I've shared a bunch of Jucika strips here:
https://piefed.social/post/1258520

I have many more coming up, as long as you understand that "Jucika" is also a Hungarian / Magyar heroine to me. I.e. she puts lecherous doofuses in their places. Something a bit for the times, eh?

That's awesome! Finding old comics like this is so entertaining to me.

Excellent!
Could you share one of your other favorites, perhaps?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sure! The first that comes to mind is this one where she's a stewardess and adapting to the clientele in each country. I was confused at first, thinking "Oh, she has a beaker on her head, so it's saying that in Budapest they appreciate brains!" but after looking it up, I think it's supposed to be wine, lol.

Interesting!
As a kid who's been to Budapest, and Lake Balaton, I'd be fascinated to know what that's all about.

Thank you! <3

Make a Don Quixote bot instead. It’ll try to fight a windmill.

Of course there’s a relevant XKCD 😆

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 days ago

This one almost never comes up, but it's my favorite.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Obviously. There always is.

Toss in a mango and a child rapist, and you've got Trump!

Imagine, all of the cultural mistakes and prejudices of the past are in written format and freely available for AI to be trained with!

Maybe the AI can discern the 1960s science fiction lingo as imaginary, or the societal norms women used to have in science and literature as old fashioned. But I sure do hope AI does not make suggestions based on religious scriptures, even if many people claim to believe the stuff to be true.

Lol Don Juan...

Edit : do you have a source for this? Curious about the year and country it was made. It's got a nice style

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I've been seeing this comic making rounds on various social media recently and also like the style. It's called Jucika and was a Hungarian comic from 1957-1970. I have a bunch saved in my "for Lemmy" folder on my phone now, so I'll be posting more of them.

Most of them seem to be drawn without captions/dialogue, so the jokes translate well.

Wow, this is great! I've seen a bunch of these before but never in a more concerted effort. Looking forward to it.

Amazing, thanks
