e: Also the Boston Massacre, in which some rear end in a top hat (probably on the American side, trying to provoke an incident) very likely shot Crispus Attucks from the Customs House above. Read about his autopsy--the trajectory of the bullet shows that it's extremely unlikely to have come from the British soldiers on the ground, who only fired into the crowd throwing poo poo at them and taunting them to shoot after that shot was fired. But for some reason most of us don't learn that in history class (I did, actually--my 8th grade history teacher had us look at the primary sources, it was awesome). I'm sure if the people in the crowd had guns the crisis could have been averted!!!

Yeah, if only people would learn the finer details of an eighteenth century autopsy they'd clearly understand that it was imperative that the poor plucky British soldiers start firing into a crowd. If only those dastardly Americans hadn't used their guns to provoke an incident by killing Crispus Attucks shortly after a British soldier had already discharged his rifle. If only people knew these facts they'd clearly agree with a politically convenient conspiracy theory advanced by the Whigs and your current position on gun control! And if only this had been adequately investigated at the time!


Oh wait it was- four Customs House employees were arrested, acquitted, and their main accuser was convicted of perjury. Maybe your teacher didn't do such a bang-up job teaching you how to use primary sources after all?

Actually, I believe you'll find the shot was fired by Charles Lee, acting to advance the sinister Templar agenda in the colonies. Please consult the right primary sources, morans.

Did Sorensen ever explain the origin of her "pundit" character when the rest of the people are drawn in a completely different art style?

The character is Mr. Perkins, and he has a different job whenever he shows up. She used Perkins as a stand-in for George W. Bush during his administration.

Sorensen used to have recurring characters on her strip. I remember Drooly Julie, for example. She was a pervert who lusted after men. Sorensen said she was meant to be a female expy of male horndogs in cartoons, specifically citing that Wolf in those Tex Avery cartoons.

She decided to drop her characters a few years back, although she kept Mr. Perkins.

I cashiered as a teenager and I think I'm pretty good at math. It's one thing to do a single calculation that adding two pennies will give a nickel as a customer, it's another to anticipate and perform the exact same calculation while balancing all the other responsibilities as a cashier.

If you try to do some sort of weird change thing, the cashier is probably going to just tense up in anticipation of a quick-change scam.

I meant to criticize Tinsley for those reasons, not dump on cashiers. When I head to work basic arithmetic goes right out the window as I deal with county authorities, overdue permits, and other stuff. If I buy stuff with cash I try to give out as many singles and pennies since I know that most people toss a $20 bill that drains the cashier's small change, and changing out a drawer is a lengthy, obnoxious process.

Please, by all means, explain how the bullet went downwards diagonally through his body, inconsistent with him crouching or laying on the ground, if it didn't come from above. The soldiers firing at the crowd were directly in front of them. You're right, I misremembered that a British soldier shot first, and then the others followed. However, you didn't mention that the British soldier discharging his rifle was first assaulted by someone in the crowd, didn't actually hit anyone and was then immediately reprimanded by his captain (who some guy immediately hit with a cudgel, by the way), and the shots that hit people in the crowd were fired after he told them not to fire. You also didn't mention the fact that all but 2 of the British soldiers were acquitted on the grounds of self-defense. Or the fact that the reason the four civilians got off was that the prosecution relied on a single witness, who was dismissed literally so fast that the jurors didn't even leave their seats to deliberate. There just wasn't enough proof that the people who were specifically accused were responsible, and they didn't even present anything from the autopsy; this meant there was no follow-up investigation (even though about 6 witness accounts mentioned seeing gunfire coming from above street level), so no, it wasn't adequate or thorough.

Also it is literally only called a massacre when only 4 people died because of radicalist propaganda (even John Adams thought it was a regrettable accident), I'm not sure why you are so convinced that this is a nutty conspiracy and not something that is conveniently glossed over in the vast majority of history lessons (including the part where people were doing their best to provoke the soldiers). The soldiers who fired into the crowd are not blameless at all, and what they did is obviously disproportionate to what was happening, but they weren't big evil bad guys who were gunning down poor harmless freedom-lovers, they were scared men who acted irrationally, just like the people who were throwing poo poo at them. This has very little to do with gun control in the first place, it was a tangential point, and my assertion that the shooter in the Customs House was probably American is just silly speculation.

But anyway, this is a dumb derail.
