Where is Everett True located? Because while the Spanish flu became a pandemic in Feb 1918, it first appeared in December 1917. This also means as Slammy continues posting, we'll see those strips again soon-ish.

rotoscoped posted:I really love seeing everyone grow, age & change in Mämmilä (rip jalmari). But man, poor Tiina is, what, 20 now and looks older than Anja. I don't know if it's intentional or Koivisto simply sticking to their design while his style evolves, but Tiina's little brother Rauno will suffer from the same problem. "Sun kortsus on pantu puhki!" It means that a hole has been poked into the condoms, but while panna (pantu being the past tense) means "to put/make", it is also a slang term for "to gently caress". So it could also be understood that the condoms have been hosed with so much that they have worn out. amigolupus posted:"Sometimes I feel like you wanted us to keep the baby just to tie me down" is a hell of a thing to let slip in the middle of a conversation. Anja Koskinen tends to be a straight talker like that. Pekka's little brother Atte was around but didn't do anything, that was Rami the gas station attendant. The panels following the ones in the flashback heavily suggest that Heimo both heard and understood what Rauno was yelling.

TGIDTWOF Dykes to Watch Out For #121 (1991)   Thea is a pretty good character who remains kind of on the margins of the plot. I guess it makes sense and in a way I really appreciate it-- the core cast is and remains this tight circle of friends and room-mates and romantic partners and later long-term additions tend to either be new partners or relatives or kids. Thea's a co-worker, and you know, usually even if you really like and get along with a coworker they will be out of your life when one of you moves on to a different job. It always really bugs me on workplace sitcoms like The Office or Superstore or whatever when two characters get married and 80% of the guests at the wedding are just people they work with. I think Bechdel keeps Thea at a realistic distance. Anyway that's that! This is a somewhat unusual Madwimmin-centric strip in that there are no book cover puns or anything like that. Edit: Oh, here's a question. Starting with this volume the Firebrand Books editions round out each book with a bonus, extra-long story. Most of these are in-continuity and either flesh out background stuff like Mo's college years or how everybody met, or serve as expanded versions of stuff that happened in the main story. I'll definitely post those. This volume's, however, is a little different-- it's a little autobiographical meditation by Bechdel. Would people be interested in reading this or should I skip ahead onto the next book when I get to that point? How Wonderful! fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Nov 24, 2020 |

In this installment of The Timid Soul, drat that's a fine wheelchair. In 1933, Francis Townsend's plan was that all American citizens who were retired and over the age of 60 be given $200/month (about $4000/month in 2020 dollars), on the condition that they spend it all within 30 days, so as to stimulate the economy. (They also had to be 'free of habitual criminality', which presumably would have been defined in such a way that entirely by coincidence certain ethnic groups would be unable to benefit.)

Ghostlight posted:Burton Silver first conceived of Bogor, the titular and slightly eccentric woodsman, after being alone on a family plot of land in the middle of the bush for half a year. According to legend Silver then shopped around a batch of 35 strips to editors until being commissioned for a weekly strip by the New Zealand Listener after the editor reviewed only the first 30 strips, with the 31st introducing Bogor's marijuana plantation. On discovery of this, the furious editor forced Silver into a compromise wherein only the hedgehogs would be allowed to grow and smoke pot. maltesh posted:Well, they're consenting Playing Cards, it's their business. but i guess that's also in fashion for royals.
