Mutt & Jeff by Bud Fisher for December 05, 2024

Will they meet Koko the Clown in there?

That don’t sound like any Korean or Chinese names.

Sounds Yugoslavian.

Got to love the Olden Days – when Comic Strip characters were allowed to discuss current events!

And 習近平 is pronounced Winnie the Pooh.

They have Chinese names in Korea?

The Koreans are not Chinese, and they have their own alphabet.

Is the artist Bud Fisher or then ghost artist Al Smith?

I don’t recall ever seeing this one, or if so it was a loooong time ago.

Reminded of a suggestion in the 1990s when much of the news was from Bosnia, with many consonants in place named, and Somalia, with as many vowels in theirs, that the two countries exchanged one for the other.

If true I’m all in with the boys.

How oddly relevant, as Korea tops the news with their martial law decree.

Korean and Chinese use symbols for writing. Vietnamese have an alphabet that they got from the French.
