Shoe was very good for a long time but when it dropped it fell hard.

Did White Boy get reprinted anywhere? All I've seen of it has been the few incredible strips in the smithsonian book.
― JoeStork, Wednesday, 17 July 2013 15:20 (ten years ago) link
there is a larger selection of full colour white boy strips in dan nadel's essential anthology Art Out of Time: Unknown Comics Visionaries 1900-1969, along with a number of other very interesting and obscure american newspaper strips - but no, there is no complete collection of it, sadly
― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 17 July 2013 16:49 (ten years ago) link
some of the best use of colour in any newspaper strip imho:

the nadel bk also introduced me to (the comic book version) of Jack Mendelsohn's incredible early 1960s strip Jacky's Diary, which i'm sure if there was collection of it would make my top 40:

― Ward Fowler, Wednesday, 17 July 2013 16:59 (ten years ago) link
also there's an issue of the comics journal that reprints a good amount of white boy strips.

Aww man, I almost missed this completely! Pretty late to be nominating stuff, but Pokey the Penguin is pretty great.
― cwkiii, Saturday, 27 July 2013 03:48 (ten years ago) link
consider it nominated and ballots are still being accepted
― Mordy , Saturday, 27 July 2013 04:16 (ten years ago) link
We have a few more days, right?
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 27 July 2013 04:16 (ten years ago) link

― Mordy , Saturday, 27 July 2013 04:17 (ten years ago) link
Cool. I've been a lazy fuck and need more time.
And again, congrats to you and yours. More Mordys make me smile.
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 27 July 2013 04:18 (ten years ago) link
Strips I would have nominated if I'd been in time:
Barack Hussein Obama by Steven WeissmanThree Word Phrase by Ryan PequinNedroid by ???Gunshow by KC GreenSpace Avalanche by ???
And Homestuck, just so that it's available for the "worst strips ever" list.

Yep- I got it!
― Mordy , Saturday, 27 July 2013 22:15 (ten years ago) link
I've got my top 40 but I don't have a bottom 5. I don't pay attention to shit comic strips I've read once or twice so I don't know any names nor do I care. Is it okay if I just skip it?
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 7 August 2013 14:34 (ten years ago) link
Yep
― Mordy , Wednesday, 7 August 2013 15:21 (ten years ago) link
Cool. I'll have the ballot to you shortly.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 7 August 2013 15:23 (ten years ago) link
I'll send mine tonight as well. Just completed it but can't edit work email stuff out on my phone so will have to do it from the desktop at home.

― dale cthulhu (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 9 August 2013 12:25 (ten years ago) link
Get Fuzzy and Foxtrot are on the list. I thought about Pearls when I was working on my ballot last night, but it definitely wouldn't have made my top 40.
