This year's Best Picture nominees deserve to be seen as classic comic strips
Sunday is the 90th Academy Awards, so naturally I tried to think of the dumbest thing I could do to honor them.
Truthfully, the Best Picture category is more stacked than it's been in my memory. Almost all of the most-honored movies are already classics, and they're a clear representation of the year's best in cinema. (Though I would have also preferred that The Florida Project, Killing of a Sacred Deer, and mother! were up there as well.) Still, it's been a great year for movies and good on the Oscars for recognizing that.
So what if -- stay with me here -- we could see these movies as classic newspaper comic strips?
Pretty good idea, right?
So, I tried my best. I gave it my all. But I couldn't find a good way in for The Post. Sorry.
Also there are some LIGHT SPOILERS.
Here they are, for your consideration:
Ziggy's Darkest Hour
Family Circus outside Ebbing, Missouri
Topics Oscars
I have done neat stuff all over these United States from sailing lessons on the Puget Sound to motorcycle maintenance on the backroads of upstate New York. My professional experience extends from newspaper reporting in the mountains of Eastern Oregon to fixing espresso machines throughout Kentucky. I also have kept a cat alive for 10 years.
