    An early example of misleading photography.

    These old comics obviously targeted an adult audience, not kids. “Perfidious scoundrel, I leave thee!” What amazing dialog!

    Nice cityscape. But why both men in blue with same hat? One red coat would have helped old guys like me follow on first reading.

    So the term “Odd bodkins” is an old saying. I am curious about when and where things started.I like the drawing of the village and this was big enough to read, with magnification on.

    Confound these old Sunday Comics! They drive me to use archaic American terminology and phrasing!
