Apparently…

tonic

… GoComics doesn’t pay anybody to look over old comics scheduled for rerunning to see whether they belong in 2019 newspapers (or even on the GoComics website). At least once a year, there’s a Mutt and Jeff that make us say “Oh, hell no…”

I’m not advocating censorship, or in any way making the old strips cease to exist. Put them in collections. Have a Mutt and Jeff archive site. But some strips really don’t belong in the general daily feed.

(And this is far from the most cringeworthy example)

Semi-OT: The New Yorkers

I thought this might interest some of you because of the Peter Arno connection.

We saw this show, by the way, and were impressed by how they stitched it all together to create something comprehensible. Also by how much time and expense they put into something they was only going to run for five days.

And now they’re going to make a recording which… is also going to lose a ton of money.
