Ah, so it was, indeed, a rash. :v: Also, that pistol doesn't look much like a Luger to me.

Seriously. The Luger is one of the most iconic firearms in the history of the world. I'm sure most people here would be able to draw a reasonable approximation from memory alone, but Brooke? Nope, he turns in ... whatever the gently caress that loving this is. And is that a trigger guard or a wedding ring?

I have to assume this refers to the Iran-Contra scandal, since the timing (early 1987) seems about right for continued fallout from that affair.

Kadaver didn't leave a body, so I'm willing to put 'secret escape tunnel at the bottom of cement pool' as a possible out. Or hell, he's a special effects man, why can't he be a Houdini fan too? And Blackjack's possibly the safest a villain can get in Tracy, so long as he avoids becoming TOO noble and sacrificing himself to save an innocent or something. If you don't commit unspeakable acts, you can't die ironically as a result of your own evil!

It's a comic strip. Unless we see a body, he's fair game to reappear somewhere down the road. Out of the Tracy villains we have hanging around now, both BB Eyes and Mumbles were "killed" at least once before. (If we do see a body, there's still plenty of ways around that.)

I know Mike du Jour is awful. I really do. But this one just gets under my skin. I could believe he didn't know what a "new years resolution" was until the last panel where it becomes obvious he does know and it just becomes an aggravating exercise in wanting your cake and eating it too. It would've been a better comic if the last panel was just left off entirely and the guy was just an rear end in a top hat like all the other MdJ characters.

The Phantom strips are organized by story, while Rip is organized by month. I started collecting the latter just to try and make sense of the haphazard plotting, but it's grown on me.

The luger wasn't the only German sidearm of WW II but it doesn't look like any of the others either. Basically Brooke doesn't care.

That Fingerpori luger in the ss driving gag is well rendered and so was the Out Our Way 1903 Elf was shooting (thanks Cyrano4747 for the positive ID).

For those of you playing at home, Mumbles has been:

-Stranded on a life raft in the middle of the ocean for days
-Punctured same raft and drowned
-Fell out of a helicopter and drowned in a swamp*
-Fell out of the top story of a luxury hotel**

Mumbles can not, will not, die.

* He used yoga to fake his own death
** He landed in a pool, because by that point bodies of water owed him one. Also, this was Mumbles' "Clone", 'made' by Dr. Zy Ghote giving Mumbles plastic surgery because ???

Holy Molé
Here's another comic that I sometimes post. Holy Molé (pronounced "moley") is a comic strip by Rick Hotton that appears in numerous newspapers, magazines, and online publications. It's basically zen in comic strip form. The titular character is a mole who goes on a spiritual journey for enlightenment. Other characters include a wise old turtle, a cat who likes to lie around, some penguins, and others.

TL;DR version: It's a zen comic.

- It's a pity I can't ride my bicycle in the slippery winter...
- Sure you can, with studs!


The word for tyre studs is nastat, which also means thumbtacks or pins. Moreover, the adessive case (-lla) translates differently to English depending on where and how it's used: nastoilla can mean "with studs" (instrumental use) or "on tacks" (position, on top of something).


As an aside, it always feels a little weird to change the Finnish passive voice into active in English. It feels like they're too forward. I wish "one can't ride one's bicycle", "sure one can!" were normal speech.
