I can only assume that the amount of smugness that the characters in this strip has to contend with must be deadly.

That's quite a vicious criticism of artists failing to depict reality in all its harsh ugliness in favour of palatable, pleasant motives, and I feel like hiding it in spoilers because what it shows is so unpalatable and unpleasant really just adds a whole other layer to that.

Surprise historic depictions of white supremacist violence, even when the artist is very obviously on the right side of human decency, turn out to be one of my triggers. And yeah, that slots into the theme of the strip a little too well for comfort. :shrug:

Prickly City, or How Not to Do a Crossover



(For those who aren't familiar with Prickly City, it's a sort of political strip that veers between declaring that Both Parties Are Equally Bad and trying to be Calvin and Hobbes. It's also got some of the laziest copy-and-paste art on the comics page. I mean, the artist was even too lazy to put Heathcliff's gum bubble in.)

This continues to be my favorite of the older comics. It's super simple but also super wholesome. It feels kind of modern in this respect actually.

...God I hope it doesn't get super racist later.

You can understand why Peanuts became a sensation. Charlie Brown is terrifically emotive from panel to panel; the way he goes from irritated to furious to inconsolable and back to furious is hilariously pathetic and uncomfortably relatable.

So I'm not going to start posting it, but I'd like to note that Modern Dick Tracy has started a particularly insane storyline this week, involving time travel.

Dick Tracy 8/23-24/21




There's a short story by Isaac Asimov called "The Dead Past" about a scientist who invents a camera that can be used to view events in the past. Everyone's excited about the possibilities for historical research ... until one person points out that the camera can also be used to snoop on what anyone was doing five minutes ago, destroying any expectation of privacy.

So naturally, Dick is thrilled with the swell police state he could set up with the time drone.

BAWWW-UNH!
Surgeon's Tales

In the comic we saw how Eerikki (who later was Paul's foster parent in Turku) found the ring that had been swallowed by a fish. In the book there was also a chapter how ten years before the current events he had a dream about losing it and apparently Lauri Larsson managed to steal it, but the book doesn't give details.

In the book doctor Weiss also gives as a (pretty silly) lore dump about the ring. Apparently every five hundred years Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are perfectly aligned for 8 minutes and 14 seconds, and the ring was forged during such event in January 14th 1318 (in real life they weren't close to each other at that time). Weiss also has a magic compass that helped him to find the ring-bearer and he believes that he could unlock the ring's true powers that are far greater than we've seen so far.

False alarm: Sophie was distracted by a familiar voice. Let's see how Neddy's doing.







I don't like Kat. I'm not sure if we're supposed to or not.



Ghost or hallucination? Hallucination. But one of those ones fictional characters have so they can sort out their feelings in a more dramatic fashion than just sitting in silence because it's all happening inside their mind.



So I guess Neddy's ready to move on now. Maybe she'll even move out of Ronnie's place.
