And don't underestimate how long cartoons/general pop culture can keep stuff in circulation via references, even if kids don't really get where it came from. It's always weird to me when people are surprised that kids can be aware of stuff from before their time.

Last year my mother was telling me about Arby's initial ad campaign to break the burger monopoly of fast food (in their words), and I immediately rattled off the jingle. "That was before you were born!" "Maybe so but the commercials weren't."

That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Whatever the witch influencers did to Brian in this comic just came home to roost. I’m sure everyone’s fine.

To recap, it was revealed back in The Silvery Moon that Brian used to be a werewolf, but was partially cured by the "hipster witches" / "witch influencers". At the end of the last story they did something to Brian, which apparently undid the cure and now he's full werewolf again.

See, this kind of thing is why it's really weird that nobody ever really discusses burning the hipster witches at the stake. They're in this weird position where they're too human for the Reverend to administer vigilante justice like he does to fishmen, but too supernatural for normal laws to apply, so they just go around committing sexual assault and now they're responsible for several deaths.

I'm going one hell deeper because my first thought was wondering if there should be a tiny lothar airdropping next to the towers or if it's better if they crashed IMMEDIATELY after the second-last panel.

Pogo 5/9-11/52




1952 was the first year Pogo ran for president, but he'd continue running in future elections as well. This included producing some campaign merchandise:





A "first of May" is circus slang for a noob.

Archie 7/21-23/49





The Virtue of Vera Valiant 1/30/77



"Liz and Dick" is a reference to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, whose rocky marriage finally arrived at Splitsville in 1974.

For some reason the phrasing of "here, take one of these with you" cracked me up good. Mexikid Stories owns.

FINGERPORI



In the original Finnish the phrasing was "Huumekauppiaat työllistävät poliisia", which literally means "drug dealers employing a policeman/the police", but "työllistää", to employ, is frequently used to mean "keeping someone busy" or "creating work for someone".
