I got some of the books but not nearly all of them, and they're always good to read.

In your post, it looks like this: [timghttps://imgur.com/Q1EZZzr].jpg[/timg] The second bracket is misplaced: it should be right after the timg tag. But now that you say that, it makes me wonder if it's my old as hell tablet that won't understand it. If that's the case, please disregard my post and keep doing your good work

I just want to say, DTWoF is interesting but those context snippets are what make it really, really shine. They are great to read even if you are far removed from both the theme, time and place. Great job!

Another lurker reporting in to just say thanks you to everyone who's been posting old and new comics. As someone who did not grow up with them (except the classics like Calvin, Peanuts or Garfield) it has been interesting to read the mishmash of ages, stories and contexts being provided here. You guys do a really good job of livening up those stories, and I'd be sad if the thread stopped - but then again, I think I'd try to adapt to a new format. The forum news are just awful in every way and I feel a bit sick for supporting this state of things, truth be told. But I am sticking here, for now.

Eighty-three years old comic, still completely relevant today (see: masks and COVID, but also a depressingly big number of workplaces and labs)

Which is, to me, what I found a tad unbelievable in here: even I as a completely oblivious 13 years old knew something was very wrong with dad (though not what). Regardless, yeah, this strip still paints a great picture and has been really hitting me in the guts.

this is bringing up some memories of my parents keeping me and my siblings in the dark about how bad my mom's cancer was.

Yeah, don't put poo poo on an aquarium taht doesn't belong underwater (riverbed rocks and the like). Chances are it'll dissolve into something nasty, or raise your salinity or water hardness to toxic levels.

Adnor posted:In honor of Joaquín Salvador Lavado Tejón, better known as Quino, one of the greats of LatAm comics, here are some of his not Mafalda comic strips, which were published in the supplement of newspapers, I don't have the exact dates: Quino was awesome, some of his non-Mafalda strips are masterpieces of imagination and composition. They also, while not overtly crushing, tend to have a hint of sadness arou mind them, like the first one here. He also looked at his most famous, worldwide-known Mafalda comic strip when on the height of his fame, and went "you know, I have no more ideas for it. I am stopping before I foul it", and he did. The full run is just nine years ('64-'73). It is still being sold today. EDIT: you know what, social media is swarming with Quino art today. Here's some more of it.  (Title is "Parallel lives", last bubble says "what a country")  (Originally intended as a social commentary on Argentinian law courts, it'd still work on many places on this day and age)  Shellception fucked around with this message at 22:15 on Sep 30, 2020 |

Poil posted:The US doesn't have this? Wait, of course they don't. Thought the same. Units over here aren't always internally consistent (e.g. you can get one price in €/gram and another in €/kg just because) but they're required by law, and most of the time you get something rational and comparable. It's pretty useful!

Awesome finding, thank you! Two notes to this: back titles of the magazines in this image are all from real publications of the time. As far as I know, ABC, Mundo and El Sol were newspapers (the former two are still being published today), Blanco y Negro is a Sunday supplement to ABC (which was really popular at the time of this publication), La Lidia probably talked about bullfighting issues, there are shoutouts to the titular publication of Buen Humor and also, more importantly, there are Chiquilín and TBO. Those two were some of the oldest children's magazines being published in Spain. Chiquilín was very short-lived, but TBO (a false acronym, as the letters apparently do not stand for anything) was published from 1917 to 1983 and latter "revived" under other publishing seals until 1998. TBO was so popular that it shaped the Spanish perception of periodically published, one-page based comic magazines, and the term "un tebeo" (literally Te-Be-O, how the magazine's name was pronuncied) became the officially accepted name for those kind of comics, even being accepted by the Real Academia de la Lengua. Although around here those publications took a nosedive and disappeared during the 80-90's (same time the latter TBO finally died), the word still remains in use. The second note is that, based in a very quick Google search, arount 52.5% of spanish were illiterate in 1920. This number was even higher for the elderly, the poor and for women, of course; they were expected to get a very basic education and then move on to basic, manual jobs or raising kids. So this old lady would not have been a rare sight in 1924 by any means. My grandma, who was born in 1915 to a rather poor family, was considered to have been very lucky because she got to stay in school until she became 14 and apprenticed to a seamstress.
