I caught up a lot and forgot to bookmark the ending to The Great Unboxing but: - Thank you for sharing it! It'd been a while since I read it and the whole being removed from every where thing was a bummer - I think it was still pretty good right up until the rushed ending. The tweens are great, the old guard had fun moments. The Linton dropping out so quickly thing was a little lame though - The joke of all the excitement with the unboxing happening off screen worked for me idk. Even if this was a more standard storyline I could see the same joke happening; though maybe if he ever remade it we'd see the part where they make out and everyone makes "oooooooooooo" reactions -The actualy ending was fine but the speed with which we went from the unbox to the end did feel like it needed one more victory lap since it was meant as the end. It would have been nice to have one final send off for the tweens especially

I refuse to believe this. Jucika's hard nipples tell me that this is just a Hungarian mating ritual where the female makes a display of her ample eggs and then a male shows his virility by wetting the female and her eggs. Afterward they climb up to a birch tree and copulate for six hours after which the female stays in the tree and the male brings her bell peppers to eat until the end of pregnancy.

I have to admit, Nemi can very often be like a ...toothless Zelda. And that's tragic. Anyway, on the topic of tragedies, an unfortunately shortened Corto Maltese: Corto enjoys a nightcap after an exuberant evening of multi-murder, or More like Judas Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, or Forget it Corto, it's ![]() ![]() And so ends what I would consider to be the most cynical and sad adventure of Corto Maltese. But his stories have not concluded just yet! Join us next time, won't you? For possibly the most surreal adventures our hero experiences in The Secret Rose

Dykes to Watch Out For #49 (1989) This is a bit weird. You may notice that this strip is unnumbered-- well, that's a product of the Essential, which generally does not do this. In New, Improved! Dykes to Watch Out For, the Firebrand collection that includes this strip, "49" is in a bubble near the title panel as always. At this point I've filled out a lot of the gaps in my collection and am basically just waiting on the material from 1996-1999 and then the last little bit of post-2001 stuff that's not entirely collected in the Essential. I work in academia so I'm spoiled and (used to be!) accustomed to having really nice scanners at my beck and call on campus, so I need to take the beginning of summer break to get reacquainted with my crummy little home scanner and finish filling in some of the publishing gaps. The gap between #46 and here is particularly strange-- it covers Mo coming out to her parents, and while Mo's family is never a super prominent part of the strip, I think this sequence was really rich and some of her later interactions with her mom and dad feel somewhat strange without the context. Even more peculiar, we'll meet her brother later, a character who is to my recollection almost entirely excised from the Essential. Anyway: ![]() The Coming Out Stories have already been mentioned. Surpassing the Love of Men was a 1981 survey by Lillian Faderman covering homosexual and homosocial intimacy between women from the Renaissance through to the 80s-- a broad remit but one that was still largely a blank slate, sadly, at the time. I have to admit I've never read it. As for Lesbian Sex, well, there are times in everyone's life where google just can't help you in the way you want it to. St. Jerome was a 5th century saint known for his extensive record of scholarly and sacral writings, and is probably best known for producing the Vulgate translation of the Bible into Latin, a version which remained one of the, if not the standard Catholic editions for centuries. This is probably overthinking a dumb joke but there might be a little extra crunch there about this conversation being wrapped up in scholarship and bookstore chat-- a guy whose influence on Jezanna is intellectual versus Lois' somatic physical lust for his wife. Who knows-- much later Bechdel will bust out some pretty sick jokes about the Shakers.

Surgeon's Tales![]() ![]() At this point the comic changes the pace dramatically. So far it has followed the book very closely, maybe dropping a few scenes and some long descriptive paragraphs. But here the comic cuts off the end of this chapter and the next two chapters entirely. A bit later there will be even more big cuts. To give you some perspective: This year I've posted 244 strips and the novel used 186 pages to describe those events. Meanwhile the rest of this second book, 128 pages, will be told within about 60 comic strips. Some of the cuts are justifiable. There's lots of recapping and history book style description of the events. However the pacing becomes really fast and some important character events, like Bertelsköld's conversation with his wife and the first confrontation with the house-master are left out. I will give a some short of summary of those. On a positive side, this means that the comic will probably finish the whole story. We are about to reach the halfway of the comic, while only handled 1/3 of the book, so I was a bit worried that it might end abruptly, but with this new pace that's probably not the case.
