Surgeon's Tales  As I mentioned before, the book had a chapter of István realizing that the Perttilä farm felt awfully familiar from his childhood and the implication was that he would be Lauri Larsson's kidnapped nephew, who ended up in Hungary and came back as Bertelsköld's servant. The book is still indecisive, if that's what actually happened, or if István is having false memories. The old owner of the Perttilä farm, Tuomas Larsson, appeared shortly in strips 1387-1390. After his death, his daughters sold the abandoned farm to his brother Lauri for a very cheap price. Lauri Larsson's enemy, fiscal Spolin, heard about István's memories and has started a lawsuit that claims that István should be able to reclaim the farm for same price that Lauri Larsson paid. It's been several years and the farm's real value is now much higher and it's basically half of Larsson's wealth. The main goal is to get Larsson to return back to Finland to defense his claim so he couldn't participate in politics in Stockholm. Torsten Bertelsköld is also involved and this is one of his schemes to make Larsson to support Hats party in which he has a high postition. It's unfortunate that the comic skips a lot of political plot lines, even if it's mostly just people talking. Nancy  Dustin  Cruel Little Stories

Bobulus posted:It hasn't come up a while lot, but Kell apparently changed her hunting behavior after marrying Kevin. Before, she just hunted random people off the street like most Herdthinner employees. Now she goes to The Wild to hunt, targeting people that have explicitly opted out of society. That somehow sounds a lot worse because now Kell is just targeting poor people that are off the grid.  It also doesn't help that we have Ralph to compare her to, and Ralph became incapable of hunting prey altogether because he felt sorry for them. Cowslips Warren posted:Like that one woman in FOOB, the one Liz's horrible future husband married? Therese? The one who only had a baby because he badgered her nonstop, and on the condition she never have to raise it, and how shocked he was when she meant it? Thanks, now I can't unsee it. EasyEW posted:Funky Winkerbean, recipient of innumerable curses from The Society of People Who Take This poo poo Too Seriously. Card carrying member, by the way. Ugh, so it's just a set-up to drag Dinkle's worthless corpse into this. Someone else mentioned how Batiuk doesn't know how churches work and fails to realize they're a close-knit community. If they really needed a new organ player, there'd be someone immediately piping up that they know a relative or a friend who can fill in. My old church even had the organ player training up one of the older kids to take over for them.

You also look like an rear end in a top hat putting seven stamps on a basic envelope instead of just spending fifty cents, but Ed is already an rear end in a top hat and he probably pays all his bills with checks in the mail anyway, so yeah this is no problem at all

As a mail carrier, I don't loving care how many stamps there are, I just pick it up. Also if Ed's a lawyer, whenever he'd need to mail something he'd bring it to work where they have one of those "print directly onto an envelope that this printing is worth full postage" printing machines and send it out with the mail there, like whenever I go to a business and leave with a bunch of StitchFix return packages because folks bring those to work to ensure they get picked up.

Some Guy TT posted:I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what purpose plundering ornamental goods serves in a post-apocalyptic society with no functioning trade networks. I could see it making sense as an intimidation tactic except that's the exact opposite of what the captain is doing by maintaining a secret treasure hoard. This is the kind of post-apocalypse story where everyone just transforms into a distilled version of some aspect of culture/society. In this case, Cap turned into some kind of capitalist pirate king. That is a lot more detail about their love life than I expected or needed to know. Green Intern fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Mar 21, 2021 |

Kammat posted:Yup, via wikipedia: I'm sure this is true of other towns too, but I can tell specifics about the town where I grew up. There was our main east-west road, and on either side of it, the main north-south road (the latter two did not connect but they didn't need to for the purposes of this model). So the town could thereby be divided into 4 quarters. When there was a fire, the fire station alarm would first sound 1, 2, 3, or 4 times to describe the quarter of the fire, then sound again to indicate how many blocks north or south of the main east-west road, then a third time to indicate how many blocks east or west of the north-south dividing road. By the time I was old enough to know about this, the town had long since switched to other means of notifying firefighters a fire was happening, and had switched to a generic 3-1-3 code. It being a small town, getting you to the right block was all you needed, as by then firefighters could either see the fire and just proceed to it, or see people gathering where the problem was happening. Another town within the same valley also had an alarm system that was similar, but I only ever heard it sound 3 blasts, which you would hear followed by a beat of silence and then the reverberation of the three blasts again off the mountains.

The Dinette Set is probably just a coincidence. Working Daze doesn't want much out of life.  Super-Fun-Pak Comix will grow into it.  Cul De Sac should just find out where they're going and hook up with them later.

Kennel posted:Dustin As mentioned, this is a problem with an easy solution. But I guess being able to complain about it makes it worth the extra money. Cicadalek posted:Does Holbrook think that the vernal equinox is Goth Sure, why wouldn't he? He apparently thinks you can start making a stonehenge cake at 5 am and have it finished and decorated before dawn. Johnny Walker posted:Rex Morgan PD was right there. I don't think this Sarah Morgan Imagination arc is a bad idea, but I think it'd work better if they'd quit explaining the joke every single time. Go ahead and include the text box setting up the premise for readers who just wandered in, but then let let us take it from there. Like today. The last panel where they're doing the pew pew fingers at each other is a cute gag! But then we have that text box underneath winking at us and nudging us in the ribs like, "did you see what I did there? Did you get it? It's the mind of a child! Did you get it? Okay, let me tell you..." Just absolutely kills the joke. And Beatty's been doing that this whole arc. Quit letting the air out of your own balloon, dude! At least Junk Drawer is here and knows how to tell a joke.
