There have been a number of doping scandals in cross country skiing, including a famous one in Finland where in 2001 six Finnish athletes were caught using Hemohes, a hydroxyethyl starch substance.



As an aside, "iskender" is a type of kebab that's become very popular in Finland. Since Turkish and other Middle-Eastern immigrants made kebab restaurants an ubiquitous part of urban Finland, kebabs have become so popular that they're sometimes referred to as Finland's modern national dish. An iskender is a dish where kebab meat and salad are piled on pieces of pita bread.



Now I want a kebab.

Blondie (From Zero) (August 20-22, 1931)
Weird how they went from Dagwood's parents opposing his marriage to Blondie and putting all sorts of obstacles in their way, to Blondie and Dagwood trying to elope, to Dagwood's parents giving their approval, straight back to the beginning again. I had assumed we were getting close to the point where they actually married and Dagwood got disowned, but now I'm not sure.

I'm guessing this has been said in here before, but I really think Curtis could be one of the best newspaper comics around if Billingsley got a decent writer involved. He's a genuinely talented artist, as evidenced by the Kwanzaa stories, but even the day-to-day art is solid and expressive. It's just the day-to-day writing that's usually bad.

Let him keep writing the Kwanzaa stories though, those seem to range from interesting to downright bizarre.

It Can't Happen Here (Which We've Titled As Something Else, Because I Dunno, You Tell Me) (January 26, 1936)


e: Okay, this one scrambled my brain just a bit. He proposes inflation? So I had to go for the book.

Senator Windrip's campaign issued a policy statement called "The Fifteen Points of Victory for the Forgotten Men." Point number 8 is "Congress shall have the sole right to issue money and immediately upon our inauguration it shall at least double the present supply of money, in order to facilitate the fluidity of credit." Jessup translates that as "by inflation, big industrial companies will be able to buy their outstanding bonds back at a cent on the dollar." But yeah, as the strip implies, Windrip's racial policies would make an apartheid supporter blush.
It was excessively tight monetary policies in Germany that exacerbated the Great Depression enough to bring Hitler to power. Hitler went to aggressive money printing. Officially, he didn't increase the money supply, but he created a new kind of bank note which also circulated, printing almost as much as the existing money supply. This brought Germany out of the Depression pretty quickly and by 1936 they were back to roughly full employment. So Windrup is basically promising to copy Hitler's (successful) monetary policies.

Current fascists tend to support hard money policies because they want to keep the ultra-wealthy who fund them happy. In addition the crushingly constrictive money policies that brought Hitler to power are very rare today, so they wouldn't have freebie benefits from running the printing presses anyway.

Yeah, personally I feel Billingsley should just retire the Curtis cast and make the whole strip about weird African fantasy stories.

Speaking of, out of curiosity are any of the Kwanzaa stories based on actual African folklore or did he just make them all up himself?

This is a heck of a stretch for fair use. So far, they both seem to be entirely sincere, and Allison didn't even bother to slightly change the names, let alone the character designs.
