I like this subtle confirmation that these incredibly situationally specific children's songs that Miss Bliss keeps singing are songs that already exist and are well known in this universe. She is not making them up as she goes along.

Isn't the joke that the parents also went to Miss Bliss' daycare when they were children? Or am I thinking of Peppa Pig...

Is this meant to be the rain stopping because the dog barked?
Maybe you should have drawn the rain falling below the invisible line in the first panel?

It's just had the normal four in all the comics I've seen it in.

I always wanted to like Prince Valiant as a kid, because I could tell its style of pseudo-historical fantasy was right up my alley. Unfortunately, even then it had forty or fifty years of backstory that was totally inaccessible to me, and the way it's written more as an illustrated story than a more typical comic strip made it seem really wordy. I'm genuinely grateful to have the chance to come back to it as an adult. The old strips are fantastic and the modern team still does a great job with it, in my opinion. Even if the story never grabs you, the art is very good, in both Foster's classic strips and the modern ones.

Also, at least in my paper it was printed in an undeservingly tiny space.
When you scan a whole page at a nice res you can really appreciate it.

Dykes to Watch Out For #111 (1991)

WATS is pretty infer-able from context, but just for completeness:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Area_Telephone_Service

But also from that:

quote:

During the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S., activist organizations such as SNCC used WATS as a convenient way for eyewitnesses on the ground to convey information quickly. Notes from these phone calls were compiled into "WATS Line Reports" and mailed to civil rights leaders, the media, the Justice Department, and others involved in the events.[11] WATS was also how organizations communicated with local leaders across the country. A "Bay Area Friends of SNCC" newsletter in 1965 described WATS:

The WATS (Wide Area Telephone Service) line is the heart of all SNCC security and communications. For a flat monthly rate, an unlimited number of calls can be dialed directly to any place in the country � or the state � depending on what line one uses. The Jackson office has a state-wide line, the Atlanta office has the national WATS line. Both run on a 24-hour basis. A project worker can call in news of any incident, threat or major activity to the Jackson office. The WATS operator there takes down the details and relays it to Atlanta if the event is of national importance. In the case of a threat or incident involving Federal laws, Jackson will notify the FBI and the Justice Department. Atlanta uses its national WATS line to notify SNCC groups around the country.[12]

Edit: gently caress; Beaten.

2020 jokes are pretty overdone but this is an original one (to my knowledge at least) and I appreciate that it doesn't beat you over the head with labels explaining the joke like a Kelly cartoon.
