If Nate put half as much effort into his schoolwork as he puts into âskimmingâ through itâŠ

âFâ for Francis and Nate

Technically, Nateâs right. Teddy Roosevelt effectively oversaw the construction of the canal by engineering a coup and tearing Panama away from Colombia and building the canal.
Wilson oversaw the final stage and opening of the canal but it was Teddyâs baby.
Francis is kind of like saying Norbert Sudhaus won the Munich â72 marathon and not Frank Shorter (all you newbies look that one up!)

I would like to state my guide on saying âFirst comment!â. Since it is, on the really popular comics, an achievement to get the first comment, I do find it acceptable to say âFirst comment!â or something along the lines of that, BUT ONLY if you have also commented something about the strip.

There is nothing important about âfirst commentâ it is all about âgood commentâ because that takes real work.
.
T. Roosevelt was involved in the building of the Panama Canal.

Cubbeey about 4 years ago
The report is going to be a disaster
DM9001 about 4 years ago
Wilson was president after, so there was no way Roosevelt wouldâve been vice.
