Arthur isn’t the only one. Garnett and Goldsmith have been making Andy Capp unoriginal for years.

The right wing alternative to Trudeau would be Pierre Poilievre who’s already said that if he gains power he’ll start a tariff trade war with Trump “fighting fire with fire”.

Sorry to hear that – any kind of vision loss is tragic, but even more so for child.

We went on holiday many years ago to Austria when I was a teenager. On the first night it snowed heavily and we got into a snowball fight with some local kids. BIG mistake – those kids pitched snowballs hard – it was like facing MLB snowball pitchers (think Verlander or Scherzer).

@LaughterIsJoyMuliplied – Itsy-bitsy little world wide webby arrived a long time after old mommy internet did. Timmy Berners-Lee was little webby’s daddy – but little webby and mommy internet are not the same thing. Ratty in the comic is talking about mommy internet, Painted Wolf is talking about little webby. Oooh, different things, be careful.
Is that ok? Aiming at young child/golden retriever level.

Probably important to emphasize that the Internet (which rat is talking about) and the World Wide Web are somewhat different. The lowest physical interconnection-layers of the internet were developed in the late 60s through to the early 80s, while the higher level networking and routing-layer protocols such as X.25, X.75, IP and TCP were developed through the 80s in a series of key RFCs. In the mid to late 80s we were using the internet to check NASA updates using the Spacelink over the telnet protocol, gopher and ftp ptocols for easy file sharing, email existed and nntp protocols were around for newsgroups for general themed chat etc etc. This was all several years before Sir Tim published his WWW specifications (http, html etc) in 1990 and first tools in 1991. I recall using NCSA Mosaic soon after when it was released by Marc Adreessen, but at the time it wasn’t just a web browser but a web+gopher+newsgroups+etc browser reflecting the wide variety of protocols in use at the end of the 80s. The arrival of the web was a big development, but its not like there was nothing similar running on the internet before it arrived.
