There's a bit in Transmetropolitan where Spider Jerusalem is writing his first new column in the middle of a riot, full of anger and precisely analyzing the social tensions behind the riot, and later they make a movie out of it where Spider is a musclebound action hero holding a laptop aloft on the roof yelling "I'm telling them that it's... WRONG!" and that second bit is what Jules thinks journalism is

Genuinely a bit surprised to see Nancy doing jujutsu in 1943, and it being portrayed as a positive thing. Maybe the "COMMANDO TACTICS" thing is there to soften the blow of using un-patriotic Japanese martial arts during the war? Or did the American public just not know that jujutsu was Japanese?

Then again, Jiu Jitsu already had decades of history in America and had been advocated by people like Teddy Roosevelt.

Maybe the "COMMANDO TACTICS" thing is there to soften the blow of using un-patriotic Japanese martial arts during the war? Jujutsu had been a thing in the west for decades by this point, especially in the military. I clearly remember a Fibber McGee and Molly radio show joke around this time about Wallace Wimple's "big old wife" teaching it to the Marines, and next to Nancy you can't get more mainstream than that during the 1940s. Mutts Sally Forth Skippy (August 28, 1935) Peanuts (August 18, 1976) Crankshaft, featuring the smile of a man who has doomed humanity with an exploding grill. Mutt and Jeff Rip Haywire Thimble Theater, featuring what pro wrestling fans call "firing the overbooking torpedoes". (March 20, 1940) Out Our Way (July 27-29, 1942) Even playtime goes on war footing. Which one gets to be the bull of the woods? EasyEW fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Aug 16, 2023 |

I get the feeling Al is about to try to punish these two consenting adults who are romantically interested in each other for *adjusts papers* possibly banging out of wedlock and a white man being attracted to a colored woman. I'm sure at one point the dumbass boomer writing Al thought he had relatable parenting concerns.
