I kinda have a feeling Narda is imagining all this. Consider: they were watching a movie about a mad scientist, and she was suspicious of the scientist dude from the start. Then she smells some stuff from a test tube or breaker or something and feels faint, and after that the whole song and dance with the criminal trying to kill Mandrake and then getting shrunk begins. I think she actually fainted for real when she smelled the chemical, and this is all her dream.

Haifisch posted:I found this in my folder ofold comic thread stuff and I think it would be appreciated alongside Little Lefty(sadly just the one comic): Ooooo, that goes a long way towards explaining what the hell's going on in that first substitute strip.  So, gifted with new knowledge, we have our answer to "what the hell?: Jack Herman's "Comrade Kids" was a recurring feature in the New Pioneer children's magazine (5 cents monthly at the more open-minded newstands in your neighborhood), and since everybody was already working out of New York, it wouldn't have been a massive hassle to have Herman and his characters fill the gap while Del was laid up. So that clears up what's going on while Del's away (and thank you so much, because that discovery was a proper brain-unscrambler). As to how good of a fit the switcharoo is...well, we'll find out soon enough.  (Del's New Pioneer back cover from February 1937) Anyway, back to The MiniSec Ecocide Museum! The 2007 exhibit, in which Bunnista says, "It's not disobedience if it's civil." (November 12-16)      And 2010 demonstrates an exercising of choices, fashion and otherwise. (December 13-17)

Yes, sourpuss, the colonization of North America and the planting of a few plants by guerrilla gardeners are similar situations. Well done. Scary Gary

I was going to say this too, but I'm unsure if she's still imagining it, or if the hallucination stopped after the shrink ray stuff and then when the cops showed up for real, tried to tell them about the shrink ray stuff and they went "Welp she's crazy" and took her away.

One of the reasons Footrot Flats was so huge in New Zealand (apart from being good) is that it is very heavily agricultural across the whole country - at the time Ball was penning them, almost 50% of New Zealand was sheep or cattle farms.

An abbreviated version of the main payload tonight: Sally Forth  Pearls Before Swine  Skippy (January 3, 1934)  Peanuts (August 28, 1974)  The Les Moore Conspiracy  Crankshaft  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (March 26, 1938)  Out Our Way (April 1-3, 1937)    And now, please welcome your substitute Little Lefty, Comrade Kids! (March 25-27, 1935)    It should go without saying there was a lot of strike coverage in the Daily Worker, but the one they're talking about here is against the National Biscuit Company (Nabiscso), which was getting all kinds of attention on the front pages. And cue the theme song...  (March 22, 1935, right where the strip would've been.)

Surgeon's Tales Neither the book nor the comic does really explain, how he knows that the man is a doctor.  So the man who travels with Lauri Larsson is Doctor Martin Weiss, a German alchemist who appears to be able to create gold. For whatever reason the comic skipped how Lauri met Paul Bertelsköld in Finland in those earlier chapters. Paul paid his foster parents' loans to Lauri with alchemical gold and later introduced him to doctor Weiss. Lauri is an extremely greedy miser and promises to even sell his soul for gold to Weiss when he asks for it. Nancy  Dustin  Mandrake
