Well now that just brings up a load of questions about the timeline and whether they made any adjustments for republishing. I suppose these are from the mid-90s originally, and Mr. Bergner looks at least 50, so he'd have fled in about the late 50s, which works out, and if we read him as about 60 it even still works out for today and escaping around the late 70s.

although why he seems to have specifically travelled from the country to Berlin to jump the wall and then be stuck in West Berlin surrounded by East Germany on all sides is anyone's guess

I know that Hagar the Horrible is "it's actually just 20th century american poo poo but in viking outfits" the comic, but it's still loving wild that they're just depicting vikings happily sitting in a loving church.

And of course despite everyone else wearing a weird mixture of clothing from seemingly 5000 bc to about 6000 CE, the usher is wearing a tuxedo top.

It's fascinating to compare how Wallace and Crabgrass are both doing these extended storylines. Crabgrass has done a few but they all feel a little long in the tooth. But Wallace manages to make the pacing feel brisk and concise by knowing which parts need some focus and which parts to skip over.

Also, Wallace's imaginary friend being this green dog-lion decked up to represent his Scottish heritage is adorable. He's not even mad Wallace had to let go of him when he became older, he's just proud and supportive that Wallace is growing up a good kid.

Much like Spud's imaginary friend feels like an outcome of his neuroses, Wallace's has that confidence that drives him to be a great friend.

It helps that Wallace is presenting the whole thing ambiguously enough that it can still be read as Wallace and Spud just goofing around, where Crabgrass would definitely make sure we know that the secret world of imaginary friends is absolutely a real tangible element of the setting.

I'm pretty sure adults have been shown interacting with/responding to the sandwiches Spud receives from Gary, but that might just be the power of Spud's psychic field/strong prop game.

I actually like the magical realist tendencies of Crabgrass. My only complaint about the strip is that it feels derivative of Calvin & Hobbes sometimes, and making kids' fantasies more concrete helps set it apart.

Take all three out, putting the two you don't want back in somewhere else? Moving the cars is presumably mechanical rather than "someone gets in and drives them" so it wouldn't be that much slower than the elevators themselves.

My guess: there's enough space between rows to pull cars in and out.

Reading up on it further and it gets more interesting: apparently the electric parker pointed out on the plan was a little rubber-tired sled that would slide under a car, grab its rear axle, and tow it to the parking spot instead of having to have an attendant drive the car into place. So the whole building was operated by a staff of six.

Yeah, it's incredibly impressive especially when you consider they did it with 1930s technology.

I found my current desk chair sitting next to someone's outgoing garbage while I out taking a walk. It was brand new such the tags were still on it, so I wheeled it home, only to sit on it and see it didn't recline properly. I turned it over and the base with an arrow reading "FRONT" was pointing to the back. A few minutes with an Allen wrench later, I had a brand new chair that worked perfectly. So, thank you person who can't read.
