JethroMcB posted:I love the slack-shouldered, stooped posture. Great visual storytelling in just a single frame. (Aleta looks like every character in Intelligent Life, but for a reason.) I wonder if anyone ever wrote about the people he used for models, or his process? Or if he drew everything from manikins.

 Luann has clearly never been or met a child; all this is so baffling to her. Like, just play along, Luann. Who's going to see you besides your family? She's planning to teach elementary school. (And yeah, she does work at a daycare. Or did. We haven't seen her there in ages, but we never saw her actually quit/get fired either. Maybe because the Evanses went and tied morality to this job? Like, Tiff is a bad person and an unnatural woman because she doesn't like working at the daycare, so if Luann quits...)

Eh, you can read it that way, or you can read it as Jeremy just kind of sliding from topic to topic online and getting to see some amazing natural stuff. How many times do you go through a random thread here and get a link/tangent on some cool thing you never knew about before?

I the the best part of this Prince Valiant arc is that they made it clear nobody was fooled by Aleta, and that they did make sure to give her at least one chance to bathe. Lets Val and the rest be clever, and shows him being rather considerate.

I like that it poked fun at Aleta without making her any less badass and without making it read like old timey-style misogyny punishing a woman character for being cool.

That wasn't the first peace proposal, and it wasn't really expected to lead to the Armistice. Particularly in public discussion. And even October 5th is most of a month after the comic in question.
