amigolupus posted:It's wild reading the strips because of the different dynamics. Poor Betty could do so much better. I wonder when they shifted things into the love triangle people are familiar with nowadays? It also probably explains why they came up with the character of Cheryl Blossom; maybe the people at Archie Comics wanted to recapture the dynamic of Archie brushing off the attention of Betty/Veronica in favor of Cheryl, and the subsequent hijinks that result from it. As I understand it, the Archie folks created Cheryl because they thought Veronica had softened too much from her original conception as a stuck-up rich bitch, and they wanted someone who could be a villain. But Veronica doesn't seem that bad in the strips so far.

Breadmaster posted:I thought the moon didn't have any water, unless some was left behind after an ice comet struck it? You can find it at the poles. Not huge amounts, but some. It might also be present in tiny amounts in the subsurface once you're deep enough for shielding. Back in the day they just assumed a lot more of it would be available; the sheer amount available on Earth made the idea of our nearest neighbour having a lot seem reasonable. 1961 is an era where some people were still arguing about canals on Mars.

Breadmaster posted:I thought the moon didn't have any water, unless some was left behind after an ice comet struck it? There's definitely some found in the polar regions over the past couple decades, but yeah, that's primordial water. In 1961, there hadn't been any lunar sample returns, or even successful soft landings. The thing that strikes me about the image is the assumption that any liberated water vapor will leisurely rise upwards to to collect around your portable steam dome, instead of rapidly dissipating in the near vacuum, with trace amounts freezing onto it (and subsequently sublimating off of it) I suppose we can assume that Dr. Brereton intended some sort of enclosed solar heating structure, but this was not communicated to the artist.

I'm pretty sure there are still some plans for trying to get water from lunar regolith being considered right now, or at least "recently," for some definition of that term. How plausible they are, I don't know, but it's not yet an outdated idea in the way the canals of Mars and the jungles of Venus are.Mr. Squishy posted:As thoughts go it's a pretty fruitless one.

Murdstone posted:I once was looking for a Mother’s Day card and there was a thank you card in that section for some reason. I liked it and wound up buying it and writing a nice note thanking my mom for all she has done for me in my life. It’s probably the most meaningful gift I ever gave her. This is both awesome and heartwarming. Good on you!

But Veronica doesn't seem that bad in the strips so far. That makes sense. I was reading Archie comic books in the 1970s and 1980s, and there was very little differentiation between Betty and Veronica, other than the occasional story where Veronica would let her bougie flag fly. She was still a brat, but a nice-ish brat, I guess. When I was a kid, the Catholic parochial school I attended had a line of Christian Archie Comics on their literature rack in the back of the church. I remember flipping through them, surprised at how outright preachy they were. caribiner23 fucked around with this message at 20:59 on May 12, 2024 |

Honestly I’m kind of surprised a Catholic church would have Spire comics—they’re pretty protestant, though not Jack Chick-hostile to Catholicism.
