Does memory have any effect when you're supposed to be taking diction? You're typing what someone says as they say it.

Taking notes in shorthand, then typing them up. (Your point still applies though.)

I've always wanted to learn shorthand, like, not enough to make any attempt at it, but I was looking for some other how to book in a library and saw a book about it and though, "that seems handy." and that was like 15-20 years ago and every single time the subject of shorthand comes up, I think "I really wish I'd grabbed that book."

If you didn't care to learn it for schooling then yeah it's never gonna happen. Before ubiquitous laptops and phone audio recording it was the best method for taking notes in lectures.

Is she threatening him with a derringer or a can opener?

If the former, fully loaded means one shot, maybe 2 if the writers are feeling generous.

Typically home invasions are not multiple men, and even if they are, putting one in the ground tends to deter the rest.

I once experienced a home invasion with multiple men--2 as far I could tell. There was a whole wave of them in that town that year (2000), but the wave virtually disappeared when some of them got shot. Some people got rid of invaders just by shouting "I HAVE A GUN."

Probably something like a Beretta Model 1935, 8+1 rounds of .32 ACP.

Yeah comics artists, unless they had military experience, are not great at drawing real guns. But nobody's going to have a derringer these days, they're for serious nuts who want concealable firepower, not home defense enthusiasts like Narda here. She would want something small, but a Beretta would definitely fit her needs.

Over on the Comic Strips thread this is being told as a flashback story to an interviewer who looks like the criminal in a different haircut and I can't tell if that's intentional.

American comic strips always suffer from the fact that artists, for one reason or another, keep working until their 80s or 90s. Also speaking from personal experience guns are hard to draw.

It's always sad, but fascinating to see when the quality starts going down towards the end. Unfortunately I don't have the last Mandrake story by Fred Fredericks (84) at hand, but it became completely incoherent.

I believe it was 3-G where the writer by the end got really frustrated that they were writing a fairly dramatic story with who they wanted to be modern young adults, but the artist just refused to draw anything other than 'bland people in 70s-esque business fashion talking at each other'.

There was that Wolverine panel (trading card?) where he had been shot up, but the artist drew it as if the bullets had been jammed into his body, casings and all. I could not give less of a poo poo about off-model guns in comics, but I love it when an goof like that gets through to publication.

Does anyone remember what I’m talking about? I can’t find the artwork anywhere.
