SynthOrange posted:Dogbert's late to this one. This is already a well established business in asia. Even in the West ripping off grieving relatives is a perfectly worthwhile business model without having to drag ghosts into it. The main obstacle to an insurance scheme is that anyone asking questions like "do I really want my family to go broke buying a thousand dollar suit for me to wear when I'm dead" is more likely to respond by saying "do not bankrupt yourselves paying for my funeral you morons" than buying insurance. Julet Esqu posted:Phantom Classic Right after Jungle Jim it may seem a little hard to believe, but I can't help but read this as the tribesmen trying to scam free food off of the Phantom before actually helping him. It's All Right Chief Dharma   I don't know why he keeps adding those postscripts. I can't edit them easily since they're not in a white box, and they never add anything anyway. Anyway, context! This comic was posted a few months after Sewol and is obviously referencing it, so that's an excuse for me to write about what happened since the last time you heard about it in the news. You know how investigating Benghazi is this huge fixation with the Republican Party? Sewol is kind of like that for the South Korean left. The important differences- seventy times as many people died in Sewol. Independent investigation has indicated the main cause for the sinking was not a random freak accident, but deregulation creating perverse incentives in regards to crew training, safety standards, and import tariffs (the island Sewol was going to is in a special economic zone). After the attack, rescue boats spent several hours outside Sewol literally doing nothing because they were awaiting orders that never came. Most of the victims could have been saved had action been more prompt. In the aftermath of the sinking, the right-wing political party (Saenuri) tried to sweep all this under the rug. When family members of the victims started protesting, conservative activists responded by mocking them and accusing them of being communist opportunists. Conservative self-awareness of the optics of this has been so fantastically bad that they taunted hunger striking protestors by eating pizza in front of them. That's in reference to an old hunger strike, not the newer one earlier this month which is directed at the government trying to shut down the official government committee by cutting funding when it's only about halfway finished. The official investigation started about sixteen months after the disaster happened. You can perhaps see why to this day there is a twenty-four hour protest at Gwanghwamun Square, one of the biggest tourist areas in Seoul. On the grassroots level anger about this has been huge. Saenuri has a metric fuckton of problems right now- Sewol just happens to be the most visible one. It's why they got their asses handed to them the last parliamentary election and also why whoever they nominate for President next year is facing longer odds than Trump at actually winning. Saenuri's only plan for electoral victory at this point is literally redbaiting, and even with everything North Korea is doing in regards to nuclear tests, no one is buying it anymore. People used to think Sunshine Policy was the ultimate in naive optimism but the situation has gotten so much worse in the nine years since it was abandoned that Saenuri no longer has any credibility on national security. That you probably were not aware of any of this until some guy on a comedy website's message board told you is, I hope, the surest possible evidence that nearly everyone writing about Korean issues in English today is a lovely hack. I mean, sheesh, I'm a film critic, not a journalist, but even in that limited field the effect this has had locally is so huge you practically have to stick your fingers in your ears to not be aware of it. Either that or get blackout drunk every night instead of doing actual research. edit: Oh, one more thing. They've only just now gotten around to actually salvaging the ship and getting close to recovering the bodies. This is probably why Saenuri thought they could kill the committee prematurely. That they seriously thought that after all this time and gently caress-ups this would satisfy the issue well...again, they're just horribly tone-deaf is the main problem here.

Selachian posted:Edge of Strong Men Also Cry Waitwaitwait. So in that earlier strip about the guy rushing to a hospital to hear the last words of his wife, the wife was also pregnant? I haven't followed this strip at all, the hospital strip just caught my eye since the structure reminded me a lot of certain other strip. So it was literally loss 2.0. Buckley should be proud.

She's obviously going to live so they have a solid link into the underage drink driving investigation. The other girl has to survive so they can blame each other for causing it and have courtroom drama. The guys in the back might have names but I honestly don't know if they do, so they're irrelevant to the story. That only leaves the driving boyfriend. So, I'm betting the driving kid has had his head smashed like a coconut filled with jam and that's his blood splashed on her face.

Judge Parker has gone even grimmer than I was expecting. Amazing. Okay, so will the newspapers be deluged in complaints from very old people, or will the strip become more and more grim and inappropriate while nobody notices but us?

Her hair is going 'up'. She's probably hanging upside down from a tree or something, having been thrown from the crash and miraculously alive and mostly unharmed. Unfortunately.

goatface posted:About four days by train, probably. By a 1920s car though? Probably more like a month. You didn't have highways or interstates back then, and vehicles were still uncommon, so you'd have to stick to the major major routes so you can get gas. Honestly, I don't think anyone traveled that far by car. You could just take a train.
