Finally we've ditched Dirk. I'm looking forward to a new terrible boyfriend next strip.

I know the narrator’s question is rhetorical, but I’m pretty sure the last decade has proven that the answer is definitively “minorities.”

What kind of a name is "Deer"? Couldn't they have translated it, or at least come up with something vaguely Egyptian? Not that Egypt is anything but the prologue.

It could be a nod to Ibis the Invincible, a Mandrake-like guy who is in ancient Egypt and has to undergo suspended animation so that he can fight crime in the distant exotic future of the 1940s.

Oh boy, can't wait to find out how this new place is terrible and filled with murderous assholes. God, just fire this rear end in a top hat already. Someone who gets mad that people dare to not know his exploits as band director 50+ years ago should not be in charge of anything. Hostile V posted:In regards to Funk: so, uh, don't churches collect alms and poo poo for upkeep of the building and its facilities and programs, and wouldn't the choir fall under that? Yeah, it does, but once again Batiuk hasn't put any basic research into what he's putting in his comic.

 She hired a drat harpist? I have no idea how much an evening of fancy harpistry goes for, but Tiff remembers she's only getting paid $300, right? So help me, if the "punchline" to this storyline is "After all the expenses, I'm fifty bucks in the hole! *wah* *wah*," I'll... well, I probably won't do anything. But it'll be annoying.

PetraCore posted:Yeah but to be fair Mikko is like, what, 3 years old? I guess maybe 4-5 if school is being talked about? Sari isn't much older, Mikko could have very easily picked a horrible and dangerous hiding spot. School begins at 7 in Finland, of course in other countries they force kids into school even earlier which is pretty horrible IMO.

-ing at Sulo and Anni being just as horrible here. They see where Mikko's hiding and their first thought is to be happy they can keep him for a while longer, not immediately return him to the distraught mother. gently caress, Anja hasn't been gone for more than a few minutes, they could still totally catch her if they want to. I don't know if the characters were always meant to be flawed or not, but this slide to misery has painted a lot of previously charming characters into huge jerks.

In a book with a copywrite date of 1927, I found a 4 page pamphlet for a costume rental store in St. Louis. Looking over the lists, I found two entries that I recognized. Buster Brown and Happy Hooligan. Unfortunately, there are no pictures, just lines of texts. I also am not posting actual pictures of it in here, as given the time period (1920s-1930s?) there is *ahem* not quite kosher costume titles in there.  Here is the front page though.Sometimes you can't date something directly, it is both fun, and irritating to try and date something from indirect means. quote:The comic strip began in the New York Herald on May 4, 1902. Outcault left for William Randolph Hearst's employ in January 1906, and after a court battle, Outcault continued his strip, now nameless, in Hearst papers, while the Herald continued their own version of Buster Brown with other artists. The latter lasted until January 1911, and Outcault's version until May 13, 1923 I had been wondering if the pamphlet was older than the book itself. Considering It lists Buster and Happy, that sets a max age. Happy Hooligan started in 1900, and ended 1932.  21-year old dwarf actor "Master Gabriel" plays the title role of Buster Brown, with George Ali as Tige, in the 1905 Broadway production. Edit: It has a "Panhandle Pete" costume, and that guy was active in the 1930s and 40s. Johnny Aztec fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Apr 14, 2021 |

His Divine Shadow posted:They didn't know, only Sari knew. I meant that while they didn't knew that Mikko ran away or where he hid himself, their first reaction after seeing him wasn't "oh poo poo, this is where he was! we better get in the car and go after his mom!", it was "Awww, we can have a son for another month!" Sari popped open the trunk as soon as Anja went away, so it's not like Sulo couldn't give chase if he really wanted to. The way they reacted to this mess by being happy for themselves just rubbed me the wrong way. Always be voting, you jerks.
