RoboRodent posted:Anthropomorphic clam. Before he lost his mind, Johnny Hart was pretty funny. As a kid in the early 70s both B.C. and the Wizard of Id were a hoot. My mother could not get enough of the running (heh) gag about clams. Clumsy Carp was forever trying to figure out how clams moved. Of course, it was B.C. that learned the truth...

Mikl posted:Classic Kevin and Kell (September 9-13, 1996) As a parent when this strip actually ran: Chalk the the LGBTQ tone-deafness up to the times. Through that lens, I see the angsty teenager being super-edgy to annoy his folks. With respect to the card, her instructions were to kill whomever was running the site. Probably literally. She was able to avoid that and still do her job. And help the kids. PainterofCrap fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Sep 15, 2020 |

Green Intern posted:Brenda Starr never fails to make my head hurt. When they're drawn like this - with this level of detail, and differing from the regular cast - I think the artist is taking someone from life, the way Dick Tracy has a Claudette Colbert caricature in the one story arc. Wondering who it is. It's WWII, and films set in Cuba / South America starring Carmen Miranda were A Thing at the time.

Mikl posted:It takes literally five minutes of my day to post Classic Kevin and Kell, sometimes ten if I want to add a bit of commentary, so it costs me nothing to keep going. As long as there's an audience (and I'm still in this thread) it'll get posted. Well, I have always found it endearing, pretzel logic or no. Perhaps I'm just easily amused.

Some Guy TT posted:Curse you and your ninja edit LingcodKilla. I'm so used to that region being called the Rust Belt it never occurred to me that anyone would call it something else. I'm curious about what was yelled in panel 3 of the first set. Is it just <yells> or does he actually say something? And yes, I had no trouble translating, "HRAAAAAAAAAAAAP!" in the meeting.  Also: have only heard of the "mideast" used to refer to the "middle east." That one cartoon appears to be Sauda Arabia/UAE. based on the tower-like structures - but who knows. If you want to send your salesman to a far-away place where there are a lot of rabbits, send him to Australia. He could have had a lot of fun with that, too.

O god. I forgot about the unfunny travesty that was Miss Peach. With respect to Mr. Milquetost's theatrical proclivities, a little digging turned up - not a play, but a silent film: Gesetzeder Liebe , released in 1927, that covered quite a wide range of sexual issues and orientations. Which must have been an interesting challenge without sound. Would love to know if it had its own sheet score. https://www.filmaffinity.com/uk/film410186.html It ran under titles such as, "The Laws Of Love" in the US...and, in Austria, "Sexualkatastrophe" and starred a number of popular actors, including forums favorite, Conrad Veidt.
