icon_ukGarry Trudeau's daily comic strip Doonesbury is many things, political, insightful, daring in it's subject matter, amusing and frequently scarily on the ball, but it's rarely ever tried to be "laugh out loud" funny. That allows it to deal with matters in a way perhaps more associated with editorial cartoons than regular "Funny pages" cartoon.

Adorable child pictures
Jun. 17th, 2012 07:35 pmskjamLet's check in with yet another of the future timelines Archie Comics is doing--the one where he marries Valerie of Josie and the Pussycats!
Previously: Valerie walked into the Memory Lane section of the forest while thinking of Archie, and wondering if she should pursue a relationship with him. In this timeline, the Archies band got some breaks so they went beyond a local band status. They kept running into the Pussycats, and Archie and Valerie started going steady. (In the background, Betty met and started dating Valerie's brother Trevor.)
Eventually, they eloped and got married, but the two bands' touring schedules meant the young couple wasn't getting much together time. Alex (the Pussycat's PR guy) put together a reality show where Archie and Valerie helped teach kids at music school. This was so successful that Mr. & Mrs. Andrews decided to go full-time.
( Four pages from Archie #633. )

Madam Fatal for Father's Day
Jun. 17th, 2012 08:55 pmmistygeekMadam Fatal has been post here before, so I'll skip this hero's origin. Use the cross dressing for Justice tag to find the origin on s_d or her her frist appearance here.
How is the first cross dressing superhero related to father's day? Richard Stanton only took to dressing as an old woman after his daughter was kidnapped. It was supposedly in effort to find her. (A bad effort, if you ask me.)
Here is Fatal's third story from Crack Comics #3 (July 1940).X-posted here.
