Johnny Hazard

Johnny Hazard is about a...spy? I'm not actually sure what Johnny's job is. Anyway, it's about the titular Johnny getting into all sorts of high-stakes drama involving a revolving door of ethnic stereotypes(mostly European ethnic stereotypes for once, like Wee Dorrie The Most Scottish Scotsman On Earth and the current arc's "germans just say Herr a lot right"). It's generally pretty good.

He seems like your archetypical Pulp Action Guy. Adventure just kinda happens around him and he's always happy to punch someone in the face. I think it was stated that is in-strip job is being a representative for some air-shipping company?

I wonder if they've leaned to hard into making Wilbur a piece of poo poo because readers like hating on him.

I'm here for Wilbur being a complete trainwreck of a person.

Val is a master trickster himself and has absolutely seen real magic work right in front of him by now, so this lesson feels both unnecessary and basically wrong.

Merlin does say that there's also The Real poo poo beyond science and trickery. It's still a really weird thing that Merlin immediately dives into a Penn and Teller routine.

You can't just leave well enough alone, of course messing with the child's DNA even further is the correct solution to this "problem."

As for Val, the wasp nest was for paper to make the dummy.

I somehow missed that. I thought he was going to launch a wasp-filled witch at the castle.

While I sort of expect Wilbur to not be alone on the Island, it did appear pretty small in the one wide shot we saw of it.

Vater und Sohn: Great-grandpa, grandfather, father and child... (49/1936)



Christmas is coming!

The title is a reference to a 19th century poem about four generations of women musing on the following day's holiday and their lot in life - child and mother are looking forward to tomorrow, for grandmother it's a day of work like any other, and great-grandmother feels on death's door. Then lightning strikes and kills them all.

What's the title of the poem? That sounds wild.
