Curtis has had an unrequited thing for Michelle for the entire time I guess, she finds him annoying and is usually trying to brush him off with varying degrees of politeness and he just won't take the hint

My reading is that she doesn't necessarily want to get rid of Curtis permanently, because she enjoys attention and likes to play power games with him. After all, she's a shallow (pre-)teenager comic strip character written by an old man.

She seems pretty friendly now that she is horribly obese.

When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.


Not soon.



NOW

...

...or rather, I would say so, if it wasn't for the fact that I really feel the need to add a pre-amble. This last adventure of Corto is very, very dream-like. Positively incomprehensible in parts. And... it really saddens me to say this, but the art is... it's bad. It's not good. So, while it is the last adventure of Corto, it does make me sad to recognise that it is quite lacking in comparison to Pratt's earlier work.

...but, unless people are totally against it, I'll start loading it up by this weekend. That sound good?

How To Read 9 Chickweed Lane



14. Sister Steven.

A. Subtext.

Sister Steven. The Mother Superior who runs the Catholic school that shaped the formative years of Edda and Amos, and probably a few others. An authoritarian whose reputation earned her the nickname "Sister Caligula". A figure who looms so large in her pupils' pasts that she continues to play a part in their present. A Rock of Gibraltar who scares the hell out of God Himself.

B. Text.

A woman who is just as bored with today's strip as I am. And has a resting face unnervingly like Nathan Lane's.

Moral: Fake analysis isn't nearly as fun when there's nothing to react to.

Unless I'm misreading it as an American, but this seems a very posh accent to mimic. If it is, I wonder if it was meant to paint the women's suffrage movement as the dalliances of the upper class and not something regular women care about.

Not that it would be surprising if this was the case: this is a tactic used in political cartoons to this day (timg'd for Mallard Fillmore).

That would make sense. Christabel Pankhurst was definitely not sympathetic to the working class and in many ways she set the tone for the popular conception of British suffragists (even though Harding was an American cartoonist this comic generally tends to code its protagonists as British, as we've seen-- a kind of 'do you want our women to go as berserk as their women???" cautionary gesture responding to the more visibly radicle tenor of the womens' movement across the Atlantic).

This almost sounds like they're setting up an adventure where one of them will be in disguise as the other, but I think having them wear skin-tone makeup wouldn't play very well right now.

I AM NOT BEING PAID TO CORRECT OTHER PEOPLE'S POSTS! DONKEY!!

In this installment of The Timid Soul, I have no idea how Caspar could have gotten himself into this situation.

I'm fairly sure that the word "sissy" always had homophobic and misogynistic connotations, but I doubt Webster took that into consideration, just like the use of "gyp" to mean "cheat", without any consideration of it being anti-Romany.
