Lay out the newspaper all over the living room floor and turn to the funny pages! This week we look back on the history and some of our favorite comic strips over the years. Plus an interactive game for you Earbuds on Enjoy Stuff!   Let's revisit some legendary comic strips from over the years! Jovial Jay and Shua strip on this week's Enjoy Stuff!   News The Road House trailer has shown us that there is still a taste for fighting (and Jake Gyllenhaal's abs) No abs in the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire trailer, but we do get a whole lot of favorite characters!   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Jay took Shua's advice that the new Peacock streaming series Ted was worth the watch. He agrees. It is a funny (and raunchy) story of a boy and his bear. But Seth Macfarlane has given it a heart that really makes you think and care. Shua made his way to the movie theater and saw Jeffrey Wright's newest film American Fiction. This story, about an author who is disgruntled about the stereotypes of blacks that are portrayed in modern literature.    Sci-Fi Saturdays This week Sci-Fi Saturdays shows you some Signs. M. Night Shyamalan's 2002 alien thriller isn't a Dead End. The plot seems to be going straight and then takes a Right Turn only and you have to Yield to suspense. Shyamalan's Uneven Road of movies shouldn't Stop you from revisiting Signs. Check it out on Sci-Fi Saturdays. He has also been updating locations from Marvel TV and movies, including Echo, the Agents of SHIELD, and Agent Carter series. Play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua break down each episode of the Echo series and more.     Enjoy Comic Strips!  Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Garfield…there are so many legendary comic strips that have appeared in the newspaper over the years. Originally intended to sell newspapers, their popularity soared and before too long there were dozens of artists making different varieties of comics. As they evolved we got comics that were silly, timely, political, and Pulitzer Prize winners.    Classic strips from the 50s, like Peanuts, Marmaduke, Dennis the Menace, and more are still published today, either in reruns (not Linus's brother) or drawn by a new artist.    As the 60s and 70s brought change to the world, the comic pages started reflecting it as well. Timely topics were sometimes presented next to our Beetle Bailey. Pulitzer Prize winning Doonesbury by Gary Trudeau proved that the comics could be important. Spider-Man and Star Wars brought other formats of our entertainment to the comics pages.    And then we got a series of mega stars that blew up the popularity of that beloved illustrated section of the newspaper. Garfield, The Far Side, Bloom County, and Calvin and Hobbes became just a handful of reasons people would pick up the comics in the first place.    How well do you know your comics? Let's play a game to see if you remember the punch line from the very first published strip from a few classics.    Now that newspapers are going the way of the Dodo, what does the future hold for our beloved strip format? We're not sure, but we will continue to start the day with a laugh.   Did you grow up reading comics? What were some of your favorites (or ones you avoided)? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Let's go exploring!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

Comic strips first began appearing in newspapers during the late 1800s. In most of the 20th century there were at least 200 different comic strips and cartoon panels appearing in American newspapers every day. Many cartoon characters were adapted for radio, and a few remain popular. Blondie was created in 1930 by cartoonist Chic Young. In 1939 the Blondie Show appeared on radio and lasted until 1950. We'll hear an episode from 1940. Beetle Bailey and other characters were featured on the Comic Weekly Man Show. From 1947 to 1954 Lon Clark would read comics from the newspapers and perform all the male voices. We'll hear an episode from 1953. Archie Andrews was created by John Goldwater, Bob Montana, and Vic Bloom in 1941. Archie first appeared on radio in 1943. We have an episode from 1946, Archie was on radio through 1953. http://krobcollection.com

For a period of about 50 years, many of America’s top cartoonists and illustrators lived within a stone’s throw of one another in the southwestern corner of Connecticut. Comic strips and gag cartoons read by hundreds of millions were created in this tight-knit group — Prince Valiant, Superman, Beetle Bailey, Hägar the Horrible, Hi and Lois, Nancy, The Wizard of Id, Family Circus … I could keep going. This hour, a look at the funny pages, and at Connecticut’s cartoon county. GUESTS: Bill Griffith: The creator and author of the daily comic strip Zippy Henry McNulty: A writer and editor who worked for the Hartford Courant for more than 25 years Cullen Murphy: Editor-at-large for Vanity Fair and the author of Cartoon County: My Father and His Friends in the Golden Age of Make-Believe The Colin McEnroe Show is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Phil & Jake rank the very necessary activity of sleep, the very American foodstuff called peanut butter, and the very mustachioed actor Sam Elliott on the List of Every Damn Thing.VOTE HERE to help decide which topic we're going to re-rank on an upcoming episode. Polls are almost closed!If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).SHOW NOTES: For the second time in recent episodes we discuss the songs of Chubby Checker (both "The Limbo Rock" and “Let's Twist Again”). I Know What You Did Last Summer was a post-Scream 90s horror movie. The title of the sequel was I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, which Phil doesn't approve of. The Karina Longsworth podcast You Must Remember This had a recent episode about Flashdance & Risky Business as part of the current season which is about sex in movies (which used to be a thing).  Pittsburgh is a city in western Pennsylvania where the Allegheny & the Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio. Phil claims that old Popeye cartoons are much more Olive Oyl and Bluto-centric than you'd think. Some of the better Popeye cartoons aren't streamable because WB's not crazy about the themes. Phil's favorite is "Can You Take It" in which Olive gets a job as a nurse for an underground fight club. Thimble Theater was the original comic strip that Popeye sprung out of.  Freddy Krueger was a villain in horror movies in the 80s who attacks people in their dreams. Phil has only ever seen the third Nightmare on Elm Street, where Laurence Fishburne is an orderly at a hospital for traumatized kids and the kids flip the script on Freddy and defeat him. Phil mentions a French scientist who thought sleep was a distraction, and caused himself health problems by staying awake for long periods. This may have been something his parents told him as a kid to get him to sleep. He doesn't know why the scientist was French either. We talk about “sack hounds” and “sack artists”. Phil had always understood these to mean lazy people who could sleep wherever. After looking it up on WW2-era slang websites it seems like a “sack artist” is more like a womanizer whereas a “sack hound” is someone who tries to sleep. Beetle Bailey is a simple, gag-based comic strip with a military setting. Peanut butter is traditionally made of peanuts, smashed. That's why Phil's idea of selling roasted peanuts as extremely crunchy peanut butter makes sense. To Phil. Peanut oil is the oil that you can squeeze out of peanuts. In peanut butter jars, it separates and has to be stirred back into the peanut butter. What? You think it'd be better to just have a jar of peanuts so that the oil will stay put? Yeah me too! Almond butter is mashed-up almonds. The Got Milk? ad campaign which emphasized milk's usefulness as a lubricant, was kicked off by a Michael Bay-directed ad in which a guy has jammed so much PB&J into his mouth that he can't say "Aaron Burr" to win a radio contest. It's a very common problem. George Washington Carver invented about three hundred products derived from peanuts, but did not invent peanut butter. Peanuts are legumes that are eaten as food in the world and are especially popular in the USA, Nigeria and Thailand. Phil used to work with someone who was Thai and she said that Americans all eat rancid peanuts in contrast to Thailand where they eat fresh ones. We're afraid she might be right! Phil went looking for pics of Lucy Pinder to link to and found this which is an NFT of a picture of her. We hope she gets a cut of this. Realizing that Lucy Pinder is a real person has taught Phil empathy. Boiled peanuts are a fantastic Southern food. They come in a wet paper bag (the kind that so many people have trouble fucking their way out of). Sam Elliott was on the Mission: Impossible TV show back in the early 1970s. He looked good even without the mustache.  We talk about a few movies, including The Big Lebowski, Power of the Dog, Young Guns and Tombstone. We also talk reflect on the Western and superhero movie genres in general. Here's the Sam Elliott episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Malk was the name of an alternative milk in a gag on the Simpsons from 1995. It's now a real product.

Phil & Jake rank the funny-pages sensation Garfield, the proposed policy of student loan forgiveness, and the word “y'all” on the List of Every Damn Thing.VOTE HERE to help decide which topic we're going to re-rank on an upcoming episode.If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook).SHOW NOTES: There's an infamous strip where Jon Arbunkle drinks dog semen. For the record, Jim Davis denied that's what was going on. Discussion of portrayals of cats in popular culture leads to some talk about Tom and Jerry and much talk about Heathcliff (the Original Orange Cat). Phil was wrong about the name of the Garfield convention, it's called the Garfield Gathering. It should be called The Garfering. The next one is May 20th, 2022 in Warwick, Rhode Island. They don't happen every year so don't miss your chance. Garfield Minus Garfield were some edits people made in which Garfield was removed. Phil mentions the very grounded and realistic Garfield without his thought balloons. Beetle Bailey is singled out by Phil as a good gag strip Olivia James took over drawing the comic strip Nancy a few years ago and it's been a breath of fresh air. The old Ernie Bushmiller strips are extremely good also.  Garfield: His 9 Lives was a very strange Garfield project in the 80s. When talking about historical tax jubilees, Phil didn't really understand the mechanics too well but in Leviticus, God tells the Hebrews to forgive debts and free slaves every 50 years. It's unclear how this worked in practice. The idea wasn't unique to Hebrews, there are also records of jubilee proclamations in Babylon & Egypt.

In this episode, the guys talk about Kool-aid, after school snacks, Shawn has a story involving the game 20 questions that leads us back to The Best of Bread, and Mark tells us about his recent doctor's visit. The fellas also take a minute or 30 to reminisce about newspaper comic strips. They also have some very thought provoking question, can this brain trust handle them? We put the lid on the program with a return visit to Mount 4-Head to immortalize some of the best cartoon characters. Plus the Maroon of the Week, and a trip to Uncle Mark's Joke Bag.

By Dan Schmitt | One of my earliest memories involves reading. I was about three when I began crawling up on my father's lap each Sunday morning and listening while he read the comics to me. Although I didn't understand much about those comics at such a young age, listening to Dad chuckle as he read the likes of Beetle Bailey, Dagwood, and Blondie, and Bringing up Father made me understand that, somehow, words on a page were magical. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/elk-grove-news/support

If you’re old, like Joel & Kent, then you’ll remember the days of newspapers and Sunday funnies, and this episode of Baconsale will bring about pleasant waves of nostalgia. If you’re Zack’s age or younger, well then, this will be a very educational discussion about the history of comic strips. We’ve picked answers for a dozen categories, and we’ll be reminiscing about such classic hand-drawn cartoons as Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, Garfield, Peanuts, Beetle Bailey, Dilbert, and The Family Circus. Press play to learn how amusing it is to hear someone try to describe the funny pages.

For a period of about 50 years, many of America's top cartoonists and illustrators lived within a stone's throw of one another in the southwestern corner of Connecticut. Comic strips and gag cartoons read by hundreds of millions were created in this tight-knit group -- Prince Valiant, Superman, Beetle Bailey, Hägar the Horrible, Hi and Lois, Nancy, The Wizard of Id, Family Circus... I could keep going. This hour, a look at the funny pages, and at Connecticut's cartoon county. GUESTS: Bill Griffith - The creator and author of the daily comic strip Zippy Henry McNulty - A writer and editor who worked for the Hartford Courant for more than 25 years Cullen Murphy - Editor-at-large for Vanity Fair and the author of Cartoon County: My Father and His Friends in the Golden Age of Make-Believe Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.

Heeeey it's life in the army with Beetle Bailey, the soldier who's been enlisted for 50 years yet never seen a day of combat in America's eternal forever war. What happens when Beetle Bailey has to represent Camp Swampy in front of some Pentagon Brass and then Plato makes a flying chair helicopter that shoots things? It's madness when Mike (@bitterkarella) and Ethan (@gtron) look at this animated adaptation of everyone's favorite soldier boy.

Some really wild stories, communication in and out of the military, how to identify threats and the cool way to say "how's it going?" in Afgani.

For episode 69, I got a chance to chat with someone that I'm a huge fan of. He has also been on the podcast previously all the way back on episode 8 (along with his wife and Jupiter Jet co-creator, Ashley Victoria Robinson), Jason Inman! Both Jason and Ashley are also hosts of not only one of my favorite geek and pop culture podcasts...but one of my favorite podcasts overall, Geek History Lesson! Jason recently wrote his first non-fiction book, Super Soldiers: A Salute to the Comic Book Heroes and Villains Who Fought for Their Country and like Geek History Lesson, not only was I  fully entertained, but I learned something too! He covered sixteen soldiers, some that I knew about like Captain America, some that I didn't, like Gravedigger and some I was surprised to find, like Beetle Bailey. While I Ioved learning about each character's military perspective and the reflection of society in each of their respective times in history, perhaps what I loved even more are Jason's personal anecdotes of his own U.S. Army experiences in the Iraq. There are some very heartfelt moments in this book! Super Soldiers is available now for purchase (there is a Kindle and paperback version) on Amazon and if you will be in the Los Angeles, CA area on Saturday, June 22, 2019 from 11am to 12:30pm, he will be doing a book signing at Earth 2 Comics in Sherman Oaks. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Jason Inman! ~Aaron

Jason Inman returns to the show to talk about his new book 'Super Soldiers: A Salute to the Comic Book Heroes and Villains Who Fought for Their Country'! Along the way we discuss well known patriotic characters like Captain America, The Punisher and Green Lantern (two of them!) and lesser known ones like Gravedigger and Beetle Bailey! We also talk a bit about Jason's own experiences serving in the military! To top it off we discuss 'Swamp Thing's surprise cancellation, the future of DC Universe and what is going on with the future of Star Wars!

This week’s episode features writer David Pepose and artist Jorge Santiago Jr., the Ringo Award-nominated co-creators of SPENCER & LOCKE, the comic book crime thriller from Action Lab Danger Zone. The comic, featuring Jasen Smith (colors) and Colin Bell (letters) tells the story of the misadventures of a hardened cop and his imaginary partner: an anthropomorphic blue panther. Picking up where we left off back in Episode 101, David and Jorge bring Adrian up to speed on the latest installment SPENCER & LOCKE 2 and the series’ new villain Roach Riley, a twisted take on Mort Walker’s comic strip Beetle Bailey. David and Jorge also discuss how they approached the second volume and continued to build on the high concept of the original arc by raising the stakes, but also maintaining the heart and personal connection to the characters.

As we start a weird new year, it's time to look back at all the pop culture legends we lost in 2018. Now last year's memorial show turned into our longest episode ever; we were so dizzy and confused that we almost forgot to stop. So this year we're splitting our list into two episodes (but they're still rather long, and we're still rather dizzy). Our first category is actors, including Charlotte Rae (Mrs. Garrett!), Penny Marshall (Laverne!), David Ogden Stiers (Major Winchester! And the Martian Manhunter!), Ken Berry (the guy in The Cat From Outer Space!), and yeah, our Lois Lane, Margot Kidder. This week we also cover comic books and strips, including the creators of Beetle Bailey, Ghost Rider, Judge Dredd... and of course, Steve and Stan, the guys who gave us Spider-Man. (We forgot to say it during the show, so let's throw an "Excelsior!" in right here.) Next week we'll keep going, with stars from music, cartoons, wrestling, and more. Join us, and as always, bring very strong beverages.

Assistant Features Editor Ryan E. Smith talks with Brian Walker regarding his thoughts on MAD Magazine and the comic strips Beetle Bailey, Hi and Lois. Next we go in depth on Brian’s father Mort Walker and his relationship with him and the comic strips. Finally, we discuss how these comic strips have changed over the years and the fan base that still exist for them today.

This week, we delve into the weird 1972 animated special "Popeye Meets the Man Who Hated Laughter," which takes Popeye and adds most of his King Features comic strip cohorts, including Blondie and Dagwood, Beetle Bailey, Hi and Lois, Quincy, Snuffy Smith, Flash Gordon, The Phantom, Steve Canyon, and more! Popeye does impressions, Olive flirts with Steve, a number of characters eat a lot of food, and a Dagwood sandwich saves the day! It might not get any weirder than this.

We talk with PolyHero Dice about their cool themed polyhedral RPG / tabletop dice (currently Kickstarting their Rogue set), plus D&D/RPG news!

Today's Guest: Ray Billingsley, syndicated cartoonist, "Curtis" Order A Boy Named Curtis: The Curtis Chronicles by Ray Billingsley by clicking on the book cover above! There are a number of daily newspaper comic strips that we tend to take for granted. “Cathy,” by Cathy Guisewite, is one. Mort Walker’s “Beetle Bailey” and “Hi & Lois” are two more. And then there is my friend Ray Billingsley’s strip, “Curtis.” Ray Billingsley, cartoonist, Curtis “Curtis” shares the adventures of a young African-American boy whose age I’d put at about 10 or 11, dealing with life in his community. He’s chasing—unsuccessfully—girls, being chased—successfully—by bullies, struggling with his dad’s cheapness and smoking… in other words, all the stuff boys his age do. RAY BILLINGSLEY Audio Excerpt: "The strip is a lighthearted tale about a boy. That's all it is. It's just that one little factor that turns publishers off. I still go through, 'Well, blacks don't really read this stuff and whites don't get it." Dagwood Bumstead meets A Boy Named Curtis But because the character is black, it sometimes seems like his creator, Billingsley, doesn’t always get the opportunities or recognition that other men and women in his field do. One example: publication of his collected works. The last time Billingsley was a guest on my show, back in April 2007, he revealed his frustration with the cartoonists establishment and book publishing. Today, there is a new development on that front: publication of the first “Curtis” collection: A Boy Named Curtis.

Today's Guest: Brian Walker, daily comics writer, "Beetle Bailey," "Hi & Lois," comics historian, The Comics   Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of small-bodied talking animals with giant heads and more wisecracks than Don Rickles… in the new new media capitol of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! The Comics by Brian Walker. Order your copy today by clicking on the book cover above!   Comics are Brian Walker’s life. It’s the family business, after all: his dad, Mort, created or co-created "Beetle Bailey," "Hi & Lois," and the legendary but short-lived strip and strips, "Sam’s Strip." Brian and his brother Greg have written and inked "Beetle Bailey" and "Hi & Lois" alongside their dad now for years. (Another second generation comics creator, Chance Browne – son of "Hi & Lois" co-creator and "Hagar the Horrible" creator Dik Browne – draws "Hi & Lois.") But starting back in college in the early 1970s, Brian carved out a corner of the industry for himself.

BRIAN WALKER audio excerpt: "The New Traditionalists: 'Zits,' 'Baby Blues' and 'Mutts' were not revolutionary in any particular way, but they took all the best qualities of all the great strips." Order from Amazon.com by clicking the book cover above In the years that followed, Greg followed a dual path, writing gags for his father’s strips but also helping Mort Walker and his fellow comic strip masters see their dream come true: He is a founder and former director of the International Museum of Cartoon Art, where he worked from 1974 to 1992. More recently, Brian has turned his attention to preserving and sharing comic strip history. His latest book, The Comics, puts together in one massive, exquisite volume what had previously been two pieces. It is an awesome collection of wonderful strips to the beginning of the medium and all the way to the present day, a must-have collectible for any comics fan. And a few months ago he published another marvelous book, Doonesbury and The Art of G.B. Trudeau. Reading through it, I fell in love with the work of Jane Pauley’s husband all over again.

When writing textbooks about slavery, which words best reflect its cold, hard reality? Some historians are dropping the word "slave" in favor of terms like "enslaved person" and "captive," arguing that these terms are more accurate. And raising a bilingual child is tough enough, but what about teaching them three languages? It's an ambitious goal, but there's help if you want to try. Plus, a class of sixth-graders wonders about the playful vocabulary of The Lord of the Rings. Where did Tolkien come up with this stuff? Also, funny school mascots, grawlixes, that melon's busted, attercop, Tomnoddy, purgolders, and dolly vs. trolley vs. hand truck. FULL DETAILS In an earlier episode, we discussed funny school mascot names. Listeners wrote in with more, including the Belfry Bats (the high school mascot of Belfry, Montana) and the Macon Whoopie hockey team, from Macon, Georgia. A Fort Worth, Texas, couple disagrees about how to pronounce the word gymnast, but both JIM-nist and the more evenly stressed JIM-NAST are fine. A musician from Youngstown, Ohio, is designing an album cover for his band's latest release. He wants to use a grawlix, one of those strings of punctuation marks that substitute for profanity. "Beetle Bailey" cartoonist Mort Walker coined the term, but is there a grammar of grawlixes? Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a puzzle about words and phrases that people have tried to trademark, including a two-word phrase indicating that someone's employment has been terminated, which a certain presidential candidate tried unsuccessfully to claim as his own. He's a native English speaker who's fluent in Spanish. She grew up in Cameroon speaking French. They're planning a family, and hoping to raise their children to speak all three. What are the best strategies for teaching children to speak more than two languages? The Multilingual Children's Association offers helpful tips. Offbeat mascot names from Montana include the Powell County Wardens (so named because the high school is in the same county as the Montana State Prison), and the Missoula Loyola Sacred Heart Breakers. Growing up in Jamaica, a woman used to hear her fashion-designer mother invoke this phrase to indicate that something was good enough, even if it was flawed: A man on a galloping horse wouldn't see it. Variations include it'll never be seen on a galloping horse and a blind man on a galloping horse wouldn't see it. The idea is that the listener to relax and take the long view. The expression has a long history in Ireland and England, and the decades of Irish influence in Jamaica may also account for her mother's having heard it. The country of Cameroon is so named because a 15th-century Portuguese explorer was so struck by the abundance of shrimp in a local river, he dubbed it Rio dos Camaroes, or "river of shrimp." The organization Historic Hudson Valley describes the African-American celebration of Pinkster in an exemplary way. It avoids the use of the word slave and instead uses terms such as enslaved people, enslaved Africans, and captives. It's a subtle yet powerful means of affirming that slavery is not an inherent condition, but rather one imposed from outside. A sixth-grade teacher from San Antonio, Texas, says he and his students are reading The Lord of the Rings. They're curious about the words attercop, which means "spider" (and a relative of the word cobweb) and Tomnoddy, which means "fool."  Grant recommends the book The Ring of Words, as well as these online resources: Why Did Tolkien Use Archaic Language? and A Tolkien English Glossary. If you're in the Ozarks, you might hear the expression that means the same as water under the bridge or spilled milk: that melon's busted. The idea in all three cases is that something irrevocable has happened, and there's no going back. A listener from Abilene, Texas, recounts the incredulous reaction he got when he was in England and asked some burly fellows for a dolly, meaning a wheeled conveyance for moving heavy loads. He asked for a two-wheeler, then a hand truck, and finally learned that what they were expecting him to ask for a trolley.   Madison East High School in Madison, Wisconsin, is the proud home of the Purgolders.

(FROM 2007) Order Beetle Bailey: The Daily & Sunday Strips 1966 by Mort Walker, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the book cover above![/caption] Mort Walker is the dean and -- in some ways -- the curator of American cartoonists. Best known for his long-running strips “Beetle Bailey” and “Hi & Lois,” Walker, 84, is also a bedrock member of the National Cartoonists Society, and he’s the founder and energy behind the National Cartoon Museum. This is the third time I’ve had the pleasure of Mort’s company over the last 20 years. I enjoy interviewing him because he says what’s on his mind, and what’s on his mind is never dull. But just in case my questions aren’t sharp enough for this American comic strip master, I’ve called in reinforcements. Ray Billingsley, creator of the “Curtis” strip and an old friend of Walker’s, kindly contributed questions today. So did a newer member of the fraternity, Mark Tatulli, creator of “Heart of the City” and America’s fastest-growing new strip, “LIO.”   Order Will Eisner: A Spirited Life (2nd Edition) by Bob Andelman, available from Amazon.com by clicking on the book cover above!

The Comic Weekly Man was an old time radio show which aired from 1947 to 1954 where the host would read the Sunday comics in dramatic, and sometimes humorous fashion, complete with music and sound effects. Folks of all ages would tune in to hear the show and to enjoy the reading of the comics by the Comic Weekly Man. Some of the strips he would read from included Blondie, Beetle Bailey, Hi and Lois, and many, many others.

In the debut episode of GEEK THIS I'm sharing my personal history with comics and how web comics have become a staple in my regular reading. When I think of comic books, my first thought is 1992 with Batman: The Animated Series and X-Men. The visual style of Batman was always the most memorable part of that show and has help up over the last 20 years. X-Men exuded the feel of 90's comics. Both, though, inspired me to start reading, drawing, and even cemented voices of characters in my mind. Oddly enough, though, superhero comics weren't the predominant sources in my childhood. Comic strips like Garfield, Peanuts, and Beetle Bailey were regulars due to my grandparents giving me "the funnies" each week. What truly inspired me and pulled me into comics was Bill Waterson's Calvin & Hobbes. They've become a mainstay in my personal list of top series. They inspired a lot of drawings and potential comic strips I create even today. My love for Calvin & Hobbes flowed into my interest for web comics. Some of the best ones I'm reading now are Pokeweed by Drew Pocza, The Monkey & The Mouse by Kev Brett, and Insert Image by Wes Molebash. Note: The original name for the show was Geek This! Nerd That! which is mentioned at the top of the show. If you'd like to hear my take on this episode years later, listen to #100, where I give an audio commentary in real time.

If your friend says she's coming to town "Sunday week," exactly when should you expect to see her? And what do you call those typographical symbols that cartoonists use in place of profanity? Martha and Grant have the answer. Plus grass widows, the linguistic phenomenon called creaky voice, the difference between insure and ensure, the roots of the term jingoism and what it means if someone warns You don't believe fat meat is greasy. Also, is it okay to make a noun out of a verb?FULL DETAILSResearchers have found that stress is a leading cause of plewds--you know, those drops of sweat popping off the foreheads of nervous cartoon characters. That's one of several cartooning terms coined by Mort Walker, creator of the Beetle Bailey comic strip. Martha and Grant discuss this and other coinages from The Lexicon of Comicana. http://www.mortwalker.com/books7.htmlIf someone's coming to town Sunday week, when exactly should you expect them?

Over time, it came to mean a woman who's been separated from her husband, or a divorcee. If someone's jingoistic, they're extremely patriotic, often belligerently so.

This episode we discuss colorful language, and we're not talking purple prose. (And unless you're Sergeant Snorkel from "Beetle Bailey," @!&%#$! probably isn't going to cut it.) So, while Nick tries to avoid swearing like a sailor, we come to the question: when, if ever, is swearing appropriate in fiction and film? Afterward, join us for a Take on Tales where Tim discusses immortal alchemists living as 1930s gangsters (really!) and Nick actually finishes a video game.
