Moomin panel borders remain excellent. Loving the safety pins and the gag about Moominpapa needing the medal around his neck because he’s naked, very understated. Classic Zits  Does anyone still have laundry chutes? Before she moved in with my dad, my stepmom had one in her house. We kids loved playing vertical catch and dropped many random objects into the basement, the chute went up to the second floor as well but we were only allowed to use the ground floor one. Have they gone the way of the dumbwaiter? I absolutely know I would have gotten myself stuck in a dumbwaiter when I was a dumb kid, having an open hole with a ~15 foot drop onto poured concrete seems like the same kind of hazard. But a fun hazard! Bibliotechno Music fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Apr 19, 2021 |

Is there a good reason, besides his own amusement, that the Phantom is juggling so many different identities? And why is he doing such a poor job of it? "Ernesto, I just talked to a man in sunglasses and shirt about your escape!" "Did you talk to the 'trusted man'? That sounds like him." "No, no. This was a different white man wearing sunglasses" "Do you mean John X?" "No? John X is a white guy who always wear sunglasses. The man I was talking about is a white guy who always wear sunglasses, try to keep up!"

Nancy 1946 So it has come to this: I have had to spoiler classic Nancy due to racial stereotypes. Bushmiller doesn't have a particularly good track record on this stuff. I have three Nancy books, covering nine years, and POC are fairly absent. Just about any time a POC appears in the strip, it's usually to make a joke about their appearance, or their language/speech patterns. Blacks are also fairly absent from the strip, I can only recall one or perhaps two where they are depicted in a circus-related strip as native Africans. Nancy 1946 is a pretty White strip. Spoilered for Asian stereotypes:

manero posted:Nancy 1946 As much as its a stereotype, pekingese dogs are specifically, and legitimately associated with the large sleeves she's imitating here. They were bred that small to be used as living sleeve warmers for qing dynasty royalty (who were the only ones who could legally own them). The stereotypical large sleeves were part of the official court dress for those same qing dynasty courtiers. You'd keep a dog in your sleeves because beijing winters were cold. The addition of a fake race hat renders that excuse null and void, because a rice hat was piece of peasant clothing to avoid sunburn. And that's too say nothing of how gilchrist drew Nancy's face here. But you know, accidentally getting one thing right is pretty good, right?

SubNat posted:Moominposting My granddad had this job in England just after The War, Had to crack down on poachers what with rationing and all, and from what I hear he did a good job of it. Of course it would look improper if he did any hunting on his own as the guy in charge of regulating it, so the locals would share some of what they got. All completely on the up and up, I'm sure.

CommonShore posted:Torsden gonna get hosed up The Surgeon is the narrator and a framing device who appears in the beginning of each book and during intermissions. There's some neat banter between him and his listeners, but those segments are not plot-critical, so it's understandable that they were cut.

My parents' house has a door in the bathroom you can open up with a laundry chute to the basement. It's not really a metal one though, it's almost like a long wooden fenced in box with a floor about 4 feet above the floor itself. Sometimes the cat would go into it and you'd hear her meow from down there.

Michael didn't want to do so and leave behind his girlfriend, so the parents said they won't make him go if he could find a job.

It also pissed me off, not so much for the classist reasons but because it was so heavy handed and they got mad at him for getting mad at their lovely parenting.
