So I guess, in the fictional setting of the cartoon Alec that draws the strip, she's already broken up with him.

So is Rönkä like, poor now? Or was it just his house he lost? (I assumed he's rich enough that he can easily buy a new one, maybe not in cash, but once he logged & sold some lumber) I mean he still has those Ekoday shares and I understand they aren't worthless? I find this stuff a bit hard to follow.

Glad to know I was wrong. Keep in mind that, in terms of in-universe time, it has only been 6 or 7 years since the start of Bad Machinery (3 Bad Machinery cases = 1 year in universe). howe_sam posted:I dislike the new Mildred, her head is more ovally than I remember. Winklebottom posted:I think the lipstick is throwing me off more, she looks more recognizable in the cover image On the other hand remember that Mildred is around 19 years old in this story. When we last saw her she was only 15/16.

His Divine Shadow posted:So is Rönkä like, poor now? Or was it just his house he lost? (I assumed he's rich enough that he can easily buy a new one, maybe not in cash, but once he logged & sold some lumber) I don't think Rönkä is completely penniless, but he certainly is not rich anymore. The property his house is on was sold through Uffe to a supermarket chain and pretty much everything else was put on Ekoday shares. As far as I understand it Ekoday was hacked into pieces and sold on, with nothing left but the properties and equipment in Mämmilä. The comic is very vague about what actually happened and I'm sure people who actually know about this stuff can point out a lot of holes in the story.

Happy new year team! Better late than never. Nekonaughey is the creation of prolific Japanese artist Q-rais. The titular cat is just an everyday cat struggling through modern. It has no set schedule so I only post it when there's a new one to translate. Occasionally I will translate and post the back catalogue as Classic Cat when it's a slow day at work.  Bogor is a New Zealand comic strip about a woodsman that I'm scanning from collections and posting because honestly it's getting close to completely unavailable - unless you arrange with a library to view their archive copies the only source is whatever collections you can find in a second-hand store because it hasn't been printed in over thirty years. For the new year we're starting a new collection, so I'm going to timg the bumper images before the first strip.

Guess I should do this.. Charles Addams was a keen observer of the human condition and tested the boundaries of good faith, good taste, and the absurdity of so-called civilized man. Reality is occasionally bent a little. His (usually) single-page cartoons ran in the New Yorker magazine for most of thirty years. The only recurring characters were an un-named extended family (with hired(?) help), residing in a dilapidated Victorian mansion, that appeared to consist of oddballs raising sociopaths, but appearances are deceiving. Good news! There is a fifth collection, Drawn and Quartered, which appears to be the first compilation of Addams' NY Magazine works - from 1942, I believe. I have just acquired it. BUT it's not yet arrived... So I am beavering away on the earliest collection I have! Now it's time for... Addams and Evil - 1947     This is a really dated joke that I am old enough, and AI enough, to get: These mighty hunters are spiriting round in an American Bantam, which, at the time, was the smallest American car on the road. It was basically a glorified go-kart, and a miracle that such a thing could ever be street-legal. Such was the US, pre-Interstate Highway System. https://forums.aaca.org/gallery/image/14727-1940-american-bantam-roadster-maroon-black-rvr/ They're the grand-daddy of the Jeep, and - believe it or not - still street-legal!   a rare 2-in-1     Think I finally figured out the moire issue with the scanner.

Kennel posted:Dustin The fact that Dustin's dad is going "I'll give you money if you stop having fun" instead of offering to pay for a studio or some other place where they can practice without annoying him tells you everything you need to know about this man. Classic Kevin and Kell (November 16-20, 1998)      Reminder that A Bug's Life ends with the hero tricking the villain into being painfully torn apart and eaten by an apex predator. So it kinda fits in this universe.
