How Wonderful! posted:-Believe it or not the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which cracked down on workplace discrimination based on disability and "required" public places to work towards accessibility, wasn't passed until 1990. (oblique spoiler)Of course it's more a setup for later events in the strip. Reading these reposts I'm reminded how many of the ideas here have really stuck with me over the years. "Reading something by somebody's who's not pale, white, and male is not going to kill you!" really stuck with me and altered my attitude toward the whole "great literary canon". curtadams fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Apr 21, 2020 |

curtadams posted:I got a very different take on this when it came out. I remember that at the time the lesbian and gay community made a point of trying to include people with disabilities, even if there weren't any in particular expected to show up. The attitude of general society was more that somebody with disabilities was supposed to ask for accommodations, and a group of able-bodied organizers preparing like this before even getting requests would be considered eccentric. So my take on this is it's establishing the group as part of the LGB (then) sub-culture. That's fair, I'm for sure reading it with the benefit of hindsight and perhaps unfairly expecting an action group in 1988 to resemble an action group in 2020. I do wonder how far Bechdel had plot stuff broadly planned out in advance. Obviously she does follow up on yesterday's pregnancy stuff pretty promptly but Thea doesn't show up until 1991.

Bogor 1976![]() ![]() the recipe presented is real, although its attribution to the roma is a product of othering. hedgehog as a food source in britain is attested to thousands of years bce, let alone thousands of years before the arrival of the roma. its use in dishes goes quite far back but diminishes as britain becomes increasingly urban and therefore more familiar with farm products rather than forest animals - beef wellington, for example, is supposedly just a traditional hedgehog recipe with beef substitute. as the landscape is increasingly filled with farms producing food for the cities, so those country farms lose their own traditions of 'country cuisine' in favour of the plenty they themselves produce and the idea of eating this meat is pushed even farther into the outskirts of society to those who have neither income nor land as a badge of how 'crude and unrecognisable' that other is. nettles, too, are another example of a very old traditional british food source that has been relegated to a novelty by industrialisation. as a local historical note, hedgehogs were one of the many items british settlers brought over simply so that they could have britain but with better weather. they are now rampant pests who actively endanger basically all native fauna from skinks, frogs, birds, insects, and even our wonderful giant carnivorous snail.

Ghostlight posted:and even our wonderful giant carnivorous snail. I've not encountered one of those, but I did once get bitten by a slug. Well, scraped by a slug. It took me a moment to realise what the slug was trying to do, and when I did, I so admired it's gumption that I set it free with a salute. So from spineless creatures to comic collections (with spines!) in today's Corto Maltese: The Argentinean mafia has a high turnover rate, or Fosforito is confused, and rightfully so, or Corto finds out he's not just looking for Louise ![]() ![]() ![]()

Medenmath posted:Vintage Valiant (Nov. 06, 1938) maybe a bit of a stretch but there's an element of Alfred the Great and his hiding out on the swamp hillfort of Athelney (after being chased there by the viking Guthrum)...which i am guessing Hal Foster was aware of is and weaving into this all.

It has simple visual gags and was probably an inspiration for Dark Side of the Horse.

Mämmilä![]() Bill cutting (setelinleikkaus) was a forced loan to the state done in 1946. It meant that all 500, 1000 and 5000 markka bills were literally cut in half, the left half staying with the owner at half value and the right half loaned to the state. In addition to the loan itself the goals of this operation were to curb inflation and reveal dirty money. Apart from the injection to the state coffers, it was largely unsuccessful and most noticeably simply cut your purchasing power in half. The loan was paid back in 1949 with two percent interest.
