Mandrake was even parodied in "Robot Chicken" (along with "The Phantom" and "Flash Gordon", the joke being that all three are owned by the same company). I get the feeling that if any 20 to 30-somethings know what "Mandrake" is, it's because it was referenced in that show

I think Mandrake's name recognition probably has more to do with "Defenders of the Earth" - at least in territories that saw syndicated reruns for years.

Is it just on my end or did GoComics just change their layout for the worse?

I saw it this morning, and I don't like it, either. I have no idea what they're trying to accomplish - this new layout is way more cramped and unappealing.

Her backstory is that she was named Modesty because she didn't care about being nude. An old dude named a 9 year old this.

It's a wedding for a multi-millionaire, so clearly the best cake they could afford was one that was slapped together from a few day-old supermarket birthday cakes.

Not going to be a regular thing, but I often just pick a random spot in the A&J archives and read a few strips, and I thought the thread would love these ones. And my "classic" reposts are in 1995, so I think this is forgivable.

Travel shows are very popular on South Korean television. The genre of these programs can vary quite a bit. Sometimes you have people trying to find food in a jungle in the middle of nowhere.



Others are just celebrities going on vacation to famous places.

Inspector Doma



And that's it for this episode of Inspector Doma. Was the format difficult at all? This was originally published in two parts, not eight, so I'm curious whether the slower pace made it more or less difficult/engaging to read. There's more stories but I was planning on getting back to Mother From Another Country next week.
