I think I figured out what doesn't sit right with me about this. The art is amazingly static. Even with the motion lines it doesn't look like Colin Mochrie's head actually moved. That's also part of what bugged me about the "I'm the hottest zombie ever!" page. It's just amazingly static art.

Seriously, was his goal with this storyline to make people sympathize with the Nazis by having his non-Nazi character be so insufferable?

In addition, that page doesn't actually have "sporange", it's a redirection from "sporangium", a word I actually used with some frequency when I took seed plant taxonomy, but never since. I doubt "sporange" is even a word. A better rhyme IMO is door-hinge.

"Aunt" has got to be the wrong word here. That guy can't possibly be chief Dharma's grandchild.

This is really late, but what I think the translation is going for is that the young woman is technically the male relative's aunt, making her the "older" person, and as such, the one that the "younger" relative would ask money from.

It would be really kind of odd but for example if your mother had a kid (Billy) at an early age, Billy has a child (Timmy) at a young age, and then you mother gave birth to you some time after that. Then technically, you are Timmy's aunt/uncle (Timmy, being your brother's kid, is your nephew), even though Timmy is older than you.

It's a strange set of circumstances, and given the apparent age difference of the characters pretty crazy, but certainly possible.

I'm having a hard enough time explaining it in English, I can't imagine starting in Korean and moving on from there.

This is basically the Worst Thing, and the runner-up is the earnest, cheery way it's always said. Because each and every time you hear this, it's from someone who imagines they're being sincerely original and funny. And there's always a microscopic hint of honesty behind the joking, because the tiny barely-there hope is that one day when you say this the cashier'll agree with you and you will get a free Stuff because you were just that good-natured and humorous.

Thorn / 50% More Absorbent Comix Crossover Extravaganza (February 27-28, 1984)
Okay, this is a start of a crossover. In The Lantern, right under Thorn was another strip called "50% More Absorbent Comix" by Steve Spencer, who himself is a professional cartoonist. One day, they decided to do a crossover. Basically, Jeff Smith would tell one half of the story in "Thorn", then Spencer would tell the second half in "Absorbent Comix" right under. You had to read both strips to understand what was going on.

It's...well, crossovers were never great, and this is no exception. This went on for TWO WEEKS when it was being printed, and Bone, Thorn, etc. never appeared during those times. And after it was over, it was Spring break at the college, so there was another one week gap before Jeff Smith finally got around continuing the story.
