How Wonderful! posted:Dykes to Watch Out For (1987) My favorite part of this comic is that is highlights that people have always been privately awkward and insecure. It's relatable.

In this installment of Keeping Up with the Joneses, it's interesting to see how the techniques for presenting a joke have changed over the years. There's no reason for the woman to ask a total stranger if she needs to put a muzzle on her dog. I'm not sure if "cootie" is intended to be eye dialect for "cutie", or a reference to the then-new term "cooties" (meaning 'lice').

![]() Phew! We had a dangerous level of diversity in this strip for a while there, but at least that's over. Maybe now the DeGroots can rent the room to a nice straight girl. (Tiff maybe?) And if Gunther would finally get around to breaking up with Bets we'll be back to all straight white people!

Have some mid-afternoon Dykes to Watch Out For since I finished student conferences early:![]() I don't care to explain the Iran-Contra Scandal in detail, but it involved senior officials in the Reagan administration evading an arms embargo with Iran to sell weapons to the Khomeini government and using the proceeds to fund the right-wing Contras in Nicaragua. Oliver North was a central figure in this and was kind of a patron saint of the American right-wing of the period, and Reagan himself was implicated fairly damningly despite coming out of the whole thing comparatively unscathed. Hence Mo's evocation of "plausible deniability"-- how much did the president "know" versus how much did the president know. While "plausible deniability" had been formulated as a concept all the way back in 1948, and earned its name in the early 60s, the Iran-Contra scandal turned it into a household word. Here, have a bonus ngram about it: ![]() The Congressional hearings Mo is talking about began in May of 1987. Another one I feel dumb annotating: "Respect" was recorded by Otis Redding in 1965 and, more famously, by Aretha Franklin in 1967. Anecdotally, based off of talking to older colleagues after Franklin's death, she was hugely beloved by lgbtq+ people in the 80s, and "Respect" was adopted as readily by queer activists as it was by feminist and Civil Rights activists in the 60s.

Hence Mo's evocation of "plausible deniability"-- how much did the president "know" versus how much did the president know. Don't forget the CIA helping the Contras smuggling cocaine into the US and laundering a quarter of a billion dollars. As for whether Reagan knew what was going on or not, well... "Honest Ollie" North posted:"Ronald Reagan knew of and approved a great deal of what went on with both the Iranian initiative and private efforts on behalf of the contras and he received regular, detailed briefings on both...I have no doubt that he was told about the use of residuals for the Contras, and that he approved it. Enthusiastically." Casper "The Ghost" Weinberg posted:Handwritten notes by Defense Secretary Weinberger indicate that the President was aware of potential hostage transfers with Iran, as well as the sale of Hawk and TOW missiles to what he was told were "moderate elements" within Iran. Notes taken by Weinberger on 7 December 1985 record that Reagan said that "he could answer charges of illegality but he couldn't answer charge that 'big strong President Reagan passed up a chance to free hostages'". Most of Reagan's National Security Counsel was indicted and convicted for perjury, obstruction of justice, and evidence tampering, but Bush 41 pardoned everyone involved.
