More specifically there was the belief at the time that green apples -- I assume this means underripe -- could cause death. This is the first source I could pull up on google about it that has newspaper headlines about it.

https://www.sarahalbeebooks.com/2014/10/13878/

I can't say how true it is given that nobody seems to warn about it in this day and age, but kids seem far less likely to come across apple trees in modern America so I dunno.

I like to think he ate several apples, and then got a serious but treatable disease. And then the apples kept the doctor away for too many days and RIP.

I know it's a Spaceman Spiff fantasy so the commitment to accuracy is somewhat fluid. But as a space nerd I have to point out that the 200-inch scope at Mt. Palomar uses a mirror, not a lens. That's true of every big scope; the biggest objective-lens refractor ever built has a diameter of only 40 inches, if I remember right.

e: Also, the focal length of such a lens would be way less than the distance from outer space to the ground. In fact it'd be roughly the length of the telescope it was taken from, for reasons that make sense if you think about them for a moment. But now I'm getting really over-picky.

I have six zucchini plants for a household of two and we don't end up in that situation because we pick them when they're small and maximally delicious.

This was when the attitudes towards Somali refugees were getting really nasty (or at least getting mainstream attention) with skinheads attacking black people with baseball bats. One guy got 18 month sentence for hounding American basketball player (referred in the 7th panel).

I believe things calmed down a bit after those incidents.

He's going to try, and she's going to shoot him in the back and leave anyway.

If you look back, none of this is actually happening: Everything since June 30th has been old man Mozz telling him what would happen if he goes to Gravelines, so he's 100% going to die at some point in this story.

I thought Mozz just talked to him and Phantom was doing it anyways but looking back I think you might be right.

No, your comments make sense and your criticisms are valid....


....is what I'd say if these strips were about Spaceman Spiff. This is STUPENDOUS MAN, whose stupendous powers are easily able to turn a mirror into a lens, and who regularly phlouts physics on the phly.

It's 1979, you're through the first 13 books already?

That said, we've not seen any of the "Bugs Meany tries to get Encyclopedia Brown arrested, again" stories.

Given that it seems open-and shut, we're probably looking at en exoneration, or EB wouldn't be lurking. Disorganized restaurant critic, who consistently nearly misses article deadlines?
