Bad Machinery by John Allison for July 27, 2023

I’m getting a real TinTin vibe from the last panel.

I do like the sent to Ireland part.

Hmm . . . and just how many of them end that way?

Not getting the “Capstan Full Strength and the national loaf” remark.

People under 40 probably don’t know what “being sent to Ireland” means.

For the fresh air.

Here in the states it was “she went upstate to visit her aunt” or “staying with family out in California”.

It’s sweet that Sonny wants to do something together with his grandfather.
