Alterian posted:The gently caress is going on with the art in this one? I had to check to make sure it wasn't an edit. Reminder: This is how Iris was drawn during the infamous double date, only two months ago: ![]() And at the beginning of the current "I'm fat and old" arc: ![]() She's been putting on weight FAST. The doc's darn right she needs her thyroid tested.

Just Dan Again posted:I'm so glad to see vintage Valiant posted here. A little while ago I broke down and picked up the first three volumes of the collection and there's nothing quite like having those strips in a huge, beautiful format. I always skipped Val in the Sunday funnies as a kid since I never knew what was going on, but these classic strips are exactly the kind of silly adventure stories I was looking for. The Fantagraphics reprints are gorgeous. They're really the format the art deserves. I'm also really glad to see the classic Valiant again - it was being posted in one of the previous threads, years ago, and left off right before Val met Aleta. I hope the thread gets to see that this time, because it's a great story arc.

Medenmath posted:You can date this storyline relatively precisely, since we will be meeting Valentinian and Aetius eventually. But I wouldn't worry too much about the timing of the strip in general, at least in the modern ones Islam is already on the rise so there's a good range of a couple hundred years in there. Plus the clothing, equipment, and architecture all range pretty broadly. Arthur's Camelot has a huge egg-shaped dome that would have been a catherdral-worthy project to build in the late Medieval period, for example, let alone in "Dark Ages" Britain. There will also be Vikings and a trip to North America eventually, so...

Doomykins posted:Prince Valiant: No Longer the Fun Kind of Murder Of course Val would hate this. His whole deal is making sure it's the other guy who dies.

EasyEW posted:More Near-Death Hallucinationsbean Oh poo poo, I actually know what TomBat's ripping off here, and it's a pretty deep cut. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom_Empire Medenmath posted:
Ice cold, Val! Granted, he was giving to that guy as that guy would have given to him, but still.

Shugojin posted:It's not really a ripoff, he's straight up said it's about that. The old man went out to see where something he loved when he was young was filmed and is now having some sort of hallucination because funkyverse is an undending hellscape of misery broken only by smug one liners That serial was from 1935. Is this guy in his 90s? Are people allowed to live that long in the Funkyverse? (Also, the only reason I know about The Phantom Empire was being Shout Factory was showing it on their streaming service a couple of days ago. It is BONKERS.)
