    Bushmiller was, literally and figuratively, hitting it out of the park in these 1949 comics. So many of them are little moments of comics perfection.

    Sluggo finally sees the Pleiades! (As an astronomy geek, I couldn’t resist such an esoteric joke. Sorry, most of you probably have to look it up.)

    Sluggo’s hoist on his own petard. He can’t believe it’s happening, because from where he’s standing, the ball’s just coming out at a weird angle.

    It’s the geometries of Bushiller’s drawing hands that have kept me a student Bushiller of the work for a very long time.

    For those with interests in the relations of geometry to language, panel #3 of today’s strip is a brilliant display of seven stars, seven floating lines, all with Bushillers geometric dynamic linking all of the four frames in sequence, a forward and a back, a pattern of back and a forward pattern. That pattern is not euclidean geometry, but close enough to become transparent to the figure/ground setups.

    Up and out from some of the resonated patterns are key patterns used in Euclidean geometry.

    I frequently applaud Bushiller’s use of geometries, both whole and broken versions.

    The geometries used in all four panels have a dynamic thrust-to-the-right shape, a thrust that can go either way, backward to the left, dynamically, and then forward to the right, or whatever possible range of exchange held positions can exist can become estimate, where permutations can become calculated.

    The panel shows a strip where the extremities of fiction reside with an intense emphasis on contrasting geometric patterns, such as an alternating pattern of small and large in scale areas.

    The strip is a semiotic masterpiece, in my humble opinion.
