ITT, very old comics which no one has thought about in decades.

You can tell that was drawn by a woman, just by looking at it.
>>153299650Kek>>153300659It's improv
>>153301377You know what I aprecciate about your joke?It's clean. It's clean funny.
Is this wholesome?

The Outbursts of Everett True

>>153302706
>>153302672I look like this and I say this.
>>153302248WHYYY WHYYYYY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
>>153302826
I see them in full display.
>>153302826Good ol Sappo committing duck genocide.
>>153302826>>153302934How come Sappo was a clone of J. Worthington Wimpy?
>>153305185Good. Ducks have has it too good for too long.
>>153299508fucking idiots forgot to take off their bows
>>153302764>>153302752>>153302706>>153302684>>153302672I could fucking wreck Everett 1v1. I'd take a long time in front of him in some line just to force his move and then do a leg sweep into an anakonda head lock
>>153305861No doubt he'd counter your sweep, taking your defense of rudeness as further offence.
>>153302672he's literally me!
>>153306154I'd counter his counter thoughever
>>153299508They're retarded, those ribbons gave them away. They should have taken them off
>>153300761What is each one about? Any characters/jokes/storylines that you personally loved?
>>153306622>They should have taken them offWouldn't that be too lewd to draw and print?
>>153299508William Steig cartoons are timeless
>>153302657It funny seeing him freak out for a few times, but it gets old really fast.After that, he's just an angry old psycho who instantly turns to violence whenever someone slightly annoys him while every onlooker somehow is glad to see him lose his shit.
>>153305861Actually, you'd back down, begin to cry and slink off, then post on line that Everett is a Jew Tranny.
>>153308546>Everett is a Jew Tranny
>>153308612
>>153305257Same artist.Sappo was a "topper" above Thimble Theater/Popeye>>153307998Most of the time ET's anger is justified. He's doing what most of us would do if not for the legal consequences. He's especially hard on people who mistreat animals. Besides which, he doesn't ALWAYS resort to violence.
>>153307998It really feels like the comic is designed for the average reader to take the one particular strip they really resonate with, cut it out the newspaper and hang it on their wall. Basically 90s workplace comic strips or Facebook memes long before either were a thing.Though I feel like the one thing that helps redeem the comic is how how True's wife practically exists to knock him down several pegs. She actually calls out his behavior, so there's clearly some self-awareness to the formula.

>>153301355Yeah, it's by Alice Harvey, who primarily did panel gags.
>>153299508It must be really old comic if that takes up that much page space.
>>153302826>>153302859>>153302934Sappo's better than most people give it credit for being
>word salads There. Just broke down every vintage comic strip for youse.
>>153307326Quino is a hack.
>>153310637Occasionally, he was ahead of his time.1932 was years before Polaroid "instant" cameras and even longer before Ring.
>>153313257
>>153302672>>153302684>>153302706>>153302752So this comic has literally no other joke than "angry man angry"?
>>153302752Damn hipsters have existed longer than I thought.
This one was my Grandma's favorite.
>>153313980why can't ai figure out how to make colors not so ugly, it's such an instant turn off
>>153313442Not every comic is meant to be funny. This is more akin to a PSA about people being impolite in a polite society. The protagonist stands up for himself and those around him against the rude people that are disruptive to society.
>>153308854This image would make for a great template
>>153313442Racecar johnny did it better.
>>153316687Better how exactly?
>>153302672later Everett True would go all basedboy redittor and punch anyone who tried to get them to do their actual jos.
>>153313980Kill yourself.
>>153316687Nope.
>>153315356>Not every comic is meant to be funny.Hilarious concept.
>>153308854>He's doing what most of us would do if not for the legal consequences.I think you are a dangerous lunatic.
>>153315845I recall seeing an edit of this in which the guy in the top panel said ">Dipper's cheeks".>>153313257The one with the drawing machine is particularly funny nowadays.
>>153305861Calm down, Nobody.
>>153313442
>>153313442Not always angy
The head of Sony pictures just said the exact same thing. https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1sl2fkn/sony_pictures_boss_tom_rothman_urges_theater/

I still think the world of Ella Cinders. Comic strips had alot of cute girls in those days. It is a bit odd looking over her evolution though.
>>153315845>shadman
>>153321538Everett would have to be the one to calm down, once I was finished with him
>>153322611this looks kinda modern, at least compared to the popeye stuff for instance. art and composition are really clean.
>>153322675It's a comic from 1926 anon. You can check the rest of the comicbookplus uploads of you down believe me.https://comicbookplus.com/?cid=1951
>>153322611Funny, I almost suggested that but I thought it seemed too new. Ran for a long time.
>>153321530
>>153322276Always loved how China is peering over the wall as Japan "arrives" from its Meiji Restoration.
>>153322162Too wordy, but still rather amusing
>>153322611>Ella about to get her butt beatWait, is she supposed to be a child or not? In the first strip which I found on wikipedia and introduces the cast, she is referred to as a "little girl". But in later comics she seems very adult. Which is it? Does she age in the comic?
>>153324257She starts out as a young girl but we follow her as she grows into a woman. Eventually she becomes a homemaker.
>>153322851>too new>100 yrs oldHow much older are we talking? Any further back and I can only name Buster Brown and Yellow Kid.
>>153325397I wasn't sure how old it was. I've seen it in papers from the '40's and apparently it ran to '61.
>>153313442It's less "jokes" and more "presentations of obnoxious faggots". You're not meant to laugh as much as nod and go "yep, those guys sure suck, wish I could see someone do that to them".
>>153322088I chuckled.
>>153324257Even the earliest stories involved marriage proposals and such, she was never an actual kid.
>>153325841Just reading through some of the earliest ones and there are multiple strips where it's implied (through dialogue) that she receives frequent spankings from Ma Cinders. I know it was a different time at all, but the dynamic very much reads like an adult/child relationship rather than that of two grown women. I would guess she's in her teens, which would explain how she can be subject both to physical punishment as well as romantic interests (especially given the time period).
>>153323024Well, China is going through it's century of humiliation, it's overrun with civil wars and colonial powers.
>>153313980Blossington is a cutie.
>>153322088>>153322105Huh.
>>153310603It's from 1936.
>>153322927God damn. Time is a flat circle.
>>153323024Nothing has changed.

If Elon ever manages to get to Mars, he'll probably claim the entire planet as his private properly and charge the colonists for air, water, homes, etc.
>>153331105AI or real ?
Those were the days.
>>153322675You'd be surprised what people were drawing in the 20s.
>>153331105too low res to read...
>>153322611What a cute design. I'm disappointed that most of the archived strips seem to be words words words with less cute drawings.
Mar 16 1917 - Daily panel gag strip featuring a stick figure named Militant Mary speaking a rhymed couplet.
>>153322611The Hollywood movie adaptation from 1926 starring Colleen Moore survives and is pretty cute:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZZxpbx5Ulc
>>153333554From the thumbnail, I thought Militant Mary has big thighs. Wasn't disappointed though.I would've imagine how she reacts to today's females in the funnies, what with it being more webcomics-to-newspaper comics happening happening here and there nowadays.
