He knows Sarah's memory loss is a cover for not being called to the witness stand for anything she may have seen or heard during her time with her benefactor.

I wonder if TDIET ever did one where on one side you have somebody bashing the president, and the next panel is "But as soon as their guy is in office-" and he's all "Respect the position if not the man!"

Any love for old Archie, or drop?

On one hand, 50s Archie is not really any different from Archie over the next several decades barring extreme cases like the new sexy teen murder mystery series or Afterlife. On the other hand, Archie is always generally really good, or at least consistently above average. God, if people keep posting stuff like Funky Winkerbean or Chickweed Lane, dropping Archie would be downright insulting.

See you could make a decent joke about Sluggo being a hobo child(was he always meant to be that way or is that just how boys in the 30s dressed?) but Gilchrist is always just using every character in the strip for out of place nostalgia porn.

Well, she sorta toured PoW camps and said " Everything is A-Okay and those guys claiming they got tortured by the North Viet are liars and pawns."

Like, the enemy would show you the bad places when you're being used for propaganda.

Yeah IIRC she actually came to regret it herself because the Vietcong shoved their fists up her rear end and used her as a puppet. Even so, it's dumb to still be sore about it in TYOOL 2017. I expect Sluggo making a snarky reference to John Kerry's service record soon.

Does that mean she's immortal in the sense she won't ever die of natural causes but can be killed, or would she still be technically alive even if she fell into a meat grinder? Wait, considering Dick Tracy's old levels of violence, I might have just guessed the gruesome ending to this arc.

Releasing it one per story makes perfect sense to me because normal people can just get the ones they like while collectors are insane and if they're gonna drop so much dough on having a complete collection anyway they may as well be milked for a bit more.
