My relationship with my late father, also a ww2 vet, was sometimes good, sometimes bad. Approach of fathers day had me dwelling on the bad but Jimmy Johnson’s ace comic today has provided some real healing. Put things into a wider perspective. Thanks JJ.My father (like most of my other relatives of that generation) didn’t want to talk about his wartime experiences. But the questions I’d really like to ask him now if I could are different from the ones he wouldn’t answer then. I didn’t know about PTSD then…
A Li’l Abner gag I remember was Daisy Mae explaining how to get to her house. It goes something like “It’s next to O’ Grady’s pig sty and ours has prettier curtains”.
Been reading Dick Tracy for years but this is my first comment on here. Always liked the artwork from Joe Staton onwards (where I came in). I have to say that the Shelley Pleger’s recent artwork is very good and has moved up a gear. Spot on!
Got this on video from years ago, totally agree it’s worth watching, long before cgi so real trains, aircraft etc. In black and white and with Burt Lancaster doing the hero stuff, brilliant!
