That's exactly the panel I would have singled out for notice. Foster is so good at expressions and writing parallels to themes still relevant today that you could replace Val's tunic with a Brooks Brothers suit and the scroll with a sheet of 8X11" and you'd still know he was freaking out over a huge bill. BTW, I was looking at the guest list for a comic convention at the end of this month in CT and there's one in particular everyone should avoid..  There's something missing from his resume..

Boy that spring sounds neat. Let's look it up in Wikipedia. quote:"At first I declared it the Crater of an Ancient Volcano. The Water occupying its hollow center is fathomless, and about 200 feet in diameter in a perfect circle! It is always brimming full and running over on all sides ... The hills about it were as sacred to the Indians as those about Jerusalem." Nice! quote:In the end, the developers won. Construction on Glen Elder Dam began in 1964 and was completed by the end of 1968. Engineers bulldozed the hotel and health spa then, adding insult to injury, dumped the debris into the pool of Waconda Spring. Water from the Solomon River began filling up the valley, and by 1970 it was full. The irreplaceable Waconda Spring was lost beneath the waters of the reservoir that now bears its name. Oh...

The hydrologist concluded that Waconda Spring was unique and possibly the only spring like it in the world. However, commercial advocates in favor of the dam dismissed the hydrologist and dismissively claimed that Waconda Spring was nothing more than a "mud hole."

Moomin under sail M  I feel one thing that drags M a bit down, nearly 2 decades later is of course that many of the jokes that have bubbled through the public consciousness have also been done to death and back since then. Also the words are so similar I didn't feel a need to translate Actionfigurer to action figures.

riderchop posted:Safe Havens So, Holbrook slaps down so many things without ever thinking about them. But the whole 'time travel is extremely fixed, and there is no free will, only predestination' thing he's got going on in the background is just low-key terrifying. It doesn't help that those two are apparently incapable of making any kind of decisions without the guidance of their time-travelling daughter, regardless of if things are locked in stone or not. But stuff like this seems to imply that they never just.. pick a house/place they like. They always picked that specific house because that's the house their kid grows up in. Buying it sight-unseen. What happens if they deviate from her instruction? Is this just in a separate timestream that's safe, or will everything get catapulted off the rails a single event happens that changes how she grows up? How utterly hosed is this poor kid going to be, growing up around this strange adult version of themselves that knows everything they've done, every secret they'll ever have? Will they even be able to grow up, or will the future version of themselves always be there to 'correct' them whenever they try to be their own person? (Holbrook probably operates on soft-scifi where they can do whatever because every single time-travel event has it's own, contained timestream where they don't conflict with eachother, but still: Poor kid.)

There's a review board that has to judge which crimes of science they're allowed to do all this time?!  SubNat posted:So, Holbrook slaps down so many things without ever thinking about them. It's even worse than that. There was a part where the daughter's knowledge of the future didn't match with what was happening. When a huge meteor was on a collision course with Earth, her parents asked her if she knew the course it was taking so they could divert it. She answered that she didn't know about this meteor thing happening, which makes no sense since this is a pretty major event in human history and she should've known about it growing up. Who knows what other things don't match with the time-traveling daughter's memories? So the future isn't fixed. These idiots have just been taking their future kid's words as the gospel truth and following it, locking themselves into her version of the future.

Poor Waconda Spring, destroyed by progress: " Perhaps to create publicity and boost sales of bottled water, a deep-sea diver was hired in 1908 to validate the well's depth. According to legend, the bottomless well was connected to the ocean and fell with the tide. The diver claimed to find no bottom, and instead uncovered trinkets that were interpreted as past spiritual offerings. Forty years later a team of geologists from the University of Kansas used sonar and found the well to be nearly 115 feet in depth. Abraham and his descendants operated the spa until 1964 when federal flood control measures required the construction of a reservoir at Waconda Springs. Despite efforts to preserve the site as a national monument, the structures were bulldozed and the well was sealed in 1968. The spring was covered by water after a dam was built in on the Solomon River. Today it is Waconda Lake at Glen Elder State Park."

Who knows what other things don't match with the time-traveling daughter's memories? She was aware of the meteor, but in her timeline it was destroyed long before ever reaching Earth. It's not so much time travel as jumping to alternate universes that are temporally out of synch with each other. Also, before she used time travel to study medicine to be the ship's doctor, she was blonde. Also, Katwin kicks rear end.

Crab Dad posted:This one stings really bad because his arm at the bottom near his hand is service stripes/hash marks for 3 years of service each (18years). Also he somehow got out at E2 which is.... not good. Minor correction: those are service bars, not hashes. Hashes are diagonal, and you’re right that they indicate 3 years of service per stripe. Service bars, though, are horizontal, and were a WW1/WW2-only thing. Each bar indicated six months in overseas combat duty. I’m phone posting, so here’s a lazy link to a photo of a dress jacket with both: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Andersoncoat.jpg So not 18 years of service, but 36 months in active overseas duty during WW2, so almost the entire war, which is pretty loving impressive. (And also still wonky that he only made E2, but could also be a direct comment on how racist the Army was about promotions.)

At least the E2 makes a bit more sense. I had a uncle who made E4 three times due to alcohol incidents during Korea era so there’s always that.
