Dude, there's a life ring right there that the artist went through all that trouble to draw. Throw it to Rene and alert a crew member. No need to jump in and have there be TWO dipshits drowning in the ocean that need to be rescued.
Especially since what's he gonna do, climb up the anchor chain clutching Rene?

Depends when the strip was written. Barbarossa didn't kick off until late June of '41 so for the first half of the year, the USSR was still the country that signed a treaty with Hitler and occupied half of Poland.

Since Pearl Harbor didn't happen until December, people probably weren't seriously pressured to drop being openly anti-soviet until '42.

I looked it up and you're right. The communist saboteur storyline took place in January. It's possible that the writer was anti-fascist, or just anti-whoever-he-thinks-the-readers-are-most-likely-to-read-as-a-credible-stock-villain-at-the-moment. But after all the disappointment I've been getting out of Modesty Blaise lately, I wouldn't make any bets that he's not an America Firster.

There has been recorded archeology of people having been buried under house floorboards, and not as some kind of an accident. Although, I seem to recall that being around the time of the Assyrians, so...

I've said this before but while Calvin is a little turd about a whole lot of things, that weird-rear end shade of green his moms cooking is is not one of them unless it's like 75% pesto. And even then, what the hell lady?

The difference is that you as the reader are supposed to understand that Calvin is a self important little poo poo. He’s also better written in general.

Also I’m pretty sure his mom’s cooking is canonically pretty bad. It’s a thing kids have to deal with sometimes so it’s pretty relatable.

Yeah there was a strip when she called something spider pie and he ate it with gusto. Or one where he has a tantrum about eating something new and he manages to get over it when his mom tells him it's hamburger casserole.
