    Truth. Nice urban landscape: would work well as a copper-enamel piece.

    Re: ONE WAY TICKETTeenage Devil Dolls (1955)AKA One Way Ticket to HellPert and pretty high school teen Cassandra Leigh (Barbara Marks) opts for the easy life of a pot-smoking biker in order to avoid the demands of her neurotic career mom (Lucille Price). When Cassandra’s grades slip and her college plans fall by the wayside, she marries a love-smitten high school swain (Robert Norman). The devotion of her husband bores the young bride: she looks up her old thrill-seeking buddies and splits from home.-Acrhive.org

    I must have new glasses each year now because my eyes grow weaker and weaker as time flies past.

    I know that most newspapers are in financial trouble today and seeking ways to cut publishing expenses, but if they reduce the size of comic strips to an even smaller size … ? One must ask … why print comic strips that no one can read?

    is it the paper? or are we just getting old?the local rag cant blame economics on reducing the size of our comics.they cut back to five comics. then they replaced the missing comics with a high schoolish kiddish thing called orchids and onions where people pi** at each other (anonymously) over the stupidest things.

    I have a book 100 Years of Comic Strips that features reprinted old comic strips from back in the day when comic strips were so large took up full pages of a newspaper page. In order to get them to fit into the page of a book (even a rather large book), it must be shrunk, so I do read comics in that book with a magnifying glass.

    The music when the peacock spiders were displaying should have been YMCA. Would have taken a bit of cutting to get all the letters together, but all of them were there at one time or another.

    The power of makeup was so well-planned, they even got here a blouse with a different pattern on each shoulder. And is she talented at raising one eyebrow higher or did someone use her asymmetry to plug makeup?

    That’s one of the reason I read them on my laptop. And, most of them are in color too.

    Um, yeah. Without access to a higher resolution image via the magnifying glass, using the browser’s zoom just magnifies the same illegible image. THIS strip is very legible at the resolution it is, but has anyone ever tried to read a Sunday Boondocks on this site?It’s gotten better (e.g., Calvin and Hobbes) but the low-res holdouts are annoying.And as for newspapers—I can’t afford ’em.

    That pic of Teddy Roosevelt astride a bull moose should rate with postcards of jackalopes! Nice to see photoshopping was being done so long before photoshop existed!I’m pretty sure if TR had tried to ride a bull moose, the moose would’ve won the argument.

    No update? Not here, not Lost Side of Suburbia, not Pib…

    Could this be conspiracy against the best of GoComics by the lower caliber strips?

    The WAACs in the blog picture are Privates Florence B. Davis, Dorothy L. Harris, Mildred L. Turk and Juanita P. Ingraham, leaving Fort Des Moines going to Fort Clark, according to

    http://www.buffalosoldiersresearchmuseum.org/research/women.htm

    They’re riding in the back of a truck, most likely a Studebaker deuce-and-a-half (so named because it could carry two and a half tons of cargo. GMC and Studebaker both made that class of truck; the Studebaker was unarmed and was the sort normally used in the continental US.)

    I like how the footprints show a bird, probably a heron, walked around the BIKE and decided it wasn’t worth it and flew off.
