I want to recognize that you made a way funnier joke introducing this panel than the panel made itself.

Toasted PB&J rules and it's totally worth how messy it is to eat. Makes me sad I'm allergic to peanuts now.

Weakheart was Dinky Doodle's dog in another Walter Lantz series for the Bray Studio. The name was a rib on Strongheart (born Etzel von Oeringen), a German shepherd film star who preceded Rin Tin Tin by a few years.

I feel like just yelling "NO REALLY THIS IS TOTALLY STEAMBOAT WILLIE MICKEY AND NOT NORMAL MICKEY" without any other signifiers to differentiate him might not be enough to keep it in the public domain, but what do I know? I'm not a copyright lawyer.

John Allison managed to briefly get away with an obvious Batman fan comic in Allisonverse clothing.

Randy Milholland will not manage to get away with angering the trillion-dollar industry that is Disney's legal department.

I don't think you'd have gotten away with having the bad guys rape the kids even in the edgy 90s let alone today* and most certainly not in the 40s, but the idea is definitely present in depicting slavery, child or not, without needing to be stated; but at the same time you can say it's "just" a slavery story which is bad enough as it is, really.

*the idea of G.R.R.Martin writing Prince Valiant is at once compelling and abhorrent

I don't think Foster meant that panel to suggest the kids are being sold for sexual reasons, although with slavery I'm sure that would always be a danger.

There are people in the USA right now who want to completely abolish child labor laws (and have already done some of that), so yes.

I've never had a grilled PBJ, but used to eat grilled peanut butter sandwiches as a kid all the time. I didn't love the J back then because my mom always bought preserves because it's "healthier". Spoilers: putting bits of whole fruit in jam does not make it in any way healthier, it just makes it more annoying to eat.

Anyway, Bets and Gunther may somehow be the least healthy relationship in this stupid strip (granted, there's only a handful). You're allowed to have separate interests, dummies! It's fine!
