McEldowney's view of women is really gross. Edda has just given birth to twins. A capable writer could have probably gotten something out of a storyline of "new mother of twins feels strange in her new role/body and needs to adjust" but McEldowney just... no. Edda could have just as well not been pregnant, it hasn't changed anything. And everyone in this comic is permanently horny, I don't understand why Edda feels the need to sex herself up. She could be a sentient sack of potatoes in a dark room and Amos would probably try to get it on.

Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise I really like the fashions in Modesty Blaise. Every character has a really unique style - even the hench men playing poker. Is Hagan's shirt leather? Super shiny, brown polyester? Either way it's fantastic! He looks like the worst pirate! Also thanks riderchop for posting Heathcliffe. It's completely bonkers bizarro world masquerading as normal, I love it.

Safety Dance posted:What's the story with the postwoman's uniform? I tried to find pictures of Finnish postal workers from the 50s - 70s, but they were all wearing regular uniform-y clothes. I think it might be a quilted jumpsuit?  Why? Dunno. Makes her look like an astronaut, so that's cool.

Some Guy TT posted:I'm not an expert on the subject but the attic seems like the least convenient possible place to put your sewing machine unless you're ignoring it for years at a time and don't even remember how to use it anymore. Lot of people use sewing machines to just mend stuff, which might not be very often, maybe just few times a year. And they are a bit pain to store if you don't have dedicated sewing space, since they are quite bulky, so attic isn't unreasonable in any way.

Slammy posted:Is this "Grandma"? She looks like such an archetypical grandma character, with that collared dress, jawbone loss, glasses and severe, white haired bun. It's interesting how that image of grandma character still exists in many comics and illustrations (both Rose is Rose and One Big Happy have echoes of it) even though I don't think there's that many grandmas in the real world sporting that look anymore. Does anyone's grandma look like that here? Or can you remember your grandma looking like that, if they have passed? Mine is 86 years old, and has always had her hair curled and dyed black. She also refuses to wear glasses and just squints all the time.

Worst thing about Edge of Adventure is how inconsistent (nonexistent?) the character designs are. Seriously, this is supposed to be the same guy every panel:  Compare any feature in any drawing to another, nothing looks the same: jawline, hairline, nose, eyes, mouth, everything changes wildly from panel to panel. It's like he hasn't even looked at his previous drawings when starting another one. (Also: Lol at the ol' anime eyes in panel 6) There's this weird aura of how he wants you to think that he's real good at drawing with superficial shadows and occasional crosshatching, but he can't even draw the same dude twice. Ito's design sucks as much:  Jam can't decide if he is youngish slim guy or old fat one. His moustache looks different every image.

Der Shovel posted:Pretty much yeah. It's a very old-timey way of talking to / about / around the help which you could hear in early 20th century Finnish movies or books for instance. It's also how some people talk to (or used to talk to, at least) kids, and maybe there's a connection there, some infantilization of the help. Have to return to Moominchat: it's not so much about infantilization of the help but being polite yet distant from the person you are talking to. Plural you and addressing in third person were common ways of talking respectfully, and some people argued that plural you should be only used towards people you are personally close to, like your parents. Which sounds insane because no one uses plural you towards their own mom or dad anymore. Or towards anyone hardly. Here's a interesting essay about it in Finnish. My mom used third person when talking to my dad's dad, who was born in 1916. It was an interesting quirk, but meant with utmost respect.

Julet Esqu posted:Surprise, surprise. Edda has no clue where her children are. Amos says they're nearby, but they're clearly not actually in the room with him since he didn't just point to them and say "Oh, they're right there." "Room"? There is no room. They live in a limitless white void, where sometimes pianos or staircases or creepy babies appear. Amos is hammering that nail into nothing.
