To add another layer of diarrhea to that abyssmal arc... Wasn't the "villain" of the story a British intelligence officer who was trying to get intel out of Herr Lieutenant and this was... bad... because he was doing it in a "dishonorable" way or some stupid poo poo???
It was worse than that, I think. As I remember it, the claim was that the Allies could only win because they were willing to use "dishonourable" tactics that the Nazis would never stoop too.

This, as far as I can tell, is the first oblique mention of the Wild, which will become quite relevant later on. It's basically a place where animals people who reject (or are rejected by) modern society can live, they shed all their clothes and fancy stuff and live life the "old way" (i.e.: how animals live in our world).

For those wondering how long it took us to get our first grotesque villain, the strip debuted on October 4, 1931, and our first look at Battle Damage Steve was on June 17, 1934.

I checked Facebook and while the official Computer-Toon page has not been updated since 2016 (and the non-fb blog has not been updated since 2017), he has taken to posting his daily cartoons on his own page, with introductions consisting of a single word from the panel text followed by an ellipsis.

I hope the young couple in Mämmilä gets to catch a break! :( I was kinda expecting there to be storylines about their marriage due to the initial unplanned pregnancy detail and such, but it's been nice to get the implication that all things considered they've been doing ok (before Isopaljo's trickery, that is.)

(Warning: racism)

Uh... I'm pretty sure the artist was going for a sarcastic angle, but I don't think the result really works in the comic's favour on many levels. Especially since this strip comes out of nowhere in-between a storyline. I wonder if there was some topical event that caused this to be drawn?

Huh! Neat. I wonder if they realised what they did. I had this thought when reading the first appearance of Lex Luthor, but it's interesting to think that at the time they had no idea they'd created one of the most enduring villains in pop culture.

I remember Heathcliff having a cartoon back in the 80s-90s. I don't remember much about it, but it was NOTHING like the weird surrealist stuff I've seen for the past however many years I've been reading the comics threads. Was Heathcliff always like this and if not, what the hell happened to him?

Also despite being a cross-over thing, Dethany does fit pretty well in the Tracy universe.

I had a Heathcliff book back in the 80s and while it usually wasn't weird like this, there was a long form comic in it where the mice declared war on Heathcliff and were bombing him with pickles until anti-cuke protestors stopped it. So there has been a surreal aspect all along in one way or another.
