So could someone explain the Lenny Bruce line. Like, I know he was a comedian, but I'm not at all familiar with him.
The whole week Arlo has been topical and Janis has been telling him he needs to tell jokes. Lenny Bruce did a lot of political and social commentary in his act and it got him in trouble a lot.

Aside from this awful story set up, I find Mozz to be quite a character. He's such a sassy prophet.

Well blow me down, Tiger Queen is transforming into Popeye in panel 3 there! And well, everything else about it. Lmao that background. Good ol' flying cacti!

I wonder why somebody who can't draw distant/zoom out shots insists on drawing multiple per strip. There's a dude in panel 1 with a stick figure leg!

I'm still not sure if this tiger touch center is bad or not, I mean sure every comic in the past two weeks has been Mark saying "This tiger touch center is bad" but I'm not convinced. I think maybe if Jules has Mark say "This tiger touch center is bad" in every comic for another two or three weeks then I'll be sure.

I really hope that actually is supposed to be Mozz jogging to get away from Diana because my brain will not interpret it any other way.

Little Lefty (May 31-June 2, 1937)



From Raymond Hoff's notes to Robert Merriman's Spanish Civil War diaries: "The artist Philip Bard was born in 1912 and lived in New York City. Bard become a member of the American Communist Party in 1931. Part of the first group who sailed on the Normandie on December 26, 1936, Bard was made Lincoln Battalion Commissar. Bard had asthma, however, and health problems plagued him before he could see any action. He would be returned to the US on March 19, 1937, and perform coordination duties for the VALB [Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade] in New York City."

As to what type of artist Phil Bard was, he was very much up to date.

The question to me is whether (1) "Not a word" will sneakily be reinterpreted to "but if I silently hand her a book...", or if (2) "Hmm... Mozz won't talk, which means I'll go check that crypt where my dumbass husband hides all his beer and books and thinks he's so sneaky."


Followed, of course, by a six-day-long comic of Diana shooting Savarna through a prison window before Phantom can rescue her.

Also exactly the same hair setup probably down to the clipart that one of Dad's coworkers has, of whom I also thought "oh huh, headscarf?" when she first appeared.

to be fair I don't think we can rule out that this time it's supposed to be a headscarf, either
