Just for comparison, not everyone wanted to run these in the cameo-style framing. Some brave soul translated this layout into the regular rectangle. It didn't work out that well.



Dok's Dippy Socialism (January 30, 1914)



The Town Crier again (links go to the Seattle Star's snarky "know your candidate" write-ups):

"This year the Socialists are split into two wings and two candidates for mayor are in the running. Adam Rausch is the red one and it is generally conceded that the red branch ordinarily musters a big majority of the Socialist vote. But Judge Richard Winsor, running for the socialistic grades of lighter color--the minority faction--is expected to make up the normal difference in the factional vote and perhaps pick up some support outside the party by reason of his long residence in Seattle and the respect in which he is generally held by those who know him."

They go on to pretty rightly call it: with two socialists fighting for a berth, neither one got through to the final round.

The water bottle in the cage they both lived in was filled with serum to make the transformations permanent, wasn't it? That's why they couldn't turn him back into a snake before?
Thank you, I thought I was going crazy. Is it permanent or not, you assholes?! You can't have it both ways!

Zerilan posted:

Again, this is treating someone as being in the wrong for being hesitant to come out as their original species to someone openly talking about how they would kill and eat that species. Considering how much Holbrook loves species as race/gender/sexuality metaphors this is a really lovely arc.
Yeah it's just poo poo all around. You force the poor snake to work for you, "accidentally" turn him into a mouse, make him think he's permanently one, and now all of this. What the hell for?
I have a feeling it's not the snake that needed the lesson in empathy

This arc has largely been better than advertised, but this conclusion of "neither of us is going to actually apologize but isn't it awesome that we know what to name the dog now!" is a true return to FOOB form.

gently caress that FOOB parents. "Oh we kicked you out and realized an hour later that was bad form. We won't apologize though, you're still a deviant!"

Lawrence, in a good world, would have been found by Dustin. Dustin takes him off to the Tinkersons, who have room for two lost and abused boys. Dustin gets a job at the lightbulb factory, and everything works out great.

Oh and Lawrence goes to work for the Safe Havens lab, and gets the fucker shut down because of all the ethics violations.
