I love the old comics because they really give you a sense of what it was like to live in a different time

like any random box you pick up in the 20s could be filled with dynamite

As long as the nitroglycerin didn't leak out of the stabilizing medium, yes.

Turns out if you left it alone for a while it tended to do just that.

Since you're using imgur, follow up the img tag URL with h to have it display a rescaled thumbnail; then you can link the full-sized version with URL tags. So, [ url = imageurl ][ img ]imageurlh[ /img ][ /url ] without the spaces.

e: Also, thanks for starting up Batman! Read the first strips a long time ago but never any of the actual storylines; interested to see how it compares to the issues from the time.

I meant to post this and forgot. To clarify though, in the img tags, the h goes before the file extension. So:
code:

with the surrounding url tags and without the spaces.

Well, at least he's consistently nonsensical.

Ach, this one is largely untranslatable...the word principally used here, (관리) refers to keeping things in order. It can be applied in either a management context, a security context, or even a technical context, and is much less clumsier to use in Korean than its English equivalents. The 관리 room (what that literally says) can refer to any room that has stuff that lets you manage things in an official capacity. It looks like a security guard room to me.

OH IT'S ALWAYS PHIL COLLINS, ISN'T IT, DAHLIA?!

Julet Esqu posted:

Goddamn, Dahlia is useless even in comic strip form. I remember being a teenager in a mall waaaaay back in the 90's and her show was being played on the easy listening adult/contemporary station in whatever store I was in (just because it's called Dahlia After Dark doesn't mean a local station won't play repeats whenever it drat well feels like it) and some guy called in and was crying to her about how his wife is leaving him and he doesn't know what to do and he loves her so much and what did he do wrong and how can he stop her from going and he doesn't know how he can keep on living without her and so on. And Dahlia's like, "I've got the song just for you!" and plays that one Phil Collins song. You know the one? The one that goes, "You know I love you, but I just can't take this..." And I'm thinking, "Great. Now the guy has a gun in his mouth. You're a big help, Dahlia."

Ahhh, Dahlia. Great writing, Ces.


Speaking of great writing,
Luann


Dahlia should play them that one Phil Collins song. You know the one.

That one Phil Collins song actually would be appropriate to play in Neddy's situation.

Ces and me. Soul sisters. We understand Dahlia After Dark.
