I love sharing these, and am indebted to gocomics.com for making comics scholarship so easy and shareable. This time, enjoy Cory Thomas’ Watch Your Head takes on Tyler Perry (who, lest we forget, created Madea as a stage character), a couple of episodes from a longer storyline in Preteena mocking school pageants and high school musicals simultaneously, and the triumphant return of the Vitamin Flintheart to the annals of Dick Tracy. The pill-popping, Barrymoresque actor-turned-agent Flintheart first appeared in the strip in 1944, and made comebacks in every decade since.
I’ve topped the sampling off with a couple of the random gag strips with which gocomics is so happily saturated. I feel like cartoonists have a special understanding of live theater, and no visit to gocomics.com (subscribe already!) fails to remind me of that.
