Rhymes with Orange is a gag-a-day strip by two women, Hilary Price and Rina Piccolo.  Retail is about the joys of working in a big-box store.  Get Fuzzy started 20 years ago and was pretty fresh and funny for its time, although the creator, Darby Conley, burned out quickly. This one is from 12/31/99.  I also post Buni, which comes up once or twice a week. I formerly posted Edge of Adventure, which has not updated since the start of December and may or may not be over. For the new thread, I've decided to stop posting Pros and Cons, which used to be a thread favorite. While it's still well-drawn and gets out the occasional good gag, over the last few years, it has been frequently lurching into right-wing rear end in a top hat territory.

Hobnob posted:There used to be a whole bunch of weird etiquette involving men and women, like when walking down the side of the street the man had to be closest to the middle, and what's more you should walk up the right side of the street so the woman would be on the right, as that was the more honoured position. It persisted long enough that I'd occasionally be corrected on it by my teachers (growing up in the UK in the 70s/80s). Huh. I always heard the rule was that the man should walk on the outside, closest to the curb, so the woman would be protected from any splashes if someone rode/drove through street mess too fast. And my favorite Outdated Encyclopedia Brown solution is the one where the crook claims he was at the bank cashing a check on a certain date, and Encyclopedia points out he couldn't possibly have done that because that date was a Sunday.

Discendo Vox posted:I had a suspicion, so I looked it up and there's a Ted Sklar practicing in New York who appears to have been the actual inspiration for this character in the comic. It appears likely Bill Hoest, the original creator of the comic, who was also a New Yorker, inserted him as the recurring Lockhorn attorney as a tribute. A couple other sites on the Lockhorns refer to him in passing as a "real life attorney". I'm a Long Islander, and the Hoests frequently use real LI businesses in the background of the strip (Aboff's paint store, the Canterbury Ales bar, etc.). My family occasionally socialized with a Sklar family when I was a kid, but I don't recall if any of them were named Ted.

Good Listener posted:I saw some of the book collections in the Kids books section of Target over the weekend and it made me happy. Dana seems like good people and I hope kids like the strip too. My daughter liked them when she was younger, but she's a teenager now so she thinks she's "outgrown" that sort of thing. I'm sure she'll learn better when she's older.

Well, from my memory of pop culture in the 70s and 80s, being "in therapy" was something that almost always marked a character as a pampered coastal elitist, usually from LA or NYC. There was an assumption that only people from those regions would be wealthy, egotistical, idle, and neurotic enough to need to see a psychiatrist regularly. And yes, people who were in therapy were always ready to drone on about what wonderful insights (and/or excuses for their lovely behavior) they had just learned from their therapist. As for the car in Sam's Strip, I thought at first it was Smokey Stover's Foo Mobile, but that only had two wheels. Rhymes with Orange  Retail  Get Fuzzy 1/23/00

Gloomy Rube posted:Dustin's artist is the creator of 'Gil', it's the author who has the crummy opinions. I think a goon got an email interview with them a couple threads ago about it. No, Dustin is drawn by the political cartoonist Jeff Parker. It's a bit of an odd collaboration, because Kelley is also a politoonist, and his cartoons are reliably right-wing boomer grumbling, but Parker is firmly left-wing. I guess a paycheck is a paycheck, though.
