I flipped through the pages while watching the dog show 🐕 . I browsed past some mid-series volumes (eg Homicide vol 2), and lots and lots of superhero titles.

BTW, I don’t think I ever noticed that until 1895, the segment of Belmont from Roy to Lakeview was fittingly called Diagonal Street.

Ben, I noticed that you don’t have an exact date for the rename of Diagonal Ave. A simple ordinance search didn’t provide an answer, except in July 1918 it is called “former Seattle Blvd” in a title.

The street descriptions in the Polk guides can narrow us to a year.

Thank you! I can finally share this with someone. The bear attacks have been a big news topic in Japan this year.

Tochigi TV has aired several segments about emergency preparedness of officials and hunters. You gotta see this one for the bear actor~~

The Tohoku shinkansen stops at Omiya. If your goal is to get to the museum, going out of the way for a shinkansen is a pretty big inconvenience. Just grab a regular train. But since the goal here is to take a short trip on the shinkansen, it sounds great.

For this particular route, I believe you want to look at the Green Lake Electric Railway as its origin in 1889. In the 1933 streetcar map, it looks like it was the number 6 streetcar.

Here's the 2016 route 26 web.archive.org/web/20090915...

Sounds like phd work 😂

Yeah I think you’ll need to do it the hard way. But maybe if you fish with an email to the KC Archives you’ll come up with pdf schedules? And revision summaries?

I bet it was newsworthy when it was introduced (1973 or later). Do you know how to search Seattle Times and PI archives through SPL?

Shoot I thought that 1988 map was over on wikimedia already. Now I’ve got more work to do before I can cancel my Flickr subscription…

When? As others said, you can get route 26x schedule from the wayback machine, just go to older dates for the current metro schedule page. Prior to 2007 the site was transit.metrokc dot gov. I was able to navigate to 2000 26 schedule.

Also, contact the King County Archives.

Looks like preorders start tomorrow~ This is a great time for me to use the new bookmark feature on this post until then

What a strange gap! Is it a licensing issue?

Browsing around a bit, I don’t even see a great bibliography in English. Japanese Wikipedia separates his work into so many genres! Because of Gigantor, the robot manga is a clear place to start. Maybe SF next?

I read Total Recall the book before seeing the film and was disappointed by how much they left out. Later I read We Can Remember It for You Wholesale and was disappointed by how much both the film and the book of the film needlessly added to a fantastic short story.

(Pair with Blade Runner above)

Other than reddit, have you seen discussion of the fan brawl outside the stadium? Suarez’ actions led to that and it should factor into all of the suspensions imo

I was literally watching it at the same time! My copy was in English tho.

It was my first viewing. I wondered if the colonel was really never as morally driven as he seemed A Few Dollars More, or if he’s just floating after getting vengeance, or it’s not really a trilogy??

Happy to! I need to reread my issues and do a proper summary, though~

Thanks for the great comic and for all that you do.
