Surgeon's Tales  The incident in Demmin gets mentioned again in few days and apparently 70 Finns held against overpowering enemy. I couldn't find anything else from the other sources (btw. I'm not a historian and not very well-versed to Finnish history under Sweden so a lot of these footnotes are a result of quick googling and recalling stuff we had in elementary school). I guess this is a good time to note that the book is framed as the narrator recalling the stories he heard from an old military surgeon as a child (hence the title). The surgeon himself was born in the late 18th century so the tales are a retelling of a retelling of a retelling. Additionally the prologue hints that the surgeon might be quite unreliable narrator even when talking about his own life, so take these stories as a heroic epic rather than a historically accurate reports.

I’m kicking myself that I never realized Arlo and Janis was a great strip. I guess I’ve reached the age where it’s completely relatable.

I think the point of this one was them showing off that they totally know Donnie Pitchford, who they just spent an entire story arc doing in-joke stuff about. The Gocomics commenters are complaining about it too, which is a sign is actually is that bad. Aside from the one weirdo who keeps popping up to make bad Dick Tracy poems.

Man, Arlo and Janis is really loving good and I can't believe it took this long to discover this. Edit: By which I mean it's been around for so long and even when I got papers that ran it, I think I skipped it when I was a kid.

Johnny Walker posted:Mary Worth Christ, this story is tedious. The only reason Toby has a worry at all is because her husband TOLD her about the student. Telling your spouse that someone seems to have a crush on you is — generally — not the first step towards starting an affair. Normally, attraction blossoms in secret. If this had been competently plotted, Toby would have begun to suspect the student's affection not by being told but by noticing something. Worse, over the ~two weeks of depicting the conversation between Toby and Mary, not once is the question of Ian's dependability brought up. No questions about whether she trusts Ian to do the right thing, no questions about whether Ian has the loving sense to avoid Title IX violations at his place of employment. I'm not up on Mary Worth lore, so I don't know how Ian and Toby got together. I note that she's much younger than him so it could be that she's worried that whatever happened between her and him will happen between him and someone else. Did she start up an affair with him? That would give the story a little more grounding, though if that's the case maybe somewhere in the 14 or so strips leading to this moment she could have mentioned that worry explicitly.

Mary's investigations reveal that Ian has been going from affair to affair for centuries. He sustains himself by slowly draining each woman's life force for years until she eventually becomes erratic and paranoid about their relationship, at which point it's time to cast that one off and attract a new, younger woman. Fortunately, when Mary was young she was briefly an apprentice to a kindly old shaman. But will her decades-old occult skills be enough to destroy the monster? What of Janine, the next victim in line? And what price must Toby pay for freedom? Prepare yourself for the thrilling conclusion to this storyline in the hit action comic Mary Worth!

Round cell is 0, splat is 1, oval blob is 2, rectangle is 5, and the one with cilia is 6. I also had a few teachers in high school that would have given credit for this.
