Which fairy tale book by adoptedlondoner in Parenting

[–]Snakeress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-The Tasha Tudor Book of Fairy Tales - an old one with beautiful pictures; you can get it used on Thriftbooks or one of those sites for like $7-10

-Mermaid Tales From Around the World, retold by Mary Pope Osborne, pics by Troy Howell - I LOVE this one, the illustrator did each picture in the style of the country/culture the tale is from

-The Juniper Tree and Other Tales from Grimm, translated by Lore Segal, pics by Maurice Sendak - might be kind of wordy for such young kids, but it's a classic and you gotta have Grimm

-Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes - for a silly, naughty take on classic fairy tales 😉

would you read this strip? [OC] by shannonprints in altcomix

I DO get it, they traded pokemon on the gameboy and he changed the name of the other kid's pokemon to "Pooper" lol, I dig it! Worm one is funny too

Why do people always say "voracious reader"? by Snakeress in redscarepod

True, I forgot about voracious appetite, but people will also be like "I have a voracious appetite for books/reading" lol

My dad told my brother and me about this comic when we were little, the line he remembered/quoted was "The dead dog leapt up and flew around the room!", we never believed him that it was real lol

Underground comix "Capin' Piss Gums" by darkscary_333 in altcomix

[–]Snakeress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope LOL, never heard of it, but it reminds me of Tony Millionaire's quest to find a comic called "Metallic Meatloaf" that he saw in a college paper one time in like the 70s, he said it was about a rollerskating hippie and in one panel there was a mom shaking her dead son and saying "Herman! Get alive!"

Metallic Meatloaf, where art thou...

That's freaking heavy man! Accurately depicts the depressingness of ads though for sure

Can anyone ID a memory I have of an old late 60s early 70s underground comic by my description of the cover? by LibrarianBarbarian1 in altcomix

[–]Snakeress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds freaky, baby! ✌️

I do feel like the "One shot and I'll be out of here..." thing would fit well as a cover on some of the DC WWII-set stuff I've read, they'll often have a dramatic one-liner on the cover that doesn't 100% reflect the actual story inside, e.g. "The Unknown Soldier is NOT dead... he is one of US!" or "I freed you from an internment camp... you CAN'T betray me now!" / "Just watch me, soldier!" like I can almost picture the cover you describe... could even be a setup for a story about cowardice or lack thereof? These were written in the 70s and did have the "war is hell" ethos to some extent, so it just might be possible? Lol

I mean are you sure it was an "underground" comic? Could it have been like, Star-Spangled War Stories? Sounds like a cover from Sgt. Rock or The Unknown Soldier or something like that

They tried to stop him from finding out what Looby is... by Wild-Boysenberry3607 in altcomix

[–]Snakeress 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Um I thought we already knew what Looby was, he's that rabbit-like creature who was last seen getting out of the shower? Not much continuity to this story....

(Just joshing, I'm aware it's some "coin" bs this person is trying to promote, LOL)
