Kolchak is indeed delightful! Funny enough, I have to watch Kojak yet.
Peacock has Kolchak, Columbo (free on Tubi), and Murder, She Wrote (also on Tubi).

Fwiw, I've also been grappling with and thinking through that problem of scale in comic strips for a bit now.
Related to trying to teach the comic, I figured I'd share this article I wrote where we used DH methods to read study all of Peanuts all at once (link below), if it's of interest.

Yeah, this is a major bummer. We've been working on building some GM programming here at UND, with hopes to apply for this in the future. Fingers crossed it will eventually come back in full force.

Ooo. Golden Son was a blast. I've been enjoying that whole series.

My cohort of faculty friends are getting together tomorrow to celebrate making it through our first year as TT faculty, and I'm baking some spinach, artichoke, and gruyere stromboli to share. I'm very excited about both activities, tbh.

Yeah, I absolutely hear you. I also think Osman is onto something special, so I've been taking those books slow (also between my own usual fare).
