Good lord I'm late with these Fingerpori, 30 April  - Tomorrow's a flag day - Ye-- Yes - All the flags in this city must be in poles by eight in the morning! - I'll make it so! In Salo: - Somebody has sent us hundreds of flags I suppose in English you'd say "a flag is raised" rather than "a flag is in a pole", but you get the idea. "A pole" is salko, "in a pole" is salossa. Salo is a Finnish town and municipality, and in Salo is Salossa. 1 May  3 May  I guess those two work in English. More or less. Meanwhile in Fok_It, 30 April  1 May  2 May  I was busy, I blame May Day and Dark Souls 2

Poil posted:You could show a view of a mess hall with a group of Poles eating the flags. Probably complaining about Finnish cuisine or something too. I don't know. I think he was referencing to the Mussolini-lead turbo-fascistic Salo Republic, and/or the movie which goes by the name Salò. (NMS, Do not Google with Image Search.)

I've been gone for awhile, but want to start posting again - I love old comics. Is this the origin of Mary Worth? wikipedia posted:Most reference sources[1] state it was a continuation of the Depression-era strip Apple Mary, created by Martha Orr in 1932, centering on an old woman who sold apples on the street and offered humble common sense. King Features denies that Mary Worth was a continuation of the earlier strip, ignoring published comics from the late thirties and forties titled "Apple Mary: Mary Worth's Family" (before the subtitle completely replaced "Apple Mary") [2] and disregarding Saunders' own detailed account in his interviews (1971) and autobiography (1983-86) of how he was given Apple Mary in 1939 and developed it into Mary Worth with stories he thought women would enjoy more. However, King Features owns Mary Worth, and may have to give compensation to the creators/owners of Apple Mary should it be proven that Mary Worth is derived from it. So, Apple Mary:Prometheus::Mary Worth:Alien Apple Mary - 12/1/34  12/3/24  12/4/34  Also, old Fritzi Ritz 6/4/27  6/6/28  9/1/28  I think there is interest in these. No? Banana Oil!

Cricken_Nigfops posted:Candorville and Broom Hilda It almost feels lamer and lazier than Gilchrist's Boys Town bit because this is a cable service review, not a comic strip, it's not even like he's using the real life experience to crack a joke, the strip is just suddenly there for his awkward venting. Drabble is like a cool refreshing break after Candorville, yikes. There are plenty of bad strips but this has to be the most whiny bad strip (which makes it the worst to me). So he's basically Nina Paley but never ever funny. Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 19:10 on May 4, 2014 |

/\/\/\/\/\/\ True enough. I'm just glum about it because I grew up around folks who really celebrated it, and it wasn't just "Beer Day." Er, content: Noodles April 16, 2006  A freeter is someone who is unemployed or underemployed. At the time she drew this, I think it still had the connotation of someone who chose not to be a salaryman, as opposed to someone who was trying but couldn't find employment. ETA: Wikipedia tells me it can also mean someone who is self-employed/does freelance work. Noodles April 23, 2006  My son's backpack was like that. Noodles April 30, 2006  YYAADA!!
