To celebrate our impending transition to better ownership, here is a bumper patch of Fingerporis.




In Finnish the word for an "arch" something and a sheet of paper are the same.


These kinds of signs are very common in stores. Stores want to sell you a 24 pack of beer or soda, and don't want people breaking open the boxes to just get a couple.




The Finnish words for "kantele" (the instrument) and complain/tell on/tattle on are the same.

In today's Corto Maltese: O'Mahoney - 'Yar-har-fiddle-dee-dee, being a pirate is alright by me!', or O'Mahoney does not believe in the saying that one wields power as long as one does not exercise it, or Slavin takes news of the ship's destination poorly

What really dates this is that it was published a few months *before* 9/11. OBL was a known terrorist, but not a major figure at the time. It's an amazing coincidence that McGruder picked *him* for the punchline.

Cheer Up Boss Dharma





In the original Korean this kind of place is literally called something like the job seeking center even though it's commonly understood to be a government assistance center for many other things, like say stipends or credits for childrearing in a country with a very low birthrate. The joke here is that Mr. Kang (whose name I know because he was a regular in the Chief Dharma days) has never heard of such institutions before so of course the literal interpretation is all he has to go on.

Well, Al Qaida had attacked WTC in 1993 and US embassies in eastern Africa in 1998 and then USS Cole in 2000. There was also a plot to murder Bill Clinton while he was at a summit in Manila in 1996, but this was revealed by intelligence agencies. And AQ was personified in OBL, so I would call him a rather major figure already.

But imagine if these strips had coincided to run like a week before 9/11... :tinfoil:

It's been established that Tinkersons guy is from PA, right? This is an extremely Pennsylvania/Philly strip.

I am.... cautious about the SA transfer. I know nothing about Jeffrey, I fully expect Lowtax to reneg/stiff on this before things go through, and I've got a feeling there will be some bullshit clause where Rich still gets money off the site somehow. I guy that just lost his easy $10K a month isn't just going to hand over his only valuable asset super-chill.

I think Billingsley's incompetence is more fascinating than Boyce. Billingsley's world is amazing: We have modern tech but use circa-1999 "netspeak on it", we make nothing but 70's B-movies and the kids all listen to modern hip-hop, which is actually early '90s hip-hop.

Holy poo poo. All I can say is, drat that’s a fine elephant.

As a rare poster, I also absolutely cannot stress how much comfort and delight this thread has given me over the years. I started reading it a year or two before the Dance Party era, and I swear that is still the hardest I’ve ever laughed in my life. These forums and this thread in particular have influenced me for around half my life now, and I couldn’t be more grateful. An enormous debt is owed to everyone who’s posted historical comics - I’m confident that this is one of the largest and most complete archives of the art form. I love you all so, so much.
I was getting genuinely scared that I and we might lose this, and it was genuinely emotional for me. I’m pretty confident that Jeff will do a generally good job and not abuse anyone IRL. And the ‘tax is a provably bad businessman, so I’ll call it right now that all he’ll be able to negotiate for is the front page.

The last panel of the second one is the best comic timing I've seen in Zelda, it's astounding. That's a really good gag.

I hope we get some transparency over this. It'd suck if we go back to business as usual and find out in a few months that nothing really changed other than who claims to own the place.
