Sunday January 18th

Alley Oop:



Only one dino pic this time! Progress!

But plotwise, we're back where we were when I first saw this miserable wreck - Oola is mad at Oop, but at least this time, he knows why and he's mad too.

Maybe this means the last of the dinosaurs?

Andy Capp:



Second week in a row without the title character. Perhaps they've decided to drop him at the pub for Sundays. After all, he doesn't want to break the Sabbath by working.

And another 3 panel gag stretched to the Sunday limits. I can't think of anything pretentious to say about this one except, did they see a porno? Are they wearing kercheifs on their heads? Is this turn of the century working class London? (Well, the women in working class Liverpool wore them in Across the Universe, but that movie had nurses in syringes, among other things, so I'm not accepting it as the utmost authority on kercheif wearing Brits.)

Considering what they did see, I'm kind of glad Andy's not there. I seriously can't think of a non-porn reason for a football team to be in a shower together. Or even hetero porn... wait... Get Fuzzy and the Boondocks and sometimes Doonesbury have everybody breathing down their necks, and this gets through?

Wow, if they don't get in trouble for it, I will be quite impressed. Not impressed by the stretched out joke, that's still terrible, but by the risque nature of it. And this is not the usual comic risque. But then again, do any papers still carry Andy Capp? Does anyone still read it for comprehension?

Like, you see it at first and you're like, "Oh, those dumb broads. They don't like movies with meanings, they just like looking at cute guys." and leave it at that. Unfortunately, I had to keep thinking and here we are.

Good night.
