Is it really a common thing in Korea that workers won't get their paychecks some weeks? Do they at least get, like, a double check later, or are they just shorted that money and have to suck it up?

Honestly, aside from the unfortunate art style (which is bad but typical when it was drawn), Out Our Way was pretty progressive for its time.

The cowboys theme in particular has a evenhanded portrayal of Big Ick compared with the other cowboys - half of them are illiterate, they all play the buffon at times, and all of them (except Wes) are written with heavy dialect.

Not sure why the Dick Tracy crew just didn't use the modern, Darwyn Cooke verion of Ebony where he's just a young black kid, other than just being really committed to this '40s thing:


But the Darwyn Cooke Spirit books are really good, you should read them.

Speaking of black kids who love horror stories, here's Curtis, not really understanding how "yo momma" jokes work, or cyber-bullying, or basically anything:

There are none left in Los Angeles but there are a few in Ohio and is one in Florida. So they would have to be in Florida? But filming is going on in Los Angeles.

You know where he should have had them walk by fondly? One of the old-school Jewish delis. They've been around since before Hollywood and if anything will outlive Hollywood they will. Because the food is delicious.

Let's go with Canter's. It's still open. And the sign and the location screams "Los Angeles" more than any restaurant that's been closed since the 1970's.

For a start, Aries currently consists of five stars, not four. It has contained more stars than that in the past as stars, rather than being fixed pin-pricks in the sphere of the sky through which we can see God, are burning nuclear arsenals whirling about an expanding universe with no regard for artistic licenses. Aries was also originally the Field Worker, and probably shifted into a ram due to changes in agrarian practices or as the constellation moved to cultures with more of a focus on husbandry. To boot, traditionally the ram is depicted as being seated to accommodate for there being no 'limb stars'.

On the other hand, constellations don't actually look like anything. Show someone an unfamiliar constellation and ask them what they think it is and they're never going to guess it in a million years. I mean, even with the lines drawn on:

I mean, it's clearly a horned animal of some kind. It's situated right next to a guy with a bow and arrow, too.



But part of my point is that criticising constellations for not looking exactly like the things they're named after is kind of stupid 3,000 years after the stars they were made from were assigned symbols that, as far as we know, could be have been given due to anything from the cultural symbolism the time of year those stars were used to identify and designate to simply some ancient nerds star-gazing and imaging something wholecloth with no context like a child would with clouds. The only reason they have names is just to shorten "hey, when the sun rises in the area between that group of stars there and the star really far below it, and the slightly stronger stars to the left of it but still inside the bright star to the left of the bright star above the whole group, then it's spring"

Mike is highly intelligent and wonderfully imaginative. He has a great job as a software engineer, makes really good money, but still lives with his mom – in his mind, it’s completely illogical to pay rent or a mortgage, or even cook your own meals when your mom is delighted to continue doting on you.

I think there has been all of one (1) strip depicting Mike at work, obviously not doing any work.
