What did Lois mean by this?
It's a thing couples do during their wedding. You'll never know that feeling because you're a fucking worthless pile of shit.
ITT strips that couldn't be made today
Lois has a thing for pies
She's such a fuckin baddie
dam gurl
Was this really what life was like for boomers
Damn what a burn
>>150557247This one is so relatable.
>>150557112https://www.thecut.com/article/grooms-smashing-wedding-cake-brides-faces.html>When Anna planned her wedding, she did make it clear to her fiancé that she didn’t want a messy cake-smash fiasco. But it didn’t matter. Though they’d agreed to delicately exchange pieces of the two-tiered vanilla-almond cake she’d carefully selected, he went rogue. “He was throwing it at me,” she says. “I wasn’t expecting it at all.” Anna was mortified but pretended to play along. He grabbed her arms and restrained her, pummeling cake into her face and hair and all over her dress. “I really thought about leaving. I didn’t want to be there anymore,” she says.>“The worst part was that he was cackling with his buddies. He thought it was hilarious,” she says. He saw it as a prank>Searching “wedding cake smash” on TikTok and Instagram turns up countless videos, many with millions of views. Some couples mutually enjoy and even plan such an event, but what goes viral are one-sided attacks.
she so cute i love her

wish there was more lois in fun clothes
loli lois

>>150558292image
bedhead
why are men like this desu
Lois has legs
one of the rare strips of lois in bed
top right is makin me hahd
Lois is by far the best midcentury comic strip girl, she blows Blondie out of the water. I honestly think she could have a bit of a revival like Jucicka since she has a similarly pleasing design and nice personality.
>>150557466Boomers grew up with this, they didn't grow up experiencing it, most only emulated it as adults and failed bitterly.
speaking of mort walkerno thought behind those eyes
this is pretty hilarious
>>150557112Lois is hot
>>150558851She is. Someone should draw her.
>>150558309Odd that my first impression of this was the "party line" where multiple houses used to be grouped to the same number and one could listen in on many conversations from different houses. I'm told you'd need to tell all the gossipers to get off the line when you wanted to make an emergency call.But no, this is just the normal landline stuff that I was actually familiar with growing up, not the stuff my parents and grandparents always told me about.
>>150558931It's amazing how so much stuff we do these days, they could basically do back then, too, with supposedly-inferior tech.Meanwhile we can't go back to the Moon after more than 50 years of trying.We DO live in a diminished age, don't we?
>>150557309Yeah, Dot's pretty sexy.
old lois had some solid proportions
Damn the old comics were much more edgy than the modern ones
she so sassy
dammnnnn those thighss
dot u cant say that
>>150557112>>150558822I don't understand why these have so little 34. Lois and Miss Buxley are ridiculously hot.I wish they'd animate these, but without adapting them to "modern audiences". Just as-is.
might only be the second strip i've ever seen of them kissing.
>>150558783>>150558822In Sweden they have a Beetle Bailey comic book that just publishes reprints of the strip but they'd regularly have a special "fräckisar" where they'd publish in an extra little comic book a bunch of sketch strips that were never meant to be published. Whole bunch of dirty jokes with different levels of graphicness, though little boy me was entranced by a full frontal Miss Buxley in the shower back in the day.
>>150560491Managed to find some non graphic ones for those curious.
>>150557573Kek
>>150557112He's an architect.
>>150560517
>>150560491Catbox the nudity ones. Or post them in some /aco/ thread and link here.
>>150560800I don't have access to them. I'd have to go through old boxes at my parents place to find one. If I do I'd love to do a /aco/ thread storytiming it.
>>150558953The problem with going back to the moon is one of cost. Right now there's no profit to be made in lunar excursions because it costs so much to get there and the world is drowning in debt.Back then the profit was sticking it to the soviets, which was its own reward.We're SUPPOSED to have another moon mission next year, but it's probably going to get scrubbed because it's too expensive.
>>150559783>I don't understand why these have so little 34. Lois and Miss Buxley are ridiculously hot.Several reasons>Comic strips are incredibly niche, so you>Both strips are nearing 100 years old>Very few fanartists will draw fanart of comic strip characters unless they're Garfield, Peanuts, or CathyYour best hope is for someone on Twitter to rediscover these comics like they did with Jurika and post about how hot the women are.>I wish they'd animate these, but without adapting them to "modern audiences". Just as-is.There was a Beetle Bailey cartoon back in the 60s. I doubt there'd be a demand for either Mort Walker cartoon to get another animated adaptation.
>>150560517lmao that second one is great
>>150561350These are classic and funny. If any exec had any sense, he'd make a show based on them instead of rebooting the Flintstones or Scooby Doo for the 100th time.
>>150563510When was the last time a newspaper comic got a show based on them that wasn't Garfield or Peanuts?
>>150563964Why are you hung up on precedent in a time of only sequels and reboots when execs are desperately looking for established IP to adapt?
>>150558639Four kids, tight body. Healthy eating and good exercise back then.
More wet hair lois
what was on those other slides??
the art in the early strips are really greati'm getting sad about how much detail and character was lost throughout the strip's life.
pin up girl
>>150558241Are the last two panels swapped?
lois soft
lois legs>>150566008yeah that makes more sense
damn she got him
>>150566008I think you're right, good detective work
chip loves lois!!
>>150565901I wonder if it changed dramatically once Browne created Hagar the Horrible. It appears he was doing both at once until he died.
fancy lois
last panel>>150566154well walker was also doing beetle bailey so both of them had other things going on. But i wonder who of them had the responsibility of the fine detailing.
this would be a risky comic for 2025 lmao
>>150566154Before he created Hagar, Dik Browne was doing The Tracy Twins, a comic strip for the Boy Scout magazine Boy's Life. So he was always very prolific. The change in style was probably a change in inkers. His sons Chance and Chris were inking his later strips.
>>150565901Wow... that is just amazing. So much detail and life. Man its so good
>>150566249Might just be the style evolving. The Sunday Church one you mentioned, beyond the detail, Lois' face is drawn quite differently. Seems like Hi has been pretty consistent over time though.Though, I actually have no idea what the timeline is on the posts here. Except some are probably later based on the clothing. Maybe late 60s
>>150560517>>150560537Gave me a good chuckle, especially the toilet paper one.
>>150566214>9-11I don't know why but that made me laugh
>>150560537>>150560517These are neat
>>150566214I guess the use for the word Fantastic definitely was different back in the day. Not gonna harp on Reed Richards anymore for his super hero name.
>>150564142>when execs are desperately looking for established IP to adapt?yeah, popular ones
>>150566249Thanks for all the panels, anon
>>150560491>>150560816If you happen to have any more, I'd love to see it. Please dig through your boxes when you can. I'm aware of these smutty Beetle Bailey strips, and I've got a bunch of them myself. But I'm not absolutely certain I have everything that has been printed. Here's what I've got:https://filebin.net/uwbfhjyzfe03blk2
>>150568373Hot damn, just downloaded your collection and this is way more than I have! Thank you so much for sharing!From what I could see from skimming through all of them you've got the most I've seen, although the big one that made a big impression on younger me, Full frontal Miss Buxley with bush isn't in there.I regret mentioning the boxes though, because I won't have access to get to my parents at this time. I live much further away but if I can I'll make an effort to find it and scan it. Best part is that no translation needed since the sketches are untouched and the Finnish or Swedish translation is below.Most of the strips are SFW enough to post here I'd think, there's a few errant boobs and dicks but most are just dirty jokes which should be kosher for a blue board.
>>150569069No problem. I've been meaning to share those with /co/ for a while now, but never got around to it.On the topic of Hi and Lois: I think pic related is their first appearance? Beetle Bailey had a storyarc where Beetle was visiting his parents, and his sister Lois came to see him. Then some months later Hi and Lois got their own strip, with modified character designs.
>>150570376The first few Hi and Lois strips here, with their redesigns.
>>150570870
>>150570914>commissioner instructing the artist
>>150571027Ooof, no shade on Eric Reaves, but this art doesn't hold a candle to the strips above.
Forgot to include these pictures in that filebin link earlier:https://filebin.net/5juzh9tpxhf9n2bqThe backstory for the orange gag in that zip:>[Mort Walker:] If I showed a girl in a bathing suit, and I put a little dot for her belly button, they’d whack it out. Too naked I guess. I went down to the syndicate one time, and they showed me a little box full of little black dots. They’d cut the belly buttons out with a razor and put them into this little box. Beetle Bailey’s no-belly-button box. I took that as a challenge. I went home and did a strip in which Cookie gets a big shipment of navel oranges, and then on the crates, I had a bathing beauty with a little dot on it. They finally gave it up. They said, “You win the belly-button battle.”
>>150571278Damn, how far we’ve come with comic strip censorship.
>>150571255At least it's nowhere near as awful as the art in modern Beetle Bailey strips.
>>150571255>>150571437This is why I think legacy comics needs to retire or be given to younger blood. Then again, doing the latter gives us shit like NuHeart, so what are we to do?
>>150567256Except there aren't enough of those to go around. And these are both nostalgic and old, so cheap. And the whole thing is about minimizing risk, in this case it's a low buy-in and not having to worry about cheapening an active brand.
>>150565829Damn, Lois was a low-key baddie. Good Thread.
>>150558241>how do they make stringThis is a valid question
>>150569069>Full frontal Miss Buxley with bush isn't in there. If you ever find it, please share with the class where you found it because damn that sounds awesome
>>150571463>so what are we to do?Hire people with actual talent and love and respect for the original property? Or maybe hire a talented artist and a talented writer separately if it's hard to find a person who's both?
>>150573719It'll be a while but I'll make sure to start a thread like this one and link it or something. Don't get too excited though, it's drawn in the rough sketch style like the other examples.There is some above sketch level nudes in the link this anon posted though if you want to have a look >>150568373
Wish there were some drawfags in this thread.
>>150575418I'm dogshit but I'll do something, what do you want?
>>150575418The Marmaduke thread was up for days and there was only one new drawing in that.
>>150575450I dunno, Lois doing something sexy. Maybe wearing yoga pants.
>>150575571Gimmie four hours. Maybe more. Maybe less.
>>150559783
>>150574281Who the fuck under 30 likes Hi & Lois?
>>150577105Anyone with a sense of humor who ever read the classic strips?
>>150571255Wait until you hear about Rose is Rose
>>150575418I might have some time later tonight.
>>150579367Based.
>>150560491>full frontal Miss Buxley in the shower>>150575364>it's drawn in the rough sketch style Did it happen to be pic related? The comic where the general is dreaming about her?
>>150580912There's also the poster with the giant naked Buxley surrounded by other characters. Her boobs are visible while the bush is only implied. Killer's heading towards her groin with hedge clippers.
>>150558241Explaining things to kids is harder than it looks.
>>150557112Isn't that typically something the bride does to the groom?
>>150585022Beats me, I've never been married.
>>150580912>>150581050No, though very similar.I did my best recreating it from memory (please don't ban me, I didn't draw nipples or bush!).
>>150571255I'd be curious to see the black&white art. It's not all of the difference, but I've noticed all the examples people criticize are in color, and all the ones people compliment are line drawings. And, newspaper comic coloring tends to really impact underlying line drawing.
>>150571437The last panel illustrates my feeling for that strip. Sure the comic was never very advanced but this one just hurts.The /co/ challenge should be to rework this strip into being funny, the anon with the least amount of changes wins.
>>150587703>Sure the comic was never very advancedI'm gonna disagree there. The early years of the strip had competent art and the gags were funny. That's why the current state of the comic pains me so much
>>150588272Yeah, there's just more talent on display here. Not the most amazing things ever but clear distinct art and to the point understandable jokes.
