loaded? Odd word in this context IMO

[drmorgans]

"Lorded" maybe?

[davebro]

I think she means "lauded" again.

As a child I learned a lot of vocabulary reading comics - obviously the OP didn't!

[emmie]

this is the same question but by a different poster..

[emmie]

[pastafreak]

Deja vu...?

[Peter Pedant]

probably Gilbert Shelton who none of us have heard of

first comic is meant to be Ali Sloper's Bazaar 1889
or was until they found an earlier 1d
( or wun punts as some say now)

GS pioneered various tecnics now er lauded such as |Frames merging into others - arrows to show the flow around the page
and such things as Freddie in one frame helping himself to a plate off biccies in another

one of the family does this ( it has a technical name - frame designer, illustrator some goddam noun)

Fat freddie's cat
fredddie would be in one frame (watching tv ) whilst the cat got to kiddy adventures in others
