weirdly, it not being a strained metaphor does make it much less uncomfortable. if anything holbrook could use more of these logical extrapolations from hellworld rather than trying to make hellworld things parallels of actual things, beastars was a fun comic

B. Virtanen ANSU   Fingerpori  I think the joke should work like this? About the name "Eka" Vekarainen: Eka = first, informal shortening of "ensimmäinen" Vekara = (unruly) kid Eka Vekara = Eega Beeva, a Disney character that has appeared occasionally in comics alongside Mickey Mouse. Intended to be a being of the future, Eega's characterized as having a whole bunch of peculiar habits like eating mothballs and sleeping on stalagmites. I think they've mainly appeared in the Donald Duck pocket comic books that afaik have largely European artists, with Italy being especially well represented.  The Donald Duck comics are (or have been) really popular over here so the name pun works.

I've become somewhat enamored with Scarlet O'Hara's weird Golden Age energy, particularly the fact that she seems to be a drifter with no agenda of her own apart from accidentally getting involved in things. She might as well be a ghost apart from the 2-3 perfunctory strips per arc where she is actually visible and it's kind of neat. e: O'Neil. Gosh, cultural priming, huh

manero posted:Nancy 1943 Defense stamps were a way of buying war bonds a little at a time - you'd buy a 10 cent stamp and put it in a book that held a specific number of them. When you filled it up, you would exchange it for a War Bond that could be redeemed for cash with interest after the war. The other non-postage stamps mentioned were ration coupons - you were only permitted a certain amount of sugar/gas/coffee/etc at a time, which was handled by you having to hand over a certain number of stamps from your issued book at the time of purchase. Nominally to ensure materials for the war effort, in actuality much American rationing was performative - it wasn't really critical, but helped the civilians feel like they were at war.

When you filled it up, you would exchange it for a War Bond that could be redeemed for cash with interest after the war. War bonds, in addition to directly raising money for the war effort, also had the useful effect of helping to curb inflation by giving people something to spend money on. In a restricted war economy, people couldn't really buy much beyond the necessities, so everybody's paychecks would just kind of pile up. And when everyone has too much money, prices tend to shoot up, which leads to all kinds of follow-on problems. The people having a popular and patriotic thing to spend some of that excess cash on helped to limit inflation and keep prices more or less stable. Bizarro  The Family Circus  Slylock Fox

Is there a meaning behind "1506 Nix Nix?" the bus

SuperKlaus posted:Is there a meaning behind "1506 Nix Nix?" I probably mentioned it in the last thread, but here it is again: One of Holman's cartoonist friends, Al Posen, best known around here for Them Days Are Gone Forever, lived in room 1506 of a hotel. Holman said that "1506 nix nix" was meant as a (not serious) warning for women to stay away from Posen's room. I'm pretty sure there's absolutely no hidden meaning behind "scramgravy ain't wavey," though.

Nominally to ensure materials for the war effort, in actuality much American rationing was performative - it wasn't really critical, but helped the civilians feel like they were at war. There were exceptions, although some of them were justifiable from an angle. Gas rationing in the US wasn't necessarily about about fuel shortages (because America was still a big petroleum producer) so much as about saving tire rubber by keeping cars off the road, because before synthetics were fully developed America was importing huge amounts of natural rubber from southeast Asia. Obviously that wasn't going to happen during the Pacific war, so dialing back tire wear bought the petrochemicals industry some time while they figured out a way to roll their own.

On the other hand, the punchline is "Pete is a great comic book writer." I dare you not to snicker.
