Those were some fiiiiinely detailed wimmens in those first few strips, and she does have some shapely calves. Over/under on overtly fetishy strip? I'm gonna say 3 strips. I dunno if there's anything wrong about it, per se, I just enjoy pointing it out.

I actually kind of adore the idea that the ruler of future Earth's timeways dragged Mandrake through all this nonsense just because she wants to learn how to saw a lady in half. It's so folksy!

We had key locks. They were pretty easy to jimmy open though, and the doors were thin enough metal that half of them had been bent in half by bored people, or buckled by people taking out their frustration. They weren't really useful for anything other than storing things nobody would want, like dirty PE wear and textbooks.

Gene Siskel's far enough in the past that he may need an introduction, too. I think it's been fifteen years since he died. Bleeker just loathes everything, human, robot, or dog.  Pickles is rapidly becoming a record of the world's longest failed marriage.

Fingerpori - Hi, Heimo! I'm hiking in the forest... - A crane is rising up from the swamp right now - If you can't get it out, go see a doctor Nousta means "to move/rise up" in some manner; it just refers to upwards movement of any kind. "A crane is flying up" could've worked here. Suo means "a swamp" and suolta is its ablative form, "from the swamp". Suoli, however, means "an intestine" and its partitive (object) form also happens to be suolta. So yeah, "a crane is moving up my intestine right now". For a moment I thought maybe kurki could mean something other than crane, but nope. Fok_It  Somehow this strip makes perfect sense. Oh, except maybe the promise part. I don't think people talk about promises in English when they're referring to weather forecasts, but the "promises will be broken" thing wouldn't have worked otherwise.

Ghostlight posted:Quick! Someone get this information back to the 19th century inhabitants of Chicago who didn't have access to modern weather data so that they don't end up with an erroneous nickname! Chicago was originally nicknamed the Windy City because of all the bragging loudmouths there (people who talk a lot are said to make hot air [which creates wind when it touches cold air, more or less. (I could explain it to you but it'd be a much longer post)]). I consider the nickname completely appropriate given the proud, boisterous people who make Chicago their home even today.

Skippy (June 16, 1927) Peanuts (September 8, 1967)  Funky Winkerbean  Was Congorilla really awesome enough to make an issue a holy grail? Popeye  Rip Haywire  Out Our Way (August 10-11, 1925)   "Fun" Fact: James J. Jeffries got knocked out in 1910. It was the only one of his career, and since it was at the hands of Jack Johnson (first black World Heavyweight Champion, and thus the most hated man in American sports at the time), everything surrounding it was nasty. That was the match where Jack London tagged Jeffries "the great white hope", but Jeffries hadn't been in the ring since '04, so he was done before the bell rang. Angry random reprisals ensued across the country.

Meanwhile, Ham Shears makes a Bob Dylan reference.  The Dinette Set knows the value of a good education.  Working Daze overall is about 1/3 Big Bang Theory humor.  (Based on my trawl of the last year and change, the other two thirds are "work sucks" and "people getting turned into things" so I guess it's a bit of a fetish comic after all.)
