EasyEW posted:The whole "It's printed! How can it be a lie?" exchange in the first strip is painfully ironic in retrospect, since the Daily Worker had dedicated multiple pages to printing the full confessions from the Stalinist show trials in each of these recent issues...which were not only attended by Roosevelt's ambassador to the USSR, Joseph E. Davies, but earned his enthusiastic approval. And then in 1943 Warner Bros. turned Davies' book into Mission to Moscow, a piece of pro-Stalin wartime propaganda that at least one modern critic says "now seems an evil distortion, as if it were produced by Stalin himself", and that its favorable, approving depiction of the show trials is where "the film goes completely insane". Is there something in the strips that makes this actually relevant to the thread? Smug support for McCarthyism is some poo poo. the bus originally ran in Heavy Metal from 1979-1985, which is painfully ironic in retrospect, because heavy metal music is well-known for turning kids into disrespectful devil worshippers who would not be interested in commuting to a job on a bus instead of taking drugs. the bus

I promise that's definitely not how I intended that post to come across, and it's proof I need a better editor than myself if that's how it landed. The show trial confessions are what's really griping my butt, and they are taking up at least one full, eight-column page in each Daily Worker edition at this point.

Uramachi Sakaba These two sort of make a pair so I’ll wrap up with them:   And now we’re caught up with all of Uramachi Sakaba, until a new collected print edition comes out. Fortunately, Maruoka just released a new volume of Haraiso Days so that’ll keep us busy for a while. Cthulhu and Girl

B. Virtanen ANSU    That's it for the GO-GO collection of ANSU cartoons. I have 2 more books of his stuff, which are mostly similar (although the third one's drawings are very sketchy and quick). Would people be interested in me scanning more of his stuff? Fingerpori  wikipedia posted:The Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was an American initiative enacted in 1948 to provide foreign aid to Western Europe. The United States transferred $13.3 billion (equivalent of $173 billion in 2023) in economic recovery programs to Western European economies after the end of World War II.

Giant Ethicist posted:Uramachi Sakaba Thoughts reading those Uramachi Sakaba pages;
I also want to say that I'm enjoying Cthulhu and Girl, and part of me wonders what Lovecraft himself would have made of it. That is, if could wrap his head around the idea. Yvonmukluk posted:Bad Machinery Been meaning to post this, but Mr. Knott first appeared in the third Bad Machinery story, The Case of the Simple Soul (along with the first appearance of Little Claire);  Also, as Mildred states, Knott has been teaching at Griswalds for a long time, as seen in the two issue comic Expecting to Fly;  which takes place in 1996 (and yes that is Ryan Beckwith as a student)

In today's Blueberry: In addition to being unable to speak, we find out the Mute is also not able to fly, or In addition to being unable to fly, we find out the Mute is also not able to sp- oh, wait. Nevermind, or ...maybe he can get a customer discount from Baumzecer, considering how many times he's seen the man?
