All I Know I Learned from Cartoons

[Ojai Sam]

Well, I'll swan.

My mother's side of the family used this one. I do not recall my mom ever using it, however.

I have always enjoyed using old fashioned expressions, to the occasional distress of Mrs. Ojai. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to answer the Ameche.

Who calls at that late hour?

BRB, after my morning constitutional.

Is that before or after your ablutions?

 

[Ojai Sam]

Who calls at that late hour?

Who else?

The Demise of Dilbert

Definitely a self-inflicted wound.

A moron cartoonist for MAGAt morons. They deserve each other.

I used to enjoy this strip back in the Stone Age when I used to read a physical newspaper.

Me too.

Sad to find out I was getting my entertainment from a guy like that.

^why is his kneecap missing?

^why is his kneecap missing?

He damn-near burned it off.

The correct answer is: That is the end of the cut of meat (from whatever animal it is) he's holding as he's cooking.

I looked a few times at that, myself. In typical Larson style, Zog (the smart one) is wearing glasses.

No, no, no. It connects directly to his foot. It's his leg.
HEY, ZOG! Come over here and check this out, buddy! What gives?

Have you had your eyeglass prescription updated lately?

 

[Nickyboy]

I see it now.

After Charles Shulz and Elzie Segar, Ernie Bushmiller is my favorite newspaper comic strip artist. Nancy is truly unique, a blend of surrealism and hoary gags that would make The Three Stooges blush.

Over the years, Ernie’s work has attracted a fanatical group of devotees who pay tribute to this anti-intellectual artist in unexpected ways such as this offbeat academic treatise:



Fantagraphics Press released three long out of print volumes from the Golden Age of Nancy (1943-51). While searching for the last volume at a price that wouldn’t unduly shock Mrs. Ojai, I ran across this bizarre interview with Denis Kitchen who himself has published 5 more essential Nancy volumes. If life imitates art, Kitchen somehow found a way to capture Nancy’s eccentric philosophical charm in the form of s dialogue not unlike Plato. Seriously.

TMCM: Doesn't the book that you published about your own company on its 25th anniversary have a page depicting you in Nancy drag?

Kitchen: I don't remember.

I will forever remain a Krazy Kat fan.

Love Krazy Kat!

Little surprised @Ojai Sam didn't namecheck Walt Kelly who would be in my top three
