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


In today's Corto Maltese: 'Is Soong a relative of the Soong family' may be the most tautological thing I have read today, or Soong talks of a Buddhist explorer of antiquity who described a mysterious land to the East where one could find a tree of life. For a long time, it was theorised that this could have been a description of a pre-Columbus America. However, this was pretty much debunked by WW1 (the people were described as going by horseback, which is a pretty gigantic no-no). However, the idea that there have been people travelling from Asia to America before Columbus but after the Beringia expansion is possible - one major piece of evidence is the fact that native chickens in South America seem to be descended from South Asian populations via Polynesia, or Thankfully, Samus Eberhard and Tristan manage to escape Zebes Mu just in the nick of time

In this installment of The Timid Soul, I have no idea what Caspar is doing.

It's obvious that he's putting an American flag on his hat to ward off aerial bombers, yes, but this strip was published in 1939. Were aerial bombers an issue for Americans at that point? And even if we assume that Caspar was politically aware enough to be worried about the Axis, why would he use an American flag to ward them off? Wouldn't that be likely to make him more of a target?

Unless I'm missing something.

If this was after the war had started I presume he's trying to make his status as a neutral clear to the Luftwaffe. The joke, naturally, is that he is doing this thousands of miles and an ocean away from Poland.

Okay, if this doesn't turn out to be a dream sequence, I'm going to put my head through the wall.

Place your bets now!
- It's a dream
- It's pizzagate
- The Clinton impersonator who ate at Montoni's 30 years ago went senile and now thinks he actually is Bill Clinton, he's talking to Moviefone in the above strip
- Clinton fixes everything, so there's no need to worry about ICE and the immigration system it's fine really, see?

I think you also mentioned that Joan the mare appeared a grand total of two times throughout the entire comic, which goes to show what Holbrook thinks about representation.

As for Safe Havens, isn't the time traveler planning to leave very soon in order to drop off Kid Leonardo da Vinci in his own time period? My guess is that she's going to take Bambi along with her so Holbrook can conveniently write off a gay couple again.


This is a really cool way of showing how a person's mind twists and turns with their worries. I really hope things work well for these two.

Presumably the USSR used Modesty and Willie as a safely-deniable paper-shredder for incompetent morons without their ever knowing, and these guys were just dumb enough to never have been let in on the joke.

Looking at the earlier strips, it seems like Fraser never admitted his feelings to Mary so they were never a thing to begin with.

Joan was mentioned once in March 2005, when Lindesfarne asked Rachel who she was going to prom with, which prompted the comment from Danielle I mentioned earlier.

Joan was then shown once, standing beside Rachel, in May 2005, at prom.

The next time she's even mentioned is nine years later (February 2014) in a "Hey, Rachel and Joan are getting married!" way, which prompted a marriage story-arc (which was mostly about Lindesfarne and her troubles) that ended in June 2014. Since then she's been seen or mentioned in exactly ten strips, where her role has been "Rachel's wife."

So yeah, not much.

I'm not one to give too much credit to Dustin, but I think the "joke" is as simple as "There's dongs flopping around all over the place anyway, so who gives a gently caress that you pulled your dick out?" It's a stupid argument for a few reasons and a lawyer would know why patrons of a strip club (gay or straight) would be expected to keep their junk in their pants, but it's not inherently anti-gay.




You were a military dude for however long. There are reasons somebody might join the military, even if they are hippie free-spirits, so I'm not questioning the why. I just think that over time that regimented lifestyle would get you used to the concept of people having rigid 9-5 routines.

Ben bringing up that Bernice hasn't made any effort to see him or his kids makes this past strip look worse in retrospect:


It makes it seem like Bernice actually doesn't care what's happening in her brother's life and only brought it up to make herself look even more sympathetic.

And the old complexion trying to make a teen style work. Paints a pretty clear picture of the woman, I'm curious if the strip will go for subversion or make her as empty as she appears.
