It's often claimed that people in Japan - among many other places - feared early photography because it would steal their souls. I don't know how common that belief-about-belief would have been in 1930s America, though, so it might not be the explanation.

That's honestly kind of an interesting intersection with the more recent stereotype of "Japanese tourist with a camera taking pictures of Everything" which, like OP, was my first assumption

So did any of these people ever show an interest in working on cars before?

Yes, actually, waaaaay back in the early strips of their romance arc (which I vaguely recall reading in real time) they bonded over a love of cars. Incidentally the wikipedia entry for Luann is...detailed

Mostly a lurker popping in to say that I hate Mother Goose and Grimm for reasons I don't fully understand. It is far from the most objectionable or terrible comic here but I hate it. The art catches my eyes and I accidentally read it for the most tired and crummy jokes.

I had a couple of the collections growing up and I know I watched the short lived TV show. I don't know why it bothers me so much now.

It's far from the worst but what gets me every time is that grotesque simpering expression on Grimm, as seen in today's strip. That face fills me with deep hatred every time it appears because I find it so visually offensive

I know I watched the Baby Blues show on Adult Swim but the only clear memory I have is an episode where Wanda creates an awesome daycare space designed around giving moms a safe place to nap during the day. That and the kickass song they used for the opening

Let it not go unsaid that this loving sucks

This and the Scooby Doo from yesterday that was clearly modeled off one of the first hits in Google. Couldn't even be bothered to pose it properly for the scene.

I liked warm milk but it did gently caress-all to make me sleepy.
