What's the story with the postwoman's uniform? I tried to find pictures of Finnish postal workers from the 50s - 70s, but they were all wearing regular uniform-y clothes.

I thiiiiink Destroy History takes place in between Scary-Go-Round ending and Bad Machinery starting, but I'm sure a scholar more learned in Tackleverse lore will correct me.

Destroy History pretty much takes place right after Scary-Go-Round (seen in this strip where Shelley gets hired before she even sends out her resume). Allison did that first strip in 2009, and did the rest of the first story in 2015. It was included in the collection Giant Days: Extra Credit.

Where things get interesting is when / how Shelley left the Ministry of History. In 2012's one-shot comic Murder She Writes (which you should pick up on Comixology if you want to read a good Lottie Grote story, and why wouldn't you?), Shelley says the department she worked for was cut two weeks later and Shelley became a writer. However in Giant Days Esther and her friends visit Shelley in London where she is still working for the Ministry.

The Doylist explanation is that Allison changed his mind about Shelley's time at the Ministry. Of course, since the Ministry has access to both time travel and mind altering technology, the Watsonian explanation is that they sent Shelley back in time with her memories of the events there wiped (of course that would mean there were two Shelley Winters in existence at once, a scary prospect)

Little Nemo In Slumberland - Winsor McKay

October 15, 1905. These are full-format reprints of comics that ran in the Sunday New York Herald. Will try to set-up a rostrum with a Nikon if they're popular. They're thumbnailed due to the size - it's hard to make them smaller as there is a ton of detail and the artwork is incredible.

I only have excellent ideas

1) I misunderstood the last panel and thought that the redhead got extremely jacked between March and April
2) I feel like I would be more offended if I invited a friend to live with me and then I found out that they were masturbating in my chairs.

The Mandela Effect is when lots of people have false memories of something that didn't happen -- for instance, many people think they remember Nelson Mandela died in prison, even though of course he didn't (possibly they mentally conflate him with Steven Biko).

One frequent example of the Mandela Effect is the Berenstain Bears books: many people think they remember the authors' name as Berenstein, even though it was not and never has been.

Look at the title of the strip, and the signature in the last panel. I think the gag is supposed to be that these are Brother and Sister from a parallel universe where they really were the Berenstein Bears, and activating the particle accelerator shifted them into our universe.

What's on your mind, Axa?

:lol: Well, better Ulysses than Joyce's letters I suppose.

I've never read Ulysses. I feel like I should at some point, but honestly my preferences run to weird pulp and other "trash" rather than anything classy and artistic. Part of me feels bad about that, but then again, life is short.

Hopefully this time around I can stick with Little Nemo, it's always absolutely gorgeous but, like the first time around with Corto Maltese and Modesty Blaise, I tended to skip over it when it was posted before.

What is she wearing?

She delivers the town mail with a moped and the thing she is wearing is 1970's era protective motorcycle gear. She is very rarely seen without it. The gear will evolve over the years to come. I can't seem to find a picture of a real life example of the original suit.

You see that sort of quilted leather padding on the shoulders of some leathers now. Not the whole body though.

Probably both? He'll dip his food, but there'll be way more mustard on the plate than he needs because he's writing his name with it.

No kid willingly eats that much mustard aka kid poison. He's definitely being a little wasteful poo poo.
