Bibliotechno Music posted:Marlys! Marlys is a goddamn national treasure. Oh, and after enjoying Lil' Lefty taking swings at Harold Gray's aw-shucks-just-plain-folks populism, it's great to see Rocky & Bullwinkle continuing the tradition a generation later.

In today's Blueberry (Sorry, Some Guy TT): There's no funny commentary from me, other than that now you will see why I would consider myself a hypocrite for being against posting the mobile bathhouse strip, because this set of comics are timg'd, spoilered and  FOR A REASON, PEOPLE

So. There are two versions of Nimue. Both end poorly for Merlin, but it means the difference between a spiteful, evil woman, or horn-dog Merlin.

Thanks to everyone who's been willing to accommodate me and no ill will to those who don't. Reading every single comic in the thread is a bit much after all and leaves me less time for translating. Speaking of which-        I don't remember how big these were when I was using Imgur but I do like the side-by-side presentation. Even if it makes them look a little more comic booky than is really thread appropriate. edit: fixed a line I didn't like Some Guy TT fucked around with this message at 12:51 on Oct 18, 2022 |

manero posted:Nancy 1947 I was extremely puzzled by the first panel, until I worked out that those cold things were her own feet. It makes perfect grammatical sense, but... you know... they're her own feet? They got so cold she's just given up on heating them back up again? Things were tough in the '40s!

Unrelatedly, what did Modesty Blaise's 'network' actually do? All they seem to condone is casual murder of the criminal element and thievery from the wealthier criminal element, that strikes me as the sort of thing that gets you tag-teamed by every other game in town simultaneously.

Smuggling, illegal gambling, light protection rackets. E - if they were Mafia they'd be the ones controlling big olive oil. Not big Olive Oyl, that's an entirely different fetish.

All they seem to condone is casual murder of the criminal element and thievery from the wealthier criminal element, that strikes me as the sort of thing that gets you tag-teamed by every other game in town simultaneously. I mentioned this in a pervious post, from my copy of the Modesty Blaise Companion: quote:We are told that when the old Professor Modesty had taken care of for several years and who had given her a remarkable education, died, Modesty made her way to Tangier wand was soon employed in one of the casinos controlled by Louche, a small time gangster. When rivals killed him Modesty took over the remnants of his gang and over the next two years forged it into the The Network. Its many activities included smuggling, currency, insurance and gold scams, industrial espionage services and jewellery and art thefts. It never dealt in drugs or vice and and if the need arose, would kill those who did. Basically the Network stuck to more or less purely financial crimes, while avoiding those crimes they perceived as truly evil (drug dealing, human trafficking). Since they opposed those criminal organiztions that did commit those those crime it put the Network in the good graces of the local authorities, who turned a blind eye to the Network's activities. EFB, posting anyway.

Lots of footnotes today! Chako    I do like the wordless ones. Q-Rais has actually just started another long-form comic, wordless and surreal and cute and slightly dark, while also being about cute fluffy animals doing inscrutable jobs:  It’s in the queue for sharing, although I do still have three chapters of Sakaba and one of Haraiso I want to get through before I start anything new. Register Cat  In Japanese idiom, if you have “a cat’s tongue,” you are very sensitive to hot food. Cthulhu and Girl  I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a busful of cultist pensioners – depictions of the Buddha with lots of arms are also common. Self-Propelled Public Bath   Traditionally, “Sansuke” is a term for a bottom-of-the-totem-pole gofer / flunkie who works at a public bath, who’s in charge of cleaning, stoking the fires, and even washing customers’ backs and such.
