Welp, that's pretty definitive, but somehow I always thought he was a Jack Russell Terrier or JRT mix. They do seem to think they run the world or ought to, and they are fabulous at all kinds of chaos.

He's actually a Christmas Terrier, you can tell because of the distinctive holly-shaped nose markings and the ears that float in midair two inches behind his head.

"Deserving Porcupine"?


The series is basically about Harold drawing problems, then drawing the solutions to those problems. He drew some pies, but wasn't able to "finish" them, so he drew a hungry moose and a deserving porcupine (both described as such in the book) to finish the food for him.

Gil Thorp is a comic about a high school sports coach (I think). I believe Julet Esqu used to post it, but stopped because of the terrible ratio of interesting strips to dull filler.


Ginger Meggs is an Australian strip that rarely attempts continuity. It does, however, frequently lead people to inquire why it smells like farts.

It could, but maybe not so much anymore since JJJ had the thing gutted so he could climb inside it.




Recently we went back and revisited the wonderful Big Time arc from The Amazing Spider-Man, and you know what? If we have archive access, there's no reason not to post some old favorites from the past sometimes. Like this one from 2010/2011:











Ok, it starts slow, but I promise you it picks up and becomes awesome. Any of you who might recognize this from what I've posted so far will know I'm right. ;)

Also, going through the Comics Kingdom archives looking for these strips just reminded me of how truly amazing The Amazing Spider-Man really is. So many crazy storylines.

They are good, though I did like the Cullen Murphy run. The father took over the art from Hal Foster and the son, who wrote the scripts, has a degree in medieval history from Amhurst.

Cab drivers communicate to each other by radio. So he can obviously hear. Alternately Slylock fires his gun right next to the drivers head, and the driver recoils from the sound indicating he's lying.

After some basic testing I have determined that the reason some of these comics have bad picture quality is because whoever originally uploaded them was drunk. They do clear up eventually- I could skip over the worse days or just change to a new comic altogether. All the same to me really.

Despite the bad quality, I'm really enjoying old Doonesbury. I don't want to advocate you drop any of them, since I read most of them at points, but I would like to keep seeing Doonesbury.

To elaborate--Sherman tanks had three inches of armor plating, or 76.2 millimeters, at the most. That's not a lot--the German Panzer IV, which predated the war by three years, had 88 mm, and most of the German antitank weaponry could penetrate much thicker armor. They were also undergunned for much of the war, being armed with a 75 mm gun that couldn't penetrate the front armor of most German late-war tanks such as the Panther and the Tiger.

The Sherman had some advantages, though. It was--as mentioned--cheap to make and fast to build, so the Americans could field about five Shermans to every one German tank. Only around 9000 Panzer IVs were ever made--over forty-nine thousand Shermans were. Additionally, the Sherman was fast for its size, so it could get around the enemy's flanks with relative ease and strike at the side and rear armor of its heavier opponents provided it didn't get knocked the gently caress out first.

In the Pacific Theater, it's not even a question--the Sherman outgunned nearly everything that the Japanese could throw at it. So overall, it was absolutely underdesigned for the role it had to fill, but numbers and speed (and field-modification upgunning) allowed the Sherman to rule the day. "Zerg Rush" is definitely apt.
