Please do not say The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, Peanuts, Garfield, Heathcliff, or Nancy as those are not lesser-known comic strips/fairly popular online.
Please reblog for sample size!

Whitley: Good morning, sister. Where are you off to?
Winter: I'm just picking up a check from the department of huntress affairs.
Whitley: Really? There's a department for that?
Winter: Why wouldn't there be?
Whitley: Well, this is only my opinion, but if a huntress cheats, I believe that's her business and nobody else's.
Winter: No, Whitley, that's not-
Whitley: And you get paid to do it, too?

❌ "Unalive": appeasing corporate censorship, has an inappropriate connotation in serious discussions, overall cringe

Listed: The Spatulas — Part 1
The Spatulas churn out uneasy jangle pop straight from the garage — or, more literally, the storage unit where the band met to play and beat back their pandemic frustrations. Their sound is built on blunt yet psychedelic melodies, chopping guitar, and rhythms that lurch then steady themselves. Assembled in various forms over the last several years, the Oregon-based quartet released March Chant, their first EP,in December of 2023. Alex Johnson found it “raw and charming…a full band record [that pairs] the relief at venting your anger and the goofy waywardness of distracting yourself with a joyful noise.”
Miranda's List:
A bunch of songs that seem to make me me...
Mope Grooves — Look At The Time, 2018
youtube
Catchiest song ever. My friend Stevie made a bunch of wonderful music in her lifetime and was a beautiful person. Everything she put out on her label, See My Friends Records is great, and she included many of my fellow Oregonians on Mope Grooves albums. Our previous Spats drummer, Kyle closes out this song "Look At The Time" with that wave of nostalgic synth sound.
Pip Proud — De Dum De Dum, 1967
youtube
The original recording of this Pip Proud album is golden all the way through. I listened to this alone on a sheep farm in Oregon in the middle of rainy winter in 2021 and it influenced my writing a lot.
Nico — One More Chance, 1983
youtube
Nico at her most gothic rock. I love this echoey version — makes me wanna dance! The beat is great. Ambient synth sounds abound; her vocals incredible as ever... The origins of The Drama of Exile, her fifth album — so full of drug-addled dysfunction!
Pearls Before Swine — Playmate, 1967
youtube
One Nation Underground is one of my most listened-to records; the grooves are worn. I used to cover the opener song, “Another Time” pre-Spats, with my Partners, Buddies and Pals. “Playmate” is the upbeat, second song on the album, a cover of an old children’s song, which I think is perfect for me. “(Oh Dear) Miss Morse,” is another hit on side A, on side B it's “Uncle John” and “Surrealistic Waltz.”
Grace Slick & The Great Society — Often As I May, 1966
youtube
This song propels you along. It sounds so beautiful, like a traditional folk song, yet a Slick original. Great fun to sing along with this gal.
Lou Reed — Waves of Fear, 1981
youtube
Robert Quine’s guitar hits the spot, and with Lou’s voice and guitar, those lyrics — so hard!
Yoko Ono & Plastic Ono Band — Why, 1970
youtube
The most adventurous and exciting song ever. Yoko’s primal screaming, with John’s guitar wailing, and Klaus, and Ringo clipping along... WHYYYYYY????? A brilliant reminder to LET IT OUT.
The Bats — Made Up in Blue, 1986
youtube
Beloved. Great bass. The song that I think put this Flying Nun band on the map, leading up to another special full album, Daddy’s Highway from 1987, the year I was born. The accompanying music video is a treasure!
Broadcast — I Found The F, 2005
youtube
We’re so lucky to have the album Tender Buttons, and the band Broadcast. The album was made while singer Trish Keenan’s father was dying of cancer, six years before she herself died of pneumonia from swine flu. Knowing this makes it all the more eerily personal and sweet-sounding for me. Both my parents were dead by the time I was 32, so I’m familiar with making art as a response to grief.
Don Cherry and Organic Music Theater — Om Shanti Om, 1976
youtube
This is the full live performance at RAI Studios in Rome, Italy, for television broadcast. Listen to the ~47-minute album Om Shanti Om as much needed meditation. Imagine also all Moki Cherry’s tapestries in full color, as featured in the Blank Forms book I was so engrossed in last summer.

Charles Schulz's 100th Birthday: A Cartoonist Tribute (November 2022)
In honor of what would have been Charles M. "Sparky" Schulz's 100th birthday on November 26, 2022, syndicated cartoonists across the country have paid tribute to the Peanuts creator in their own comic strips published on the date. Schulz is the only cartoonist ever to receive this honor - a fitting tribute for a man who devoted his entire life to cartooning.

guardian angels, pearls before swine (1968).
you're trapped in a world of angels who no longer care
in the space where his hand was my hand is
reaching out for you there
love is the weapon left after the fall
it may not seem like much, but, girl, that's all that there is
girl, i love you

Momoi Taro v.s. Stephan Pastis
Momoi Taro - Avataro Sentai Donbrothers
Momoi was born from a peach, he is infuriatingly perfect aside from his poor acting skills and inability to lie lest he die. (though he can be revived by being fed kidibango) Missed important battles because he got called into work, twice. His neighbors protested against him when he was 8 and he regularly shows up to battle by being carried by shirtless men. Read more about Momoi below.
Stephan Pastis - Pearls Before Swine
The degenerate loser self insert of cartoonist, Stephen Pastis. He's depicted as a heavy smoker and gets divorced by his wife, so he lives in a basket on her porch. All things completely unlike and opposite to the real Stephan Pastis. His characters hate him and beat him up. Read more about Stephan below.
Full description of Momoi:
“He was born from a peach. He delivers packages but will also just barge into the homes of strangers to help them with stuff bc now they have a bond. He will literally die if he tells a lie but can be revived by feeding him 300 kibidango. He is infuritatingly perfect at everything and is hated for it. Missed an important final battle with his enemy who is also in love with him bc someone called out at work so he had to go to work instead. This happened twice. One of those fights were planned while underwater in a pool. I'm still not sure why he regularly beat up his own team mates while laughing at them. He can leave his body behind and turn into a little robot. He broke into a house and tried to stuff his team mate into a fridge bc it might lead to another dimension. Despite being unable to lie he Can act and seems to enjoy it but it's somehow the Only thing he sucks at and to a hilarious extend. Still gets the role in a movie. Invited his mortal enemy out to dinner. Showed the greatest amount of emotion at the mention of his childhood pet beetle. When he was 8 years old all his neighbors hated him so much they did a protest against him. When I think about him it doesn't feel like there's any reason for him to be cool and yet he somehow is. Regularly shows up to battle carried by a bunch of shirtless beefy men. Was faced with an extremely intimidating piece of paper and gobbled it down in one bite, no hesitation. I'm extremely bad at writing and I feel like nothing I could say could properly live up to the wackiness of anyone in this show tbh.”
Full description of Stephan:
“Self-insert of the cartoonist but instead of being idealized like most self-inserts, fictional-Stephan is intentionally made laughably pathetic. For starters, instead of the other characters praising him or being his friends, they regularly insult and physically attack him as punishment for his bad drawing/writing (Rat often hits him over the head with a baseball bat after elaborate pun strips, for example). What's more, fictional-Stephan is usually shown smoking heavily, to the point fans have made passionate pleas to the real Stephan to quit... but real Stephan has actually never smoked a day in his life, he just makes the character do it "to look like a degenerate loser" (his words, not mine). In recent years, there was a plotline in the strip where fictional-Stephan's wife Staci divorces him and kicks him out of the house, so he lives out of a basket on her porch (really) and there are many jokes relating to it at his expense (my personal favorite being when she tried to donate him to the Salvation Army). This caused people who knew real Stephan and his wife to reach out and ask if everything was okay or if they were really getting divorced, but in reality their marriage is perfectlyfine and Staci was aware and approved of the plotline, it was done purely to make his own self-insert the most ludicrous butt-of-the-joke imaginable. We need more self-insert characters like this tbh, 11/10”
