Deranged rant in a very specific format.

I mean

What I'm getting are archive reference requests from truly delirious bots

Oh for sure. Just saying the galleries do like to flex their connections with these NFS-esque shows.

From what I gathered there may be only a few for sale, the majority are on loan from museums and foundations.

I may be real but I'm starting to doubt it

Y'all need to start moderating your comments. Getting ugly in there.

Go to a Nets game if you don't wanna be seen

They open the door and find no one. Whatever it was has finished. Everything is perfectly fine.

Are the results from this survey being supplied to Anthropic?

No, it's that soap tastes like cilantro. It's great my tacos are delicious.

Deceptive because it is deceived

I'm training for a marathon and this is just like Thursday after work, plus beer.

Can you explain that difference for us non-therapists so that we might make use of it in the future?

Maturing as time demands of us

Haha of course

David Macaulay's Way Things Work or his titles on Castle, Pyramid, City etc.

Stanislaw Lem's 137 Seconds

This is a great joke. Mentally upsetting.

Simply one of the greatest vocal performances of all time.

Marc have you listened to Andrew Hickey's "500 songs" podcast on People Get Ready? It's great.

Something to be said about the improvememt of the physical book here. The Peanuts and Pogo books were printed badly on poor quality paper. The later C+H anthologies - floppy covers, wide format - were easy to read and durable.

That's right. AMP also published the wildly popular Far Side desk calendars, and even published anthologies of strips not syndicated by UPS.

Very few comics were anthologized into discreet chronological books before the 80s. Peanuts, Pogo, and Mad magazine might have been it. Doonesbury's successful anthologies encouraged AMP to publish more. Marketing those books specifically to children via Scholastic emerged in the 80s.

This is absolutely true. AMU's creation of gocomics was designed to make use of this new distro channel just as newspaper syndication began to crater.

Followed by seagulls everywhere you go

Also Andrews McMeel Publications was distinct from Universal Press Syndicate tho they had the same owners. AMP allowed UPS to prosper outside of syndication alone, and was one reason they could survive Wattersons's "no licensing" stance.

Same age as you, worked at Andrews McMeel Universal as an adult. Can confirm this as a strategy adopted sometime mid-80s. One of AMU's major distro channels was Scholastic catalogs in public schools.
