Hm, that's true.

Perhaps the question Popeye should ask is, is the person in Mister Brown's body actually Mister Brown?

Twins. It's got to be twins. And the real Mr Brown is locked up somewhere, hence the moaning and refusing to call the cops

Ok, I've had enough and have to ask: why the hell does De Paul keep dropping "trusted man" into almost every strip? Is he really that proud of the name? If so, someone needs to tell him it's a really rubbish name if you want your character to seem badass.

See how a lot of people rag on the dialogue of Sally Forth, but personally I really like strips like the above. It has a refreshing tone with a slight degree of snark and a bit of meta thrown in.

Now there's a boomer joke you don't generally think of as such. Yeah, kids our day could fix computers, because that was what we had to use to do stuff. But kids these days grow up on tablets and cell phones with the same user-friendly interfaces designed for old people. In this day and age you can't even trust that a kid knows what a mouse or trackpad is, let alone where the settings are for fiddling with it.

Christ, reminds me of when I asked students to record audio files, convert them to .mp3 then rename them as [their student number].mp3. You'd think I'd asked them to create a steam engine from scratch with how difficult they found it, especially the renaming part.

I know I keep ragging on this comic but seriously: why does Deer have to stop this plot? Why does she care? She doesn't know what a Nazi is. She probably doesn't even know what London is.

This whole thing is like a series of tenuously connected viginettes with entirely separate main characters, linked by the domestic squabbles of birds.

And so...

The above notice appeared in the July 20 New York Daily News. And if you were a New Yorker, that was the last you saw of Deathless Deer.

Time magazine snidely noted that at the same time the NYDN was claiming paper limitations were forcing them to drop Deer, they also added three more pages of classified ads.

The Time article deserves posting in full because, oof, the writer really did not like Deathless Deer

Time posted:

Who stabbed Baba Waring, leading lady of Folliana, when the lights went out? Most New York Daily News readers probably don't care. Those who do will never know, because Publisher Joe Patterson murdered Deathless Deer (TIME, Oct. 19).

Deathless Deer was nine months old. Joe Patterson himself had fondly named her. She was the only new comic strip he had bought in nine years. The Deer herself was a beauteous Egyptian princess who in the fourth installment suffered death, then awakened 3,000 years later in a U.S. museum. From there she fared forth to undergo some of the dullest adventures ever seen in a comic strip.

Deer's demise was announced in a curt News box. The paper explained that it was forced to reduce editorial and advertising content because WPB had curtailed newsprint. Therefore, Deathless Deer must go. With her, in the issue of July 19, went Embarrassing Moments, Beauty Answers, Love Answers and the stockmarket column. The fact that the News had recently added a three-page classified ad section was not mentioned.

Last week the Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate informed 17 subscribing papers (circulation, plus the News's: about 6,000,000) that for them the strip would end Aug. 21. Deathless Deer's authors took it bravely. They are Joe Patterson's pretty, shrewd daughter Alicia and Artist Neysa McMein (magazine covers) They planned to wind up Princess Deer's present parlous situation (she is accused of stabbing Baba Waring), have her say to her lover in the final syndicate installment: "See you after the war." The ladies were whistling in the dark. Deathless Deer was perhaps the most ineptly drawn of all comic strips. The dialogue was stupid and corny. Newsmen settled down to betting on how long Joe Patterson could stand it. Finally, he gave up, and thus death, as it seldom does to U.S. comic strips, came to Deathless Deer.

Ok, so there's a lot of bad comics in this thread. At least with most of those, if they're trying to be funny but failing I can see what the author thought might be funny. Here though? I am utterly oblivious as to what the creator thought anyone would find funny in this dreck.

I'm picky English user. People who write "catsup" make me retch.

The earliest known use of the word was as "catchup" :eng101:

. "Ketchup" is also almost certainly a romanisation of a word from an Asian language from a time before romanisation was standardised so really anything goes.

The farmer is coaching youth rugby. The kids quit because of the rain. The dog offers to play with him. The All Blacks is the biggest team in New Zealand and possibly the sport and the wolves are a very old team based out of England.

But who? The only wolves I know of in England are Warrington, and they play rugby league, not union.

I cannot believe how confounded I am by this strip.
