This is from the 2016 Flintstones comic and it’s WILD
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flintstones_(2016_comic_book)
That comic is better than it has any right to be
I especially liked the Neanderthals. Outsiders looking in.
Rip Neanderthals, can’t stand in the way of ‘progress’
They probably weren’t that different from Saipans, for both better and worse.
Nope, just not as adaptable physically. A part of them lives on in European DNA.
Couldn’t say no to that nussy
the quote marks are unbalanced yo
When speech passes over a line break it’s common to have it like this. It’s odd because it’s separated into separate boxes, but in paragraphs this is acceptable.
Maybe, but it won’t compile.
Kind of a comics faux pas - the white text box should itself indicate it’s a quote. In a book, punctuation has to do the heavy lifting for formatting but in comics, you have a lot more freedom visually.
Not necessarily, the white box could be narration, no?
potato potato
God how many times do we have to go over this, it’s potato not potato!
:P

Yeah they need to be, when going across paragraphs you leave the first set open, then open and close the second set. The first set then leads into the second.

Like so:
“The quotation opens on one paragraph,” the commenter explained, "but is sufficiently long that it needs to span over more than one. The quotation marks do not close at the end of the first paragraph.
“The quotation resumes on a second paragraph, with a corresponding open quote mark. Once the quotation is complete, the mark is closed at last.”
Yes, the quotes on later paragraphs is to remind the reader that Gandalf is still speaking and weaving his long tale about getting captured by Saruman and rescued bt the eagles, oh and that Saruman is a player in Sauron’s bid for world domination.
TIL its an actual book, not just a couple of panels, thx!
To be fair, in the aughts the US George W. Bush administration totally did torture for no good reason (except so that plutocrats could enjoy knowing brown people were suffering) and the US public let them get away with it, and even let the congressional report stay classified.
The Palestinian genocide’s been part of the plan for a century now, though it was originally a British colonial plan.
The only difference now is that news media moguls don’t control the narrative. Hopefully that’s enough to get them to stop, but I doubt it.
Watching Iran’s recent attempted revolution, violence is always unthinkable until the hour it’s inevitable. They’ll keep killing until enough people decide collectively it’s time to kill back. Our plutocrats would rather scorch the Earth than lose their power, and this is exactly what is happening. Even if we just want them to be part of an egalitarian society with the rest of us.
I’m pretty sure it’s not a good thing that Mahsa Amini has to die before Molotov cocktails are thrown and precincts are burned, if that is what is necessary to stop genocide. The problem is, it isn’t going to help Mahsa Amini. It didn’t help Armita Geravand. Whoever triggers the next public unrest won’t be helped either, so this paradigm sucks.
So I wonder if all of Palestine will have to be lost before the people of the world are willing to take seriously the threat that our plutocratic elite present to the rest of us (and themselves). I hope not. But then I’m afraid the death of five million Palestinians still won’t be enough.
Why would Britain want a Palestinian genocide?
And are you saying that a nation other than Gaza and maybe Iran planned the October 7 attacks?
Land
Israel
What is more likely?
Hamas’s founding document states their purpose is to eliminate Israel. Then they attack Israel
Britain wants land, their best plan is war in the middle east. Israel thinks that allowing an attack on itself and starting a military conflict in the middle east is a reliable and reasonable plan.
My guy, there’s no one controlling the world. The world is a mess. World leaders are not playing 4D chess with each other. They’re just looking out for the next election. Why do you so quickly go to conspiracy rather than incompetence? The world is chaotic because people are incompetent and there’s 8 Billion of them.
No one’s playing 4D chess but it’s not wise to think people aren’t opportunistic, or might be following in the footsteps of people who came before - remember the US contra affairs? This kind of shit has been happening forever, and truthfully - even without literally funding their national bogeyman, there’s a lot of things one can do to create their own enemy. Have you ever wondered why Hamas hates Israel? I’ll give you a hint - it has to do with powerful people colonizing land.
Hamas began twenty years into the occupation during the first Intifada, with the goal of ending the occupation. Collective punishment has been a deliberate Israeli tactic for decades with the Dahiya doctrine. Violence such as suicide bombings and rockets escalated in response to Israeli enforcement of the occupation and apartheid.
Hamas 1988 Charter and Revised 2017 Charter
The 1988 Charter, which is certainly unreasonable in its fundamentalism with Sharia Law and is antisemitic, does not call for the extermination of all Jewish People. Hamas wants an end to Israel as an Apartheid State, not an extermination of all Israelis. Under Ahmed Yassin in the 1990’s, truces were offered in exchange for Israeli to withdrawal from Gaza and the West Bank to the 1967 borders. The 2017 Revised charter explicitly accepts a Two-State Solution of the 1967 Borders. Check Article 7 and 13 of the 1988 Charter to see yourself, compare it to Article 20 and 24-26 in the revised charter.
The slogan From the River to the Sea is about Palestinian liberation that started in the 60s by the PLO for a democratic secular state, not Genocide. The Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad in 1966 maybe, but he’s not Palestinian.
History of Hamas supported by Netanyahu since 2012
Nice info. Ty
