Asking a Dick Tracy villain how they got their name has got to be the single laziest bit of writing I've seen in many years of following this thread. With a wide margin, too.

I don't know, it might be interesting if the villain in question wasn't actually ugly.

I'm assuming this is a joke about how the magistrate in the Story of Chunhyang would have needed witnesses and guards, but they are never seen or mentioned until the end of the story.

Chuck Buried Treasure posted:

She stopped him from doing some kind of war-related organizing/volunteering, but there's a strip where he says that he's past the age limit to enlist. I don't know what it was in 1917 but nowadays federal law says no one older than 42 can enlist and each branch sets their own limits lower than that--the US Army won't take anyone over 35 (normally, there's waivers and exceptions and stuff) and the Marines won't take anyone over 28. I think Everett's supposed to be well into middle age.

The Selective Aervice Act of 1917 required all men 21 to 30 to register for the draft, which Congress modified in 1918 to 18 to 45, respectively. As to voluntary enlistments, those were governed by the 1916 National Defense Act, which similarly set the ceiling at 45, with a very few narrow exceptions allowable (largely for technical requirements the services might have trouble filling otherwise). I also don't much care for the Jingoistic True arc, as it's as considerable odds with the character as previously written.

Yeah. The thing I noticed seeing the older ones is that modern A&J seem to have a much closer/stable relationship. A lot of the old comics seem to be about Janis being angry with Arlo, or second-guessing him when he says she's pretty or things like that. I dunno if it was a deliberate choice to change that or if the author just aged.

Chirashizushi (ちらし寿司, "scattered sushi", also referred to as barazushi) serves the rice in a bowl and tops it with a variety of raw fish and vegetable garnishes. It is commonly eaten because it is filling, fast and easy to make.[citation needed] It is eaten annually on Hinamatsuri in March.
[...]
Sushi-meshi 鮨飯 (also known as Su-meshi 酢飯, shari 舎利, or gohan ご飯) is a preparation of white, short-grained, Japanese rice mixed with a dressing consisting of rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and occasionally kombu and sake. It has to be cooled to room temperature before being used for a filling in a sushi or else it will get too sticky while being seasoned. Traditionally, the mixing is done with a hangiri, which is a round, flat-bottom wooden tub or barrel, and a wooden paddle (shamoji).
