The last panel is a pun on the Fuller Brush Company, which was well known back then for its door-to-door salesmen.

Which reminds me of a news story I read once about a potential merger between the Yale Lock Company, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Fuller Brush, and W. R. Grace Chemicals. The new company would have been called Yale Mary Fuller Grace.

Anyway, back to the strips...

I was an English major and I still recognize that the reason your math teacher marked you wrong if you didn't use the method he taught you is because the whole point is he's trying to teach you that method. The point is to learn the concept, not the equation.

That rant was originally much, much longer because Nancy's been so Boomerey lately it broke my brain and I suddenly flashed back to arguing with olds on Facebook like I was back in Nam. Anyway, I'm better now, so I deleted most of it.

He marked her wrong because she did length x width instead of width x length. She used the correct method and got the correct result and (correctly) understood that the order of the two measurements was unimportant. The teacher is in the wrong here.

Hagar the Horrible

A somewhat historical accurate Hagar. Insults were a big deal in the viking age. According to Icelandic law, a person who mocked someone else with a verse could be outlawed for example.
Then there's Njål's saga. Flose and Njål had reached a settlement over a murder and Njål was to pay Flose an amount of silver. But when Njål put a piece of velvet on the silver Flose felt insulted because it was too womanly. Flose then said "many people like Njål doesn't know if he's a woman or a man." One of Njål's sons then retorted with "people say that you're the pleasure of the Svinefell Giant that every ninth night makes a woman out of you". poo poo escalated from there and at the end Flose burned down Njål's house with Njål and his sons inside it.

Spoilered for sex.

Incidentally, a small-sample-size informal poll of “some Japanese friends of mine who are comfortable talking about it” suggests that this sort of thing (er, the sex-having, anyway) is sometimes basically just part of being a Japanese parent. Co-sleeping with an infant is pretty common (especially if you’re in a futon rather than a bed), and having an infant sleep in another room is more or less completely unheard of – until they’re one or two (and often quite a bit longer) a baby is almost certain to be, if not in the parents’ futon, in a crib in the parents’ room at the furthest, so lots of parents just sort of quietly make do, as it were.

Here's the first thing I found searching "Enka" on Youtube:
