935 (click for big)  “Ah don’ min’ mahse’f, Brudder Jones, but it gits in de baby’s eyes.” August 10, 1935 (click for big)  “An’ tell ma to iron my wing collar fer de bridge tournament tonight.” Quality gets better in October 1938, when the strip starts running in The Pittsburgh Courier and the Indianapolis Recorder. October 1, 1938 (click for big)  June 10, 1939  I hope y'all enjoy it. And He Did. (May 23, 1917)  And he Died.

And He Did. (May 28, 1917) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoits I'd never heard of it. Outbursts of Everett True (August 14, 1917)  Hitz and Mrs. (April 30, 1923)  Dark Laughter (July 13, 1935, click for big)  “Aw, Officer, He’s Only Playin’” They'll Do It Every Time (February 10, 1941)  I’m rewinding Wee Pals a bit. This is what happens when you’re enjoying a deep dive into African American historical newspapers. Before Wee Pals, there was Dinky Fellas, Turner’s strip in his hometown Berkeley Post and in the Chicago Defender. At the same time, he ran additional strips in the Defender. Reverend Smiley (June 27 & August 1, 1964)   Sepia Smiles (May 30 & June 20, 1964)   I'd be surprised if this title is not an homage to Dark Laughter. Dinky Fellas starts in July of 1964 and from what I can tell, only ran until the end of that year. I can’t find an archive for the Berkeley Post, but I’ve pulled what I can from the Defender. Sources, including Wikipedia and Turner’s obit in The Washington Post mention that Dinky Fellas featured an all-black cast. That’s not true at all. There are a lot of similarities between it and Wee Pals, which premiered in May of 1965.  (July 27, 1964)

Discendo Vox posted:A style of jacket, apparently the term was also used for women's jackets- can't figure out the details of what it entails. I've also seen the term used to refer to shirts and bodysuits, so I'm struggling here. Any help? From what I could find, it was a casual sport coat with a half-belt in the back that hid additional pleats for greater range of movement. The jacket third from the right here is labeled as a "free swing back". And it'll cost you an extra $2.00.  Another "bi-swing back":

African Americans historically organized large numbers of translocal fraternal voluntary federations. In regions where blacks lived in significant numbers, African Americans often created more fraternal lodges per capita than whites; and women played a much more prominent role in African American fraternalism than they did in white fraternalism. Rivaling churches as community institutions, many black fraternal federations became active in struggles for equal civil rights.
