Dinky Dinkerton and Flyin' Jenny Sept. 11th, 1940 Axa I'm liking the setting of this story, the tree-monster was cool, but so far this one feels unusually disjointed and Axa's being more thoughtless than normal. Also it feels like Romero got antsy after the last story where she stayed mostly clothed, I might need to go and update that list I made earlier, this one might even tie the Sea Dome.

He must be hanging way back because he's nowhere to be seen, and I'm pretty sure they climbed a mountain. She also seems to have forgotten all about him.

quote:The view that carrots are good for the eyes is a notion still commonly held today. They do contain Vitamin A, a nutrient which helps contribute to healthy eyes, but it turns out the vegetables have a negligible effect on vision even if eaten in vast quantities. The Air Ministry deliberately fabricated the story to prevent the Germans from discovering the Allies’ invention and implementation of Airborne Interception RADAR units in their fighter planes. This new secret technology was the real reason British pilots always seemed to know when German planes were approaching. https://www.damninteresting.com/curio/for-your-eyes-only/ It was also used as part of a national nutrition campaign to get Americans to eat more vegetables; malnutrition was the most common reason men were rejected from the draft.

Mos Before Bros This is the beginning of a new volume so Bechdel has a new batch of character bios in the front. I'll say that, weirdly, these little intros reflect where the characters are at the end of the book more than where they are at the start, so don't freak out that you missed a pregnancy. I'll spoil these just to be safe, also for nudity. The first page is a bunch of gags about the ongoing commodification of queer culture in the early 90s-- for example ".01 Percent" is a riff on the Michigan-based "Ten Percent" which became "OutPost" in 1996 and ran until 2003, while "on our fax" is yet another joke on "off our backs." The joke behind all of these is the glut of high-end, gimmicky items marketed glibly towards a queer demographic, eg. the "Absolut Dildo" and "Absolut Trust Fund," based on the line of glossy Absolut vodka ads: The Ginger/Sparrow/...Malika!?? household on the other hand is reading real stuff. The East West Journal is (was?) a naturopathy and new age-y health and lifestyle magazine founded in 1971, while The Nation is an extremely long-running progressive magazine founded in 1865. Kind of a fun juxtaposition between the very crunchy granola side of early 90s lesbian culture and the more hard-edged leftist pragmatic side. Hothead Paisan: Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist is a comic strip by Diane DiMassa which debuted in 1991 and quickly found a loyal following among queer and punk comic fans. In recent years DiMassa has become markedly transphobic but for 1993 it's just a fairly hip reference and a tip of the hat to a fellow small-press lesbian cartoonist. Hothead's adventures are much more over the top and cathartic than DtWOF's usual style but in the early 90s they were peers in a not yet very crowded field. Anyway! Now that we're all reacquainted: Dykes to Watch Out For #127 (late 1991) Mo and Harriet's relationship issues continue to be a thread heading into 1992 although I think you can sense Bechdel kind of getting tired of the perpetual slow-burn fraying. This arc will come to a head pretty soon.

FrumpleOrz posted:Safe Havens If your magic DNA potions work by simply drinking them, and you presumably created this one from the mermaid's previous DNA sample, then why wouldn't it still transform her? Nothing makes sense and I'm getting mad. Also I keep thinking that John Arbuckle's hell would be as a side character in this comic strip.

Cheer Up Boss Dharma So this is a fun illustration of one of my big pet peeves regarding Korean culture misconceptions. You've probably heard that the Korean language uses honorifics. You've probably also heard from certain idiots that Korean honorifics are used to indicate hierarchical respect. And those of you who are really clever can probably guess that I tend to use "sir" or "ma'am" to indicate the presence of honorifics in the original Korean. But as you notice here, unusually, both characters in the same conversation are using honorifics. This isn't an error on my part. Dharma and the cop are deliberately using them to maintain maximum professional respect so the other person doesn't accidentally interpret their comments as being overly aggressive. They both stop using honorifics in the second half of the cartoon because they've been talking long enough they're no longer worried about this. Normally this aspect of everyday speech doesn't occur because usually only one person in any given conversation cares that much about being misinterpreted. In summary, Korean honorifics are almost entirely context dependent and don't actually say anything meaningful about Korean culture. Thanks for reading.
