Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

I think what Foster is saying in this first strip is "They don't find her "Beautiful," because that word doesn't describe how deeply they are in awe of her."



Pretty rough ending to this arc though, and a pretty rocky arc overall.

See, I interpreted it instead as "the traits that make her seem like a goddess also make her look weird as hell". The Watsonian explanation would be that at the time a lot of deities were basically just dudes, who did regular dude poo poo while also being deities, so her being a regular person wouldn't necessarily faze them. The Doylist one is that Foster seemed to be doing the best he could while also being racist. At least he acknowledged that they made their own civilizations and it wasn't secretly the vikings or aliens? Still not great, but you take what you can get with old-rear end comics.

I think you have the wrong idea about Rex Morgan. It's not a comic where nothing happens; it's a comic where lots of things happen, but they're never interesting. Even when you would think they really should be interesting, they somehow manage to avoid being so.

It probably tracks 100% with the target audience.

Not even like readers thinking "ha yes this old comic is still relevant" but like "ha yes this comic has its finger on the pulse of 2021".

A Konditorei is a business specializing in pastries and cakes, often but not necessarily with a cafe on site. I didn't think "coffee shop" would have hit quite the same cultural note but it's a loose analogue. Either way where Hund got the bone is anyone's guess.

Recent rains turning up victims from Die Nacht der langen Messer.

Grim joke aside it's interesting to see you could still make something that didn't seem touched at all by Nazism in mid-late 1930's Germany. I'd figure we'd see at least one strip by now with something like them doing the Sieg Heil in one panel or a flag or such. A quiet rebellion by the artist?

Didn't My Lovely Horse post a bit of an info dump about the author and how he was making this under a pseudonym, because he was consored for his anti-nazi views, or am I mixing it up.
