Alright, so.

"Kanava" = channel. The essive form (indicating the state or role of being, for instance "opiskelijana", as a student) is "kanavana". "Kanavana" is also a compound word of "kana", chicken and "vana", which is ... well, it can be a trail, a row, a line etc.

So either the website could be used as a channel for marketing, or a row of chickens could be used for marketing. I vote for the second option.

(It's also a lot of fun to say. Both words are pronounced kinda like "mahna" in the old Muppet song "Mahna Mahna", except of course with a K and a V)

Welcome to 1995, where we have to explain what a screen saver is, and what the desktop trash can is, just in case.

The little explanations of basic GUI stuff is very nostalgic.

This is a pretty obvious analysis on my part, but I presume this is why Dale doesn't really want to go back. We've seen her described pre-Mongo as a "traveler" and that's about it. On Earth Flash is a renowned athlete and an Ivy League graduate, Zarkov is some kind of genius mad scientist, but Dale is just some rando who happened to get taken along. Meanwhile on Mongo she's an adventurer and a space alien who gets to hobnob with royalty.

This Luann storyline sucks pretty bad(surprise) but I appreciate the extra idiot effort of sneaking in the use of AI to really stink things up. Just two business majors discussing how they'll offer a valuable service to others that ultimately boils down to them asking a machine to vomit out stolen art. For the college student too stupid to notice the entirety of pop culture?

Aside from the fact that the harp was clearly broken when it fell these strips follow each other sequentially. Just how freaking lazy is Jules? :v:

The harp was also taller than Violet and halves itself again in the second panel. Blank squares within squares for background decoration again too. "How freaking lazy is Jules?" could be posted every day by this point!

lmao the size of the door vs the harp in both panels. kids show rear end prop door for a guy in a giant muppet suit to walk through
