I mean, there's only two groups of pirates anyways, so if your poo poo gets stolen it's not like the case will be hard to crack.

The_Other posted:I wonder if this is specifically referring to the Technocracy Movement or just technocracy in general. This installment of The Timid Soul, from January 30, 1933 (two weeks earlier), pretty clearly indicates that Webster is making GBS threads on the Technocracy Movement in specific. Bassett Jones was an electrical engineer who was mentioned in many Technocracy Movement contexts, but I'm not really sure who he was.

God the singularity nuts were exactly the same a century ago. They went from polynomial to exponential improvement magically happening, but otherwise were saying exactly the same nonsense, expressing progress as a simple formula. Nerds. Nerds never change.

In the first one the couple is wearing modern swimwear while the other bather is in old fashioned swimwear reading a newspaper from 1914. In the second, the empty bus is approaching a graveyard and someone has pressed the stop signal.

Late with my comics today. By the way, if you're triggered by dogs eating chocolate, this is not the post for you. Rhymes with Orange  Get Fuzzy 2/11/01  Brenda Starr 11/18/45  Smokey Stover 6/15-17/39    Richard's Poor Almanac  Yeah, it's another Glebe Road joke for DMV-area drivers. And "Unmitigated Gull" is awesome.

Sally Forth Pearls Before Swine  Skippy (July 26, 1933)  Peanuts (February 15, 1974)  Funky Winkerbean  Plagueshaft  9 "Not Actual Porn, But It Makes Me Feel Dirty" Lane  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (September 14, 1937)[/b]  Out Our Way (January 30-February 1, 1936)    FDR's forgotten man was roughly the early Depression equivalent of "we are the 99%", the bottom of the economic pyramid that needed the New Deal programs the most. As you can see, though, the turn of phrase kind of got away from him. Toonerville Folks (February 25-27, 1917)    A little bit of future vision about compulsory service... The Selective Service Act passed into law on May 18, 1917, six weeks after America formally entered the First World War, which gave the US president the power to draft soldiers. At the outset of America's entry into the war, America's army was 100,000 volunteers who weren't necessarily trained or equipped for what the Europeans had been dishing out and taking. That increased dramatically over the next year, but it took some time. Needless to say, we're well past "I Didn't Raise My Boy To Be A Soldier" by now.

The last one I remember was that goon-translated German one with the guy yelling out "deduction!" every few panels like he was an anime character.

The Comics Curmudgeon claims there's a rumor or something that Crankshaft has a year-long buffer, so these "Flu" strips would've been made just as things were starting, if that's correct. So Batuik was assuming calling it "covid" wouldn't be topical anymore by the time they came out. Also explains the one strip referencing hand sanitizer specifically.

I’m really appreciating how Sally Forth is letting in some humor while still letting an emotional situation be expressed well. That’s a very difficult line to walk, and they seem to be handling it well.

Honestly, that would answer the question I've had about why the hell there's not a flu shot in the Crankshaft-verse, since there wouldn't have been a vaccination for covid at the time.
