Gonna talk about ordinary citizens who receive stolen property go to jail, but members of the Press Priesthood are immune? Has 14th Amendment implications, too.
Eric, I don't think so. I'm tied to the AP/ College Board curriculum on this one, and their focus is, ah, a little different. (I keep grousing about the textbook's bias. Then I read through the college textbook. NeeeEEEEEeevermind.)
The Dallas newspaper Sunday "funnies" include at least two re-run strips, Schultz's Peanuts and Lynn Johnson's For Better or Worse. There may be others -- I mean, who can actually tell if Prince Valiant or Family Circus is a re-run or not? (Anybody can tell an old Doonesbury from a new one -- the old one will be funny. The DMN doesn't run those. ) Anyhow --
There is a deep archive of great and timeless political or just thoughtful adventure cartooning out there. Lil' Abner, Pogo, Steve Canyon, Dick Tracy... As suggested by the single strip above, I would dearly love to see a page, or website, edited with a mind to matching the events comically interpreted in the past matched to events occurring, or re-occurring, at the current moment. What was Pogo saying about over-loaded presidential primary season? What sort of secret adventures did Air Force Colonel Steve Canyon attempt in Crimea? What sort of impact would an influx of free stuff -- Shmoos -- on the economy of Dogpatch?
I want a curated match running the weeks of a comic strip story line, to be replaced with a whole 'nother strip later. But I worry about what sort of copyright trouble a person would be in, if say, a daily strip from 1948 started re-streaming on Twitter.
In 1973 that was a joke.
ReplyDeleteIn 2019, that *is* the process. Incroyable....
Everything old is *alas* new again.
ReplyDeleteI may use that in class next week (New York Times, the 1st Amendment, and the Pentagon Papers.)

ReplyDeleteInterpreting the topic a bit differently:

Both Doonsbury and Bloom County has ‘Donald Trump for President’ strips in 1988. Those would be interesting to see again.
