Bump if you're reading

Yay, more Sunny.

>I am bored.
>And hot!
Uh, you might attract the wrong attention sitting next to that message, Sunny.

>>149587348
Tony's a cool guy. I hope he stays a cool guy. Is this volume going to turn into a Tony vs. Brian Sunnybowl?

Please keep this thread alive for me, ok?

>>149587021
Minimum wage in Pennsylvanian in 1978 was like $2.20.

>>149587601
That's why she is the perfect lifeguard.

>>149588276
One of the few benefits of having children is you can get them to work for cheap or for free. Sunny's Mom's sharp

>>149588461
>cute and funny
No fucking way.

>>149588513
Sunny is very adorable.

>>149587135
Is having a (deep) deep end not a thing anymore? The far end of the pool at my community centre goes down to like 20 feet, and that place was built in 1993.

>>149588599
Jeez, mom, chill!

The Mom is probably putting the hammer down because of the older brother's shinanigans

>>149587804
>>149587811
I know this is most likely it's the 70's and they didn't talk about that kind of stuff. But I really think if the mom is worried she should have a talk her preteen daughter especially since all her friends minus deb are boys.

>>149589272
lol, Gramps confirmed best character.

>>149586773 (OP)
Okay so when does the bimbo transformation fetishism start

>>149589443
>Pool's closed
Did Dawn call for /b/lackup?

>>149589327
Why didn't they go and see Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Rescuers or Superman several times as they first came out and were Blockbuster hits around the time these Graphic Novels are set?

>>149589514
The story actually seems very specific wrt dates, this is August 1978 so I'm not sure any of those movies would have been showing then. They could however have seen Debbie Does Dallas.

And that's it, ride ends here. There are two other books (one even came out this month so I don't think the series is over yet) but this is as far as I can go. No rips, scans, Internet Archive rentals, or even potato quality pdfs.
Thanks for the bumps everyone

>>149587631
That's impressive for a ten year old girl to open a jar of sauerkraut. Even I struggle with it

thanks for the dump! a great read

>>149589776
Thanks a lot OP, I really enjoyed these. More than I expected to given the intended audience. While the art is simple both it and the writing are good at conveying a real sense of Sunny's feelings. Hopefully the others get ripped at some point.

>>149589743
>I've been wondering if you can deep fry a candy bar
Yes you can, Sunny. Indeed you can.

>>149588767
It's just good

>>149589111
I see that one at the thrift store a lot

>>149589514
The author probably personally remembers going to see this one, I've never even heard of it

>>149589776
Thanks OP, HAGS

>>149586773 (OP)
I have this book

I kind of have a hunch that the series is building up to Sunny and Deb having an actual messy fallout by the time they reach high school

>>149587723
And that's why you don't run!

>>149586773 (OP)

Thanks anon, enjoyed these. Is there a fifth volume or is this the last one?

>>149593962
There's a fifth and sixth volume but they haven't been ripped

>>149593973
I hope 5 and 6 get ripped soon. I enjoyed these way more than I thought I would. I ended up reading all 4 in one sitting and I think I probably would have read 5 and 6 too if they were up. They're really quick reads.

>>149588543
>>149588561
Ouch

Thank you for the story time OP, these books were very comfy. I forget how nice it is to turn your brain off and just enjoy a simple story.

You know, if it wasn't for being an awful time for animation and vidya being in its cave painting era I'd say the 70's seemed to be a pretty cool time to grow up on
Please correct me if I'm wrong

>>149594575

As shown in these books, who cares about shitty Hannah Barbera cartoons being dominant when you've got the golden age of procedural family tv shows?

>>149594575
>>149594633
I bet scenes like this>>149589235
Don't exist anymore.

>>149594658

I used to sit down and watch tv with my entire family on a Saturday night in... the 2000s. Fuck I'm old

>>149589057
How old was she again when the story started, I think she was 8.

>>149594742
10 just about to turn 11 I think. It was early 1976 and it’s late 1978 now.

>>149589162
This was nice light reading, thank you very much. Glad things are going good for Sunny. Also I can't be the only one to notice that despite her having shades on every comic cover not once does she wear them in the stories themselves. I am starting to think she doesn't even owns a pair of those specific shades.

>>149594804
But this time she actually does >>149587058

>>149588599
>Tony's a filthy Yank fan
He's not worth it Sunny

>>149589648
Star Wars apparently did get a re-release around that time, everything else wither came out too early or too late for the time window

>>149589575
Yay Sunny! Why the fuck does this comic for kids feel more emotionally moving than anything I’ve read for an “adult” audience in years?

>>149587200
>>149587210
Been there Sunny, been there.

>>149587348

Older ladies have experience Jay, don't knock it!

>>149590389
I think I'll wait til later, this is too sweet to really corrupt yet at least. Let the threads be mostly clean for now. Could be a general thread for her or scholastic characters later.

>>149590542
Yeah, he should have come in at the end there "Honey, everyone will be out of the house..."
"Hmm? Oh. Ooooh... <3 "

>>149596499
because media like this doesn't interrupt every scene with "lmao you're taking this seriously? retard, here's a quip"

>>149597318
Yeah, that’s probably it, actually. It’s just sincere.

>>149588655

>>149589117
>The most shocking thing about the 1970s in retrospect is the freedom kids were afforded. We were basically running wild all day. Even my ten-year-old daughter says that the 1970s sounded like the “funnest” time ever. And, in a way, it was. Kids had a ton of independence back then. We walked ourselves to school. We played in dangerous places. We used fireworks – I still have all my fingers.

great comfy reads. thank you OP

>>149597277
>general thread for her or scholastic characters later.
She's over a decade apart (both in and out of universe) but I kind of like the idea she'd unironically be into G.A.S.P. (yeah yeah I know Amelia Rules isn't technically Scholastic but that didn't stop us before) complete with making up a Swamp Thing inspired get-up and being the one girl who likes talking to Reggie about comics which makes Amelia and especially Rhonda (depending on if it's before or after her character development) jealous
She might quit when things get too chaotic but would still probably talk to the guy

>>149599787

>>149599787
Cool i guess

She's almost 60 now.

Let me try to translate from spaghetti.
Sweet Myrtle
You came so softly along the way
I searce heard your footsteps fall
'Juas oh so good we met that day
Now joined we stroll along life's hall
I hear your laughter fill the air,
and listen for your song
The shining day is oh so fair,
Because you came along.

>>149586793

>>149594793
So she was born in 1967 right?

>>149603529
>>149604004
This. The Inuit would like a word with you.

Would you play D&D with her?

>>149606520
It's "scarce", means scant, few, little. You silly goose. Clearly you didn't pay enough attention in English class either.

>>149608426
No

>>149609298
:(

>>149603529

Sunny? On her covers at least

>>149607387
Approximately yeah
The writer was born in 1968

>>149589886
And I thought deep fried oreos were bad enough

I will read this one later. I need to go and get my sick papers.
This few weeks sucked, but I really enjoy this story time. Thank you Anon!

>>149611438
Hope your papers are feeling better soon, Anon.

>>149587262
The descriptions of 70s pop culture in this comic never cease to slay me.

>>149587917
This page, of course, is totally incomprehensible to anyone who didn't grow up pre-cell phones.

>>149588708
Another page incomprehensible to the cell phone generation.

>>149612558
People still understand the pay phone
Next decade though they won’t

>>149588872
I got one of those for my 9th birthday, I think. It was a Ross rather than a Schwinn and a boy's model rather than a girl's, but other than that it was the same. Had a heck of a time learning to ride it (it was my first bike), but I ended up putting massive milage on it over the years.

>>149588872
>>149612614
I never could get used to those handles

>>149613069
They are pretty awkward. They're designed for you to be hunched over while riding, which makes sense if you're racing but not if you're just leisurely riding.

>>149612558
They can figure it out by context alone

So when do you think the series will end?
Two more books?

>>149611438
Bump for you

>>149594658

>>149616511
Comfy

is this uooh approved reading

>>149599337
This is backwards; the shocking thing is how much freedom has been taken away since.

>>149621288
She's cute but unless you're into badly drawn feet you're not going to get anything out of this but wholesome growing up vibes.

>>149621578
The open back of her swimsuit isn't bad...

>>149621288
>>149621955
Sunny is for hugs only

>>149622757
Special hugs

>>149621288
>>149621955
>>149622815
Nothing stays wholesome forever.
Here's my suggestion to get the ball rolling. >>149587508 Sunny bending over to reach the ice cream in the freezer. She doesn't realize the cold of the freezer has made her nipples hard, while a flustered Tony tries to look away.

>>149622941
Nice.

>>149621288
Maybe

>>149616511

SUNNY!!!

>>149607387
>>149610214
>Sunny has her 13th Birthday in 1978
>1978 minus 13 equals the year she was born
I know you can do this anons, I believe in you.

>>149625735
You don't even need the 19 to find out.

>>149625735
Okay, I'll admit I didn't notice the exact the number while reading

>>149625735
She's older than I am!

Cute blonde girls make me feel high

>>149588923
wait...is this the page that was edited? or am i thinking of something else?

>>149586773 (OP)
She looks cute in that swimsuit.

>>149587012
Run, Sunny!
RUN!!!!

>>149587021
That's a 5 dollars in 2025

>>149587034
i definitely agree to the latter statement

>>149631425
Same

I wonder what their parents and fellows think of the eastern europe?

>>149587200
She'll burn up on re-entry!

>>149632371
Those russians again, her mom said.

>>149587314
Not everyone will agree with her.

>>149587314
The boy would not think those kinds of things at that age yet.

>>149590596
Maybe

The books are cheap and available electronically, how does one rip an ebook from Google play?

>>149634399
What format do they come in from Google? I was looking at possibly doing this myself, I've done it before but not for a while. I'd want to get them from somewhere they'll come in an easier format to rip rather than weird proprietary shit like Amazon uses though.

HOLY SHIT SUNNY NEEDS BACKUP /B/ROS

>>149600887
i remember from a few threads ago where someone made an au where all these kind of characters end up at a boarding school which is trapped in a timeloop until the characters finally adress their character flaws and can happily grow up. Maybe shes like a substitute teacher or smth, idk

>>149636914

Are you please gonna link the next dump thread dumpanon?

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

>>149637850
>And that's it, ride ends here. There are two other books (one even came out this month so I don't think the series is over yet) but this is as far as I can go. No rips, scans, Internet Archive rentals, or even potato quality pdfs.
What part don't you get?

>>149637044
That's the thing that kinda gets me, I dunno which I prefer. On one hand, she is IRL and in-universe several decades older than the rest of the characters, so her being a teacher would be a nice cap off to her character, but on the other, Sunny is a very sweet girl and I'd like to see how she'd bounce off the other, "rougher-edged" Scholastic protagonists. Just the fact that she's from the 70's has a lot of potential.

>>149638150
>Is probably sent to therapy sessions with Amelia (assuming this is right after Dale hurting Sunny and Amelia's parents' divorce)
>Has no fucking clue why Raina loves cartoons so much because she grew up in the 70's (unless I'm proven wrong and there was something animated she did enjoy in one of the later books)
I don't think she'd be "canonized" since she's relatively new (series debuted in 2015) but she'd be a fun auxiliary

>>149637850
The storytime's over
The following books haven't been ripped

>>149639382
Sad but true

>>149640072

Cute drawing by the way

>>149640186
>I love you Sunny
>I mean, I love hot dogs, thank you Sunny

>>149638150
Greg canonically liked a Dungeon & Dragons pastiche so you could work something off of that

>>149640186
With a $1.50

>>149640353
Some should storytime it now

>>149640186
Adorable Sunny, thanks Anon!

>>149635147
I believe there are converters around

>>149637044
>>149638150
I like the idea that, despite being the nicest out of the group, Sunny is actually the toughest and bravest kid simply because, being from the 70's, she got out more, had a proper summer job at like age 11/12 and is overall more worldly compared to the rest of the group who are more comparatively coddled.

>>149642915
Not only she is nice she is also strong too.

>>149587465
Who has your vote?

>>149643204
I mean, after reading the whole thing it didn't really work out that way since Brian got put on a bus. I feel like it still might become a thing in a later volume though. Tony is a good guy, he cares about Sunny and they're very cute together but I can't help but feel a bit sorry for Brian if he liked her too. Particularly as a fellow loser nerd.

>>149587593
I'm unfamiliar with the snowcone.

>>149587737
That stuff started then already?

One last bump for love of Sunny.

>>149643521
It's literally just shaved ice with flavored syrup

>>149644763

Never gonna get the 5th book ripped anon

>>149640186
A nod, a smile, and I leave
I don't want to keep everyone else in line waiting

Hehehe get fucked kid

>>149647122
I expected the hot dog to land back in his mouth cause him to choke
I swear I've seen that gag before

>>149588111
You could DO that?
Without people stealing it?

>>149647941
It was the 70's

>>149647941
Back in the day people had their doors unlocked and everyone knew everyone in the area. But that's only the suburbs. Cities would jack your bike back then just like they would now.

>>149642915
>>149642915
maybe one day when i will actually start writing something, im gonna write that, or at least something similar to it. Though there will probably only be like 5 anons who read it, its hopefully still gonna be worth it.

>>149642915
If you're talking toughest socially sure
Nate and Rafe get into mischief and Amelia has thrown punches

>>149588839
It's 1000% over-correction.

>>149607671
Behold! Optic Blast!

>>149647122
lol good job

>>149638548
I see no particular reason why Sunny Lewin isn't in the group. She fits perfectly fine. I think it might be due to popularity. However, that's debatable because Amelia was big but became niche over the years. However, Amelia still got represented. Granted, Amelia Rules has over 20 years of advantage since its release date of June 6, 2001.

>>149650565
Amelia's there because /co/ Anons thought she'd be a good fit and whoever was running the list decided to add her upon review.
Amelia Rules was a critical darling that got VERY unlucky when it coming out (for example its' first actual publisher closed because its owner got hit by a bus).
If Sunny's a good fit, sure canonize her I don't use the alleged Discord.

>>149650721
theres a discord for that shit????????
Can you please tell me how i can find it or link it or some shit? I wanna talk about that au with other anons

>>149650758
>theres a discord for that shit????????
It's pure speculation because someone or some group must be keeping tabs on it given how frequent the shipping wiki page is updated and some OC gets posted here but not on Reddit

>>149650774
aw shit, okay thanks. Though where can i find the page for the shipping wiki(didnt even know theres a shipping wiki lol)

>just enjoying heartfelt comics about a 70s cutie

Speaking of the Scholastic Squad, I'd like to create an FNF mod about them in a similar vein to Indie Cross.

I have some ideas for track names, but that's it.

Okay, I'm only releasing some name titles. Most of the songs here are based on the character personalities rather than references. Additionally, most of the song names are working titles, as I'm not particularly fond of many of them, but I'm curious to hear your opinion.

>>149588641
These dolls and toys are trash.

Flipflops are decent poolwear or strapped sandals

>>149662798
Well i was waiting for the tournaments which is a month away

Let's say goodbye with a smile, dear
Just for a while dear we must part
Don't let this parting upset you
I'll not forget you, sweetheart
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
'Til the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
And I will just say hello
To the folks that you know
Tell them you won't be long
They'll be happy to know
That as I saw you go
You were singing this song
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day
