Likewise harder for planes to navigate based on traffic. Ironically a measure like this is likely to have been far more lethal than what it was meant to counter, given that the Japanese only managed to start up some bush fires in Oregon but I can guarantee people died due to dimmed lights.

Surely there was never a real threat of bombing raids on the US mainland? It was common in Britain during WWII, though, because as you say air navigation was in its infancy, and no building was allowed to display a light, and any vehicle light had to be shaded to reduce illumination to a sliver. One of my uncles was in the army during WWII, and I remember him saying that due to the blackout, shrouded headlights, and all the road signs being removed, whenever his unit moved anywhere by road they would get lost nine times out of ten. Ah, apparently apart from coastal areas the blackout in the US was mostly for psychological effect.

Could someone clear up a question for me? Is Wahoo Terminal supposed to be Brooke's earlier comic before 9 Chickweed Lane and he's redrawing it? I ask because the fawning pathetic dog and the horrifically drawn cat could be considered a perfect parody of his "Men become slobbering fools around women" comics and it would be uncharacteristically aware of him to draw such a funny wink at the audience. I mean, he still thinks that he's drawing beautiful women, right? He still thinks that his recurring joke that women need only hint that they have a body under their clothes is enough to cause any man to nearly explode into a sexual frenzy, right? It would be weird if he was suddenly in on the joke.

Slammy posted:Whoops Sisters Well, I'm pretty sure there was one posted a little bit ago where they kidnapped some random kid. It's certainly interesting, but if you do decide to drop it, yeah, wait until at least that one because holy poo poo. I like a lot of the stuff you post though. Rarebit Fiend is one that I tend to skip over, not because I don't like it but because it really need to be opened in another tab and zoomed in on to appreciate. Good Time Guy I skip because it's pretty wordy, but when I do read it I like it. I'm really liking the various flapper comics/Gladys Parker comics though, as well as (of course) Everett True, Guess If They Are Married, And He Did and Mr. Tweedy. I don't always read Feiffer, but I do like it when I do. loving scathing. And of course, never stop Wee Pals.

Thousands of Japanese balloon-borne bombs were lofted into the US and Canada. A lot of them are still out there somewhere. Of course blackouts woudn't have helped the US or Canada avoid those.

Okay, I'm interested to see where the Mary Worth storyline is going. I kind of feel like they're going for "It's totally possible for an older man and a younger woman to just be friends without attraction, and Dawn's classmates are wrong to assume things," but there's also still the possibility of "Teacher is trying to start a romantic relationship with her and she gets upset" and/or "Dawn realizes that she should have listened to Mary and done things with her classmates instead of a teacher."

gently caress this comic and it's sassy children. Any field trip in grade school was great and exciting because you got to leave the classroom. We went to the local historical thing in my area in the 3rd grade and it was great and amazing and I still remember it to this day.

Wait, Is that Thing even a Dog Comix? Pooch Café    Hudson's owner is the only character in the strip who realizes how insane this all is, he's like the strip's own Frank Grimes. It's a shame he's going to die. Ballard Street    That dog is built almost exactly like a cow.
